Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

Attorney Sylvia Cavazos is a very well-respected, aggressive and experienced criminal trial lawyer that knows the Law, knows your Defenses and Protects your Rights. She is licensed in both State and U.S. Federal Courts (Western District of Texas) and handles cases in all levels of the Criminal Justice System. When a client is first faced with having been arrested, they are confused, nervous and overwhelmed with the legal system. Ms. Cavazos explains the entire legal process, possible defenses and the trial process. The client leaves the office feeling a sense of calmness and confidence in Ms. Cavazos ability to fight for their rights. The client leaves their concerns in the hands of Ms. Cavazos knowing that she will find a strategy for their case and fight till the end.

Before opening her law practice, Ms. Cavazos worked as a Prosecutor in the Bexar County District Attorneys Office. Her 10 years experience as an Asst. D.A. speaks for itself with her high success rate in cases ranging up to First-Degree Felony cases. Ms. Cavazos worked in several areas of the District Attorneys Office, such as the Trial Division, Intake (Drug & Property) Divisions and Juvenile Divisions where she reviewed and evaluated hundreds of cases. Her trial skills and her ability to build rapport with the jury who can understand the legal defenses and relate to her client is a skill that many attorneys do not achieve in their entire careers.

Ms. Cavazos opened her law office in 2007 so that she could now represent those individuals who have been wrongfully accused of an offense and who need their rights protected. She has been on both sides of the law and knows that law enforcement officials (although not all) do violate an individuals constitutional rights and do engage in unlawful practices. She also knows from her experience as a prosecutor that witnesses also many times accuse others of a crime they did not commit. When it comes to trial preparation, Ms. Cavazos focuses on her opponents witnesses and on her artfully-prepared cross-examination of these witnesses so that the truth is finally revealed which results in the State being unable to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Attorney Cavazos is the Criminal Defense Attorney you want on your side and who will put all of her experience and knowledge to work for you.
