DUI Specialist Lawyer in Málaga
Driving under the influence of alcohol constitutes a crime against road safety strictly defined in the Criminal Code. Facing an arrest or citation for this reason requires technical intervention from an expert from the very first moment.
At Orozco y Asociados, we act as your DUI defense lawyer in Málaga to guarantee a solid criminal defense, structured to minimize legal consequences and protect your rights from the very police checkpoint.
Have you been summoned for a fast-track trial?
Response time determines the sentence.
Legal limits: milligrams per liter and blood alcohol level
The law establishes objective boundaries that admit no interpretation. Exceeding 0.60 milligrams per liter of exhaled air or 1.2 grams of alcohol in blood when driving motor vehicles automatically constitutes a drunk driving offense. Our legal team meticulously audits the police report.
We review the legal margins of error of the breathalyzer and the calibration certificates of the device used by officers to build a defense capable of undermining the validity of the test when procedural guarantees have not been respected.
Fast-track trial procedure for drunk driving in Málaga
The duration of these proceedings is extremely short. The fast-track trial for drunk driving in Málaga is usually held in the days immediately following the arrest. It is essential to have specialist attorneys who master the investigation phase. If the police report is irrefutable, the law allows negotiating a plea agreement with the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
If the defendant acknowledges the facts, an automatic reduction of one-third of the sentence is obtained. Our main objective is to evaluate the viability of acquittal versus plea agreement, choosing the best solution for our clients.
Applicable penalties: imprisonment, fine, community service and license suspension
The legal consequences of a conviction drastically affect your personal and professional sphere. The Criminal Code punishes this offense with alternative sanctions: Prison sentences of three to six months. Financial fine of six to twelve months (according to economic capacity). Community service of 31 to 90 days.
Regardless of the main penalty, the sentence entails mandatory suspension of the driving license from one to four years, in addition to generating a criminal record.

Criminal defense against refusals and drunk driving controls
