A True Professional

The person you should call if you need an attorney in San Antonio. Mr. Barranco discussed the two issues about which I had questions in non-legal, easy-to-understand language and his advice and suggestions were well thought out and sensible. He listened, was interested in my situation and responded... in a way that let me know he cared and had my interest as his uppermost priority. I would recommend Mr. Barranco as legal counsel without any hesitation whatsoever. And, in addition, he is just a very nice guy.

Great Advocate in Time of Need

Mr. Barranco provides excellent legal counsel at a bargain price. After an uninsured driver rear-ended my vehicle in San Marcos, Texas, David helped us recover my losses without charging an exorbitant fee. He defended my sister on a misdemeanor charge; when he established her innocence the court dism...issed it. David may be the most experienced and effective Alamo-Heights based trial lawyer. Mr. Barranco helped my family through very difficult situations and we will always be grateful for his good advice.

Attorney with integrity; reliable, focused, and efficient.

Mr. Barranco helped us execute a real estate transaction in Alamo Heights, Texas. He was knowledgeable, helpful, attentive, and efficient. Instead of running up big fees, David is the rare lawyer who works to solve problems quickly and inexpensively.
