Sexual Offences in Spain

• This service is designed for individuals who have been arrested in Spain on suspicion of committing sexual offences. 
• Anyone who has been charged with sexual offences in Spain would benefit from this service, as often being serious criminal charges they can carry significant penalties, including prison time, fines, and a lasting criminal record. 
• These individuals are often in a state of shock, fear, and confusion regarding their legal rights and the Spanish judicial process. 
• They may be experiencing immense stress due to the stigma attached to the accusation and the potential social and professional consequences. 
• Our service aims to provide legal defence, support, and guidance through the complexities of the criminal justice system in Spain, ensuring that the rights of the accused are protected and that they have a fair trial.

1. Upon taking on a case, the legal procedure begins with a discussion to understand the specifics of the charge - this may take place at our offices or indeed in the police station, if an arrest has taken place. 
2. This is followed by an investigation phase, where evidence is reviewed, and a defence strategy is developed. 
3. The accused will be represented throughout all stages of the legal process, which typically includes preliminary hearings, pre-trial negotiations, and the trial itself. If necessary, appeals against any court decisions can also be managed. 
4. Throughout the procedure, the defence will ensure the accused's rights are upheld, such as the right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.

• The benefits of utilising this service include professional legal representation - in the client's own language - which can result in a more favourable outcome than if the accused were to face the Spanish legal system alone. 
• A dedicated lawyer can navigate the complexities of the law, potentially reducing charges or arguing for a dismissal based on insufficient evidence or procedural errors. 
• The client also benefits from having someone to manage the stress of the legal proceedings, communicate with authorities, and offer support during a difficult time. 
• Ultimately, the intrinsic benefit lies in striving for a just resolution and minimising the negative impact of the accusation on the client's life.
