Assault Cases in Spain

This service is essential for individuals arrested in Spain on assault charges, including expatriates, tourists, and residents. It's also vital for victims of assault seeking justice and legal recourse. Our service caters to those needing clear guidance through the complexities of the Spanish legal system.

The procedure begins when the accused - or a family member - contacts Advocate Abroad to engage a criminal defence lawyer.  The lawyer will:

• attend the police station where you/your family member has been detained
• provide vital support and legal advice to the accused, and thereby
• ensure that their legal rights are optimally protected from the very beginning
• Continuous support and representation through to the end of the process.

If and when charges have been filed, your lawyer will seek to:

• review the charges and, following consultation with you,
• seek to negotiate with the public prosecutor to reduce any potential penalty, or
• review the evidence against the accused and seek to present this to the Court in the most advantageous light possible.

• Expertise in Spanish Law: Our lawyers are well-versed in the nuances of Spanish criminal law
• Bilingual Legal Support: Offering services in both English and Spanish to bridge any language barriers.
• Personalized Strategy: Each case is approached with a tailor-made strategy, considering your specific circumstances.
