Facing criminal charges can be one of the most stressful experiences a person or family can go through. The legal system can feel overwhelming, and the consequences of a criminal accusation may impact your freedom, reputation, and future.
At Argüelles & Lambert, the focus is not just on cases; it’s on people. Based in San Antonio, Texas, the firm is dedicated to providing strong, compassionate legal representation to individuals and families navigating difficult legal challenges.
Founded on the belief that every person deserves to be heard and properly defended, Argüelles & Lambert works to protect the rights of clients across Texas through strategic and client-centered legal advocacy.
A Criminal Defense Law Firm Focused on Protecting Your Rights
Every legal matter represents a real person whose life may be affected by the outcome of a case. At Argüelles & Lambert, the attorneys approach every situation with three guiding principles: purpose, strategy, and compassion.
- Purpose means fighting for the rights of individuals who may feel overlooked or powerless within the justice system.
- Strategy means carefully evaluating every legal detail of a case and developing a strong plan of defense.
- Compassion means recognizing that behind every legal issue there is a person or family dealing with uncertainty and stress.
This philosophy allows the Argüelles & Lambert law firm to provide personalized legal representation while remaining deeply committed to protecting the interests of their clients.
Our Story: Advocating for Clients Since 2017
Argüelles & Lambert was founded in 2017 by attorneys Rolando Argüelles and Philip Lambert with a clear mission: to deliver high-quality legal representation with a strong focus on client care and accessibility.
As a smaller law firm, Argüelles & Lambert is able to provide a level of personal attention that many larger firms cannot. Clients work directly with experienced attorneys who are actively involved in the details of their cases.
Since its founding, the firm has handled hundreds of criminal and civil matters, ranging from misdemeanor and felony charges to complex civil issues such as estate planning and probate matters.
Regardless of the legal challenge, the firm remains committed to treating every client with dignity, respect, and determination.
Areas of Legal Representation by Argüelles & Lambert Law Firm
Argüelles & Lambert represents individuals and families across Texas in several key areas of law. Each case is approached with a personalized legal strategy designed to protect the client’s rights and interests.
Misdemeanors
In Texas, misdemeanors are divided into three categories: Class A, Class B, and Class C.
Examples of misdemeanor offenses may include:
- Certain theft offenses
- Minor assault cases
- Disorderly conduct
- Driving-related offenses
- Speeding tickets
Legal representation is important to protect your record and your rights.
Felonies
Felonies are more serious criminal charges that can result in substantial penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and significant fines.
Texas categorizes felonies into different levels depending on the severity of the offense, including:
- State jail felonies
- Third-degree felonies
- Second-degree felonies
- First-degree felonies
Because felony charges carry severe consequences, having a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney is critical when facing these types of accusations.
Expunctions
An expunction is a legal process that allows certain individuals to remove arrests or charges from their criminal record under Texas law.
Clearing a criminal record can help individuals move forward with their lives by improving opportunities related to employment, housing, and education. However, not everyone qualifies for an expunction, and the process requires proper legal guidance.
Juvenile Law
Juvenile cases involve individuals under the age of 17 who have been accused of criminal offenses. These cases require careful legal handling because the consequences can affect a young person’s future.
