Lawyer for homicide,
assault and sexual offences
Offences against life, physical integrity and sexual freedom. Defence in Málaga and the Costa del Sol.
These are the hardest cases, for those who suffer them and for those who face them. I handle them with discretion, with a strategy from day one and with constant updates for you and your family.
How I help
What I can do for you
In these proceedings the account is judged as much as the facts. My job is to make sure yours is well built from the first statement, and that no evidence is accepted without being checked.
- Assistance from the moment of arrest and at the first statement
- Defence during the investigation phase, with expert evidence and witnesses
- Preparation for jury trial in homicide cases, which follows its own rules
- Analysis of the defences and mitigating factors that change the charge and the sentence
- Discretion with the press, for you and for your family
- Appeals, including cassation appeals to the Supreme Court
Common situations
Tell me which one is yours
What to do in each case, before we speak.
- Have you just been arrested?
- Do not make a statement until I arrive. In these cases the first statement is analysed word by word. Contact me yourself or ask a relative to.
- Was there a fight, and is someone injured?
- A fight ends in injuries, and sometimes in something more serious. Who started it, how and with what changes the charge. Tell me as soon as you can.
- Have you been accused of sexual assault?
- These cases often come down to two accounts and little else. They are defended with rigour and without noise, from the first statement to the trial.
- Are you being investigated over a death?
- Homicide, murder or negligence. The difference lies in the details and in intent, and the sentence changes completely. It has to be worked on from the start.
- Has your case been in the press?
- Do not speak to the media or reply on social media. The defence is made in court. I make sure that what is said outside does not harm you inside.
Is your situation different? Tell me what happened and I will tell you honestly whether I can help.
How I defend you
What your defence turns on
In these cases the evidence is built up over months. Every piece can be examined, and any one of them may hold the argument that changes the outcome.
-
The first statement
It is the one the prosecution will use against you if anything changes later. It must be prepared, and given with a lawyer.
-
Expert evidence
Forensic reports, post-mortems, DNA and medical reports on injuries. Each report can be tested against another expert, and it often should be.
-
The witnesses
Who saw what, from where and in what conditions. A testimony changes depending on how the witness is questioned at trial.
-
Intent
To kill, to injure, or an accident. The charge depends on what can be proved about what you meant to do, and the sentence turns on it.
-
The circumstances
Self-defence, fear, loss of control, intoxication or confession. Defences and mitigating factors that reduce the sentence or remove it, if they are proved.
-
The jury
In homicide cases, nine citizens with no legal training decide. They are addressed differently, and the trial is prepared differently.
