Defense of honor and reputation
Social media and digital outlets have increased the impact of expressions that harm the honor and good name of individuals. Determining when conduct constitutes an offense requires careful legal analysis.
At TREU Abogados we act both in the defense of persons under investigation and in the representation of those who believe their rights to honor and reputation have been violated.
Every case demands a different strategy. The difference lies not only in knowing the law, but in knowing how to build a theory of the case capable of withstanding every stage of the criminal proceeding.

Frequently asked questions
What clients usually ask us
Can a comment posted on social media be an offense?
In certain circumstances yes, depending on its content, reach and the elements provided for by law.
Should I delete the posts before filing a complaint?
No. It is advisable to preserve as much evidence as possible.
What should I do if I receive a summons from the Prosecutor’s Office to give a statement?
It is advisable to obtain legal advice before appearing. The statement you give may affect the course of the investigation, so it is important to understand beforehand your rights and the legal implications of each step.
At what stage can a lawyer intervene?
Early intervention is often decisive. Having counsel from the preliminary investigation allows timely strategic decisions, the preservation of evidence and the proper protection of the client’s rights throughout the proceeding.
