Personal oversight of every criminal case
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.
