Frequently asked questions

How do I request urgent assistance?expand_more
Call the office or email us. Your contact reaches the team directly and we assist you with the greatest diligence possible. If the initial detainee assistance is provided by a Bar Association duty lawyer, we formally take over the defense as soon as we are contacted.
What information do you need to activate?expand_more
Name of the detainee, police station or court where they are held, approximate time of detention and known reason. With that data we can contact the facility and prepare the assistance.
What happens if no private lawyer is located?expand_more
Detainee assistance is mandatory. If no private lawyer is designated within the deadline, the Bar Association appoints a duty lawyer. That is why contacting us as early as possible matters: so we take over your defense from the very first moment.
Can you attend any Madrid police station?expand_more
Yes. We cover the main police stations and courts in the capital and, depending on urgency and complexity, we assess travel to judicial districts in the metropolitan area or coordinate with a local collaborator.
Can I make a statement to the police without a lawyer?expand_more
You have the right not to testify and to wait for your lawyer's presence. An improvised statement can compromise your defense irreversibly. Wait for legal assistance.

Honest, technical criminal defense

Criminal law only. We will explain the real situation without jargon, the possible scenarios and the optimal strategy. No empty promises.
