Criminal Lawyer in Marbella

In Marbella, the most complex criminal cases tend to have an international dimension and high-value structures. Most lawyers will tell you the same thing: that they know the law. And I am not saying that is a lie.

But you won't hire me for that. 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.

Criminal defence in Marbella

Proceedings in the judicial district of Marbella, which also covers Benahavís, Istán and Ojén, are handled by the Courts of Instruction of Marbella (Juzgados de Instrucción). When the offence is serious, the trial takes place at the Provincial Court of Málaga (Audiencia Provincial de Málaga). I appear before all of them.

Marbella concentrates a very particular kind of case: money laundering, high-value corporate structures, organised crime and operations with an international dimension. These are long investigations, with asset tracing, letters rogatory to other countries and, increasingly, digital evidence from encrypted platforms. I know how these case files are built and where they tend to fail.

Many of my clients in Marbella are foreign residents. I speak English fluently, so you will handle your case directly with me, no interpreters, no intermediaries. In this kind of proceeding, the first days make the difference.
