Matt Maldonado

A decorated combat veteran and one of the most respected trial attorneys in the 81st District, Matt Maldonado has tried more cases in these counties than any other lawyer in the last five years. His deep familiarity with the local courts and juries makes him a force in the courtroom—and even prosecutors often ask him to represent their friends and family.

Matt has secured successful jury verdicts in a wide range of serious cases, from drug possession to sexual assault. His trial skills are so well-regarded, he’s been invited to train public defender offices on how to try cases. His reputation is clear: if prosecutors don’t deal fairly, Matt takes them to trial—and wins.

Unlike many San Antonio-based attorneys who rarely venture into the 81st, Matt is embedded in the community and courtrooms here. He’s the attorney clients trust when they want someone who knows the territory and isn’t afraid to fight for them.
