When you're facing criminal charges, you deserve someone who understands the system from every angle and knows how to fight for you. I’m Pedro Villalobos, and I’ve spent my career on the front lines of the Texas criminal legal system. From misdemeanors to felonies, from juvenile matters to complex family violence cases, I’ve handled them all. I bring real courtroom experience and leadership to every case I take on because your future deserves nothing less.
I grew up in Houston and earned my undergraduate from The University of Texas at Austin, before graduating from The University of Texas School of Law. I began my legal career at the Travis County Attorney’s Office, where I worked in the Intake Division, the Trial Court Division, and served as a Team Lead in the Family Violence Division. I’ve led litigation teams, trained prosecutors, and helped draft internal procedures to improve how the system treats people facing criminal charges.
At the Travis County District Attorney’s Office, I handled felony-level family violence cases and served as a felony animal cruelty prosecutor. I also worked in the Juvenile Division, where I handled cases involving young people. These roles required precision, preparation, and the ability to manage sensitive, high-stakes matters.
Most recently, I led the Early Case Review and Counsel At First Appearance Division at the County Attorney’s Office, where I supervised attorneys reviewing every Class A and B misdemeanor arrest and cite and release in Travis County. I worked closely with law enforcement, judges, and local officials.
Outside of the courtroom, I served as President of AFSCME Local 1624, the largest public employee union in Central Texas, where I advocate for workers on everything from pay and benefits to workplace safety. I also serve on the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Board.
I’m fluent in Spanish and proud to represent clients from all backgrounds. As a former DACA recipient and Dreamer, I’ve experienced the legal system from multiple sides. That lived experience shapes my approach. I don’t just know the law, I know how to use it to protect your rights, your future, and your story.
If you're facing charges, I’m ready to stand beside you. Let’s solve this together.
