Criminal Lawyers Alicante: Comprehensive Legal Defense on the Costa Blanca

Alicante, with its tourism and real estate dynamism and large foreign resident population, presents high criminal litigiousness. From the courts of Benalúa in Alicante to the judicial districts of Elche, Benidorm, Torrevieja, Orihuela, and Dénia, we offer robust legal coverage for national and expatriate residents.

Property Crimes and Real Estate Scams

Unceasing real estate activity generates numerous criminal conflicts requiring specialized technical defense:

  • Sale and Purchase Scams: Defense of developers and individuals against accusations of double sale, concealment of urban charges, or sale of "phantom" off-plan homes.
  • Misappropriation: Defense of real estate agents (APIs) and property administrators accused of diverting funds from clients or communities of owners.
  • Usurpation and Trespassing: We act quickly to recover possession of illegally occupied homes, using the precautionary criminal route.

Criminal Immigration and International Traffic

We attend to the specific needs of the Costa Blanca's international community:

  • Execution of Foreign Sentences: Advice on compliance with sentences imposed abroad or transfers of convicted persons.
  • Speedy Trials for Breathalyzer: Defense of resident drivers or tourists accused of road safety crimes, seeking the most favorable plea agreement (conformidad) to save the driving license as much as possible.
  • Drug Trafficking: Defense in cases of drug seizures in tourist areas, differentiating self-consumption from trafficking and fighting accusations of belonging to a criminal group.
