Arrest demands an immediate response. We provide in-person assistance at police stations, barracks and duty courts (Juzgados de Guardia). We review the police report (atestado), prevent self-incriminating statements made under duress, and activate Habeas Corpus proceedings in cases of unlawful detention.
We protect the assets of corporations and executives against accusations of money laundering, fraudulent insolvency, tax fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. We analyse financial traceability and block attempts to assign criminal liability in proceedings before the Audiencia Provincial of Málaga.
We intervene in property crimes, corporate fraud, document forgery and cybercrime (phishing, identity theft, unlawful access to computer systems). Our team dismantles the legal threshold of sufficient deception and analyses the chain of custody of digital evidence.
We take on the defence against accusations of cultivation, transport and distribution of narcotics. We challenge telephone intercepts, unwarranted home searches and breaks in the chain of custody. Experience in large-scale organised crime cases (macrocausas).
We handle hearings for protection orders and restraining orders (órdenes de alejamiento) before the Domestic Violence Courts (Juzgados de Violencia sobre la Mujer). We defend against accusations of sexual assault, abuse and harassment. We address the concurrent civil consequences (custody, maintenance and housing).
Technical defence against accusations of assault, threats, coercion and involuntary manslaughter in both domestic and non-domestic contexts. We assess the evidence, commission counter-expert reports from the Instituto de Medicina Legal and challenge disproportionate charges brought by the Public Prosecutor (Ministerio Fiscal).
We act with immediacy in fast-track trials (juicios rápidos) for road safety offences. We audit breathalyser evidence and the symptom records in the police report. We negotiate advantageous plea agreements (conformidades) to protect your driving licence and avoid a custodial sentence.
In road accidents resulting in serious injury or death, we establish the driver’s criminal liability. We coordinate biomechanical and medical expert reports to litigate against insurers, demanding maximum civil liability and compensation.
Property offences — burglary, robbery with violence, theft, handling stolen goods and unlawful occupation (usurpación) of property — are the most common cases before the courts in Málaga. We analyse aggravating factors, negotiate mitigating circumstances for damage repair and distinguish between minor offences (delito leve) and serious crimes to protect your future.
The defence does not end with sentencing. We process temporary release permits, progression to open regime (tercer grado), access to open conditions and applications for parole (libertad condicional) before the Prison Supervision Courts (Juzgados de Vigilancia Penitenciaria). We also handle the expungement of criminal records (cancelación de antecedentes penales) before the Central Register of Convicts.
An elite firm does not only intervene at trial; it builds the winning strategy from the very first moment by mastering every stage of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Ley de Enjuiciamiento Criminal):
Investigation Phase and Preliminary Proceedings
We intervene proactively in the judicial investigation to submit exculpatory evidence, commission expert reports and block applications for pre-trial detention (prisión provisional) or disproportionate bail bonds requested by the Public Prosecutor.
Intermediate Phase
We draft the technical defence briefs and, where the prosecution evidence is insufficient, we seek full or provisional dismissal (archivo de la causa) before subjecting our client to the ordeal of trial.
Oral Trial and Jury Court
We deploy an aggressive litigation strategy at the public hearing, based on cross-examination of witnesses, exclusion of unlawfully obtained evidence and the presentation of irrefutable expert reports. Proven experience before the Jury Court (Tribunal del Jurado).
Appeals and Supreme Court Cassation
If the verdict is unfavourable, we lodge an appeal (recurso de apelación) before the Provincial Court, a cassation appeal (recurso de casación) before the Supreme Court and, in exceptional cases, an amparo appeal before the Constitutional Court.
Assistance for detainees 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Immediate attendance at police stations and duty courts in Málaga city, Marbella, Fuengirola, Torremolinos and the entire Costa del Sol.
Criminal law is not exercised solely from the defence side. At Orozco y Asociados we act as private prosecutors (acusación particular) when you or your company have been the victim of a crime.
We file the criminal complaint (querella), present the burden of proof and demand the restitution of stolen assets, as well as full reparation through civil liability arising from the offence. We do not rely on the inertia of the Public Prosecutor; we lead the prosecution in cases of assault, fraud, cybercrime and coercion.
The foundation of our service is technical rigour and absolute discretion. As a criminal law firm in Málaga, we offer comprehensive coverage spanning from the local courts to the National Court (Audiencia Nacional).
Contact a criminal lawyer immediately. The law guarantees a detainee the right to appoint a solicitor, who must attend the police premises within a maximum of three hours. We provide urgent assistance to detainees 24 hours a day with immediate attendance at police stations and duty courts in Málaga, Marbella, Fuengirola and the entire Costa del Sol. Do not allow them to make a statement without prior legal advice.
Yes. Once the statutory period has elapsed since the sentence was served — between six months for minor offences and ten years for the most serious — you may apply for the expungement of your criminal record (cancelación de antecedentes penales) before the Central Register of Convicts. A clean certificate is essential for civil service examinations, professional licences and immigration procedures. We manage the entire process on your behalf.
A police report (denuncia) is the notification of criminal facts to the police or court, with no need for a lawyer. A querella is a formal procedural act filed through a lawyer and court representative (procurador), by which private prosecution is initiated and the opening of criminal proceedings is requested. The querella allows more active control of the procedure and is recommended in complex cases.
A conformidad (plea agreement) is an arrangement between the defence and the prosecution to accept a reduced sentence without a full oral trial. It is not a surrender: when well negotiated, it can significantly reduce the penalty. At Orozco y Asociados we assess each case to determine whether a plea agreement offers a more favourable outcome than trial, taking into account mitigating factors, reparation of harm and the client’s background. It is common in fast-track trials and minor offences.
Money laundering (blanqueo de capitales) consists of introducing into the legitimate economic circuit funds derived from criminal activity. The Criminal Code punishes it with imprisonment of six months to six years and a fine of between one and three times the value laundered. Where committed within a criminal organisation, penalties are increased to up to nine years. Even gross negligence gives rise to criminal liability. Our criminal lawyers analyse each financial transaction to build a solid defence.
Since the 2015 reform of the Criminal Code, what were formerly known as infractions (faltas) are now classified as minor offences (delitos leves): theft below €400, minor threats, minor coercion, less serious bodily harm. Although they are dealt with in fast-track proceedings with fines or community service, a conviction generates a criminal record that affects employment, civil service examinations and immigration status. Having a criminal lawyer makes it possible to negotiate favourable plea agreements or secure an acquittal.
A fast-track trial (juicio rápido) can be resolved within 24 to 72 hours. An abbreviated procedure before the Criminal Court (Juzgado de lo Penal) typically takes between six months and two years. Ordinary proceedings for serious crimes before the Provincial Court can last from one to four years, especially in large-scale cases. Timescales depend on the caseload at the Málaga Courts Complex (Ciudad de la Justicia de Málaga) and the complexity of the investigation.
Entrusting your representation to a professional exclusively dedicated to criminal jurisdiction is the only safe course of action. Contact Orozco y Asociados and request a technical assessment of your case.
