Personal oversight of every criminal case

The real work

What exactly does a criminal lawyer do?

It is not just being in court. Most of what determines a criminal case happens before the trial.

  • 01

    Analyses the case before acting

    Reads the file, identifies the prosecution evidence and detects nullities and weak points before setting a strategy.

  • 02

    Prepares every statement

    No statement is improvised: what is declared, when and for what procedural purpose is decided in advance.

  • 03

    Intervenes in precautionary measures

    Remand, restraining orders, passport seizure or bail. They are challenged from day one.

  • 04

    Proposes and controls the evidence

    Expert reports, witness testimony, documents, technical reports, CCTV and messages. Evidence is built, it does not appear on its own.

  • 05

    Defends at trial

    Cross-examinations, submissions and conclusions. Also plea bargaining when it is the best real outcome.

  • 06

    Appeals and oversees enforcement

    Appeal, cassation, suspension of the sentence, substitutions and criminal and prison enforcement.
