Obstruction of Justice

Defense in crimes of false testimony, cover-up, and obstruction of justice.

False Testimony: The Duty of Truth

The judicial system is based on truth. Lying to a Judge is a crime (Perjury/False Testimony). The Penal Code punishes the witness who substantially deviates from the truth. However, the accused has the constitutional right not to confess; the witness has the legal obligation to tell the truth.

We defend people accused of lying in court by proving they did so out of fear, memory error, or to avoid self-incrimination.

Cover-up (Encubrimiento)

Helping a criminal to hide, destroy evidence, or flee is a crime. But there is a key exception: Family Ties. The law does not punish you if you hide your spouse, parent, child, or sibling (Excusa Absolutoria). We use this powerful defense to archive cases against relatives.
