Christine Martino Del Prado

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!!

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.

I was arrested on bogus charges in June of 2016. When the officer came to my house he was already mocking me for serving in the military in a branch that he did not respect and said that I was a loser who never saw combat. Needless to say, he arrested me and charged me with “Communicating a Terrori...stic Threat/Family Member or Household Member”. This charge, a class “A “misdemeanor falls under the domestic violence realm so I was nothing short of terrified that I was going to lose my right to own a gun or carry fire arms in my official duties. I could have been separated from the military if I was convicted and lost my right to vote among other things. I called all over San Antonio consulting with numerous lawyers and they all said the same thing, the county court that handles Domestic Violence is one of the hardest courts to win in and that it would take years to get the case finalized. The other answer I got was a guarantee they could get the case dismissed based on my story alone and not even seeing the police report. I felt like this was crazy talk since they had no idea of what was documented in the report. Let me just say this, I was totally innocent of the alleged charges against me, however the officer was a good report writer. He made sure the report met the three criteria that are outlined it the Texas penal code under 22.07. Once I saw the report I thought I was going to get convicted even though I was innocent. I have never been arrested or in any kind of trouble with the law so I had no idea what to expect and in fear of losing my career that I have worked so hard for I was traumatized. I called Del-Prado law and spoke with Mario. In speaking with Mario, he spoke about “integrity”, and spoke about doing the “right thing”, and that he could not guarantee me anything and no lawyer should make guarantees to me. I felt very comfortable with him over the phone so I scheduled a meeting with him for the next day. He sat with me for over 2 hours and explained everything in the process from start to finish. He explained how the outcome could go in any direction, gave me recommendations on what to start doing, and explained how the courts works for Domestic Violence. At that point I was set on hiring him. Later that day, I talked to Christine and I got the exact same feeling over the phone. She talked about integrity and how they would not do anything to compromise me or their position. I came in to officially hire them the next day and Christine sat with me for over 2 hours again going over the process in every step of the way and explaining the outcomes. Her direction and explanations was totally in line with her husbands. I expressed to her how scared I was and what this conviction could do to me and she simply said “let us do our job”. During the two month process she had to change my court date twice and she kept me up to date on what was going on almost every single day. She made sure I was able to make the decisions for myself based on her legal professional opinion and never forced me to do anything. On the days where I was extremely scared she provided me the “Tough love” I needed and reinforced the fact she was on my side and in my corner fighting for me. She went so far above and beyond my expectations! Today she called me and told me my case was DISMISSED and my problems were over! I was amazed and so happy! I never stepped foot in a court room and the entire situation was resolved in less than three months total time! I could not have ever asked for a better outcome, and I owe my life and career to the Del-Prados!!! I hope I don’t, but if I ever need legal representation again, I will immediately reach out to them. Thank you Christine and Mario, I owe you my life and I can never repay you

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.

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.
