So grateful for the referral!

I received a tricky traffic citation that involved failure to yield to a pedestrian & Joe Aragon was so wonderful throughout the entire process. He was very present & patient and he kept me in the loop every step of the way. He got my case dismissed. I am so grateful for the referral. I would not go ...to anyone else for help! Thank you, Joe!

Best Criminal Law Attorney in Austin

I’ve used Joseph for my last three charges, and I’ve gotten the best possible outcome on all three. 10/10 best attorney I’ve ever had and I will absolutely suggest him to anyone.

Paralegal

Joe has gotten me out of so much! When I could have been on probation, he fought to have my sentenced reduced. I’ve used Joe for the past 3 offenses, and not once have I been put on probation. I will continue to refer my friends to Mr. Aragon, and he will be the only attorney I use in the future.... 10/10 absolutely recommend.

Awesome Lawyer

Joseph was there for every step of the way, he maintained a calm demeanor when explaining what steps we needed to take and that I had nothing to worry about as far as showing up for court. Considering this is the first time I've ever needed a lawyer I couldn't have asked for better one. Thank you Jos...eph for everything!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
