When we step in
Common situations
01
There is an investigation file, a summons, a warrant, a complaint or a hearing that needs attention right away.
02
You, a relative, a company or its representative faces charges or needs to build a documented defence.
03
You are a victim or aggrieved party and need to take an active part in the investigation, in compensation or in the criminal proceedings.
What it covers
Scope of service
Defence or legal counsel from whatever stage the matter reaches us
Review of the investigation file, investigative steps, interviews, expert evidence and case theory
Hearings, precautionary measures, alternative resolutions, abbreviated procedure or oral trial, as appropriate
Appeals, sentence enforcement and amparo where they form part of the strategy
In criminal matters every decision can affect liberty, assets, reputation and compensation; that is why the file is run with strategy and evidence from day one.
How we work
From urgency to strategy
01
First response
We establish in what capacity the person is involved, which authority is handling the matter, what step comes next and what the risks are, before deciding how to act.
02
Case theory and evidence
We analyse the background, the prosecution's material and our own evidence to build a case theory that is verifiable and procedurally useful.
03
Hearings, appeals and follow-up
We prepare every hearing and agree the key decisions with the client, including precautionary measures, alternative resolutions, trial, appeals or amparo where available.
Frequently asked questions
Worth knowing from the start
I have received a summons from the Public Prosecutor's Office. What should I do?
Before attending, it is important to read the summons and know in what capacity you are being called. A prior consultation makes it possible to identify your rights, the risks, the paperwork and the approach to take.
Does compensation or payment automatically end a criminal matter?
Not necessarily. Its effect depends on the offence, the stage of the proceedings, the legal requirements and the parties' positions. The file must be reviewed before assuming any outcome.
Do you also represent victims?
Yes. We act as legal counsel to victims and aggrieved parties to push for investigative steps, protective measures, participation in hearings and full compensation, as the case requires.
