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.
