Legal representation in proceedings involving serious human rights violations.
The area
Technical rigor in offenses of special significance
These offenses are of special significance owing to the nature of the legal interests protected and the national and international obligations that govern their investigation and adjudication.
At TREU Abogados we take on these proceedings with the utmost technical rigor, representing both victims and, where appropriate, persons under investigation.
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 these offenses be investigated many years after they occurred?
Depending on the specific offense, the law may establish special treatment.
May victims take part directly in the proceeding?
Yes.
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.
