I practice almost exclusively in two areas of law: criminal defense and family law. By limiting myself to only these two areas, I am able to practice only those types of law I enjoy, and gain better experience and training in only those areas. This section will give you an overview of these two areas of the law. If you have any additional questions, feel free to call me or e-mail me for a free consultation.

Facing Criminal Charges in Hidalgo County?

Being charged with a crime is never a simple matter. When criminal charges are brought against you, the full weight of the government's power is being used to try and punish you. When you are charged with a crime, the charging document actually reads, "State of Texas v. You." Make no mistake about it, when you are charged, the police and the prosecutors are going to do everything in their power to convict you. If you are facing criminal charges it is important to act quickly to begin protecting yourself. There are very important steps you should take from the moment the police contact you to ensure you are not wrongfully arrested and convicted of a crime. I represent clients facing criminal charges in State and Federal court throughout the Rio Grande Valley. This includes charges of driving while intoxicated (D.W.I.), assault, possession of drugs, illegal weapons possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, public intoxication and felony charges including aggravated assault, sexual assault, criminal homicide, possession of drugs, car theft, robbery, and injury to a child.

McAllen Family Law

I handle cases dealing with most aspects of family law. This includes divorce proceedings, custody disputes (both pre-divorce and post divorce), divorce decree modifications and child support issues. Child support issues include cases brought by the Attorney General's Office against fathers based on a claim of child support arrearages. Family law matters are always difficult because they involve issues that are so personal to our lives. But divorces and child custody proceedings do not have to be earth shattering events. They can be handled both effectively and quietly. If you have a family law issue and you are uncertain what the next step should be, call me today to discuss the issue.
