Criminal Defence in Georgia

Advokato can assess a criminal-procedure problem in Georgia and provide defence within an agreed engagement. Start by identifying whether the person is detained, accused, summoned as a witness or unsure of their status. Depending on the case, the work can include a status and deadline map, a defence plan, assessment of lawfully available material, agreed motions and representation at specified actions or hearings. A later trial or appeal is included only if agreed. Availability, the lawyer assigned and communication language must be confirmed; no release or case result is promised.

The right route starts by assessing current law, facts, documents and deadlines together. This page provides a practical framework; an individual strategy is formed only after a confidential case assessment.

The Criminal Procedure Code governs the ordinary Georgian process. Juvenile cases and special routes need a separate assessment; this overview does not assign accused-person rules to every witness.

1. Article 38 provides accused-person safeguards concerning understandable notice, counsel, silence and interpreter assistance under its conditions.
2. Articles 43–44 protect counsel communication and define the lawyer's participation and lawful defence powers. Access to case material follows the Code's limits and procedure.
3. Articles 45–46 regulate mandatory defence and state-funded assignment. Eligibility and appointment must be checked; they do not make a private engagement with Advokato free.
4. A summons, arrest record, restraint order and judgment require different checks. Identify the applicable challenge, its trigger and calculation instead of assuming one deadline for all criminal matters.
