Defence during an investigation
We become involved as early as possible, review procedural documents, assess the evidence, prepare motions and explain the legal consequences of each procedural step before decisions are made.
Court representation
The defence position is built around the actual evidence and procedural history of the case. We attend hearings, make the necessary applications, question witnesses and, where appropriate, challenge decisions on appeal.
Confidential communication
Criminal-law consultations are handled confidentially. If the matter is urgent, contact us by telephone or WhatsApp and tell us the procedural status and the next scheduled action.
Questions & Answers
Questions clients ask at the start of a criminal case
When should a criminal lawyer become involved?
Can you defend a foreign national in Georgia?
Yes. We represent foreign clients and can organise much of the communication remotely when appropriate. We also identify what translations, documents or form of representation the case requires.
What does a criminal lawyer review in the case file?
We focus on the legal classification of the allegation, the source and consistency of the evidence, procedural actions already taken, deadlines and facts that may strengthen the defence.
Can a family member obtain an initial consultation?
An initial organisational consultation is possible, but a full defence strategy should normally be based on communication with the client and review of the actual case materials.
What should I include in the first message?
Tell us the stage of the case, the investigator or court if known, the next procedural date, the documents you have and any urgent circumstances such as detention, a search or a travel restriction.
Have you been contacted by an investigator or do you already have a criminal case?
Tell us briefly your procedural status, the latest action taken and the next scheduled date. In criminal defence, timing matters, and the strategy must be built around the documents and the first procedural steps.
