Uncompromising defence.

JM&W's criminal practice provides specialised, high-quality defence in all types of criminal proceedings, from the first police interview to appeals before the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court. We act both as defence counsel and as private prosecution representing victims.

Our experience covers the most technically complex offences: economic, financial and corporate crimes, public corruption, drug trafficking, domestic violence and any other proceedings of particular significance. We have extensive experience before the Audiencia Nacional and the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court.

In arrest cases, we provide immediate 24-hour detainee assistance, guaranteeing the lawyer's presence from the very first moment.
