The importance of solid and professional criminal defense

Protection of your rights from the first moment

Everyone has the right to the presumption of innocence and effective defense. Having a criminal lawyer from the start of the process ensures that your rights are respected at every stage.

Every victim or injured person of a crime has the right to fair and complete reparation for the damages suffered, as well as the right to judicial tutelage as a private prosecution. We guarantee that your case is managed with the highest professionalism and efficiency.

Immediate assistance at police stations and courts

We provide urgent legal assistance 24 hours a day at police stations and courts, both for detained persons and those summoned to testify.

Importance of Criminal Defense

Being involved in a criminal procedure is one of the most delicate situations a person can face. Therefore, we offer complete, strategic and confidential criminal defense, intervening from the first police proceedings to the higher courts. Our commitment is to defend your innocence or, where appropriate, seek the best legal solution to your situation.

Areas of action in Criminal Law

Trials for minor offenses

Minor offenses replaced the old misdemeanors and are processed quickly before the Investigation Court. We defend cases of minor injuries, threats, coercion, theft or damages, always seeking acquittal or reduction of the penalty.

Fast-track trials and traffic safety offenses

Fast-track trials apply in cases of drunk driving, reckless driving, gender violence, against public health, against property, among others. Our team prepares your defense in record time, guaranteeing the best strategy before the duty court.

Abbreviated procedure: less serious offenses

The abbreviated procedure is used for most offenses punishable by sentences of less than 9 years in prison (for example, fraud, robbery, injuries or drug trafficking). At this stage, a lawyer with experience in investigation phase, oral trial and appeals is essential.

Summary procedure: serious offenses

This procedure is reserved for offenses of special gravity (such as homicides, sexual assaults or corruption). We work with a technical, exhaustive and human approach, coordinating experts, investigators and witnesses to strengthen the defense.

Jury Court

Certain offenses, such as homicide or bribery, are tried by a Jury Court. Our experience allows us to prepare a clear, persuasive and adapted defense for a popular jury, ensuring that the client is heard and understood.

Provincial Court, National Court and Supreme Court

We act before Provincial Courts in criminal trials and appeals. We defend cases of special complexity before the National Court. We file cassation or extraordinary review appeals before the Supreme Court. We seek to correct judicial errors and protect the right to effective judicial protection.
