Criminal defence law firm in Alicante
Moreno Bernal Criminal Defence Lawyers represents defendants — suspects, detainees and accused persons — and private prosecutors who are victims of crime.
A criminal law boutique, not a generalist firm.
Criminal proceedings are unlike any other legal matter. They can affect your freedom, criminal record, employment, reputation, assets, driving licence, child custody or family stability.
That is why the firm works exclusively in Criminal Law. Our involvement is not treated as an isolated task but as a complex strategy: from the first call or court statement through the investigation, oral trial, appeals and sentence enforcement.
José Moreno Bernal, registered No. 8446 with the Alicante Bar Association, personally leads every case. The firm acts on both sides of the process: defending suspects, detainees and accused persons, and acting as private prosecutor for crime victims. Knowing both positions changes how a case is prepared, because it allows you to anticipate exactly what the opposing party will do.
Why choose a specialist criminal law firm like Moreno Bernal Criminal Defence Lawyers.
- 01
Exclusive specialisation
Full dedication to Criminal Law. We do not handle civil, employment or administrative matters: all the firm's attention, training and time are focused on criminal jurisdiction.
- 02
Direct attention from the lead lawyer
The lawyer who takes the first call is the same one who studies the case, signs the briefs and appears at the hearing. No chain of intermediaries.
- 03
Strategy before reaction
Every case requires its own decision: to declare or remain silent, plea agreement or trial, substance or form. That decision is made after studying the case, never out of inertia.
- 04
Working on the evidence
We analyse police reports, statements, forensic reports, expert evidence, chain of custody, geolocations, cameras and messaging. The defence is won in the detail.
- 05
Clear information
We explain what is happening, what deadlines are running and what realistic scenarios exist, without promises of outcome and without jargon.
- 06
Absolute confidentiality
Strict professional secrecy over everything communicated to us, from the first call and regardless of whether the case is ultimately taken on or not.
- 07
Representation throughout Spain
Based in Alicante, appearing before any court, Provincial Court, High Court of Justice or Supreme Court nationwide.
- 08
Defence and prosecution
For suspects, defendants, victims and persons harmed by crime. Knowing both procedural positions allows us to anticipate the opposing party's strategy.
- 09
Criminal emergencies
Arrests, duty court hearings and precautionary measures (pre-trial detention, protection orders, etc.), with immediate attention 24 hours a day.
