I have known Carlos for many years. If you have an employment law matter in the Rio Grande Valley, this is who I recommend. He knows the law and he knows the Valley.

I have known Carlos for twenty years and we practiced together in the mid1990s. Carlos is an innovative and resourceful employment law advocate that works tirelessly on behalf of his clients and their causes. He has served as local counsel to my firm on several occasions in the local Rio Grande Valley state and federal courts. We have been able to obtain remarkable results from both judges and juries alike in deep South Texas. If you have an employment law issue or lawsuit in the Rio Grande Valley and its surrounding areas, I encourage you to call Carlos for help.

I have worked with Carlos and have seen firsthand how well he represents his clients and the good results he obtains for them. I recommend him for employment matters and civil rights issues.

Carlos is the best. He combines those critical people skills with an Impressive breadth and depth of knowledge about employment law. He manages people well in the sense that he must understand witnesses and opposing parties and how to deal with difficult or not so difficult persons. He is very bright and has really mastered a very difficult are of law, employment law. In the Rio Grande Valley or the big cities, Carlos is one of the best.
Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community.
Trang Tran, Employment and labor Attorney on Apr 9, 2014

Carlos is a very good and conscientious labor and employment lawyer. I can attest to Carlos' effort to stay current with legal development and expend his knowledge in the field of employment law because I've witness his attendance at over 50 hours hours of continuing legal education courses. One thing that I appreciate about Carlos is is familiarity with the legal scenes and local politics that may affect a client's case in the court house. While this is more a reflection of the improper cross pollination of our legal and political system, it is important to have a local attorney like Carlos involved in any employment case filed in the Valley. Besides from the local or home town advantage, I would gladly co-counsel or refer clients to Carlos in any employment matters in Texas.
