Great Attorney

Daniel De La Garza is a great attorney and I'm glad to have him as my attorney. I had a problem with the apartment I'm supposed to move in and I ran into a problem with the property management. I hired Daniel to take care of the situation and he did a superb job. I definitely will use him again if... I run into an issue that I can't get resolved. Highly recommended...

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Daniel is a fierce advocate for his clients. I have had the opportunity to witness Daniel in action--his work ethic is relentless and he has a great understanding of the law. I highly recommend Daniel for criminal litigation, and appellate work!"

Appeals lawyer | Nov 22

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Daniel is an excellent young lawyer. He's already made a difference in Bexar County by challenging judges who've failed to treat defense counsel with respect or who've failed to follow the law. He's smart, aggressive, and wise beyond his years, probably because he worked within the courthouse before law school. Definitely a lawyer I'm glad has my back when I need him. I endorse this lawyer."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Daniel is incredibly talented and smart. I have worked with him on post convictions issues recently. Despite being a relatively new lawyer, he holds more knowledge about post conviction issues than many seasoned lawyers. I highly recommend this lawyer."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
