After graduating law school, Robert briefly worked for the Law Office of Nicholas and Barrera before taking a job as a bankruptcy attorney in Dallas.

In the Spring of 2022, Robert moved his family back to San Antonio accepting a job offer to practice Criminal Law at BRCK Criminal Defense Attorneys. “I wanted to work for BRCK because they are reimagining what a criminal law firm is going into the future. The jump from prosecution to defense was a big one but knowing that my family would be there for me made this decision easy.”
