Method
Before you entrust me with a matter you are entitled to know how I prepare it, which is what this page sets out: sources verified, and the final judgment always mine.
A wrongly cited authority, a repealed rule that slips into a brief and a deadline taken as safe without being checked all do their damage quietly. Nobody sees them until the court or the opposing party does, and my method exists so that they never get that far.
This is a discipline and not a badge of modernity. I apply one order of work to every matter without exception, with the tools proposing while the decision, the strategy and the signature stay with me, so that what leaves my office is well founded and able to stand up before anyone.
A statement that sounds reasonable, or that already appears in a draft, is not thereby sound. Each citation and each ruling is checked against its official source, meaning the official gazette (the BOE) and the law reports, and where it matters to the case against the wording in force on the date of the facts and not today's. Whatever fails that check never reaches the written submission.
Most matters that are lost are lost on deadlines, formal requirements and procedural prerequisites, through an oversight and not on the merits, so I review them from day one and keep them in view until the end.
I decide where I want to get to, and why, before taking any step. Then I set out the real options with their risks, and you choose with the information in front of you.
Advanced tools, artificial intelligence included, let me read more, compare more and save time on mechanical work, and I use them with deliberate distrust. A machine can be wrong with complete confidence, so nothing it produces reaches your matter without first passing through the official source and my judgment.
The most sensitive material never enters any tool, and your information is not used for anything unrelated to your defense, or to train anyone. Technology clears the ground, and the judgment on your case is one I do not delegate.
My digital training has been continuous. It began with the digital skills certificate from the Spanish General Council of the Legal Profession (the national body of the Spanish bar) and led to the in-house governance system for artificial intelligence I work with today, with written verification rules, a trace of every step and control over what does and does not enter each tool.
Results cannot honestly be promised, so what I commit to is narrower, and I keep to it, namely work that is prepared, can be checked and holds up.
Once you entrust a matter to me, the method shows in what follows.
Cross-checked work leaves few flanks open and reduces the risk of an error surfacing late, when it is already costly to fix.
Every step is documented. If the handling of the matter ever has to be shown, nothing needs to be reconstructed from memory.
The mechanical work goes to the tools, which leaves the hours for what decides a case, namely strategy and judgment.
Your material is processed in a professional environment, under a data processing agreement (article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation) and with an undertaking not to use it to train models, and never in personal or free services. Your matter is never mixed with anyone else's. Whatever by its nature must not leave my custody, such as material from proceedings the court has declared secret (secreto de sumario, article 302 of the Spanish Criminal Procedure Act), is kept apart, encrypted and off the cloud.
I keep a record of what I do as the work happens, not when the matter closes, so at any point you can ask me for:
You can check part of what I say on this page right now, without taking my word for it. Every legal statement I publish cites the specific article or ruling, so you can look it up in the BOE yourself. Where something has not been checked, I say so rather than let it pass. This site also uses no cookies and loads no third-party resources, not even typefaces, as your browser's developer tools will confirm by showing no request outside this domain.
You can make any of these requests at any point of the engagement.
Tell me about your situation and I will tell you, frankly, how I can help.
