Kenedy Criminal Defense Lawyer

Kenedy sits in the middle of the Eagle Ford, and like the rest of Karnes County it has seen its quiet roads fill with oilfield traffic and its share of arrests along with it. If you’ve been charged with a crime in Kenedy, your case won’t be resolved in town. Karnes County cases are heard at the county courthouse in Karnes City, a short drive away, and that’s the courthouse your defense has to be built for.

Barrera Defense represents people from Kenedy and across Karnes County. We understand the specific pressures out here: workers far from home, a single charge that can cost you a job or a commercial license, and a system that can feel stacked against an outsider. We defend DWI, drug charges, assault, theft, and felonies, and we treat every client like a person, not a case number.

Stephen Barrera, who leads the firm, was the Karnes City Prosecutor for about five years and has defended clients across Karnes County for over two decades, so he brings both sides of the courtroom to your defense. Call (830) 296-6500 for a free, confidential consultation. We answer 24/7, because arrests don’t keep business hours.
