Specialisation
From minor offences to sprawling mega-cases: these are my main areas. I know the procedure, the courts and the prison system inside out.
Full defence in cases of trafficking, possession and distribution. I step in from the arrest itself: reviewing searches, chain of custody and police irregularities that can change the outcome. Extensive experience with art. 368 of the Spanish Criminal Code.

The criminal process
Spanish criminal proceedings move through very different phases, each demanding a different defence. I stand by you in all of them — and can take over your case at any stage, even mid-proceedings.
Immediate assistance for the detainee at the police station or duty court, anywhere in Spain. Preparing the statement and making sure every right is respected from minute one. 24-hour emergencies. More about emergencies →
The remand hearing, appeals and applications for release. If imprisonment follows: prison visits and constant communication with the inmate and their family. More about pre-trial detention →
The investigation: statements, expert evidence, nullity of unlawful evidence and a defence strategy from day one. Many cases are won at this stage, before ever reaching trial. More (in Spanish) →
Defence at trial before any court, including jury trials. Trials are won in the preparation: the evidence, the examinations and the strategy are worked out long before the hearing. More (in Spanish) →
If the judgment goes wrong, there remain the appeal, cassation before the Supreme Court and — where fundamental rights were breached — the constitutional appeal and Strasbourg. Deadlines run in days: decide fast. More (in Spanish) →
Once the sentence is final, another stage begins: suspension, prison classification, leave permits, open regime and parole. I stay with the inmate until the sentence is fully served. More about prison law →
About me
I have devoted years exclusively to criminal defence. A good outcome doesn't come from piling up cases, but from finding the right legal strategy in time and executing it with precision. That difference decides where a case goes.
I am a criminal lawyer with a deeply procedural mindset: cases are often decided within the procedure itself — the detainee's rights, nullity of evidence, chain of custody, expert reports — and I know it in detail, from the first statement to the enforcement of the sentence.
My track record is measured not in noise but in substance: I have taken on technical defences in serious, complex cases — mega-cases with multiple defendants, proceedings under media pressure and jury trials.
And when a client goes to prison, the defence doesn't stop: I stay at their side — and their family's — with prison visits, appeals and penitentiary work until the sentence is fully served.
I am a lawyer of foreign origin who built her career in Spain: I know what it is to live between two languages and two cultures, and it helps me truly understand those facing criminal proceedings far from home. I work personally in English, Spanish, Romanian and Russian.
“I don't improvise and I don't promise the impossible: I study your case, build a solid strategy and defend it with rigour and resolve.”
Those who hire me aren't looking for pretty words or false hope: they want someone who knows criminal procedure, knows how rights are defended from the inside, and doesn't give up easily.
Frequently asked questions
Stay calm and get a lawyer as soon as possible. A detainee has the right to remain silent and to be assisted by a lawyer of their choice from the very first moment; it's important not to make a statement before speaking to the defence. Call me at any hour: I handle emergencies 24 hours a day.
Yes. Criminal emergencies — arrests, imminent statements, searches — don't wait for office hours. The emergency line runs 24 hours, 365 days a year.
Yes — at any time and without having to justify it: the right to appoint a lawyer you trust exists throughout the case, including if you've had a court-appointed lawyer so far. The change is notified to the court (we lawyers handle the formalities) and the proceedings don't stop because of it.
Any paperwork you have from the proceedings: summonses, court notifications, police reports or earlier filings. If you have nothing in writing, that's fine: tell me your situation and I'll tell you clearly how I can help. Every consultation is confidential and protected by professional secrecy.
It depends on the stage and complexity of the case: a first statement is not the same as a trial with expert evidence or a mega-case. The first consultation has a fee, which I state clearly when you book; and if you entrust me with your defence, you'll receive a written quote — no surprises later.
Yes. Although the office is in Pamplona, I act throughout Spain, before any court, and visit inmates in any Spanish prison.
I personally work in English, Spanish, Romanian and Russian. The office also assists in Albanian and Chinese.
Yes. I provide ongoing legal support to inmates, with prison visits, custody appeals, regime progression and penitentiary benefits.
