Adam Setra

Facing charges? Protect your freedom with a former prosecutor on your side. When you're suddenly faced with criminal charges, fearing for your future and your family, the stakes couldn't be higher. You risk losing your professional license, career opportunities, and the ability to provide for your loved ones. In this critical moment, you need more than just a criminal defense attorney, you need a proven strategist who knows how to win against the government. I am Adam Setra, founder and lead counsel at Setra Law Firm, and my mission is simple: deliver an aggressive, uncompromising defense for my clients in San Antonio, El Paso, Midland, Odessa, Abilene, Alpine, and throughout West Texas and New Mexico.

Why Choose Setra Law Firm?

My background as a Texas prosecutor gives me a unique edge. I know the tactics used by law enforcement, the shortcuts taken by forensic labs, and the way prosecutors approach plea bargains and trials. Now, I use that insider knowledge to dismantle the same cases I once helped build. This is what we call the Prosecutor’s Edge: anticipating the State’s moves, identifying weaknesses in warrants or forensic evidence, and forcing the prosecution to react to our defense. More importantly, this insight ensures a fairer legal process for our clients, promoting justice as much as achieving a successful outcome.

Our "Living Defense" Approach

At Setra Law Firm, we don’t wait for the government to make the first move. From day one, we launch a thorough, independent investigation, so you can have peace of mind knowing your defense is proactive right from the start. We challenge every police report to ensure that any inaccuracies or biases don’t jeopardize your freedom, allowing you to focus on maintaining your day-to-day life. We audit forensic science in cases like DWI or sexual assault, so questionable evidence doesn't tarnish your reputation, protecting your career and personal life from harm. Our experts scrutinize every detail, whether it's DNA evidence or financial records in white-collar crime, so you can safeguard your future from unjust convictions and continue providing for your loved ones.

Early intervention is critical. In many state and federal felony cases, significant opportunities exist before an indictment is filed. Weeks, not months, can decide your fate. During this crucial pre-indictment window, the risks of not acting promptly include facing stronger charges, higher bail demands, and more severe conditions of release. We aggressively advocate for our clients by submitting exculpatory evidence and seeking to prevent charges from ever being filed, offering a proactive approach to your defense.

If your case goes to trial, you will have a defense prepared for battle. Our reputation for being trial-ready is backed by a track record of success, including an acquittal rate of over 90% in recent high-stakes cases. Prosecutors know we won't settle for the easy way out. We fight for the best possible outcome, whether that is a dismissal, reduction, or acquittal.
