The De La Garza Law Firm, P.C.

“I can’t stress enough how grateful I am to have had this Law firm working on my case. Their professionalism and genuine passion for the legal process and compassion for me as their client was exceptional. Open and transparent communication every step of the way during a frightening journey in the courts system made my life so much easier. In my opinion, a true champion organization for the legal process. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing the very best of what you don’t expect from a Law Firm. “

Sub-par at best - Rafael was hired to represent me in a funeral home negligence case. The contract was signed 11/9/21 - This was a 40/60 contingency case. The original petition was not filed until 3/14/22. 4 months later. It took a year for him to get a court date and two years to figure out that the defendant did not have insurance. Once he found this out, he was very slothful with the case. Furthermore, after finding this out, rather than representing me in deposition, he had his sister do so. Frankly, other than emails I never spoke with Rafael after the initial consultation when he was eager to get me under contract. Previous to this, as part of the process it I had asked a question regarding the law for funeral homes to maintain insurance. He assured me it was not legal, when I asked him if it wasn't legal then why did the TX Funeral Service not find this - he then deferred to an "expert" and advised me that in fact they (funeral homes) in TX are not required to carry insurance. As an attorney representing funeral home negligence cases in said state, I would expect any attorney to be knowledgeable about basic facts. The case continued. After I requested a continuance, he asked to withdraw which I agreed to as I had not been pleased with his representation. However, when he withdrew he did not advise me that I would be bare and a per se litigant. Additionally there were several other areas when he was not competent and or missed important and relevant details. Although there was no insurance, there was no attempt to ascertain assets, or even file a Lis Pendens (preventing the defendant from disposing of assets during the duration of the case. He's quick to get you under contract but that's about the only thing he's quick with, except divesting efforts when there is not big insurance policy. I'd like to think that 2 years is an excessive amount of time to determine there is no insurance. In my experience, when you do a service you want to be clear about how you get paid. Highly dissatisfied.

Rafael de la Garza team was the best and most positive experience with an attorney I have ever had, my lawyer worked with me throughout the whole process, I knew each step along the way. She kept close communication with me at all the time and was actually concerned about me. She was extremely helpful and attentive, she always stayed on top of things, they definitely know what they are doing . I'm very thankful to had them as my attorney they did an amazing job! Their service was totally above my expectations, I would highly recommend their services, their concern is genuine!

This was my first time ever dealing with a criminal case and I was incredibly afraid. I was so fortunate to find Rafael De La Garza and his team. They immediately call me back when I left a message asking for help with my case; Rafael then immediately find out information and who the judge was- I felt safe and comfortable day 1. He and his team then amazingly got my case dismissed within 30 days. I am so grateful that I found this firm. While I hope I never have to hire them again, I would in a heartbeat if I was in trouble with the law. Thank you Rafael and your amazing team. MT

I can’t stress enough how amazing this law firm is. Marina De La Garza went above and beyond as my lawyer. She was on top of everything with my case, let me know everything that was going on with my upcoming court date, advised me what to do to help my case and ultimately got my misdemeanor case dismissed. She was very understanding, very helpful, and very right to the point. She was honestly my hero and I cannot thank her enough. If you find yourself in any type of trouble, this is the law firm for you.
