Frequently asked questions
Questions about criminal law
I have been arrested or summoned by the police in Spain. What should I do?
Stay calm and contact a lawyer as soon as possible. You have the right to be assisted by a lawyer and, if you do not speak Spanish, by an interpreter. Do not sign statements you do not understand. Call us and we will assist you from the first moment.
I am a foreigner. Can a criminal case affect my residence in Spain?
It can, depending on the offence and your personal situation. That is why it is important to have a defence that takes these consequences into account from the start. We analyse your case and explain the possible effects clearly.
I have been the victim of a crime. What can I do?
You can report it and take part in the proceedings as a private prosecutor, with your own lawyer defending your interests. This allows you to propose evidence, request protection measures and claim compensation for the damage suffered.
Will I have a criminal record?
Only if there is a final conviction. Even then, criminal records can be cancelled after a certain period if the legal requirements are met. We advise you on how to protect your record and, when possible, request its cancellation.
What happens if I am caught driving under the influence of alcohol?
Depending on the level of alcohol and the circumstances, it can be an administrative infringement or a criminal offence, with fines, loss of licence or even more serious penalties. A good defence can make a significant difference to the outcome.
Is everything I tell you confidential?
Yes. Everything you share with us is protected by professional secrecy. You can speak to us openly so we can defend you properly.
