    Solution

    "Moved heaven and earth" means to make an extraordinary effort, which fits the context of the lawyer working hard to gather convincing evidence. "Saved his skin" means to avoid trouble or danger, and "Took the bull by the horns" means to take decisive action, but they are not as suitable for the scenario of proving innocence with evidence.
