 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t express enough gratitude for Matt and his team! Knowing what I was about to go through, I needed to do my research when it came to lawyers. I had countless phone and  in person consultations before choosing someone to represent me. After all, I felt that the person I would choose had to be the most important thing I decided on.
In the end I chose Matt because our conversations were never generic, or textbook , they were genuine and honest. His recommended course of action truly seemed the most beneficial for me.
I could see he had my best interest at heart and that he was listening to me… and that he valued my thoughts.
I felt like I could trust him and I’m glad I went with my gut because we just wrapped up my case and it went in my favor!
Matt definitely exceeded my expectations and I’d refer him to anyone without hesitation. But, most importantly, Matt didn’t fail me, and at that time it’s what I needed the most.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after being arrested in San Antonio?

Exercise your right to remain silent, avoid discussing your case with anyone besides your attorney, and contact a defense lawyer as soon as possible. Anything you say to police can be used against you, so it’s best to wait until you have legal representation before answering questions.

What types of criminal charges do you defend against?

We defend clients facing DWI charges, weapons and firearms offenses, drug charges, assault and domestic violence allegations, and a range of other criminal matters. Every case gets an individualized defense strategy based on the specific charges and circumstances involved.

How much does hiring a defense attorney in San Antonio cost?

Costs depend on the complexity of your case, the charges involved, and whether the case goes to trial. We offer a free consultation to review your situation and give you clear, upfront guidance on fees before you commit to representation.

Can criminal charges be dismissed or reduced?

Yes, depending on the facts of your case. Outcomes can hinge on how evidence was gathered, whether your rights were respected during the arrest, and your criminal history. We routinely work to get charges reduced or dismissed when the evidence supports it.

Will a criminal conviction affect my job or future opportunities?

It can. A conviction may show up on background checks and affect employment, housing, and professional licensing. This is one of the biggest reasons to fight charges aggressively from the very beginning rather than accepting a plea without exploring your options.

How soon after an arrest should I contact a defense attorney?

As soon as possible. Early legal representation can influence bail conditions, how evidence is preserved, and the direction of plea negotiations. Contact the Gilbert Law Office right away to start protecting your rights.
