What clients say
“Sinceramente El Mejor Abogado y Isabella su Asistente tmbn es La mejor ✨”
“Atty Baeza got my case dismissed! Often time we expect attorneys to always be available to answer the phone, not understanding they have a million other things to do, but he do try to call back if call is missed. But overall, the job was done!”
“Attorney Baeza is an amazing advocate for his clients, truly caring about the outcomes of their cases. He is professional, knowledgeable, and an all around great person. As an immigration attorney, it is great to find a criminal attorney that truly appreciates that our clients sometimes have mutual concerns that impact each other. I highly recommend Attorney Baeza, you will be in great hands.”
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Questions, answered
Should I talk to the police?
No. Politely decline to answer questions until your attorney is present. Anything you say can be used against you, and calls from jail are recorded.
What happens at my first court date?
The court reads your charges, you enter a plea, and the judge sets future dates. Having counsel present protects your rights and starts your defense.
Can my DWI license suspension be stopped?
You have 15 days from your arrest to request an ALR hearing to fight the suspension. Call right away so we can meet that deadline.
Can I clear my record in Texas?
Depending on how your case was resolved, you may qualify for an expunction (erasure) or an order of nondisclosure (sealing). We review your eligibility.
How much does a criminal defense lawyer cost?
It depends on the charge. We explain fees during your free case review, with no obligation.
Do you handle cases outside Austin?
Yes. We defend clients in Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop and Comal counties.
