Pleasanton Criminal Defense Lawyer

Pleasanton sits at the crossroads of US-281 and I-37, which means a lot of the arrests we see here start on the highway: a traffic stop that turns into a DWI, a search of a vehicle, a drug charge on a routine drive south of San Antonio. If that’s how your case began, the details of that stop matter enormously, and they’re often where a good defense starts.

Barrera Defense handles criminal cases for people in Pleasanton and throughout Atascosa County. Even though Pleasanton is the county’s largest city, your criminal case doesn’t stay there. Atascosa County cases are heard at the county courthouse in Jourdanton, just down the road. That’s a courthouse we know, and knowing how a specific county court actually works is a real advantage over a firm handling your case sight-unseen.

Our lead attorney, Stephen Barrera, has defended criminal cases in Atascosa County for more than 20 years, and as a former prosecutor he knows exactly how the State builds a case and where it breaks down. We defend DWI, drug possession and distribution, assault, theft, and felony charges. If you’re facing a charge in Pleasanton, call (830) 296-6500 for a free, confidential consultation. We answer 24/7.
