Helping People Who Can't Help Themselves

"A lot of lawyers write on their websites that they "fight" and that they work "tirelessly" for their clients. The truth is that being a lawyer is more than just fighting or working tirelessly. It's knowing what to do at the right moment to get a fantastic result for a client. ​I go to trial if I have to. I fight if I have to. But most of the time, my job is to help people who cannot help themselves."

    "He definitely will do everything he can for you"
    Mr Alexander is amazing he helped me fight my case and was able to get me out on probation when I had 2 different cases and a total of 4 felony charges he definitely will do everything he can for you
    - Sam A.
    "Alex stepped in and changed everything"
    I first hired Alex in 2017 to help my little brother with an aggravated robbery case. His court-appointed attorney wasn’t providing enough support, but Alex stepped in and changed everything. Thanks to Alex’s dedication, the case went to trial, and my brother received 8 years probation. In 2021, I needed Alex’s help again for my own case. From March 2021 to January 2024, Alex fought tirelessly, ultimately achieving a “Not Guilty” verdict. He went above and beyond, investigating every detail and standing by my side through it all. Even when the DA filed two additional cases, Alex’s hard work got them dismissed. His dedication gave me a new perspective on life.Alex isn’t just an attorney he’s like family to us. If you need a lawyer who truly cares and fights for you, I highly recommend Alex. He will always be my first choice. Thank you, Alex, for your unwavering support and determination.

Downtown Houston Trial Attorney

At our firm, we can take your case to trial in a civil or criminal court and fight for an optimum outcome. For trial attorneys, this is a primary ability and for you as a client, a primary benefit. However, much of legal representation does not depend on this ability and willingness alone. Most of the time we have found that our job is to help people who cannot help themselves. Going up against legal opponents in the local court systems is often a confusing and stressful situation in which your lack of understanding and experience puts you at a distinct disadvantage. 

You may know little to nothing of the laws, procedures, and expectations to which you are subject in any legal matter. It may feel like the deck is stacked against you. That is why you need a professional on your side who can give you the power of knowledge, the power of the protection of your rights, the power of choice in decision-making about your case, and the power of giving you a voice, whether inside or outside of the courtroom. At our firm, you will be part of the team as we work together with close personal contact throughout all phases of your case.
