Trial Bureau Chief

Luis Baez

Former Felony Prosecutor · Elite Vehicular Crimes Team

When you step into court you don't want to be alone. You need someone who's been there and done that. Prosecutors know if your lawyer is afraid of going to trial — so we prepare every case to be trial-ready from day one. That approach is exactly what gets the best result during negotiations with the government.

I was born and raised in Houston, and helping people navigate the criminal justice system is what I do every day. As Trial Bureau Chief I get to see our client's face when we deliver a second chance and restore a vision for their future. We're ready for whatever comes — inside the courtroom and out.

We're here when you're ready, — Luis Baez
