Outstanding Attorney!

My ordeal started in April of 2013. I was a police officer of 19 years and was facing a serious charge of Indecency of a Child and certain prison time if I did not vigorously fight these charges. I had a great attorney who was my primary counsel and who I can't say enough good things about him. D...uring my three year ordeal my primary attorney would mention we would need to consider hiring a second attorney to be his second if and when we went to trial. The DA's office always has two attorneys during a trial and we needed to be ready. In late 2015 my primary counsel mentioned Christine Del Prado as our second. After weighing my options I gathered every penny I had and made the decision to hire Christine. Christine hit the ground running! She wanted to know every single shred of evidence. She tasked my primary counsels staff with new to do list. I was amazed with the energy she brought into a team that was already established to "win." Even though we hired her as a second I am glad to tell you she didn't stick to her primary role! She was all in as co-counsel. Christine and my primary counsel worked hand and hand for the next five months. They found new evidence and even drove to Austin to interview a witness. No one will do this for you! In April 2016 we had a trial and I am happy to say on the third anniversary to the day I was declared "not guilty." I owe my freedom to Christine and my primary counsel. I would also like to mention Mario Del Prado. Even though I never hired Mario he was always there consulting with Christine. Thank you Christine and my primary counsel for a job well done!

Best team of Attorneys

Christine Del Prado is an attorney that is serious about the work she does. I hired Mario Del Prado and had the opportunity to have Christine also work with me in the court of law. Christine is persuasive, professional, and always prepared in the court room! When you hire the Del Prado law form know ...that your case is in great hands. Legal matters are never easy to deal with but Christine made every step of the way clear and smoother to handle. I wouldnt recommend any other attorneys for a case in Bexar County!!!

The Del Prado Firm is the best, no competition!!!

Mrs. Del Prado took the time to get all the details about my case in an empathetic manner. She saved me from a charge that would have followed me for the rest of my days, and changed my life dramatically. The hard work and unstoppable determination she has for getting her clients the best possible ou...tcome shows. Throughout the whole time, I felt completely at ease knowing that she and her husband would do every single thing they possibly could do to get me the best outcome. The Del Prado firm got me the BEST possible outcome for my case, one that I could have only dreamt about! I owe my sincere gratitude to Mr. And Mrs. Del Prado. If you do find yourself in a troublesome situation, I HIGHLY recommend getting in contact with them. If you are living in the San Antonio and sorrounding areas, and need legal representation, they are the best around.

Deadly Conduct

I have been in the military for 12 years and was accused of deadly conduct. I needed to protect my career. My charges were dropped and I have no record. I can move on with my life thanks to Christine!

Absolutly amazing person and attorney

I live in upstate New York. I lived in Texas for two years. While I was living there I got into some trouble and never went to court and came back to New York. I was working in a nursing home for three months and the labor board told me I could not work I had a active warrent in Texas. I could n...ot return to work until this was resolved. I needed a loywer out of San Antonio Texas. I searched criminal loywers out of that area I came across Del Prado law firm. I explained my situation to Christine. I knew right away she was who I needed to help me. I hired her and it was the best descision of my life. I hired her on a Thursday and she had me in court that Monday I was very impressed to how fast she did this for me especially being a fugitive and the case being five years old. I was in court Monday morning and I had everything done by noon that day. She knew everyone in the court system. She made me feel very comfortable and explained everything to me step by step. Christine got me the results I needed to be able to return back to work. She is definatly the best at what she does. She is a amazing person and loywer. If anyone needs a loywer Del Prado is the way to go u will definatly b satisfied with your desicion in every way. I could not thank her enough for everything she did for me She is amazing. She knew my job was on the line and did everything to make this as quick and easy for me and I am thankful that I found her.
