Protecting Your Career, Reputation & Family
Laredo Lawyers Serving Law Enforcement Officers Throughout South Texas
At Altgelt Law Office, P.C., we understand a truth that civilian law firms often overlook: for a peace officer, there is no such thing as a "private" legal matter. A divorce, a financial dispute, or a quarrel with a neighbor doesn't just necessarily stay in the personal realm; it can be weaponized against your security clearance, your TCOLE (Texas Commission on Law Enforcement) certification, and your standing with Internal Affairs.
What makes our firm unique is our dual-lens approach. Led by former Webb County prosecutor George Altgelt, we don’t just handle the legal mechanics of your personal case; we simultaneously analyze how every move affects your professional status.
We provide discreet, high-stakes advocacy designed to insulate your badge from your personal life, so that a temporary personal crisis does not become a permanent career-ending one.

Reputation Monitoring & Confidentiality
In the close-knit law enforcement community of Laredo and Webb County, a rumor can be as damaging as a formal allegation. We prioritize extreme discretion and proactive reputation management.
Whether you are facing a false accusation from a member of the public or a smear campaign during a contentious personal dispute, we act quickly to stop the spread of misinformation. We draw on specialized investigators to gather the facts and, when necessary, pursue legal action to protect your name, character, and the integrity of your service record.
Security Clearance Implications
For our federal clients, including Border Patrol and DHS agents, a personal legal issue is a "reporting requirement" that can trigger a formal statement of reasons for revoking a security clearance. Financial instability, arrests, or even specific foreign associations can be flagged under the adjudicative guidelines.
We advise you on the critical timing of disclosures and build a mitigation strategy to show that your personal situation does not compromise your reliability or judgment. Our goal is to resolve the underlying issue in a way that satisfies federal investigators and keeps you on the line.

"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.
