Client in removal proceedings granted bond by Immigration Judge, despite DHS' objection. 

Secured a strong result for our client after a three-car collision caused by a driver who ran a red light in downtown Houston. Despite multiple vehicles and competing claims, we pushed the case forward and recovered just shy of the at-fault driver’s policy limits—helping our client move forward with meaningful compensation after a serious crash.

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. 

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.

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.

Cedillo Law Firm secured the dismissal of an extremely serious abuse accusation after our client spent nearly a year in jail awaiting trial while maintaining his innocence. After attorneys Stephanie Pimentel and J.P. Cedillo presented and emphasized critical defense evidence, the prosecution reviewed the case and agreed to dismiss the charge. While our client now faces the difficult task of rebuilding his life, his reputation, and his family relationships, this dismissal spared him from the devastating risk of prison for an accusation he always knew was wrong.

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. 

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.

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.

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. 

We secured a dismissal with prejudice in a felony evading case after successfully arguing that double jeopardy barred the State from prosecuting our client again. The client, who was riding a motorcycle, never realized officers were attempting to stop him and pulled over immediately once he became aware. After the State dismissed its defective indictment following jury selection, the prosecution attempted to refile the case. We filed a Motion to Quash arguing that jeopardy had already attached. The court agreed, throwing the case out entirely. Kudos to attorney Malachi Ledbetter for leading the argument on the motion and securing the win.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

In a case in the Southern District of Texas, we secured another federal habeas victory ordering our client to have a bond hearing—even after the ruling in Buenrostro limiting bonds for many in the 5th Circuit. Our client is a longtime resident with no criminal history, a mother to U.S. citizen children with serious health conditions. The federal court ordered the government to justify her continued detention at a bond hearing—or release her. UPDATE: The Federal court ordered her release. 

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.

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.

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.

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.
