Assaults within the family unit require immediate and technical legal intervention. As your domestic violence attorney in Málaga, at Orozco y Asociados we deploy the mechanisms of the Criminal Code to protect the physical integrity of victims of violence or to provide technical defense for the accused. Domestic violence offenses require strict legal counsel from the very first moment, preventing procedural errors that could compromise your safety or your freedom.
Criminal law classifies assaults within the home into two distinct categories. Gender-based violence applies exclusively when the perpetrator is a man and the victim is a woman with whom an emotional or romantic relationship has existed.
By contrast, domestic violence cases encompass assaults, injuries, or abuse committed against any member of the family unit. This includes assaults against children, siblings, parents, or by a woman against a man. Our specialist attorney in violence cases analyzes the personal circumstances to determine the exact type of offense and the competent jurisdiction.
In a situation of abuse, filing a complaint activates the judicial protection protocol. Our team of attorneys assists you at the police station to file the corresponding complaint accurately.
Following the filing of complaints, the application for a protection order, and the court hearing, the judge may issue comprehensive protective measures within 72 hours. These criminal measures include the restraining order, a no-contact order, and, in extreme cases, pre-trial detention for the suspect. Acting quickly is essential — having specialist attorneys who enforce these guarantees is critical.
Domestic violence has a direct impact on family law proceedings. Alongside the criminal process, the court approves urgent civil measures.
