Welcome to the Law Office of Roberto Ambrosino, PLLC. I pride myself on being an advocate for the accused. Having a blue collar background, I can emphasize with all accused citizens—which is why I work with clients to make legal representation a reality. The son of an Italian immigrant father and mother who survived cancer, I became a first generation college graduate. Growing up in the small coal-mining town of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, I learned to appreciate the merits of hard work and sacrifice.. Past. Prior to opening my own practice, I was an associate for a prominent civil rights law firm. The case on which I worked the hardest involved faulty urinalysis drug tests administered by the Bexar County Probation Department and their contracted drug lab. Those cases made me aware of the gross amount of injustice within the criminal justice system and served as the force behind the opening of my own criminal defense firm later on in 2009.. While attending law school on a scholarship at Texas Tech University, I interned for the Innocence Project of Texas, reading letters from incarcerated citizens and analyzing their claims of wrongful imprisonment. I also served as a research assistant for a law professor. I conducted research for the article: "Throwing the Baby Out with the Bathwater: A Call to Reinstate the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program" (Vol. 18, No. 4), published in the American Bar Association Journal of Affordable Housing and Community Development Law. I also participated in the trial advocacy program, and acted as a student attorney for Legal Aid of Northwest Texas, advocating for citizens in court before I even graduated law school.. In college, I graduated Magna Cum Laude, or "with high honors," mostly while working full-time as a food server at local restaurants in additional to a full-time course load. This was also a time when I had my only brush with the law involving numerous traffic tickets I had received over the course of a few years. As a college student, I could not afford to pay the hefty ticket fines and had my driver's license suspended as a result, I learned the hard way how unforgiving the law can be.. Present & Future. Today, I have a thriving criminal defense practice. I have been practicing for almost a decade, handling thousands of criminal cases in over 30 Texas counties. I have been recognized for excellence in criminal defense, and have accumulated nearly 100 positive reviews and attorney endorsements on the internet. I make my home in Helotes with my wife Tracy, a school psychologist, and children Dylan, Madeline, and Claire. When not in court, I spend my free time attending San Antonio Spurs games, watching my Pittsburgh Steelers, and taking my family to Sea World and the San Antonio Zoo.

We Help Good People Avoid the Devastating Consequences of Criminal Charges.. When I was younger, I was arrested for DWI. I remember the feelingthat came with the arrest. I was embarrassed, I was confused, andI didn’t know who to turn to for help. I went to my first court date notknowing what to expect.. Thankfully, my case was dismissed, but even after that, I didn’t knowthat I was eligible to have the arresat taken off of my record. Everytime I went for a job interview or applied for school, I went throughthe same feelings all over. I had to explain what happened and whyI was arrested. Every time, it was embarrassing and I never knewhow the arrest would impact me.. After graduating law school, I have been helping people that are inthe same position that I was. Every day, I remember that there aregood people being accused of crimes. They are going through thesame system that I had to go through and they are feeling the samethings that I felt. I have made it my mission to help these people out.Not only to get the best outcome, but to walk beside them as theygo through the process. I make sure to take time to learn about theirlives, to let them know what to expect, and to reach out to them tosee if they have any questions and to find out how they are doing.. Thankfully, I was able to get past that arrest years ago. Now, I getto help other people get past their arrests.

Paul Goeke is licensed to practice in State and Federal Court. He is a Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist. To achieve this qualification, a lawyer must devote a significant part of his practice to Criminal Law for a minimum of five (5) years and then pass a special law examination on Texas Criminal Law. Mr Goeke's law career has been ENTIRELY devoted to criminal law. Having begun his career as an Assistant District Attorney with the Bexar County District Attorney's Office, he has experience "on both sides of the docket". This provides a unique and highly valuable insight into the trial of criminal cases as it helps a lawyer to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of the State's case. Modern criminal cases rely heavily on forensic sciences and the application of science in the courtroom. Mr.Goeke has a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a Minor in the Physical and Biological sciences. He has studied extensively in medicine and the educational background makes him especially qualified to defend individual accused of crimes ranging from Capital Murder, Intoxication Manslaughter/Assault, Sexual Assault to Driving While Intoxicated.. All criminal defense cases are challenging. Defending an individual accused and prosecuted by the state, the police, all of the forces of government, this requires considerable training and experience. Many people wonder "Why would a lawyer who is qualified to handle capital murder or aggravated sexual assault cases also handle misdemeanor DWI cases?" The fact of the matter is that DWIs can be some of the most complex and difficult cases that exist. Successfully defending a DWI case requires an in depth understanding of science, law and human nature. DWI also accounts for the greatest number of actual innocent people charged with a crime. Every good lawyer enjoys a challenge and every good lawyer enjoys seeing innocent people acquitted (found not guilty) by juries. Mr. Goeke will represent you as an individual and treat your case as the most important case there is--because IT IS!  Conviction for ANY crime can have a long term negative impact on you.

Originally from West Texas, Robbie considers San Antonio home now. She graduated from St. Mary’s School of Law in San Antonio in 2001 and immediately began working at the District Attorney’s office. Although she knew she wanted to be a criminal defense attorney, she had been told by mentor’s that the best defense attorneys were prosecutors first. After working at the Bexar County District Attorney’s office she became an Assistant United States Attorney which only helped increase her knowledge of how to effectively evaluate and try cases. Robbie left the U.S. Attorney’s office to become a criminal defense attorney and has been extremely successful in her representation of clients.. She has tried many state and federal cases as both a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. As a defense attorney, her efforts and wins for her clients have earned her the nickname, “The Beast”, among many of her clients. It’s a nickname she laughs off, but has said it does make her feel proud that her clients know she will always fight hard and they appreciate the efforts she puts into each case.. Being able to do what you love and have real passion for is a key part of her success. Robbie said although the work is hard and can require lots of long hours, the ability to help people in their most trying times is worth it. As a single mom running her own practice, Robbie said it makes her proud that her daughter knows that what she is doing makes a real difference in people’s lives and her daughter is learning the same values Robbie was taught by her parents:                                                                            to be anything great, you have to work hard.

Nothing is more satisfying than hearing the words, "Not guilty," which is why I thoroughly prepare for every trial.  I look at the facts: the motives of witnesses, the credibility of witnesses, the scene of events, reports of law enforcement and experts.  I pick apart the prosecution's case.  Preparation and research is key to success.  Call me.

My interest in the law came about during my first years of college at the State University of New York.  I had a keen interest in history, Amercian and English history, and a desire to learn about anything I could get my hands on.  During college I worked for the New York State Attorney General in the Consumer Fraud and Protection Bureau then I worked for the New York State Senate and was able to rub shoulders with Lt. Governor Mario Cuomo.. Although able to attend law school in the Northeast, I tired of shoveling snow off the hood of the car, I decided to go South.  I attended my last year of High School in Chihuahua, Mexico.  I returned to school in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico. I loved the people and language of Mexico.  I wanted to continue to use Spanish and I sought a school close to Mexico. I attended St. Mary's School of Law graduating in 1987 ( I also took law clases at University of Texas Law School in Austin).. With my interest in constitutional law, I believe my practice which is primarily employment / labor law and criminal law is logical.  Both deal with individual rights and constitutional law.. In my employment / labor practice, I represent both employers and employees (not in the same case!).  The federal and state statutes that define the relationship between employers and employees are complex and are ever-changing through court interpretation.  I have written a deskbook on employment law that divides the complex laws on a conceptual basis for easy use by the practitioner.. In my criminal practice, I defend the accused, from murder to drug cases.  I have also been and continue to be a municipal prosecutor for almost twenty years.  I have been a municipal judge for almost twenty several years.  I am often hired to get involved in a criminal case to determine if evidence can be suppressed (whether statements made by the accused or physical evidence seized by law enforcement). I have secured dismissal in many cases because evidence could not be used.  I prevailed on suppression issues in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and another in the Third Court of Appeals in Austin.  I see first-hand as a city prosecutor the application of the principles of reasonable suspicion, probable cause, and the necessary and proper procedure to get evidence in.. I conduct training for police officers on the proper application of the principles in the Texas Constitution and the U.S. Constitution involving police encounters with citizens in regards to searches and seizures.. Apart from the law, and after my involvement with my children, tennis is my joy.  I try to play three to four times a week.  Tennis anyone???
