Maria Merino Abogados is a criminal and constitutional law firm with two offices in Lima, acting before the police, prosecutors and courts, and in other areas of law. Its clients usually arrive at the worst moment: with a detained relative or a summons in hand.
The problem
In criminal law, the first hours define the case. People looking for a criminal lawyer do it urgently, from their phone, and call the first one who inspires trust and answers now.
- A family with a detained relative does not know what to do or whom to call, and cannot wait for a reply.
- Clients do not know whether their situation (a prosecutor’s summons, pretrial detention, a company under investigation) is something the firm handles.
- Nobody trusts a criminal case to a lawyer they do not know: before calling, they look them up online.
- A firm covering many areas looks scattered if everything is mixed together.
What we built
A website designed for urgency: clients find their situation, know what to do and reach the firm in seconds.
- An emergency notice on arrival: if there is a detention or proceeding underway, it connects right away via WhatsApp or a call.
- 24-hour emergency assistance, with phone and WhatsApp always visible.
- “What is happening?”: clients choose their situation (a detained relative, a summons, pretrial detention, a company under investigation, appealing a sentence, a family case) and go straight to what they need.
- What to do in the first hours: do not make statements without a lawyer, do not sign without reading, ask for a copy of everything.
- Practice areas explained, from criminal defense and white-collar crime to family, civil, labor, corporate, administrative law and more.
- A “Consult my case” button across the website.
