Former Prosecutors Prepare Your Defense for the Courtroom
At Calfas Law Group, PLLC, we represent clients in the full range of criminal cases, from misdemeanor defense to serious federal charges. We develop a defense strategy around the charge, available evidence, court status, prior record, and the client’s objectives.
In San Antonio, people facing criminal charges benefit from our familiarity with the local court system and our understanding of what judges and prosecutors in Bexar County expect. Our attorneys have represented clients during hearings, pretrial motions, and trials across local courtrooms, including Bexar County District Court and San Antonio Municipal Court. Because each charge can bring unique procedures or deadlines, we explain how the process works locally and what to expect at each stage.
We take the time to get to know each client and develop a defense tailored to the circumstances of the case. This includes evaluating diversion programs and other alternative resolutions that may be available through local judges or the District Attorney’s Office.
Why You Should Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney
Criminal charges can require decisions about pretrial motions, negotiations, and trial, not just whether to accept a plea agreement. Our team consists of seasoned litigators and former prosecutors who prepare cases for courtroom litigation when necessary. One of our attorneys presided over and tried more than 260 cases to jury verdict while serving as a County Court Judge.
We carefully investigate the details of your case, including police procedures, witness statements, and the official charges filed under Texas law. Clients receive a thorough case review and straightforward guidance about possible options and next steps. That review can include questions about a stop, search, arrest, interrogation, or evidence collection.
Consider these important reasons for hiring an experienced criminal law attorney in San Antonio:
Understanding local legal procedures helps inform a defense strategy that accounts for courtroom expectations in Bexar County.
Reviewing evidence and charges helps identify factual and legal issues that may affect the defense strategy.
Evaluating diversion programs can help determine whether an alternative resolution may be available based on the charge and case circumstances.
Considering expunction and record sealing can help clarify whether a client may qualify under Texas law after a case disposition.
We review the state’s allegations for errors or weaknesses and keep you informed of your legal options throughout the process. If you have been arrested, contact us to discuss your situation and the decisions ahead.

A criminal defense attorney is a lawyer who defends individuals or organizations accused of committing crimes. Their primary responsibility is to provide legal representation and advocate for their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process.
When you work with our criminal defense attorneys in San Antonio, you benefit from local insight into how offenses are charged, what defenses courts recognize, and how prosecutors approach agreements. Our work also accounts for pretrial options, the local court calendar, and common hearing timelines in Bexar County. We keep clients updated on each step from arrest through indictment and prioritize regular communication so that you know what is happening and why it matters.
Here are some key tasks and responsibilities of a criminal defense attorney:
Client consultation: We meet with clients to discuss their cases, gather information, and provide legal advice. We assess the details and explain the possible consequences and options.
Case investigation: We investigate the circumstances of the alleged crime. This may involve gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, reviewing police reports, and examining relevant records.
Legal strategy development: Based on our investigation and case analysis, we develop strategies specific to the client’s needs. These may include identifying defenses, legal arguments, or negotiation tactics.
Court representation: We represent clients in court, including arraignments, pretrial hearings, trials, and appeals. We present arguments, cross-examine witnesses, and make motions on the client’s behalf.
Negotiation with prosecutors: We assess whether negotiations with prosecutors align with the facts of the case and the client’s goals.
Legal research and analysis: We research relevant laws, precedents, and rules that apply. This work informs our motions, arguments, and trial preparation.
Client counseling: Throughout the process, we advise clients about possible outcomes, prepare them for court appearances, and address concerns or questions.
