"The Best Choice in Laredo"
Mr. Altgelt and his associates are professionals you can trust. All my questions were answered truthfully, even if it wasn’t the answer I wanted to hear. Hands down the best choice in Laredo. -

"Fought for the truth"
I wholeheartedly recommend my friend, brother, and attorney, George Altgelt, and his outstanding team. From the beginning, they treated me like family and gave me the support and reassurance I needed during the hardest time of my life. After my weapon discharged during a struggle while I was being attacked on duty, and someone tragically lost their life, George stood by me without hesitation. He worked tirelessly, examined every detail, and fought for the truth. Ultimately, my case was dismissed. I will forever be grateful that God placed George in my path when I needed him most. He truly goes above and beyond — not just as a lawyer, but as someone who genuinely cares. Without hesitation, I highly recommend George Altgelt and his team. Thank you, my great friend.

A Defense Practice Built for Law Enforcement Professionals
Law enforcement matters demand a different level of understanding. Administrative investigations, internal agency proceedings, and criminal allegations often move quickly and quietly, but their consequences can be permanent. We understand the internal mechanics of law enforcement agencies, the pressures officers face, and the long-term implications of even a single complaint or allegation.
Led by George Altgelt, a former prosecutor with more than 20 years of legal experience, our firm approaches every matter strategically and thoroughly. We are trial-ready when necessary, but equally focused on resolving issues early and effectively when possible.
Above all, we prioritize personalized representation, not volume-based case handling. Every client receives direct attention, thoughtful counsel, and a defense strategy tailored to their career and circumstances.
We represent officers in both on-duty and off-duty matters, recognizing that off-duty incidents can carry professional consequences just as serious as duty-related allegations. Our role is to protect not only legal rights, but also professional standing, future employment opportunities, and family security.
