Criminal Law

A criminal case starts long before any courtroom — usually with a phone call nobody expected. What is said in the first hour matters for years.

Criminal defence lawyers in Fuerteventura

The practice

The first hour decides more than the trial

We defend at every stage of criminal proceedings — the investigation, the trial, the appeal — with particular depth in economic and corporate matters, where cases are won in the documents long before anyone speaks. We also act for victims, as private prosecution beside the public one, and we argue the urgent measures — bail, conditions, precautionary orders — where hours matter.

One rule stands above the rest: never make a first statement without your own lawyer. Silence is a right, preparation is a strategy, and the duty lawyer of the moment is not the same as counsel who knows your file. Everything that follows — here and in the room — is confidential, rigorous and free of theatre.

Typical files

What crosses this desk

No two cases are alike, but most arrive through one of these doors — and every one of them rewards arriving early.

The summonsA citation to testify — as suspect or as witness — is not routine paperwork. How you attend, and with whom, is the first strategic decision of the case.
The economic fileFraud, misappropriation, corporate and tax offences: paper cases, won or lost in the documents long before the hearing.
The roadDriving offences run on fast-track procedures where a quick plea deal may — or may not — be your best exit. That gets decided with numbers, not nerves.
The victim's sideAs private prosecution we pursue the case beside the public prosecutor, with your interests — including compensation — at the centre.
The urgent measureDetentions, precautionary measures, bail: argued at the start, revisable later — and decisive for how the whole case is lived.
The aftermathAppeals, sentence execution, record cancellation. The case is not over when the hearing ends — and neither is our work.

The route

How a case unfolds

STEP 01

The statement

Prepared, never improvised. What is said — or rightly not said — in the first hour shapes the whole case.

STEP 02

The investigation

Evidence built or challenged piece by piece, deadlines watched, measures argued. The quiet phase that decides the loud one.

STEP 03

The trial

Strategy fixed before the room, witnesses prepared, every exhibit known. Trials are performed; they are won earlier.

STEP 04

The after

Appeal where there are grounds, execution managed, and the record cancelled when the law allows it.

Criminal Law questions

Before you ask

I have been called to make a statement. Should I worry?

You should prepare. Bring the citation before you attend — we establish what the case is about, what your position is and whether speaking or silence serves you better. Nobody should learn the file's contents while sitting in front of it.

Can I choose my own lawyer instead of the duty one?

Yes, at any moment — including mid-case. The duty lawyer guarantees the minimum; your own counsel builds a defence. The earlier the switch, the more there is left to shape.

What are precautionary measures?

Decisions taken while the case runs: bail, passport retention, distance orders, in the hardest cases custody. They are argued at the very start and can be revisited — which is why the first hearings matter so much.

Do you act for victims as well?

Yes. As private prosecution we sit beside the public prosecutor with your voice in the case — pushing the investigation, protecting you through it and pursuing the compensation the harm deserves.

Will this stay on my record forever?

No. Once the sentence is served and the legal terms elapse, the record can be cancelled — but it does not always happen by itself. We file for it, so the case truly ends.

Prepared beats improvised. Every time.

If the case is urgent, call the office. If it has not started yet — that is the best possible moment to talk to a lawyer.
