I'm extremely grateful to Mr. Altgelt for his exceptional work in getting my Class A misdemeanor case dismissed. He's an outstanding attorney who truly delivered, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. Thanks to his efforts, I can now put this behind me and move forward with my life. Again, I would 1000000% recommend Mr. Altgelt; he is the best in Laredo.
Ricardo Zepeda
One of the best attorneys in the nation
George is not only one of the best attorneys in all of South Texas but arguably one of the best attorneys in the entire nation. If you need a trial lawyer, this is the man to hire. I hired George Altgelt to defend me on a felony case. Having two prior convictions, I was looking at serious time. George not only defended me vigorously but also let me have input in our defense strategy, even though at the end of the day I left it up to him. After watching bodycam footage and reading arrest reports, he was able to discover many errors and inconsistencies that resulted in my case being dismissed. I can’t thank George enough, along with his assistant, Roberto Barrera. Thank you very much.

They fight for your life!
I can personally share a testimonial regarding the integrity, honesty, security, and reliability with the Altgelt Law Firm. I was in desperate need of a high-powered attorney that would really fight for my life. This reason being because I had already made bad choices when I was younger and was facing 25 yrs-life this last time. I thought my life was over with and God brought Mr. Altgelt and his dream team to my rescue. They say what they do and do what they say! I walked away with miraculous results and thank God that I am free to even write this review! Mr. Altgelt is not your typical attorney he is the best in my eyes and I am living proof of this. He has the best staff that will answer your calls and be there to help at the drop of a dime. I wish I could put more stars on this review because 5 stars just isn't enough. If you find yourself in legal issues you won't regret hiring the Altgelt Law Office! You will have the elite with you when you have Mr. Altgelt!

What happens during a criminal trial?
During a criminal trial, both the prosecution and the defense present evidence and arguments. It involves jury selection, opening statements, witness testimonies, cross-examinations, closing arguments, and jury deliberation. The verdict is delivered based on the evidence presented. Our team will guide you through every step of the process.
What is a plea bargain?
A plea bargain is an agreement between you and the prosecutor where you plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a reduced sentence or dropping other charges. It can be a strategic decision to avoid trial, but it's important to discuss the implications with your attorney before agreeing.
