I have practiced criminal law in San Antonio and the surrounding areas for over 20 years.  I like what I do.  I believe every person deserves a zealous defense.  It doesn't matter to me if you are innocent, guilty, or somewhere in between.  It is my goal to protect your record and  to do my best to keep it as clean as possible.  This means that just because you are "guilty" I am still going to hold the State to the high burden of being able to prove your case and I am going to do everything I can to obtain the best result for you.  I also will go to trial when necessary.  I have handled almost every type of criminal case from traffic tickets up to capital murder and I am very familiar with the Bexar County Courts.. If you have a question on a criminal case feel free to call me or send me a message.  There is no commitment for that call and no pressure to hire our office.  I will be honest and upfront with you as to my opinion and the fees that are charged.  I believe it is important to have an attorney you trust and can communicate with.  You can and should call as many attorneys as you feel you need to find the one who is right for you.  All attorneys are not created equal and not every attorney will really care what happens in your case.  Even the best attorneys handle similar cases differently.  It is important for you to find an attorney who handles your case the way you feel most comfortable with.  Every individual represented by my office deserves respect and hopefully that is the way all of my previous clients feel they were treated.
