The procedure is very fast: arrest or immediate summons, a specialised court and a possible protection order within 72 hours. Do not testify without a lawyer; the first decisions condition the whole case.

From 1 to 6 years for the basic offence depending on the substance, with aggravated forms for notoriously large quantities or organisation. The defence turns on the lawfulness of the intervention: searches, controlled deliveries and the chain of custody of the substance.

Large-scale cases: organised crime, major economic fraud, international money laundering or terrorism. They are long, documentally massive proceedings that demand an analysis method such as LIWARD.

The semi-liberty regime. It is applied for before the Prison Administration and appealed before the Prison Supervision Court. We work on classifications, progressions of degree, prison leave and conditional release.

The European arrest warrant has strictly defined grounds for refusal (sentences in absentia, fundamental rights, non bis in idem). With a presence in London and Paris, we coordinate defences with an international dimension.

From 0.60 mg/l in exhaled air (or driving under the influence of drugs) it is a criminal offence, not a fine: it is usually processed as a fast-track trial with fines, community work and disqualification from driving for 1 to 4 years.

Ordinary leave of up to 7 days once a quarter of the sentence has been served in the second degree, with good progress. Refusals are appealed before the Prison Supervision Court.

A measure of clemency by the Government that extinguishes the sentence in whole or in part. It is processed through a reasoned file (community ties, reparation, delays); we also prepare the suspension of the sentence while it is decided.
