Gender-based violence

Gender-based and domestic violence proceedings move very quickly: within a few hours there may be a protection order hearing or a fast-track trial before the specialised court. What is decided at that moment affects family life, the home and the relationship with the children.

At Castillo & Martín Abogados we take on both the defence of the person under investigation and the private prosecution, always with rigour and discretion.

Matters we handle

• Abuse, injuries, threats and coercion within a couple or family.
• Protection and restraining orders, and their modification.
• Harassment and stalking.
• Breach of sentence or of precautionary measures.
• Fast-track trials and guilty pleas.
• Appeals against judgments and precautionary measures.

How we work

• We act from the very first moment: the statement and the protection order hearing are decisive.
• We analyse the evidence: messages, witnesses, medical reports and the consistency of each version.
• We assess honestly whether a guilty plea or a trial is advisable.
• We coordinate the criminal proceedings with the civil measures on the home and children.
