Criminal Lawyer in Benalmádena

Benalmádena has one of the largest communities of British and Northern European residents on the Costa del Sol. Facing criminal charges here, whether as a long-term resident or a visitor, means dealing with a system that most foreigners don't know and that moves faster than people expect. Almost every lawyer will tell you the same thing: that they know the law.

But you won't hire me because I know the law. You'll hire me because I understand your problem and because I can get you out of the mess you're in.

If I were in your position, I wouldn't wait.

I'm Miriam Rosales,

  • I work exclusively in criminal law, no other areas, no distractions.
  • 90% of my cases involve organised crime, drug trafficking and high-complexity offences.
  • My team includes lawyers with over 20 years of service in law enforcement. They know exactly how investigations are built, and where the weaknesses are.
  • I have specialists in European criminal law, critical for extraditions and cross-border cases.
  • I speak English fluently. You will deal with me directly, no interpreters, no intermediaries.
  • You will always speak to me directly, not to a secretary or an associate.
  • You will always know my fees in advance. No surprises.
  • Available 24 hours, 365 days a year.

If you have been arrested in Benalmádena

Benalmádena belongs to the judicial district of Torremolinos, so criminal cases from the town are handled by the Courts of Instruction of Torremolinos. For more serious charges, the trial takes place at the Provincial Court of Málaga (Audiencia Provincial de Málaga). I appear before all of them.

Benalmádena is a tourist area with a significant community of British, Scandinavian and Central European residents. That makes arrests of non-residents common, along with European Arrest Warrant and extradition proceedings, cases where you need to understand, in your own language, what is happening and what your options are.

I work in English directly, no interpreter standing between you and your defence. If you have been arrested in Benalmádena or have an open case, tell me what happened as soon as you can.

Don't leave it: call me now.
