WHY SHOULD YOU CONTACT A LAWYER IN TIME?
FOUR MAIN REASONS YOU MUST CONSIDER!
OBTAINING KEY EVIDENCE
The first 48 hours from the start of criminal prosecution are the most important, as the key evidence in the case is obtained during this period. In the next stage of the investigation, both parties will rely on this evidence to obtain the rest.
DEADLINES FOR APPEAL
On the other hand, investigative actions conducted in violation of the law must be appealed to the investigative panel within the 48 hours defined by law; otherwise, the evidence obtained may be deemed admissible. If not challenged, it will proceed to the merits stage of the case and may serve as the basis for a guilty verdict.
IMPOSITION OF A PREVENTIVE MEASURE
In addition, the prosecutor files a request with the court for the application of a preventive measure within 48 hours of your arrest, and it largely depends on the lawyer which measure the judge will apply.
DETERMINING THE DATE OF INVESTIGATION COMPLETION
Additionally, the date for the completion of the investigation is determined at the first court hearing. This period is critical for you, as collecting information to prove your innocence is only possible within this timeframe. Therefore, it is the lawyer who ensures that the court sets a reasonable period for the investigation.

TIMELY INVOLVEMENT OF A LAWYER IN THE CASE ENSURES EFFECTIVE DEFENSE, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
- AVOIDS IRREPARABLE CONSEQUENCES
- A JOINT DEFENSE STRATEGY IS DEVELOPED
- PREVENTS THE PROSECUTION FROM OBTAINING ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE

HOW TO WIN A CRIMINAL CASE?
FOUR MAIN RULES FOR WINNING A CASE
In an adversarial process, where the judge only performs the function of delivering the verdict, the main roles are played by the prosecutor and the lawyer, and their professionalism can determine the outcome of the case.
Therefore, winning the case requires gathering appropriate evidence, developing a reasonable defense strategy, and effectively managing the case in court.
With this in mind, Saba Khelashvili's defense methodology is based on four main tactics, namely:
CONDUCTING AN EFFECTIVE INVESTIGATION
OUR GOAL IS TO OBTAIN MATERIALS THAT PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE. THE DEFENSE DOES NOT RELY SOLELY ON THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED BY THE PROSECUTION, BUT CONDUCTS ITS OWN, INDEPENDENT, AND THOROUGH INVESTIGATION, THEREBY CREATING A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR THE CASE:
- WE SEARCH FOR AND QUESTION OUR WITNESSES, EXAMINE THE CRIME SCENE, AND CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATIVE EXPERIMENT;
- WE OBTAIN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE TO SHOW THE COURT THE OBJECTIVE TRUTH;
- IF NECESSARY, WE COLLECT SAMPLES AND COMMISSION AN INDEPENDENT EXPERTISE.
STRATEGIC ANALYSIS OF EVIDENCE
WE STUDY ALL THE EVIDENCE OBTAINED BY THE PROSECUTION WITH PARTICULAR ACCURACY: WE ANALYZE EVERY DETAIL OF THE CASE TO QUESTION THEIR ORIGIN, AUTHENTICITY, ADMISSIBILITY, AND RELIABILITY:
- WE CHECK WHETHER THERE WAS A STANDARD OF PROBABLE CAUSE TO CONDUCT INVESTIGATIVE ACTIONS;
- WE COUNT THE TIMES MENTIONED IN THE PROTOCOLS AND IDENTIFY SIGNIFICANT INCONSISTENCIES;
- WE SEARCH FOR CRITICAL INACCURACIES IN THE PROTOCOLS OF THE PROSECUTION'S WITNESS INTERROGATIONS AND PREPARE A QUESTIONNAIRE FOR CROSS-EXAMINATION.
EFFECTIVE CROSS-EXAMINATION
CROSS-EXAMINATION IS THE SHARPEST AND MOST POWERFUL TOOL OF THE DEFENSE IN THE COURTROOM. IT IS NOT JUST ASKING QUESTIONS, IT IS A THOROUGH PROCESS AIMED AT GETTING THE PROSECUTION'S WITNESS TO ADOPT THE VERSION THAT THE DEFENSE WANTS:
- OUR GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY THE WITNESS'S POSSIBLE BIAS, HIDDEN MOTIVES, OR INTEREST IN THE OUTCOME OF THE CASE;
- WE VERIFY HOW THE WITNESS'S STATEMENTS IN COURT ALIGN WITH THE TESTIMONY GIVEN DURING THE INVESTIGATION OR OTHER EVIDENCE.
- WITH THE RIGHT APPROACH, WE FORCE THE WITNESS TO CONFIRM, IN THEIR OWN WORDS, THE FACTS THAT SUPPORT THE DEFENSE'S POSITION.
EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION WITH THE PROSECUTION
COOPERATING WITH THE INVESTIGATION IS SOMETIMES THE MOST ECONOMICAL, FASTEST, AND MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO WIN A CASE. YOUR LAWYER KNOWS WHEN FIGHTING FOR AN ACQUITTAL MAKES SENSE AND WHEN NEGOTIATION IS THE BEST SOLUTION.
- OFTEN, COOPERATION WITH THE INVESTIGATION AND ADMISSION OF GUILT LEAD TO A RESULT EQUIVALENT TO WINNING;
- THIS WAY, IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE A REDUCTION OF THE CHARGES, A LOWERING OF THE EXPECTED SENTENCE, OR CONDITIONAL RELEASE;
- IN ADDITION, IT IS POSSIBLE TO REPLACE THE EXPECTED IMPRISONMENT WITH A LESS SEVERE FORM OF PUNISHMENT.
