Jourdanton Criminal Defense Lawyer

Jourdanton is the seat of Atascosa County, which means if you’ve been charged with a crime anywhere in the county, this is where your case is decided. The historic Atascosa County Courthouse in Jourdanton is where the prosecutors file, where the judges preside, and where your future gets argued. Being charged in the same town as the courthouse doesn’t make it any less frightening, but it does mean the lawyer you choose should be someone at home in that building.

That’s us. Barrera Defense represents people accused of crimes in Jourdanton and across Atascosa County, from first-time DWIs to serious felonies. We build every defense around how the Atascosa County courts actually operate, not how a firm from somewhere else assumes they do.

Stephen Barrera, who leads the firm, has defended clients in the Atascosa County courts for more than 20 years, and as a former prosecutor he knows the system from the inside out and uses that to take apart the case against you. Your first conversation with us is free and confidential, and we answer the phone around the clock. Call (830) 296-6500.
