On November 6, 2003, I became licensed to practice law in the State of Texas. The first cases that I tried was as an Assistant District Attorney, in Harris County, Texas. This experience allowed me to not only familiarize myself with criminal cases, but to develop and practice my trial skills. Since leaving the DA's office, I have handled both simple and complex matters in business/commercial, construction, employment law, and personal injury. I have handled at bare minimum, over 500 criminal and civil litigation cases in my career. I look forward to the opportunity to assisit you!

Best on around
Alex helped us very competently with good results regarding a civil and criminal case we were dragged into. He communicated well with us and stayed on top of everything. Although it dragged on for a while he helped us tremendously.

Thankful from the bottom of my heart
The case was dismissed, but beyond that Alex just treated me so well. I hadn't had someone treat me so kindly since before I lost my husband. He was very responsive whenever I called. Alex is just very passionate and caring about what he does.

"I first met Alex when he was representing a client opposite me in a case. I was impressed with the way he diligently represented his client and professionally handled himself. He handles himself the way all lawyers should. Now we work and consult together on a wide range of legal matters. I strongly recommend Alex."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Defreitas is an excellent attorney. He and I had several opportunities working together in Insurance and Personal Injury Defense. Each instance Mr. Defreitas was well prepared."
"Mr. Defreitas is an aggressive attorney who fights to get the best possible results for his clients. His years in the DA's office give him a unique perspective on what it takes to beat a criminal case. I do not hesitate to endorse him."
