Driving under the influence of alcohol constitutes a criminal offense against road safety strictly defined in the Penal Code. Facing an arrest or summons for this reason requires technical intervention from an expert from the very first moment. At Orozco y Asociados, we act as your DUI defense attorney in Málaga to ensure a solid criminal defense, structured to minimize the legal consequences and protect your rights from the moment of the police checkpoint.
Your response time determines the verdict.
The law establishes objective thresholds that admit no interpretation. Exceeding 0.60 milligrams per liter of exhaled air or 1.2 grams of alcohol per liter of blood while operating a motor vehicle automatically constitutes a DUI criminal offense.
Our legal team conducts a meticulous audit of the police report. We review the legal margin of error of the breathalyzer and the calibration certificates of the device used by the officers, in order to build a defense capable of challenging the validity of the test when procedural guarantees have not been respected.
The duration of these proceedings is extremely short. The expedited trial for DUI offenses in Málaga is typically held within the days immediately following the arrest. It is essential to have specialist attorneys who are well-versed in the preliminary investigation phase.
If the police report is irrefutable, the law allows for a plea agreement with the Public Prosecutor’s Office. If the defendant acknowledges the facts, an automatic one-third reduction of the sentence is obtained. Our primary objective is to evaluate the viability of acquittal versus a plea agreement, choosing the best solution for our clients.
The legal consequences of a conviction drastically affect your personal and professional life. The Penal Code punishes this offense with alternative sanctions:
Regardless of the principal penalty, the conviction also entails the mandatory revocation of the driver’s license for one to four years, as well as a permanent criminal record.
Protecting your record demands elite professionals. We analyze your police report with no obligation whatsoever.
Refusing to take the test constitutes an independent criminal offense of disobedience to authority, punishable with even greater penalties. Our team’s experience in expedited trials in Málaga enables us to challenge the external symptoms described by the officers (slurred speech, unsteady gait) when these are not supported by objective evidence. You will be in good hands.
At Orozco y Asociados, we cover the city of Málaga, Vélez-Málaga, and the entire province. Our broad reach allows us to handle scenarios involving multiple concurrent offenses.
We have specialists in traffic accidents, civil liability claims, and we provide defense in family law or domestic violence matters should the incident escalate into broader conflicts. Take control of your criminal situation with us.
