Nothing is more satisfying than hearing the words, "Not guilty," which is why I thoroughly prepare for every trial. I look at the facts: the motives of witnesses, the credibility of witnesses, the scene of events, reports of law enforcement and experts. I pick apart the prosecution's case. Preparation and research is key to success. Call me.

After dealing with a lawyer who would never return calls or emails (even after months of trying to connect), it was refreshing to meet Mr. Sifuentes to discuss my son's case. He was humble and straight-forward, didn't rush us through the meeting, and clearly explained our options. We haven't yet res...

My ordeal started in April of 2013, when I was falsely accused of Indecency with a child. I originally hired another attorney in San Antonio who guided me through the first few months.

In March 2015, I found myself in need of an attorney. I searched and searched but couldn't find anyone willing to help me fight a very powerful corporation. I was about to give up when a friend told me about Ben Sifuentes. I was very skeptical when I first walked into Ben's office. I had been to so m...

We were well prepared. I walked ...

"Ben is a well respected Texas labor lawyer. He has extensive experience protecting employees against harassment and discrimination in the workplace."
"When I was in the White Collar Crime Section at the Bexar County District Attorney's Office I had the opportunity to work with all the top San Antonio Criminal Defense Attorneys. Ben was by far the most prepared and aggressive attorney I encountered. When it came time for me to decide what attorney I wanted to practice with, the first name that came to mind was Ben's. I enjoy being Ben's law partner and enthusiastically endorse his work."
"I have had the opportunity to work with Mr. Sifuentes on several criminal cases. He has proven himself each time to be thorough and precise in his trial investigation and preparation. I would recommend Mr. Sifuentes to any client looking for determined and dedicated legal representation."
