Bilingual criminal defense for foreigners facing charges anywhere in Mexico.

In most cases, I can establish communication with your loved one within 24–48 hours after being formally retained, depending on the rules and logistics of the specific prison.

The first step is a free video consultation with you or your family, where I review the basic facts of the case and obtain the necessary information and authorizations.

From there, I immediately begin the process of arranging an in-person visit or authorized call, so that your loved one knows they have a dedicated defense lawyer working for them and an ally who speaks both English and Spanish.

Yes. I represent foreigners facing criminal charges anywhere in Mexico, not only in the Riviera Maya.

Although I am based in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, my practice is focused on defending foreigners who have been arrested, are in pre-trial detention, or are already serving a sentence in different parts of the country.

When a case is outside my immediate area, I coordinate travel and local court logistics in advance, so you are fully informed about how representation will work and what to expect at each stage of the process.

Yes. When a foreign citizen is facing criminal charges in Mexico, coordination with the consulate or embassy is often very important.

• Inform your consulate or embassy about your situation (with your authorization).

• Share key procedural information and documentation with consular officials.

• Work together with consular staff to address issues such as conditions of detention, access to medical or psychological support, and communication with your family abroad.
• My goal is that your family is never left in the dark and that all available institutional support—legal and consular—is used to protect your rights and dignity throughout the process.
