Founded in 1999 by brothers Javier and Manuel Rincón Bernal, our firm combines over 25 years of criminal law expertise with full English-language service — from the moment of arrest to the final verdict. Murcia's strategic position on the Mediterranean corridor, with the Port of Cartagena as a major entry point for international drug trafficking, means that many cases in the region escalate beyond the provincial court to the Audiencia Nacional in Madrid. RINBER has documented experience in exactly these cases. Whether you have been arrested in Murcia city, Cartagena, Lorca, on the Costa Cálida, or are under judicial investigation, RINBER will be by your side at every stage of the proceedings. ## Practice Areas in Murcia - [Drug Trafficking Defence](/drug-trafficking-spain/) — including Port of Cartagena cases escalated to the Audiencia Nacional - [Sexual Offences Defence](/sexual-offences-spain/) - [Homicide & Murder Defence](/homicide-murder-spain/) - [Fraud & Economic Crime Defence](/fraud-economic-crimes-spain/) — property fraud, agri-food sector - [Money Laundering Defence](/money-laundering-spain/) - [Domestic Violence Defence](/domestic-violence-spain/) - [DUI & Road Traffic Offences](/dui-road-traffic-spain/) - [Cybercrime Defence](/cybercrime-spain/) ## Which Courts Handle Criminal Cases in Murcia?
