Victim Representation in Spain

Who it is for

In some countries, a victim of a crime has the right to have their own lawyer at the trial of the person accused. This service is for people who were victims of a crime such as theft, assault or fraud, whether they live in the country or were visiting.

Victims may feel lost because of the language, an unfamiliar legal system and the stress of what happened. The service aims to guide them, protect their rights and seek justice and payment for the harm done.

What the service includes

• A first meeting to learn the details of what happened.
• Help reporting the crime to the police, if this has not been done.
• Gathering and preparing the papers for your case.
• Acting for you from the investigation through to the trial, and speaking for you in court when needed.
• Keeping you informed and explaining each step.
• Seeking money for the damage or loss you suffered.
