The Only Counsel I Will Ever Recommend

Mario and Christine Del Prado may very well be the best criminal defense attorneys the San Antonio area has to offer. The experience and resources these two posses are paramount to their success. I was facing indictment on two counts of sexual assault whilst on felony probation! This meant I could b...e incarcerated on the probation violation alone before serving time for the new charges, amounting to a possibility of 40 years of prison time. Christine and Mario met with me immediately and walked me through the best case scenario and worst case scenario. I was on the verge of losing everything I had worked so hard to obtain. I placed my trust in them and they did not disappoint. After several months of nail-biting and a few panic attacks that Christine talked me through over the phone, the charges were No Billed and I was able to breathe again. I may very well owe my freedom to these two today. I do not know what would have happened had I not hired the Del Prado's, but I value my life and my freedom more then any amount of money to find out otherwise. I assure you they are the best at what they do and you will be pleased with what they can offer. I understand not every outcome is the same but you want the best representation you can get and the Del Prado's are just that.

Best attorny in San Antonio

I don't know where to start, I have multiple drug convictions in multiple states including Texas and I've been to prison. I recently was charged with possession of a large amount of drugs on a train passing thru San Antonio, this case was going to send me away for a longtime. I live in Houston, so ...after finding out what court had my case, I began researching lawyers in San Antonio. I found out that Christine and Mario worked in 145th Court. I contacted them and drove to San Antonio to meet with them, they got right to the technicalities of the case and how to beat it There retainer was considerably less than other attorneys. They didn't try and charge me anything extra. They even suggested I provide things as evidence to keep them from hiring a investigator, I went to court a total of 3 times, Mario had my case referred to an outside jury. He poked wholes in it which ultimately allowed me to walk Scott free. There was no indictment, the 3 times I went to court Mario was on time, I drove 3 hours just to sit n court for 30 min and leave. I noticed Mario is very respected by the bailiffs and DA' s in that 145th Court. I don't know what kind of pull he has there but instead of 30 or 40 yrs.' I'm sitting here with my family and I can start my life over. I didn't lose my family or my job. Thank you Mario and Christine for a job well done, god bless you !!!

Worth every penny

Our son was sentenced to 8 years in Prison in Texas. We were very dissatisfied with the attorney that had represented him previously and were hoping to find an attorney that would represent him in a hearing for Shock Probation. Christine Del Prado did an outstanding job. She is extremely knowledga...ble and experienced. She is very strategic, but what impressed me the most was the effort that she put forth which resulted in a positive outcome. She outperformed all expectations…Hire her, you will not regret it. She drove to Smith Prison and met with our son for 3 hours. She stayed in touch with us in California, during the entire process. She put forth an extreme effort and really cares. Having her husband on the team is like getting 2 for 1. Great experience.

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.
