Who Is the Lawyer Who Specializes in Internet Cases?
An internet lawyer is a lawyer with advanced legal qualifications in the field of criminal law, with a specific specialization in information technology crimes and cybercrimes, and a technical understanding of the nature of cybercrimes, their mechanisms of commission, and digital evidence.

The Role of a Specialized Lawyer
An internet lawyer performs vital roles including providing urgent legal advice to victims of cybercrimes, documenting digital evidence in a legally sound manner, filing extortion or defamation cases before the competent authorities, providing legal representation before the Public Prosecution and the courts, negotiating with electronic platforms to delete offensive content, and demanding material and moral compensation for victims.
Types of Internet and Blackmail Cases

Why Do You Need a Lawyer Specializing in Internet and Extortion Cases?
Immediate Legal Advice
When you are a victim of online extortion, you need immediate consultation to understand your legal options and initial steps to protect yourself. A lawyer specializing in cybercrime should provide an urgent consultation to assess the situation.
Urgent Protection Measures
Before formally filing a blackmail case, immediate protective measures should be taken, such as documenting evidence, saving conversations and messages, stopping the spread of abusive content, and contacting social media platforms to delete the offending content.
Submitting Reports and Complaints
The lawyer is responsible for officially filing an extortion case before the Public Prosecution and the Cybercrime Unit, while preparing all the necessary documents and evidence in a legally correct manner.
Full Legal Follow-up
From the moment an extortion case is filed until the final verdict is issued, the lawyer must provide full follow-up of the case, attend investigation and trial sessions, and file appeals if necessary.
Claim for Compensation
In cases of blackmail and defamation, the victim has the right to claim financial and moral compensation for the damages suffered. A specialized lawyer can help you assess the extent of the damage and claim appropriate compensation.
Steps to Choosing the Right Lawyer
Searching for a Specific Specialization
It is not enough for a lawyer to be a specialist in criminal law; he must be a lawyer specializing specifically in internet cases, with documented experience in cyber extortion and technology crimes.
Professional Record Review
Request information about previous cases handled by the lawyer in the field of internet cases, and the success rates in filing a blackmail case or defending in cyber defamation cases.
Assessing Communication and Transparency
A good lawyer should be clear in explaining the steps for filing an extortion case, the expected legal procedures, the time frame, and the potential costs, without any ambiguity or exaggeration.
Ensuring the Availability of Technical Capabilities
An attorney specializing in internet cases must work with a team of digital forensics experts and cyber investigators who can track down perpetrators and gather the necessary technical evidence.
