Attorney Roy J. Elizondo III grew up in the Texas Hill Country just north of San Antonio and graduated top of his class in high school before attending the Ivy League School of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.  After graduating from Yale Mr. Elizondo came back home to Texas to attend Law School at South Texas College of Law in downtown Houston.  At South Texas Roy cultivated the skills and knowledge of how to represent clients inside and outside the courtroom, winning his first trial (representing himself) while only a 2nd year law student.  After twelve years of practicing on both sides of the bar, Mr. Elizondo has successfully litigated and tried numerous cases for values ranging from $1000 - $16 million.  Being smart, creative and calculating is not enough to win sometimes.  Fortunately for his clients Roy was born with the character and charisma to be a natural trial attorney.
