I am a criminal lawyer in San Antonio and I defend people accused of state or federal crimes in Texas.  I have over 20 years of trial experience helping people fight their felony and misdemeanor charges in state and federal court.  Above all else, I will fight to get the best results possible for each client.

Mr Cortez took over a trafficking of Marijuana case for me I was facing numerous amounts of years in prison. He was completely on top of his game he kept in touch through the process and was willing to fight for me when everyone else was telling me I was going do time no matter what. He was extremely knowledgeable and very curious he gave me hope when there was none to be had he was a gift from god. To make along story short I went from five years to one year to as of January 19 I was a completely free man . I had never been in any type trouble in my entire life I made one bad decision out of my life as a adult long story short if you feel as if you are helpless and are going to be put in a life changing charge in the court system I urge you please give this man a chance he will benefit you like know one else can. I give this attorney 5 stars the only bad choice you could have in life would be overlooking this attorney. God bless you Mr Cortez and for everyone else out there that needs help hire this man cause in the end all we have is choices so make the right one for once and hire this nan. Again thanks for sticking bye me when all else was lost god bless you and america…
