Theft, burglary and robbery lawyer in Malaga
Theft, burglary and robbery expert lawyers
Property offences cover very different situations, from shop theft to residential burglary, robbery involving violence, criminal damage and handling stolen goods.
The legal classification depends on details such as value, method of entry, force or intimidation, identification and recovery of the property.
Effective defence or victim representation requires those details and the quality of the evidence to be examined carefully.
If you are accused of theft or robbery, or you have been the victim of a property offence, send us the complaint, summons, footage and documents available.
We act throughout Malaga city, Velez-Malaga, the Axarquia and the province. The first consultation is free.
How a lawyer can help you
Theft and minor theft
In broad terms, theft involves taking another person’s movable property without using force to gain access and without violence or intimidation against a person. Value, circumstances and previous convictions may significantly affect the classification and sentence.
Shop-theft cases often involve CCTV, security staff, receipts, security tags and recovery records. Identification, continuity of the footage, actual retail value and whether the goods passed beyond the store’s control should be checked.
Burglary and robbery involving violence or intimidation
Burglary-type offences may involve forced entry, climbing, false keys or other legally defined means. Robbery involving violence or intimidation focuses on conduct against the person and is treated more seriously.
The defence may need to examine each suspect’s alleged role, photographic or formal identification, fingerprints, DNA, phone-location evidence and later possession of property. When acting for the victim, we help document entry, damage and the items taken.
Homes, businesses and vehicles
The scene should be preserved where possible, the incident reported promptly and invoices, serial numbers, photographs, inventories and recordings gathered. Damage to doors, windows and locks should be photographed before repair unless immediate work is required for security.
For theft from vehicles, retain the police report, insurance claim, invoices and any information about cards or devices used after the incident.
Handling stolen goods
Buying, receiving or concealing property while knowing of its criminal origin, or in circumstances meeting the statutory requirements, may lead to an allegation of handling stolen goods. An unusually low price, missing documents, the sales channel and later conduct may all be examined.
The defence should preserve proof of purchase, payment records, conversations and evidence of good faith. Online listings, transfers and messages should not be deleted.
Compensation and recovery of property
The proceedings may address return of the property and compensation for damage, losses and proven expenses in addition to any criminal sentence. Valuation should be supported by invoices, estimates or expert evidence and distinguish repair from improvement.
A plea agreement may also include civil liability. Before acceptance, the amount should be checked and any payment or recovery accurately reflected.
Doubts you may have
What is the difference between theft and robbery?
Broadly, robbery involves force to gain access or violence or intimidation against a person; theft does not. The precise classification depends on the facts.
Is CCTV footage enough for conviction?
It may be important evidence, but identification must be reliable and the footage assessed with the rest of the case. Quality, continuity and lawful obtaining of the recording may matter.
What happens if the stolen item is recovered?
Tell your lawyer and the court. Recovery may reduce civil liability but does not necessarily end the criminal case.
Can the cost of a broken door or lock be claimed?
Yes, where the damage is linked to the offence and the reasonable repair cost is proved. Keep photographs and invoices.

Tenía un problema serio y complicado en relación a un inmueble, el abogado al que había acudido otras veces no supo como abordarlo y fue dilatándolo hasta que casi pierdo el control de la situación. Recurrí a Fernando y la experiencia fue muy distinta. Desde el momento en que me senté a hablar con él me invadió la tranquilidad (además la primera consulta fue gratis). Me propuso una gran variedad de opciones más de las que se me habían planteado en meses. Lo que parecía un caso perdido terminó por ser todo un éxito. Fernando es un gran profesional con una cercanía que lo convierte en único en su sector. Sin duda volveré cuando me surja cualquier imprevisto o duda legal. Muy recomendable.

I had a really positive experience with this firm. From the very first contact, they were incredibly responsive, professional and easy to communicate with. What stood out most was how kind and approachable they were. They took the time to respond clearly and made everything feel straightforward and stress-free, which I really appreciated. Even without needing to proceed further, I felt well looked after and would definitely return to them in the future if I needed legal assistance. Highly recommended.
