4 Practice Disciplines

Criminal Defense & Constitutional Advocacy

Defending Constitutional Rights in Texas Municipal, County & District Courts

Facing criminal charges in Texas places an individual's freedom, reputation, employment, and constitutional liberties under direct threat from the formidable resources of state or federal prosecutors. Under the Texas Penal Code and the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, criminal allegations range from Class C misdemeanors through first-degree and capital felonies that carry severe mandatory prison sentences and life-altering collateral consequences.

Effective criminal defense requires immediate intervention and proactive constitutional scrutiny. Seasoned Texas criminal defense attorneys examine every phase of the state's case: evaluating whether law enforcement had reasonable suspicion for initial traffic stops, probable cause for warrantless searches or arrests, adherence to Miranda warnings, chain of custody for physical evidence, and compliance with statutory blood and breath testing protocols. Early defense representation allows counsel to engage prosecutors before grand jury indictments, negotiate bond reductions at magistrate hearings, file motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence, and present robust defenses before Texas juries.

Texas Family Law & Domestic Relations

Protecting Parental Rights, Children & Marital Assets under the Texas Family Code

Family law matters are among the most emotionally challenging and legally intricate disputes an individual can face in the Texas legal system. Governed primarily by the Texas Family Code, family jurisprudence balances statutory rules with the discretionary equitable authority of family district court judges. Key issues center around the dissolution of marriage, complex financial divisions, and safeguarding the physical and psychological well-being of minor children.

Texas is a community property state. Under Texas Family Code § 3.002, all property acquired by either spouse during marriage is presumed to be community property subject to a "just and right division" upon divorce, unless proven by clear and convincing evidence to be separate property. In matters affecting the parent-child relationship (SAPCR), Texas courts prioritize the "best interest of the child" standard under § 153.002. Navigating temporary orders hearings, standard possession orders, expanded possession schedules, child support guidelines, protective orders, and mediation requires strategic, compassionate, and unwavering legal counsel.

Representation through original petition filings, temporary restraining orders (TROs), temporary orders hearings, mandatory mediation, and final trial proceedings in Texas family courts.

Dedicated family law attorneys provide compassionate guidance and strategic trial advocacy to protect your parental bonds, financial future, and family well-being.

United States Immigration & Nationality Law

Navigating USCIS, Consular Processing & Removal Defense in Texas

Immigration law is an exclusively federal practice that touches the lives of thousands of families and businesses across Texas. Because immigration law is governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and federal administrative regulations, attorneys represent clients before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) immigration courts, and U.S. consulates globally.

In a state with extensive international trade and vibrant immigrant communities, immigration counsel is vital for preserving family unity and securing legal status. Legal representation encompasses family-based immigrant visa petitions, green card adjustments of status, naturalization and citizenship interviews, waivers of inadmissibility, DACA renewals, affirmative and defensive asylum petitions, and bonded removal defense in Texas detention facilities.

Key Legal Matters & Services in Immigration Law

Family-Based Petitions & Green Cards

Filing Form I-130 petitions for spouses, parents, and children of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, followed by Adjustment of Status (AOS) or consular processing.

Asylum & Humanitarian Relief Applications

Guiding clients through credible fear interviews, affirmative asylum filings before USCIS, defensive asylum in court, and U-Visas for crime victims.

Citizenship & Naturalization (Form N-400)

Preparing naturalization packages, addressing continuous residence inquiries, tax compliance, and representation during USCIS examiner interviews.

Employment & Investor Visas (H-1B, L-1, E-2)

Securing H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, and E-2 investor visas for professionals, managers, and multinational executives operating in Texas.

Personal Injury Law

Civil Tort Claims, Negligence & Physical Injury Recovery in Texas

In Texas, personal injury law provides a critical legal pathway for individuals who have suffered bodily harm, emotional trauma, or catastrophic losses due to the negligence, carelessness, or intentional misconduct of another party. Under Texas civil tort law and the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, injured victims have the legal right to pursue full compensation for their economic damages—such as emergency medical treatment, surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, and lost past and future wages—as well as non-economic damages including physical pain, mental anguish, physical impairment, and disfigurement.

Texas operates under a modified comparative fault rule (proportionate responsibility under Chapter 33 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code). This means an injured plaintiff can recover damages as long as their share of liability is 50% or less, though their financial recovery is reduced by their allocated percentage of fault. Navigating insurance claims against major carriers requires rigorous case building: securing police crash reports, obtaining black-box telematics, interviewing witnesses, subpoenaing surveillance footage, consulting independent medical and accident reconstruction experts, and preparing compelling trial exhibits for Texas county and district courts.

Key Legal Matters & Services in Personal Injury

Motor Vehicle & Commercial Trucking Collisions

Comprehensive representation for commercial 18-wheeler collisions, delivery fleet crashes, car wrecks, motorcycle collisions, and rideshare (Uber/Lyft) accidents across Texas interstates (I-35, I-10, I-45).

Premises Liability & Property Hazards

Pursuing negligent property owners, commercial landlords, retail stores, and hotels for hazardous conditions, inadequate security, slip and falls, structural collapses, and dog attacks under Texas premises liability law.

Wrongful Death & Survival Actions

Representing surviving spouses, children, and parents under the Texas Wrongful Death Act to secure financial stability and accountability following fatal negligence.

Workplace & Industrial Job Site Accidents

Legal representation for non-subscriber workplace accidents, refinery explosions, drilling rig failures, and construction site incidents across Texas industrial sectors.

Confronting commercial insurance adjusters attempting to undervalue, delay, or deny valid claims, advancing to jury trials when settlement negotiations fail.

“I'd like to thank the entire firm for their hard work regarding my removal proceedings case that seemed nearly impossible to win. I was required to show up for my individual hearing this March . Attorneys Felix & Miguel filed a motion to dismiss my case which in such a short amount of time seemed impossible to even receive a response before the court date . We submitted the motion two weeks ago and today it was the judge GRANTED the motion to dismiss !!! I am beyond grateful for all their support and effort . I'd also like to thank Paralegal Alejandra for all her patience and support ! She was very helpful throughout this process and kept us updated with everything happening . I am still in disbelief on how quick things moved in such a short amount of time. I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of a firm who will truly break it down for you with all honesty. I'd also like to mention they are very understanding with payments and will work out a plan for you . I am now looking forward to continue my path for hopefully residency in the future !! Thank you from the Cruz family ”

Response from Office:

Ana, reading your message brought a big smile to our team. Removal proceedings can feel overwhelming, especially with an individual hearing approaching, and we knew how important that motion to dismiss was for you and your family. When the judge granted it, we were just as excited as you were. Felix and Miguel worked diligently on the strategy, and Alejandra will be so happy to know her patience and updates made a difference for you. Thank you for trusting us with such an important immigration matter. We look forward to continuing to support you as you pursue residency and build your future.

“I had a great experience working with Alex Presti and his firm, especially his paralegal Enjoli. They were amazing, easy to talk to, and made everything very clear throughout the entire process. I started my case at the end of December, and as of yesterday, I received notice that my case has been approved.nnI truly couldn't be happier with the outcome and the support I received. If you're looking for an attorney who is efficient, responsive, and gets results quickly, Alex Presti is definitely the right choice. I wouldn't choose another attorney in the future and would confidently recommend him to anyone who needs legal help.”

Response from Office:

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear that Alex and Enjoli made the process clear and easy to navigate from start to finish.

“We reached out to The Presti Law Firm when my husband was in immigration detention in Texas. It was one of the most difficult periods of our lives, and we felt completely overwhelmed and without options.nnFiling a Habeas Corpus petition became our only real hope. Felix, our attorney, filed the Habeas in federal court, and soon after filing, the case began moving forward. Seeing progress so quickly gave our family the first real sense of hope after a long period of fear and uncertainty.nnThroughout this process, Alejandro, the legal assistant, stayed in contact with us, answered our questions, and kept me informed. That communication meant so much during such a stressful and emotional time.nnIn the end, my husband was released. For our family, this was not just a legal result -- it meant bringing a husband and father back home.nnWe are truly grateful for their professionalism, dedication, and the care they showed during one of the hardest moments of our lives. We will always remember what this meant for our family.”

Response from Office:

Shahnoza, reading your words means more to us than we can fully express. We know how frightening and overwhelming immigration detention can be for a family, and we are honored that you trusted The Presti Law Firm during such a critical time. Filing a federal Habeas Corpus petition is never a small step, and we are grateful you recognized the work Felix put into moving the case forward so quickly. We are also glad Alejandro was able to stay closely connected with you throughout the process, because clear communication matters deeply when everything feels uncertain. Hearing that your husband is back home where he belongs is exactly why we do this work in immigration law. Thank you for allowing us to stand with your family during such a difficult chapter.
