Personal Injury Legal Services
When you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, it can be a stressful and overwhelming time. Our personal injury attorneys are here to help you navigate the legal system and fight for the compensation you deserve. We handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including:
- Car Accidents: Motor vehicle incidents are one of the leading causes of personal injury claims in Los Fresnos and surrounding areas. Whether it’s a rear-end collision on Highway 100 or a T-bone crash at a busy intersection, auto accidents often lead to serious injuries, medical expenses, and lost wages.
- Truck Accidents: With commercial traffic moving through nearby Brownsville, Harlingen, and along Highway 77, truck accidents in Los Fresnos can be especially severe. 18-wheeler crashes often result in catastrophic damage due to their size and weight. Victims of truck accidents frequently suffer long-term injuries and need aggressive legal representation.
- Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable in collisions. Even with a helmet, riders can suffer traumatic brain injuries, road rash, broken bones, and other serious harm. Motorcycle accidents in Los Fresnos are often caused by distracted or careless drivers who fail to yield or check blind spots.
- Catastrophic Injuries: Catastrophic injuries are life-altering and often permanent. These include spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), amputations, and severe burns. Victims in Los Fresnos who suffer these injuries typically require lifelong medical care, rehabilitation, and financial support.
- Wrongful Death: When negligence results in the loss of a loved one, families may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim. Whether the fatal incident involved a car crash, workplace accident, or medical negligence, these cases are emotionally and legally complex. Families in Los Fresnos can seek justice and financial relief through a compassionate legal approach.
Criminal Defense Representation
Being charged with a crime can be a life-altering experience. Our criminal defense attorneys understand the serious nature of these charges and are dedicated to protecting your rights and providing a strong defense. We represent clients in various criminal cases, such as:
- Intoxication-Related Crimes: Driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) is one of the most frequently charged offenses in Cameron County. A DWI conviction in Texas can lead to steep fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education classes, and even jail time. For repeat offenders or those involved in an accident, penalties can be even more severe. If you’ve been arrested for drunk driving in Los Fresnos, a DWI lawyer in Cameron County can evaluate your case, challenge field sobriety test results, and work to minimize the impact on your record and future.
- Drug Offenses: Drug charges in Los Fresnos range from possession of a controlled substance to drug trafficking and distribution. Even minor possession charges can carry serious penalties, especially if the arrest involves narcotics like methamphetamine, cocaine, or prescription drugs without a valid prescription. Whether you’re facing misdemeanor marijuana charges or felony drug manufacturing allegations, a Los Fresnos drug crime lawyer can protect your rights and explore defenses like illegal search and seizure.
- Theft and Property Crimes: Crimes involving theft, burglary, robbery, and vandalism can result in jail time, restitution, and a permanent criminal record that impacts employment and housing opportunities. Whether you’re accused of shoplifting or grand theft, you need a defense attorney who can investigate the facts and negotiate with prosecutors. A good Los Fresnos theft crime lawyer can help reduce charges, pursue alternatives like diversion programs, or defend your case in court.
- Assault and Violent Crimes: Assault, aggravated assault, and other violent crimes are prosecuted aggressively in Cameron County. These charges often carry felony-level consequences, including lengthy prison sentences. Even a misunderstanding or self-defense situation can result in serious charges that require a strong legal defense. If you’ve been accused of assault in Los Fresnos, it’s essential to speak with a violent crime attorney who can protect your rights and challenge the prosecution’s evidence.
- Domestic Violence: Domestic violence allegations can lead to protective orders, loss of child custody, and serious criminal penalties. In Texas, these cases are taken very seriously, and even without physical injury, a person can be arrested and charged based on a report alone. A Los Fresnos domestic violence defense attorney can examine the circumstances of your case, work to have charges dismissed or reduced, and ensure your side of the story is heard.

Mr. Pecina took care of me & my family. He treated us like we were a part of his family. I cannot stress how many different attorneys we spoke to who gave us a runaround & collected our money.
