24-hour duty solicitor in Barcelona

We are present at the police interview from the outset. Before you say anything we explain what you are suspected of, what the police report contains and the consequences of each option, including staying silent. Nobody should walk into that room without having spoken to their lawyer first. Speak to a criminal lawyer

We attend the hearing before the investigating judge and prepare your appearance. Interim measures are decided at this stage, and arriving with the documents and arguments ready changes the outcome. Speak to a criminal lawyer

We prepare with you what you will say and how far it goes. You have the right to remain silent, not to incriminate yourself, and to speak only before the judge. Which of those routes suits your case is a decision that is never improvised. Speak to a criminal lawyer

If custody runs beyond the legal limit, your rights are not respected, or the lawfulness of the arrest is in doubt, we file for habeas corpus so that a judge reviews the situation immediately. Speak to a criminal lawyer

We apply for release and, where appropriate, for less restrictive measures instead of custody: periodic reporting to the court, surrender of your passport, or bail. Speak to a criminal lawyer

This is the hearing that decides whether you are held in custody while the case is investigated. We prepare evidence of your ties to the area, your work and family situation, and everything showing there is no risk of flight or of evidence being destroyed. Speak to a criminal lawyer

An arrest does not wait for office hours. We take calls at any time, including weekends and public holidays, in Barcelona and the surrounding area. Speak to a criminal lawyer

We find out which station they are being held at, check that their rights have been read to them, and attend in person. Call us even if you do not yet know what they are accused of. Speak to a criminal lawyer

A summons is not a conviction, but it is the moment to prepare. We review the police file before the hearing and agree the approach to your statement with you. Speak to a criminal lawyer
