Manuela Muñoz, lawyer in Barcelona
Registered with the Bar of Barcelona under number 37992, with her own office on Calle Balmes since 2012 and a postgraduate qualification in forensic science. She leads Diario de un Abogado and personally handles the criminal and family cases.
I am Manuela Muñoz Sánchez, a lawyer registered with the Bar of Barcelona (ICAB) under number 37992.
As the head of Diario de un Abogado, I bring a solid track record and real experience of resolving complex cases. I have practised independently from my own office since 2012, offering legal advice that is close, firm and focused on protecting the client.
Academically, my continuing legal training is complemented by a postgraduate degree in forensic science (2021), a qualification that lets me bring greater technical rigour to the analysis of evidence and complex investigations.
My work is focused on the following areas:
- Criminal law: extensive experience in this jurisdiction, backed by my postgraduate studies in forensic science and continuing training in prison law and the criminal response to new forms of crime.
- Family and matrimonial law: specialist in family proceedings and in representing fathers in family disputes, with specific training in the enforcement of orders made in these cases.
- Employment and civil law: end-to-end resolution of disputes and extensive demonstrable experience in both fields.

What advice would you give someone you love facing a serious legal problem?
You would probably say: “Find a good lawyer to get you out of this”. My advice to you is different: do not settle for someone who tells you what you want to hear — find someone who explains clearly where you actually stand.
