Signature Victories

We Deliver For Our Clients

Southern Dist. of Texas

Writ Granted

Another fantastic win for our client. Judge granted the client's immediate release, not just a bond hearing, finding that our client's constitutional rights were injured so greviously, the only proper remedy was release. Now he can be with his family and in the free world while we fight his removal case. 

Deportation Case - Feb 2026

Fort Bend County

$78,000 Settlement

Our client was seriously injured when a rideshare driver t-boned her vehicle. We pursued all available insurance coverage and held the delivery driver accountable for the crash. Through strategic negotiation, we secured a $78,000 settlement for our client. Another example of fighting for real results when rideshare companies are involved.

Auto Collision - Jan 2026

Conroe Immigration Ct

Bond Granted

Our client — a husband and father with long-time roots in our community — was pulled over at a traffic stop and turned over to ICE in an act of overpolicing. After winning Habeas relief in Federal court and securing a bond in immigration court, attorney Stephanie Pimentel and our team have brought him one step closer to home. Now he is reunited with his wife and children while we continue fighting for his legal status.

Deportation Case - Nov 2025

Harris Co 248th Dist Ct

Case Dismissed

Client was part of a group of folks who got scammed with a healthcare fraud scheme. Because the perpetrators used our client's accounts, State believed our person was complicit. With dogged persistence and after combing through literal stacks of fiancial documents and evidence, Attorney Stephanie Pimentel was able to obtain a dismissal for our client, much to his relief. 

Money Laundering - Oct 2025

Wharton Co 329th Dist Ct

Case Dismissed

Client was traveling to make a cash transaction (to buy a car). Officers- in our view- racially profiled him and pulled him over and with no probable cause searched his vehicle because he was nervous and failed to answer questions to their satisfaction. No contraband was found (no drugs, etc), just a large amount of cash, which they seized. We prepared to fight this one at trial, but on tiral week it was dismissed. 

Money Laundering - Sept 2025

San Patricio County Court

Writ Approved

We won a writ of Habeas Corpus in state court after showing that our client was never properly advised about the immigration consequences of his marijuana case. The judge agreed, erased the conviction, and allowed the case to start over with all of our client’s rights fully protected.

Poss. of MJ - Jan 2026

Southern Dist. of Texas

Writ Approved

Cedillo Law Firm won another major victory in Federal court, securing our client the right to a bond hearing. Another Federal judge sided with our client against the government attorneys and opens the courthouse doors to our client, getting him one step closer to freedom.

Deportation Case - Jan 2026

Southern District of Texas

Writ Approved

Cedillo Law Firm won a major victory in Federal court, securing our client the right to a bond hearing. This ruling opens the door to a fair chance at freedom and reinforces the importance of due process and deals a blow to ICE/DHS and government overreach.

Deportation Case - Nov 2025

Harris Co Ct 14

Case Dismissed

We set this case for trial because client knew she wasn't driving drunk, despite officer's belief and poor testing. Attorney Danny Franco took the lead and pushed for this case and, the week of trial: case dismissed. 

DWI - Oct. 2025

Harris Co 497th Dist Ct

Case Dismissed

Client had a mental breakdown, family called police to help him. Police helped by arresting him, charging a felony because at one point he grabbed a knife. Police wouldn't listen as family begged him not to be arrested. Client waited in jail for six months while we headed for trial, intent on proving his innocence.  Two days before trial: case dismissed. 

Agg Assault DW - Aug 2025

Conroe Immig Ct.

Case Terminated

Our client was facing removal based on an alleged CIMT (Crime Involving Moral Turpitude) conviction. We challenged the charge and showed that, under the law, the statute did not meet the legal definition of a CIMT. The Immigration Judge agreed and terminated the case. Another family kept together.

Deportation Case - Jan 2026

Waller Co 506th Dist Ct

Case Dismissed

Our client is an avid motorcyclist accused of felony evading after officers didn't think he slowed quickly enough during a traffic stop, despite his not initially noticing police. State’s case fell apart due to critical indictment errors that could not be cured once trial began. The result: a full dismissal, justice done, and—most importantly—our client’s legal status protected.

Felony Evading - Jan 2026

Harris Co Ct 9

Case Dismissed

A young man came to us facing both a DWI and an Evading charge— cases that could derail his entire future. We prepared aggressively for trial, challenged every weakness in the State’s evidence, and secured dismissals. While out on bond, he finished school and graduated. Now he can move forward with a clean slate and a restored future.

DWI, Evading Arrest - Nov 2025

Harris Co 165th Dist Ct

$43,000 Judgment

After years of delay, our client finally got justice. A defendant who had already been found liable for fraud under the DTPA tried to hide assets to avoid paying what he owed. We uncovered the scheme, exposed the hidden transfers, and won a Motion for Summary Judgment under the Texas Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (TUFTA). The Court nullified the sham transactions and ordered him to pay—proving that justice may be delayed, but not denied.

Civil Judgment - Sept 2025

Conroe Immig. Ct.

Case Terminated

Client is a long-time green card holder. Government tried to use a new criminal conviction against him. We were able to push back and use case law to force them to dismiss the removal case and free our client. 

Deportation Case - Aug 2025

Southern District of Texas

Client Released

The Federal Judge in this case ordered the client's IMMEDIATE RELEASE. As of this writing, our client has been released from detention and can breathe a sigh of relief and reunite with their family as we prepare her immigration case, with her help, from our office and not behind plexiglass and. barbed wire. Huge kudos to attorney Stephanie Pimentel, who's legal research, writing, and persistence made this possible. 

Deportation Case - Jan 2026

Wharton Co 23rd Dist Ct

Not Guilty

We took a felony retaliation case to trial in Wharton County. Our trial team of Attorneys Pimentel, Ledbetter and Cedillo explained to the jury the difference between a personal conflict and a criminal felony offense. They agreed. Not Guilty.

Felony Retaliation - Dec 2025

USCIS

Green Card Approved

Our client’s marriage petition and adjustment of status were fully approved—just four months from submission to approval. This fast and favorable result reflects our commitment to preparation, strategic filing, and dedicated advocacy for every family we serve. Congratulations to our client on the start of this new chapter.

Case Approved - Nov 2025

County Court - Wharton Co.

Not Guilty

In a short but important jury trial, our client was vindicated by an all-female jury who viewed the (in our opinion) aggressive actions of an officer and found that our clien'ts conduct didn't rise to the level of resisting arrest. 

Resisting Arrest - Sept. 2025

Harris Co. Court 8

Case Dismissed

Officer arrested client on suspicion of DWI; violated all sorts of protocols for DWI investigation. Case dismissed by State after jury selection.
