05 — Questions

What people ask us before they instruct us

Do not make a statement without a lawyer. Call us: we attend people in custody at the police station and at the duty court. What is said in those first hours shapes the whole procedure.

It depends on the type of matter and how complex it is. After the first consultation, which is free, we give you a written quote, broken down by stage, before we start.

Yes. We represent the victim or the injured party from the complaint or private prosecution through to judgment and the enforcement of civil damages.

Yes. We conduct proceedings before courts across Spain and before the Audiencia Nacional.

Minor offences, formerly known as faltas, are heard in a fast-track procedure and, in most cases, without a lawyer being compulsory; the rest can carry a prison sentence and call for a defence from the investigation stage onwards. In both cases it is worth taking advice before your first appearance.

More about criminal law

Criminal law solicitors

Do you need a lawyer who specialises in criminal law? You are in the right place. At our firm you will find a team of outstanding criminal defence lawyers: professionals with extensive experience in resolving matters in this field. A minor offence trial? Forgery? Offences against the person? Offences against reputation? Drug offences? Road traffic offences? In every one of those cases we are the right fit. We can help you in the most efficient way possible.

Finding good specialist criminal lawyers is not easy, because being one takes two things that have to come together at the same time. On the one hand, a deep knowledge of criminal law that makes it possible to diagnose the situation and put forward creative professional solutions in the shortest time possible. On the other, a personal approach that shows genuine concern for your problems and a real commitment to resolving them. Sadly, that second part is not as common as it should be.

Good criminal lawyers are not simply the ones who know criminal law inside out.

Far from what people tend to think, criminal law also demands a high degree of creativity when it comes to finding and putting forward the best solutions. It takes joined-up analytical thinking that allows for innovation in resolving certain problems. With Escalera & Tuset you get that and a great deal more. Our criminal law specialists are committed lawyers who love their work. We give you everything we have.

Are you looking for help with a business crime matter? Perhaps international criminal law? Or criminal copyright law? Either way, with the specialist lawyers at Escalera & Tuset you are in good hands. Get in touch right now and we will arrange a first consultation, free and with no obligation whatsoever. We will really listen, study your case and give you a quote with no strings attached. We are confident you will stay with us.

Specialists in criminal law

At Escalera & Tuset, however, we have always worked around that second premise. Our firm was founded with the firm intention of filling that gap. We wanted to give clients the kind of criminal defence lawyer who is qualified and professional and who, at the same time, knows how to be human and to empathise with each and every one of them. Today, many years after setting out with that intention, we can say with pride that we have managed it. More than that, we can confirm that it is the unmistakable key to our success.

Our department specialising in Spanish criminal law puts at your disposal all the knowledge and all the experience built up over years and years of work. Specifically, we handle every kind of service connected with criminal law and the criminal courts, from personal advice on criminal matters to defence and prosecution in connection with them. And, in every case, as efficiently as possible. We offer creative, practical and fast solutions.

In that way we cover everything connected with this field of law: prosecuting any offence; defence in criminal trials, defence in jury trials, defence in youth court proceedings, representation before the courts, assistance to people in police custody, assistance to people in custody at court, applications for parole, applications for open prison conditions, applications for bail and many other services besides. Whatever you need in criminal law, we will be glad to provide it.
