Criminal Lawyers Madrid: Specialist Criminal Defense

Madrid is not only the political capital of the country; it is the absolute epicenter of judicial activity in Spain. As the seat of the High Courts (Supreme Court, National Court, Constitutional Court), Madrid concentrates the most technically complex and high-profile criminal proceedings. At Alonso Sala, our main headquarters acts as the nerve center from which we coordinate high-profile defenses, offering immediate and expert coverage in this demanding legal environment.

Intervention before the National Court and Supreme Court

The National Court (Audiencia Nacional), located in Madrid, is the body competent to judge transnational organized crime, large-scale drug trafficking, and major economic frauds affecting the national economy. Defense in this court requires rigorous and dedicated specialization in criminal law.

• Economic Crimes and Corruption: We defend executives, politicians, and businesspeople in major economic-criminal cases instructed by the Central Courts of Instruction (public corruption schemes, bribery networks, illegal financing, massive crypto-scams or large-scale police investigations). We know the specific procedural dynamics of these gigantic causes (with millions of pages and dozens of parties), where technological information management and control of procedural timing are vital.
• Cassation Appeals: Many cases are not won in the first instance, but in the appeal. Our criminal cassation team in Madrid is exclusively dedicated to the study and drafting of appeals before the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court. It is a work of "legal craftsmanship," where technique must be impeccable to pass the High Court's strict admission filters.
• Constitutional Amparo: We exhaust the national pathway by filing appeals for legal protection (amparo) before the Constitutional Court when fundamental rights have been violated, an indispensable prerequisite for approaching the European Court of Human Rights.

Plaza de Castilla and Daily Criminal Defense

Beyond major cases, Madrid handles an immense volume of common crimes in the Courts of Instruction of Plaza de Castilla. Our firm provides rigorous and prompt assistance in:

• Detainee Assistance: We attend as promptly as possible in major police stations (Moratalaz Police Complex, Leganitos Station, Barajas Airport) and in the Duty Court. The first 24 hours after an arrest often determine the success or failure of the case.
• Gender Violence: Madrid has specialized courts (Courts of Violence against Women in Julián Camarillo) that are absolutely saturated. We offer rigorous technical defense to avoid unjustified restraining orders or disproportionate civil measures in speedy trials resolved in hours.
• Property Crimes: Robberies with force, organized thefts, scams, and ram-raiding, typologies very frequent in the industrial periphery and commercial areas of the capital.

Entrusting your defense in Madrid to Alonso Sala means counting on a team that knows the practice of the capital's courts and the specific "courtroom culture" of Madrid, combining rigorous technical work with the attention to detail of a boutique firm.
