San Antonio Car Accident and Criminal Defense Attorney.

We help people hurt in car wrecks caused by bad drivers.  This can be a simple rear-end accident.  It can also be a car wreck caused by a drunk driver.  Or it can be a major crash with an overloaded 18-wheeler.  We handle these types of cases and everything in between.

Our goal is to make sure the insurance company treats you fairly.  We do this by following a two-step process.  First, we investigate the cause of the car accident.  In other words, we figure out who was at fault.

Second, we figure out the damages in your case.  Damages can be almost anything.  For example, damages include medical bills and expenses, loss of income, or the loss of a loved one.  We then use this amount to push for the best outcome possible.

Notably, the cause of the wreck and the damages form the backbone of your trial case. As a result, if the insurance company does not want to settle–or makes an unfairly low offer–then we will take your case to trial.  When this happens, we ask jurors to decide what is fair in your case.

We don’t get paid unless you win your case.

Our law firm works on a contingency fee basis.  This means you only pay attorney’s fees if we settle or win your case.  When we settle or win your case, then we will take a percentage of the settlement to cover the work we did.

The upside is that the client does not pay any money upfront.  And we do not get paid unless we win or settle the case. Most important of all, we will provide you with all the terms of the contingency fee in our contract.

First-Time Alien Smuggling Crimes in South Texas.

On top of that, our firm helps people arrested for migrant-smuggling offenses.  To illustrate, we handle first-time alien smuggling crimes along the Texas-Mexico border.  These cases include transporting aliens, harboring aliens, aiding and abetting, and conspiracies to smuggle people.  Our services cover bond hearings, motion hearings, jury trials, plea hearings, and sentencing.

Do you do jail visits for clients arrested on Migrant Smuggling Charges in Texas?

Yes.  We visit all clients that are in jail as soon as possible.  During the jail visits, we will help them prepare for bond hearings, trial, and sentencing. In some cases, we can schedule video or phone conferences.  But this will depend on the jail policies.

Equally important, we will keep the client informed and up to date on the status of his or her case.  This means if your loved one is in jail, then we will notify the client in writing if there are any changes in the case.  And we will schedule an in-person meeting to review plea offers and discovery with each client.

Knowledgeable and reasonable.

Genaro, worked on a serious case for me involving assault with bodily injury. He was very professional and easy to work with. He was extremely prepared and the case was dismissed! It was easy to see he handled everything like a true professional both inside and outside the court room and his pricing was very reasonable! I’ll definitely use him again, but hopefully will not have to.
