05 — Questions
What people ask us before they instruct us
For most minor offences it is not compulsory (it is where the fine can reach six months), but it is strongly advisable: the other side may bring one and the evidence is decided at a single hearing.
Yes, but it is removed six months after the sentence has been served if there has been no further offending. We explain how to apply for that.
One year from the events. If you are reported after that period, limitation can be raised.
Usually a fine (often of one to three months, in some cases up to six) or community service; in some cases a curfew order.
Yes. Many matters are settled with a guilty plea or with an agreement on civil damages on the day of the hearing itself.

Experts in criminal law
Having a lawyer at a minor offence hearing is not compulsory. Both the prosecution and the defence can attend on their own. Doing so, however, greatly improves the defence. Count on us.
After all, Escalera & Tuset has spent decades working on every kind of minor offence hearing, previously known as a juicio por faltas. Organic Law 1/2015, which made significant changes to the Spanish Criminal Code, split the infringements classified until then as faltas into three very different categories. Some stopped being treated as infringements at all. Others were defined as non-criminal infringements. And the rest were classified as minor offences.
Is that last one your situation? Do you think it should not be? Escalera & Tuset can help. We have a multidisciplinary team focused on criminal law and, within that team, smaller working units concentrating on different areas of criminal law, including minor offences. If you are looking for a minor offence lawyer who will study your case in depth, set out a professional strategy and stay with you through the whole process, you are in the right place.
Do you need legal representation for a minor offence?
Fines, community service or short custodial sentences, depending on the case.
Minor offences are punished with fines, with community service and, in some cases, even with short custodial sentences. It all depends on how serious the offence is and on the circumstances around it. Our aim is to analyse the evidence in detail and get the best result for you given the real facts of the case. We work hard and professionally for your wellbeing.
What kind of minor offence are you accused of? There are six different categories: minor offences against the person, against the inviolability of the home, against property, impersonation and usurpation of official functions, against public order and against the general interest. At Escalera & Tuset we are specialists in every kind of minor offence. We give you legal representation for minor offences of the highest quality.
There are also other things worth knowing when you face a minor offence hearing: that minor offences leave a criminal record for the person convicted until six months after the sentence has been served, or that minor offences become time-barred after one year. That information matters a great deal. Are you confused? Put yourself in our hands and let us take care of it. We know how to help effectively.
Escalera & Tuset has a long track record in the field of minor offences, and that record gives our firm the knowledge it takes to face every kind of case.
Whether you have been accused of a minor offence or are looking to bring a complaint against someone for a minor offence committed against you, we put all our knowledge and skill at your disposal to get the results you expect. We undoubtedly have the minor offence lawyer you need so much.

Get in touch right now so that we can work on your case as soon as possible. We will arrange a first meeting in person, free of charge.
