Utmost Professionalism, Aggressive Representation

As a client of Christine, I can say without reservation that her ratings are not of coincidence, but help portray an accurate representation of her professionalism, character, care, knowledge, and talent. As a military officer, I had ensured that I had interviewed former JAG officers for suitable re...presentation for my criminal charges. After speaking with Christine, I had disregarded the other half-dozen possible candidates, sensing that Christine would best represent my case. I can honestly say that it was the best investment I have ever made in my life. Through multiple discussions, she instilled a sense of confidence in me for the possible outcome of the cases. Christine exhibited a mastery of the court system that I did not fully anticipate. She was not only instrumental in her strategy, but knew the court system inside and out, including the prosecution and judges. I would not hesitate for an instant to select Christine as future representation if needed. Thank you Christine, I will be forever grateful.

Best Criminal Defense Attorney firm in SA--bar none!!!

I was charged with a class B misdemeanor possession of marijuana. I had interviewed several criminal defense attorneys, but knew immediately upon meeting Mario and Christine Del Prado that their firm was the one to represent me. They made me feel like they genuinely cared and I knew I would be in g...reat hands. They have excellent communication skills and were very clear in explaining all the potential outcomes from the best case to worst case scenarios. They kept me informed along the way and advised me on how to prepare for my court appearances. I was overjoyed on my last court date when the prosecutor said that the charges against me were going to be dismissed. Mario and Christine really “went to bat” for me. I can’t imagine a better attorney firm in San Antonio! Thank you so much Del Prado & Del Prado!!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
