Rachid
Mohamed Hammu

Rachid Mohamed Hammu has worked on every side of a Spanish criminal case. He sat as a judge in the courts of Ceuta for five years, served as a public prosecutor in the Provincial Prosecutor's Office of Cádiz, and has defended criminal cases without interruption for more than twenty years. Knowing how a judgment is built and how a prosecution is sustained changes the way they are challenged.

He holds a Doctorate in Law (Legal Sciences programme) with distinction from the University of Granada, where he is a member of the Department of Criminal Law and teaches and researches. He also holds a Master's degree in Traffic Law and Road Safety and a university specialist qualification in Immigration Law.

The Criminal Chamber of the Spanish Supreme Court has expressly praised his written appeals in published judgments, which can be checked by their ECLI on the official CENDOJ database:

• An appeal "of impeccable legal technique": STS 11/2018, 15 January 2018, ECLI:ES:TS:2018:13 (reporting judge Manuel Marchena).
• An appellant arguing "with outstanding legal and cassation technique": STS 217/2022, 9 March 2022, ECLI:ES:TS:2022:972.
• A "thorough and well-argued" ground of appeal: STS 301/2024, ECLI:ES:TS:2024:2108.

Cases are handled in English, Spanish, French and Arabic, which allows clients and their families abroad to follow the defence directly, without intermediaries.
