Criminal Law

Should anyone find themselves being detained by Spanish police, there is frankly no substitute to having an English-speaking criminal lawyer in Spain assist and represent you.

Being arrested in any country is a stressful experience, however in a foreign country where you may not understand what is being said to you, it is more difficult still.

An experienced English-speaking criminal lawyer in Spain will help anyone who has been arrested overcome language barriers and ensure clear communication during legal proceedings. They can explain the Spanish legal process, keeping you and your family informed throughout. 

An English-speaking lawyer can also better understand your situation, providing tailored advice and potentially negotiating with prosecutors to reduce penalties.
