Criminal Defense Lawyer at the Getafe Courthouse

The Getafe judicial district (Avenida Juan Carlos I, s/n, 28905 Getafe) comprises the municipality of Getafe alone (Pinto and Valdemoro belong to other judicial districts). With its First Instance and Investigative Courts, Criminal Courts and a Gender Violence Court, it is one of the southern-metropolitan districts with the highest procedural volume.

Detainee Assistance at the Police Station

The Getafe National Police Station and Civil Guard barracks distribute detentions. We attend personally to prepare the statement, evaluate whether to invoke the right to remain silent and shield the chain of custody of evidence.

Criminal Typologies in Getafe

  • Gender violence: The Getafe GVC holds protection-order hearings on very short notice. We defend both reported and reporting parties with strategy tailored to the specific court.
  • DUI: Levels detected on A-4, M-50 and M-45 checks generate massive proceedings. Breathalyzer challenge, chain-of-custody questioning and addiction mitigation are our usual lines.
  • Theft and robbery: Shopping centers (Bulevar, Nassica) and industrial estates are habitual hotspots for repeat-offender professional thefts, with the multirecidivism reform of LO 1/2026 aggravating the criminal response.
  • Drug trafficking: Retail operations in Getafe Norte and Sector III neighborhoods, with defense supported by toxicological expert evidence.
  • Workplace safety: Industrial-park accidents with severe injuries or fatalities, investigated in Getafe.

Coordination with the Provincial Court

Appeals against Getafe Criminal Court rulings are handled by the Madrid Provincial Court (General Castaños street). We maintain continuous procedural follow-up between instances to ensure argumental coherence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you assist me as a detainee before I go before the Getafe courts?
Yes. We attend the police station before any statement is made and then appear before the duty investigating court of the Getafe judicial district, with counsel travelling from our Madrid base.
Which offence types are seen at the Getafe courts?
The most recurrent are violence against women, drink-driving and other road-safety offences, theft and robbery, drug trafficking, and workplace accident cases arising from the surrounding industrial estates.
Is the firm based in Getafe?
No. Our single base is at Calle Velázquez 27, Madrid. We keep no branch in Getafe: counsel attends whichever court is required for each step, and the first consultation is by appointment, including by video call.
Where are serious cases investigated in Getafe tried?
Proceedings that exceed the jurisdiction of the Getafe criminal courts are heard before the Provincial Court of Madrid. We conduct the defence at the investigation, trial and appeal stages alike.
