How to Choose a Defense Lawyer
Four questions help you find the lawyer who fits your case. Every lawyer in this directory is a SACDLA member.
Match the Charge
Filter by practice area: DWI, felony trial, misdemeanor, juvenile, federal, appeals and writs, or immigration.
Know the Court
Each profile lists the courts where that lawyer practices, from the County Courts at Law to the Fourth Court of Appeals.
Speak Your Language
Filter for lawyers who speak Spanish or another language, so every conversation is clear.
Reach Out Directly
Call, email or write through the profile. The first conversation is between you and the lawyer.
If You Cannot Afford a Lawyer
Ask the court about appointed counsel. Bexar County's Public Defender's Office and its Managed Assigned Counsel program serve people who qualify, and many SACDLA members take court appointments.
