About Our Firm
San Antonio Criminal Defense Law Firm
To give our clients the best possible representation, our law firm handles a limited number of cases each year. This allows us to concentrate on these few cases and provide personal attention, thorough preparation and ongoing updates. This, plus our attorneys' high level of experience in criminal law, has resulted in an enviable record of success for our clients.
Call Ray Taylor at (210) 807-9916 to arrange a free in-office consultation and case analysis. Remember, the key to successful representation is the earliest possible intervention. Ask for a lawyer immediately and then remain silent.
Experienced and knowledgeable staff and lawyers
In addition to our attorneys Ray Taylor and Phil Spicer, our clients benefit from the assistance of Sylvia Madero, a senior criminal law paralegal with 46 years experience.
