Amazing lawyer

Zoe is an AMAZING person and an OUTSTANDING lawyer. I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

Coming from my first, but very major charges, Zoe came to my aid quickly through a referral. Admittingly she told me her full background without any smoke and mirrors and I could see that she was a good person and would do what it took to raise my chances of winning. As the time passed, Zoe proved to be very available day and night and listened to everything I had concerns with. She would respond quickly and efficiently. Her rates were very reasonable and I believe she went above and beyond and will continue for any further law needs. Forever in my speed dial. :)

Don’t get railroaded. Hire someone on your side.

If you’re visiting this site for a criminal matter, you are dealing with something very serious and important to you. You should find a criminal defense lawyer who takes it equally seriously.

In our system, the only person looking entirely out for you is your criminal defense lawyer. And once you hire a criminal defense lawyer, that person should spring into action to be a barrier between you and the people trying to accuse you of a crime and throw you in a cage.

If you have recently been arrested or believe you are the target of a police investigation, get pro-active. Don’t wait for a court date to creep up or a police officer to knock on your door.

Call me today so that we can confidentially discuss your case and determine the next best steps.

I will handle your criminal misdemeanor or felony in Bexar County, Medina County, Wilson County, Atacosa County, Kendall County, Comal County, Guadalupe County, and the surrounding areas.

Amazing lawyer

I love that she’s a public defender, but honestly she was more than that. She took my case just as serious if not more serious than a $10,000 lawyer. In other words I would of paid every dime if she wasn’t court appointed. She was a lawyer and a friend who saw not a case but a person behind it. She gave me back freedom that was unfairly taken and showed me a side of the Justice system that people forget. She is exactly what it needed and I’m Forever grateful for everything she did.
