Awesome attorney!

Mrs. Del Prado is a great attorney. She is very Thorough and down to the point. No false hope or promises, tells you what can happen either way. She is very straight forward, but most of all very truthful. Mrs. Del Prado was really there for her client. She is very understanding and very professional.... We are very happy with the results of the case. We had a positive outcome. I would definitely rehire her and recommend highly. She is a great person.

Case Dismissed! Best Attorney Ever!

I was charged with assault causing bodily injury - family violence in Guadalupe County after my ex husband called the police during an argument we were having. He was punching and strangling me, so I hit him with a rock to get him off of me. Since he was the one that called the cops and reported the ...incident, it ended in my arrest. So I found Christine Del Prado and met with her upon my release to review my case and see if this was something she could help me fight. Christine and her husband met with me and went over my case and assured me that I would be in good hands, and that we would fight this case. And that she did! She did not back down, she said we would push this all the way to trial when dealing with the prosecutors in Guadalupe. And she had the case fully dismissed with in 3 court dates. No trial needed, last court appearance not needed. If convicted or any sort of court ordered probation or supervision would have been required it would have prevented this charge from ever being removed from my record. So we need a not guilty verdict or a full dismissal, which she produced. I could not have asked for a better attorney on my side. She was amazing, diligent, and had great communication with me during the entire process. I would only recommend her. Ever. Thank you Christine for everything you have done for me and all of your hard work!!

Amazing Attorney

Christine Del Prado is a very professional, straight to the point, skilled, knowledgeable, down to earth attorney. She was amazing to see in court. My husband was facing 10 years in prison for making irresponsible choices. She kept him from going to prison. As my husband put it "She blew it out of ...the park in court". I highly recommend her if you want a GOOD attorney on your side.

She gets the job done

Christine was able to help me with an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon case. No I didn’t try to hurt my husband with a pizza cutter by throwing it at the wall. Most attorneys were talking about probation and upwards of 20000 to help my pretty simple case. Even tho it seemed simple to me, she ...made sure to cover all bases concerning the case. She gave me a fair price and was very straight forward and honest about what was at hand. She really gets down to buisness and gets the job done, no Bsing around. She’s a great attorney n a very bada** woman.
