Spanish Criminal Lawyers in Madrid
Excellence
in criminal defence
When your freedom is at stake, experience is not an added value: it is the only thing that matters.
Our Philosophy
Exclusive
dedication to
criminal law.
Founded in 2006, Chabaneix Abogados is deeply committed to criminal law. Every member and associate of the firm — criminal lawyers, partners in Spain and abroad, forensic experts — is dedicated exclusively to this branch of law. Our Spanish-speaking criminal lawyers serve clients to the highest standards of legal expertise, in the most complex proceedings at national and international level.
Legal Craftsmanship
The art of criminal defence.
I
First comes knowledge. Then come the years of criminal practice. Until you reach what we call legal craftsmanship.
II
Chabaneix does not merely apply the law: we work to build innovative solutions that create case law, both nationally and internationally.
III
The accumulated years of courtroom experience, the specialisation of the firm, the continuous training of our lawyers and our real-time awareness of national and international legislative change allow us to deliver genuine legal craftsmanship for our clients — always with the best possible result in mind.
Our Criminal Defence Method
Art and precision.
At Chabaneix Abogados we do not limit ourselves to applying defence strategies that already exist. After years of practice and experience at national and international level, we are able to offer our clients a true legal craftsmanship that has produced innovative judgments in favour of those we defend.
We are a criminal law firm in Madrid with exclusive dedication to criminal law. We accept criminal matters only, so that the most delicate cases receive our full attention. Our criminal lawyers are selected for their training, their experience and their vocation in criminal law: not one of them is a generalist.
Because we understand what a person facing criminal proceedings goes through, our attention is not confined to office hours. You will have close counsel available 24 hours a day, weekends included.

Our Team of Criminal Lawyers
Those who sign the defence.
