Looking for a criminal lawyer in Madrid?
If you arrived because of an arrest, summons or white-collar matter, this is what is usually at stake and how we handle it.
Partner signature
A partner with a doctorate in Law leads the file, not a call centre.
24-hour urgency
Off-hours we triage and alert counsel. You can ask for a person anytime.
Defence with judgment
Procedural strategy from the first step, without generic promises.
White-collar focus
Also when the case crosses companies, accounts or frozen assets.
What we resolve
We step in when liberty, assets or reputation are at stake. We do not pass the matter down a chain of associates.
Summons and investigation
Statement preparation, procedural strategy and attendance from day one.
White-collar crime
Fraud, disloyal administration, money laundering and compliance when the case mixes individual and company.
Private prosecution
If you are the injured party, we prosecute with the same depth as defence.
Who signs the file
In criminal matters, the case is led by who can go to court.

Frequently asked questions
Direct answers for those looking for a criminal lawyer in Madrid.
What should I do if I am arrested?
Ask for a lawyer and do not give a statement without one. Give a relative our number so counsel can be activated.
In the first intervention we prioritise appearance, contact with the detainee and clear instructions.
Off-hours a virtual agent may take the case first and pass it to a lawyer; you can ask for a person anytime.
Do you handle white-collar crime?
Yes. Fraud, disloyal administration, misappropriation, money laundering and cases mixing individual and company are common.
On the first call we identify whether the risk is liberty, assets or both.
We do not promise outcomes: we give a realistic frame of risks and next steps.
Can you act as private prosecutor?
Yes. If you are injured by a crime, we can appear as private prosecutor with the same depth as in defence.
We review evidence, quantum of harm and procedural viability before committing resources.
In consultation we say whether to prosecute, appear or support the public prosecutor.
How much does a criminal lawyer cost?
It depends on phase, complexity and whether there is custody, interim measures or an economic dimension.
We do not quote generic fees without knowing the case.
On the first conversation we explain fit, phase and fee model.
Is the first contact with a partner?
When the matter fits, who answers or calls back is who will lead the file: a partner.
We filter urgency and subject matter early.
In criminal emergencies the goal is to activate counsel as soon as possible.
Do you work in several languages?
Yes. Spanish, English and Romanian when the matter requires it.
This is common in cases with international parties or papers.
On the first call we agree the working language of the file.
