Disputes With Georgian Authorities
While you are in Georgia, you are subject to Georgian laws and regulations, which are often quite different from U.S. laws and regulations. If, however, Georgian authorities discriminate against you because you are an American or treat you unfairly in comparison with Georgian citizens, we can intervene on your behalf. Please keep in mind that while our intervention may help, only Georgian authorities have the power to resolve such disputes.
Private Legal Disputes
The U.S. Embassy cannot become involved in private legal disputes, such as those between you and a Georgian business partner. In these circumstances, we recommend you retain an attorney. The Consular Section maintains a list of local attorneys who have told us they are willing to represent American citizens.
