Criminal Defence

Criminal Defence Coverage Areas: Buenos Aires City (CABA) and Greater Buenos Aires (GBA)

In criminal law, the difference is often made in the first hour. We operate with real logistical capacity for urgent situations — arrests, searches, and hearings — and with technical rigour for procedural matters: bail, house arrest, nullities, and overall defence strategy.

Select your jurisdiction below to access the local guide: useful addresses, how prosecutors operate, recommended first steps, and the critical points to address from the outset.

Why Does Local Presence Matter in Criminal Defence?

Court-Specific Criteria

The law is uniform, but practice varies: hearing schedules, bail criteria, procedural priorities. We adapt our strategy to the actual dynamics of each Judicial District.

Logistical Speed

In arrests and searches, arriving quickly and organising the case from the outset can change the outcome. Every hour of delay carries a cost.

Procedural Management

Filing offices, official document requests, court schedules, and prosecutorial routines: knowing the timelines and procedures reduces avoidable delays.

Direct Defence — No Intermediaries

Structured work plan: diagnosis, initial strategy, and concrete steps. When additional coordination is required, it is done with full oversight and clear accountability.

Emergency Checklist — Arrest or Search in Progress

Confirm location: exact name of the police station or detention facility, and the identity of the intervening authority (prosecutor or court).
Do not improvise statements — no informal "clarifications". No statement without a clear strategy in place.
Request key information: official record (acta), stated grounds, items seized, witnesses, time of incident, and name of the intervening officer.
Organise the account and preserve evidence: messages, location data, CCTV footage, witnesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the jurisdiction (provincial, national, or federal), the prosecuting authority, and how the proceedings were initiated. In urgent situations, the most effective step is to confirm the detention facility and the intervening authority — then define the filing and hearing strategy from there.

Yes. In many cases we can intervene through jurisdictional connection, referral, or coordination. If your area is not listed, contact us: we will identify where action must be taken and which steps to prioritise first.

Full name and national ID (DNI), exact location (police station or detention facility), time of the incident, whether items were seized (phone, vehicle), whether there are witnesses, and the name of the prosecuting authority or court if known.

No. Timelines and oversight depend on the jurisdiction and the specifics of the case, but any deprivation of liberty requires a legal basis and judicial supervision. In practice, we act immediately to review the grounds for detention, verify procedural documentation, and assess available alternatives.

Formal legal defence means strategy + written submissions + hearings + evidence control — not simply attending the police station. It means planning and executing concrete actions to minimise harm, organise the case, and prepare the most favourable outcome possible.

It affects risk assessment criteria, hearing schedules, procedural modalities, and the practices of individual prosecutors. That is why each local guide includes operational information and a jurisdiction-specific strategic approach.
