Criminal Defense Lawyer at the Plaza de Castilla Courthouse

The Plaza de Castilla Courthouse (Poeta Joan Maragall 66, 28020 Madrid) hosts most of the capital's criminal activity: the Investigative Courts, Criminal Courts and Prison Surveillance Courts. Knowing its procedural dynamic, judges and "courtroom culture" is decisive for case outcomes. The Gender Violence Courts of Madrid have their seat in Julián Camarillo, and the Criminal Chamber of the Audiencia Nacional and the Central Investigative Courts are located at García Gutiérrez 1.

Detainee Assistance at the On-Duty Court

Every detainee in central Madrid ends up at the Plaza de Castilla on-duty court. The first decisions are determining:

  • Detainee assistance: We appear at Plaza de Castilla with the greatest diligence possible once notified, preparing the statement —or deciding on silence— before judicial appearance. If the initial assistance is provided by a Madrid Bar Association duty lawyer, we formally take over the defense as soon as we are contacted.
  • Fast trials: A very significant share of detentions for theft, minor injuries, DUI or breach are handled via fast trial. A plea reached under Art. 801 LECrim allows for a one-third sentence reduction.
  • Precautionary measures: We oppose pretrial detention requests, disproportionate bail or passport retention by establishing local roots and absence of flight risk.

Plaza de Castilla Investigative Courts

The Investigative Courts of Madrid allocate cases by rotation. Each judge has its own criteria on phone interceptions, searches, pretrial detention or admission of evidence. As a firm based near the complex, we know each holder's procedural preferences across recurring categories: property crimes, fights in nightlife districts, road safety, and cybercrimes.

Gender Violence Courts (Julián Camarillo)

The Madrid Gender Violence Courts operate from the Julián Camarillo facility in coordination with Plaza de Castilla. They are saturated and resolve precautionary measures within hours. Our defense immediately provides WhatsApp chats, geolocation, witnesses and psychological expert evidence to avoid automatic restraining orders.

National Court and Central Courts

The Plaza de Castilla complex also houses the Central Investigative Courts and the Criminal Chamber of the National Court. We undertake defense in macro-cases for corruption, money laundering and organized drug trafficking, with the specific logistics required by cases with millions of pages.

Our office at Velázquez 27 is 12 minutes by car or 20 minutes by public transport. Call +34 91 078 65 74 for urgent assistance.
