Legal Support in Domestic Violence Cases
In Spanish law, domestic violence and gender-based violence are not interchangeable. “Domestic violence” is commonly used for violence within certain family or household relationships; the legal classification depends on the relationship, the alleged conduct and the surrounding facts.
Gender-based violence has a specific legal scope under Organic Law 1/2004: violence against a woman by a man who is or has been her husband or partner, including a similar relationship without cohabitation.
That distinction can affect the competent court, the measures that may be requested and the course of the case. We identify the applicable framework, explain the immediate options in clear English and prepare the next procedural step with you.
If anyone is in immediate danger, call 112. For urgent legal assistance, call +34 637 342 483. The 24-hour service is reserved for urgent situations.

Help for Victims
If you are experiencing violence from a partner, former partner or family member, you can seek legal advice before or after contacting the police. We assess the immediate legal issues, explain reporting and protection options, and can represent you through the criminal proceedings.
Available measures depend on the facts and the court’s assessment. In an emergency or immediate danger, call 112.

- 02 Reporting and protection options
- 03 Legal representation through the proceedings
Defence After an Allegation
If you have been reported, arrested or summoned to court, obtain legal advice before giving a statement. An allegation is not a conviction, and the presumption of innocence applies.
We review the complaint and available evidence, prepare police-station and court appearances, and build the defence around the facts and procedural safeguards.

- 02 Review of evidence and procedure

Cases Involving Children
Children may be direct victims, witnesses or otherwise affected by violence at home. Their safety, privacy and best interests must guide the response. We explain the criminal and family-law implications and how evidence involving a child should be handled.
If there are indications that a child is experiencing violence, Spanish law requires the situation to be communicated immediately to the competent authority. If there is immediate danger, call 112.
