My commitment

Honesty from day one

I tell you what I see in your case, the good and the bad, and what you can realistically expect, even if it is not what you want to hear.

Thorough preparation

I prepare every defence in detail and tailored to your case. No two cases are alike, and I never treat them as if they were.

Clear, constant communication

You always deal with me. I tell you about every development and what it means for you, without jargon and without you having to ask.

About me

Samuel Tejada Aguirre

Criminal defence lawyer, member of the Málaga Bar Association (Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de Málaga).

Before becoming a lawyer, I spent twenty-two years in public service, with the Ministries of Defence and the Interior. In 2020 I changed course and began practising criminal law in Málaga and on the Costa del Sol.

My work focuses mainly on drug offences, organised crime and money laundering. These are long, technical cases that demand persistence and close attention to detail.

I know what criminal proceedings mean for a person and for their family. That is why I keep things simple. I explain where your case stands, what options you have and what I will do at each stage, and I let you know about every development. No promises I cannot keep, and you are never left in the dark.

When a case calls for another specialism, I work with a trusted network of fellow lawyers.

Practice areas

How I can defend you

Criminal defence during investigation, trial and appeal. These are the areas I work in every day.

01

Immediate assistance after arrest

If you or a family member has been arrested, contact me before any statement is made. I attend police stations, Guardia Civil stations and the duty court. That first statement shapes the whole case.

02

Drug trafficking and organised crime

Drug offences in all their forms, from possession with intent to supply to operations by national and international organisations. These cases involve phone taps, surveillance, searches and expert reports, and any of that evidence may hold the arguments for your defence.

03

Money laundering and related offences

Money laundering, handling stolen goods, smuggling and forgery linked to drug trafficking cases. I also defend relatives who are not under investigation but whose assets have been frozen or confiscated.

04

Homicide, assault and sexual offences

Defence in offences against life, physical integrity and sexual freedom. These cases often involve a jury or media attention, where early strategy and discretion matter as much as legal skill.

05

Extradition, EAW and prisoner transfer

If another country is seeking you or a relative, I defend you before the National High Court in extradition or European Arrest Warrant cases. I also handle transfers to serve a sentence at home.

How I work

Three steps, no surprises

  1. Tell me what happened

    Message me on WhatsApp, call me or use the form. A short summary is enough for me to know whether I can help and how urgent it is.

  2. I review your case and tell you where you stand

    We meet, I look at any documents you have and I tell you frankly where you stand and what real options you have.

  3. A clear strategy from day one

    If you decide to go ahead, I explain the defence plan and what will happen at each stage. And I keep you updated until the end.
