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.

Thank You Christine!

Ms. Christine Del Prado is an outstanding lawyer and an extraordinary human being. She saved my life, my career and my family. I was facing a family violence assault charge levied by our adult daughter that could have easily ended my government career with the United States Air Force and destroyed ou...r lives. Christine responded and met with me within hours of the first call and engaged with law officials immediately. She maintained contact with me and kept my spirits up during a very dark and scary period of my life, she always ensured I was aware of what she was doing to help me and she truly cared. My security clearance was on the line as was my job but my faith in Christine never faltered. Christine cared about me as a person and she was always up front and honest, she never, ever put me on the back burner and she was always working hard to help us. In the end, Christine used her savvy legal expertise to negotiate a dismissal of my case and restored my life and family. I cannot possibly overstate how much I respect her as an attorney and a person, we were more than fortunate to have found her. I pray I never need her services again but I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs help, simply put, I cannot imagine a better lawyer and counselor to have on your side. Thank you Christine for saving my life, my name and my family, I am forever grateful.

Cares about peoples lives

Christine is the best criminal lawyer you can hire. She knows the law and your rights, and understands how to fight for what's best. My daughter made some very grave mistakes, and almost ruined her life. Christine not only defended her but helped her to keep her self esteem and turn her life aroun...d, and got her a second chance. She changed the course of our lives. There aren't many people these days that care more than just doing the job, but Christine honestly cares about the lives of her clients.

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in San Antonio.

I am a Marine Corps Veteran that caught a possession of a prohibited firearm class 3 felony. i was very concerned about how this charge was going to be prosecuted but from day one Christine ensured me that she had me covered. Her confidence and attention to detail inspired a sense of calm I hadn't fe...lt in a while. Christine was true to her word and worked round the clock keeping in constant contact with me. At no time did I ever feel that i was in poor hands or that i ever had to initiate contact. Through her hard work and diligence Christine actually was able to resolve my case and end my nightmare. I highly recommend hiring this lawyer cause she will work tirelessly on your case to ensure the best outcome possible.
