Marco Antonio Cepeda
About Marco
Biography
I love being a family law attorney. I have extensive experience with most family law issues ranging from divorces, child custody disputes, child support disputes, and adoptions. Because of my successful results many of my clients have been referrals from previous satisfied clients. I am originally from El Paso, Texas and I am the youngest son of Mexican immigrants. I first came to San Antonio in 2004 to attend university and graduated from St. Mary’s University School of Law. During my time at St. Mary’s, I volunteered as a student attorney helping indigent clients in family matters. This is when I became passionate about family law. I saw the hardships and injustices many people go through during a divorce or in suits involving children. It was these experiences that inspired me to pursue a career in family law. As a devoted husband and proud father, I know just how personal and stressful family law issues can be. That is why I fight for each of my clients to get the best possible results. I am also an adjunct professor at Our Lady of the Lake University teaching mock trials. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, reading and playing the guitar.

Excellent job
Mr Cepeda did a great job on my case. He was there from day one. He showed to all my court dates. He informed me of any changes as my case progressed. Case was totally dismissed and right before the holidays. It was a great feeling. I've heard cases can sometimes be dragged out due to holidays and ...

Extremely Satisfied
My experience with Marco was extremely helpful thanks to his level of professionalism but more importantly his human compassion. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. From the beginning he was very prompt about returning my messages and making my case a priority all the way through the end.
