View case : Full Acquittal of M.B. in a Case Involving Threats to KillThe outcome of each case depends on its individual factual and legal circumstances. The outcome achieved in one particular case does not guarantee a similar outcome in another case.
The prosecution accused my minor child of theft. Avtandil Giorgadze developed a defence strategy and conducted an independent defence investigation. As a result, my child was fully acquitted by Judge Tea Leonidze of the Tbilisi Court of Appeals. I am grateful to the lawyer because he did everything to protect my child’s interests. With the help of his knowledge, experience and high level of professionalism, we achieved this result.
Avtandil Giorgadze represented my interests in a criminal case. I was charged with a particularly serious offence and, if convicted, faced up to 20 years’ imprisonment or life imprisonment. Thanks to my lawyer’s efforts in fighting for me, the court found me innocent and acquitted me. Thank you to Avtandil Giorgadze for sparing no effort to secure my acquittal.
The prosecution charged me with making threats against the same person in respect of whom I had already been convicted once. The “victim” had witnesses who were giving false testimony, and, at first glance, it seemed that I would inevitably be found guilty. However, alongside the prosecution’s investigation, Avtandil Giorgadze effectively conducted a new investigation and proved to the court that both the victim and the witnesses presented by that person were interested parties: they had a civil dispute with me and were giving false testimony against me. Avtandil Giorgadze not only exposed their false testimony but also found impartial witnesses and questioned them before the court. These witnesses described what had actually happened. It was through his efforts that Judge Lela Shkubuliani of the Tbilisi City Court found me completely innocent and released me from the courtroom.
