About Jones & De La Garza

Aggressive Defense. Strategic Advocacy. Proven Results.

At Jones & De La Garza, we understand that hiring a criminal defense attorney is often one of the most difficult decisions a person will ever make.

An accusation can feel isolating. Overwhelming. Immediate.

Our role is to bring clarity, strategy, and strength to that moment.

Based in San Antonio, Jones & De La Garza represents individuals throughout Texas facing serious criminal charges at trial and on appeal in both State and Federal court. We are deeply committed to protecting the constitutional rights that stand between citizens and the power of the State.

Why We Do This Work

We believe the justice system only works when defense counsel is prepared, informed, and unafraid to challenge the prosecution’s theory.

We truly believe that every case represents a human being — a family — a future that deserves protection and we take that responsibility seriously.

A Different Kind of Criminal Defense

What sets our firm apart is the depth of our legal analysis and our passion to represent our clients as people, and not just another case.

In addition to trial defense, we handle criminal appeals and post-conviction writs, including Article 11.07 habeas corpus applications and federal habeas proceedings. That experience gives us a comprehensive understanding of how cases are reviewed, where errors occur, and how constitutional violations impact outcomes.

We approach trial work with appellate precision. If trial does not go the way we hoped, our goal is to set our clients up with a record that has preserved error to hopefully get the case overturned on appeal. While we are working to protect your trial rights, we are also working to protect your appellate rights as well.

From evidentiary objections to jury instructions, we are thinking not only about the present moment — but about protecting our clients at every stage of litigation.

What Clients Can Expect

When you hire Jones & De La Garza, you can expect:

  • Careful review of every detail
  • Direct and honest communication
  • Strategic motion practice
  • Thorough preparation
  • Respect for your case and your future

We do not treat cases as files. We treat them as matters of consequence.

From our historic downtown San Antonio office, we stand ready to defend, advocate, and protect no matter the allegation against you.

Because when everything feels uncertain, your defense should not be.
