Best Criminal Attorney to Defend You, Your Family and Future

I highly recommend Attorney Trinidad Zamora to anyone that has found themselves in unfortunate circumstances as did my youngest son. The lives of my family and my son would have been shattered if not for Attorney Trinidad Zamora. Mr. Zamora’s extensive legal background and expertise as a trial attor...ney in criminal justice put my mind at ease during a time of uncertainty. Mr. Zamora knew my son’s freedom and future were at stake and he took it very personal that the County was out to take my son away from me and our family. After consulting with Mr. Zamora there was never a doubt in my mind, that Mr. Zamora is the best attorney for the job because I knew my son deserved the very best representation to preserve his future and his freedom. Mr. Zamora dedicated himself to our case the entire time and took it very personal that my son’s freedom was in jeopardy. He resolved two complex cases and more than exceeded our expectations. Mr. Zamora is deeply passionate about helping people who find themselves in unfortunate situations such as my youngest son who was going through a phase of alcohol abuse and reckless behavior. My 22-year-old son was accused of two profoundly serious felonies within an 11-month period; assault of a public servant (Texas State Trooper) in Grimes County and Felony Intoxication Assault in Harris County and he was destined to receive an excessive lengthy prison term. I am so thankful I was referred to Mr. Zamora, who exceeded all my expectations in defending my son’s freedom. Mr. Zamora was relentless in fighting for my son’s freedom and future; and would not accept the Court’s mediocre terms in exchange for my son’s freedom. Without his legal expertise and diligence, I would have lost my son for a decade. He not only saved my son, but he also saved my family the devastation of an impact that would have forever changed our lives. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation, you cannot afford to take your chances on the outcome of your case. I cannot stress enough that the success of your case depends on whether you hire Mr. Zamora to represent you or your family members. Do not gamble your freedom and your future to the draw of luck. Attorney Trinidad Zamora will dedicate himself to your case and fight relentlessly for your future and freedom. I consider Mr. Zamora my confidant and “our family attorney,” for life. Should any legal matter arise I know he is a phone call away and his door is always open and that he is in my family’s corner.

Charges dismissed.

I was on the last few months of felony probation when I came faced with a motion to adjudicate on 2 felony charges, 1 charge of robbery and 1 charge of assault on a police officer. The motion to adjudicate was filed due to a terroristic threat charge in which I was arrested. After bonding out of jai...l in the misdemeanor charge of terroristic threat and showing up for court, I was immediately re arrested before seeing the judge as this new charge violated my probation. Mr. Trinidad got me bond set on my 2 felony charges & began putting in work on my behalf to best my cases. In a timely manner, my misdemeanor charge was dismissed, and shortly after my motion to adjudicate was dismissed and I recieved a successful completion of my probation as all charges on all cases were dismissed. I am extremely satisfied with Mr. Zamora's efforts and would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a defense lawyer. Mr. Zamora showed care and concern for me as a human being wishing me well with good man to man advice which will last a lifetime. He is a good man and a great lawyer. When it comes to your freedom, Invest wisely,invest in Trinidad Zamora

Tenacious Professional

Trinidad Zamora is an attorney who I had the pleasure of being represented by in my misdemeanor assault case. The level of professionalism Trinidad exhibited in the courtroom and beyond was second none. From our initial consultation visit through the end of the trial and even afterwards I felt comf...ortable and secure in his judgement. The facts of the occurrence and his commitment to ensuring justice resulted in a “NOT GUILTY” verdict being recorded. I always felt like Mr. Zamora was in the fight for justice with me. His ability to demonstrate his knowledge of the law while presenting the facts to the jury, cross-examined the plaintiff, as well as, refuting the incorrect statements made by the District Attorney were very impressive. I have nothing less than a five (5) star rating for Trinidad Zamora, as an attorney, as a professional who is highly knowledgeable in the field of law, and foremost as person with high integrity. Thank you again for your dedicated commitment to me.

Marcus, I cannot express the gratitude I have for you and the trust you had for me in this process. Nothing like packing our chute together, the door rising, and propelling ourselves into the process. Justice prevailed, you stood up for our rights and it proved to be so. Congratulations, on to the next battle..

Aggravated assault felony completely dismissed!

I highly recommend Mr. Zamora to anyone that needs a criminal attorney in Houston. My husband was charged with a very serious assault case against me. This circumstance was very different then most because it was a mental health problem that should have been resolved in the hospital when I called ...the ambulance but was treated like a criminal case. This could have changed our lives forever but thank God and the attorney Trinidad Zamora the case was completely dismissed with no needed classes, community service, probation or anything. This time was very emotional for me and my husband. We had never been separated before in 10 years of marriage, Mr. Zamora was extremely sympathetic to our emotions and took his time to explain all the details of the case to us. He was always responsive to our calls and did all the steps possible to get our case resolved as soon as possible. He is not only knowledgeable about the steps needed in a delicate case but he treats the clients with dignity which is rare to find in this day and age. Again if you are looking for a great criminal attorney in Houston look up Mr. Trinidad Zamora and he will help you win your case.

No-Bill

After I was arrested for assualt fam/house mem impede breathing (3rd degree felony). I surely thought my future was doomed from furthering my career. In the first court appearance I notice Trinidad's present in the courtroom above all other lawyers. My mother just happen to bump into him outside o...f the courtroom. He took the time to stop, and answer her questions about the situation I was in. He gave her his info to my mother to pass on to me. I met up with Trinidad later that day. He explain to me the situation, and how serious the case is. He didn't beat around the bush, and explain the tactics he will use. After I hired him to represent me he immediately started working on my case. The next court date prosecutors plea was 5 year deferred probation. He quickly denied it, because he knew what was at stake for my future. Next step he told me he was going to submit a grand jury packet. The result of the grand jury packet was a No-Bill! Now I can put the situation behind me, and continue with my life without any worries. I highly recommend Mr. Trinidad Zamora III to represent you as your lawyer. My family, friends, and I can not thank him enough.

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 02

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"There are three things I respect about Trinidad. First, he is a warrior. The truth is folks, no amount of $$ given to an attorney will make that attorney "fight" more. Either the attorney is a fighter or he is not. Second, I respect Trinidad because he actually cares about his clients. If our clients know we really, no shit, care about them, then we have given them a piece of mind that no one else can give them. Our clients deserve this. Finally, I respect Trinidad because he works his cases from the very beginning. Working cases early gets good results, most commonly dismissals. Trinidad's record of dismissals is absolutely outstanding for an attorney with his years. There are too many attorneys who don't explore all avenues, and let a case get all the way to trial, thinking they can go in and "wing it." Trinidad is a perfect example of "zealous" advocacy, an ideal that all lawyers should aspire to. I am honored to be his friend and colleague."

"Trinidad Zamora is someone I am proud to call a friend and colleague. He's a person of strong character and good integrity. He's a determined investigator, and he brings that same detail-minded way of practice to every case he defends. Trinidad is the kind of attorney who comes to court prepared for every conceivable angle that the prosecutor can try, and he too has many a trick up his own sleeve. He's got the keen mind of a scholar combined with the heart of a warrior. And it shows in his courtroom presence and skilled advocacy in front of juries. I don't just know Trinidad; I respect him."
