Fraud, Theft, Forgery etc in Spain

This service helps people who are accused of crimes like theft or fraud, for example shoplifting, card fraud, insurance fraud or fraud on the internet. It is aimed especially at foreigners who do not know the local legal system or language.

Why it can help

• An English-speaking lawyer explains the situation clearly, so you know where you stand and what your choices are.
• Foreigners often struggle during the police stage, before any court case. A lawyer can be there from the start to protect your rights.
• Good help from a lawyer can change how a case ends, for example with a lighter penalty or the case being dropped. No result can be promised.

What happens

• First meeting: the lawyer learns what happened and what you are accused of.
• Case review: the lawyer looks for the strong and weak points of the case.
• Gathering evidence: documents, statements from witnesses and other useful information.
• Defence plan: a plan for how to answer the accusation, based on the evidence.
• In court: the lawyer defends you, questions the evidence against you and puts forward evidence in your favour.
• Updates: you are kept informed and take part in the decisions.
