Frequently asked questions
Questions that deserve
straight answers
I have been made a formal suspect (arguido). What should I do?
Do not give any statement before speaking to a lawyer. As a suspect you have rights, including being assisted by a lawyer at every step. Contact us with the notification in hand.
I am the victim of a crime. Do I need a lawyer?
To join the proceedings as an assisting party and take an active role, yes. We also help you claim compensation for the harm suffered.
Do you handle cases in Spain or Brazil?
Dr. Ricardo Garcia is registered with the Bar Associations of Portugal, Brazil and Spain. In each case we explain how representation is organised in the country concerned.
