Help With Criminal Cases in San Antonio and South Texas. 

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.         

What types of criminal law cases do you handle in Texas?

I handle the following types of cases:

  • Transporting Aliens
  • Smuggling of Persons
  • MTRs (probation violations)
  • Simple Assault
  • Serious Assault (using a weapon or badly hurting someone)
  • DWI and DUI

Help with bail and detention hearings. 

I will ask a federal or state judge to let you out on bond.  This includes asking a judge to set a bond if the judge remands you without bond (R.W.O.B.)  We can also help you with federal bail hearings in San Antonio and Del Rio, Texas.  

What counties do you work in?

We accept cases in Bexar County (San Antonio), Val Verde County (Del Rio), Kinney County (Brackettville), Maverick County (Eagle Pass), Uvalde County, Atascosa County (Jourdanton and Pleasanton), and Medina County (Hondo).

Testimonials

D. M.

Knowledgeable and reasonable.

J. G.

Genaro worked on my case with professionalism, compassion, and clear intent; I always knew where I stood. My final disposition got the most onerous charge dropped and deferred adjudication for the remaining charge, but without a lot of the restrictions that normally come with a plea deal of this kind. Though I could have successfully gone to trial, Genaro gave me clear alternatives that got rid of my legal issues without any pain and harm to me professionally and reputationally.

V. H.

Attorney Cortez was caring, professional, affordable, well informed, and quick to respond to any of my questions by email and phone. He was well prepared and solved my case in a timely manner.

A. L.

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.
