Criminal Defense Lawyer in Alicante

The Ciudad de la Justicia de Alicante (Benalúa neighborhood) houses the Investigating Courts, Criminal Courts and the Audiencia Provincial de Alicante (with sections also in Elche). It is one of the most active forums in southern Valencia, particularly in public-health offenses linked to the port and to seaborne drug entry.

From our Madrid base, we assist clients in Alicante in economic crime, drug trafficking, sexual offenses, road safety and property crimes. We also cover the judicial districts of Elche, Orihuela, Denia, Villajoyosa, Benidorm and the rest of the province.

Alicante province hosts one of the largest expat communities in Spain (British, Dutch, German, Scandinavian). Arrests of foreign nationals for common offenses (DUI, theft, assault) and reciprocal complaints in tourist contexts are frequent.

Our team works fluently in English and Spanish. All legal assistance — from the first appearance at the police station to the oral trial — can be conducted in English if the client prefers. See also our dedicated page English Criminal Defence Lawyer.

From our regular practice before the Alicante courts:

• Drug trafficking: hashish and cocaine by sea, organized crime networks.
• Economic crime: real-estate fraud, money laundering in tourist and hospitality businesses.
• Road safety: DUI and unlicensed driving in tourist zones.
• Sexual offenses in tourist contexts, with both defense of the accused and victim support.
• Property crimes: burglary in vacation homes and theft.
