About Jose
Biography
I have devoted my career to the practice of criminal law and I am honored to fight for my clients everyday. I began my career as a prosecutor and was quickly promoted to the felony division, prosecuting drug cases. While working as a prosecutor, I tried more cases than anyone in our office, and gained valuable insight into the law of search and seizure and the science of drug cases. After working as a prosecutor I was hired at one of Texas' premier criminal defense firms (), working closely with one of the top criminal defense lawyers in the State on thousands of cases, ranging from theft to murder. I have an established track record of obtaining outstanding results for my clients, including dismissals, grand jury "no bills", reduction of charges, and acquittals. I have first chaired over 50 criminal jury trials and am never afraid to go to trial to help my clients. To help my clients charged with DWI or drug offenses, I have also spent hundreds of hours studying the science of breath and blood testing, and have even become certified to administer Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs). There is no greater honor than to have someone entrust you with a criminal case and I always promise to do all I can to acheive the best result possible.
In 2018, I founded Ceja Law Firm where I will continue devoting my practice to fighting for citizens accused of crimes. I am happy to offer anyone accused of a crime a free consultation.

Outstanding Service.
I contacted Jose following my arrest for my DWI and he was quick and easy to get a hold of. After hiring, he helped me to the greatest extent at my court hearing while explaining anything I had questions on. He won my case to keep my license instated which helps greatly for my work.

Jose Antonio Ceja's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Jose for many years. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone I knew that was facing a criminal charge. He is smart, thorough, diligent, and truly does care about his clients. 10/10 would recommend."
"Jose is an excellent trial lawyer that someone charged with a crime would be lucky to have on their side. He truly cares about his clients and is willing to fight for them. Against all odds, he's been able to secure acquittals from juries, protecting his clients from being labeled a criminal."
"Jose's case results prove he is at the top of his field. Jose is a well skilled, professional attorney that will fight for the best outcome possible."
"I have tried jury trials against Mr. Ceja and also done them with him. I can vouch that he's an excellent trial lawyer. He work extremely hard towards getting the best possible outcome for his clients. I highly recommend him without reservation."
"One of my earliest trials as a defense attorney was against Mr. Ceja, shortly after he joined the Cochise County Attorney's Office as a prosecutor. He very quickly developed a reputation as one of the best trial attorneys at that office, and he also has an excellent reputation as a criminal defense attorney. He is a very smart and savvy trial attorney, and I highly recommend him."
"I have known Jose for a few years. I worked with him as opposing counsel on many occasions. He is always professional and courteous. He is very thorough with his cases and always fights hard to get the best results for his clients. I would highly recommend him."
"I have seen Jose Ceja in DWI trials and was impressed with his level of preparation. In the trials I witnessed, he had total control of the arresting officer and was able to show the jury that the police officer rushed to judgment in arresting Jose's client. I endorse this lawyer."
"Jose is a bright and upcoming star in the criminal defense world. He works for one of the top trial attorneys in Texas, Grant Scheiner. Under Grant, Jose has learned to be a zealous advocate and a successful trial attorney. Jose is destined for greatness."

"I have worked with Mr. Ceja both when I was a prosecutor, and now as a criminal defense attorney. When I negotiated against him, Mr. Ceja always represented his client's interests zealously, and in a very professional manner. Now that I am in private practice, and my office is near his, I see the hours of preparation that he pours into his cases. Anyone charged with a crime would do well to hire him."
"I initially met Jose Ceja at a conference that we both attended. Since that conference, I have had multiple interactions with Jose in and outside of the courthouse. I have had Jose help me on numerous different issues on different cases and his help, advice and perspective have been spot on. I would not hesitate to recommend Jose on any criminal defense matter."
"I strongly endorse Jose. He is a professional in every sense of the word. He cares deeply for his clients and understands the very important things each criminally accused client has at stake. I have witnessed him participate in jury trials and obtain dismissals for clients. He does not fear a fight for the sake of his client."
"I've had the opportunity to see Jose interact with clients and see him represent individuals in trial. I know he cares about every client he represents and does everything in his power to secure the best possible outcome. A defendant could never go wrong hiring Jose to be their lawyer."
