About Joshua
Biography
I represent clients in criminal and family law matters in Montgomery County and throughout Texas. Yo hablo Espanol. Eu falo Portugues. I am also a certified family law mediator.
I represent clients in criminal defense matters including DWI (driving while intoxicated) cases.
I also represent clients in select family law proceedings such as divorce, child custody, cps, and other family law related matters. These cases are highly complex, emotional, and take up significant time. Therefore, I will only handle a few contested family law matters at any given time.
I represent parolees in parole revocation hearings. I am fluent in English, Portuguese, and in Spanish. Feel free to call my office and make an appointment if you have any questions or need representation.

Mr. Zientek was very polite, professional and caring. I would highly recommend this lawyer to anyone. I never had any trouble getting ahold of him and he would return calls promptly. He did a great job and always kept updated on my case. A job well done!

He is what a lawyer should be.
It was our first time to hire a lawyer and it was for our son. He did not just help him with the case. I can say he also put some sense in him and I guess hope also that he can still move on after a trial in his life like this. He was honest, considerate and knowledgeable in his field of expertise...
