I am a lifelong Texan who grew up in the area. After law school I opened my own practice because I wanted to practice law according to my conscience. I am a strong conservative who believes that individual liberties are to be protected at all times. I enjoy representing individuals who need assistance in the courts; trial is one of the most enjoyable aspects of my practice. Additionally, I take great pride in helping people craft resolutions to their problems through mediating cases. I have enjoyed growing my practice to include my long-time interest in firearms. My philosophy is to represent my clients using legal knowledge and skill tempered with reason and wisdom so that at the resolution of the case my clients have understood the process, been zealously represented, and have obtained the best possible result given their individual circumstances.

I’m a former Texas prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer based in San Antonio who now defends individuals facing criminal charges across Bexar County and surrounding areas. I know how the State builds its cases—because I once built them myself. That insight is now your advantage when your freedom, reputation, and future are at stake. As the founder of Setra Law Firm, P.C. and manager of San Antonio DWI Defense Law Firm, PLLC, I focus exclusively on criminal and DWI defense. My approach is strategic, trial-ready, and tailored to each client. Every case deserves a personalized plan built on preparation, precision, and determined advocacy. Whether it’s a first-time misdemeanor or a serious felony, I develop strategies designed to achieve the best possible resolution. You’ll work directly with me—not layers of staff. My concierge-level service keeps clients informed, supported, and confident about every decision we make together. My experience as a prosecutor taught me how police reports are written, how evidence can be challenged, and where weaknesses appear in the State’s case. I use that knowledge to craft effective defenses—through negotiation, pre-trial motions, or trial when necessary. From assault and family-violence, drug possession and delivery, theft and fraud, and probation violations, to DWI defense, ALR hearings, and record clearing, my mission is simple: protect your rights, your record, and your future. If you’ve been arrested or are under investigation, contact my office for a free and confidential case evaluation. I act quickly on bond, court settings, and protective measures. When you’re facing the State, you need counsel who understands its playbook—and knows how to take it apart from the inside out.
