Why hire us
Why McAllen residents choose the firm
McAllen has many firms. Most are large, billboard-driven, and operate on a call-center model where the lawyer in the ad is rarely the lawyer on the case. The Law Office of J.M. Chema Garza offers the opposite: one local bilingual attorney, available by direct line and WhatsApp, handling each case from intake through final disposition.
The McAllen practice splits roughly between commercial-truck and serious-injury matters out of the I-2 and Expressway 83 corridors, federal indictments from the McAllen Division of the Southern District of Texas, USCIS filings through the McAllen Field Office for family-based immigration, and DACA renewals for clients across the Valley. The attorney appears in McAllen federal court on a steady cadence.
For McAllen clients comparing their options, the question is who answers when the case is hard. Here, the answer is the attorney, in English or Spanish, at (956) 317-1167 or WhatsApp (956) 500-1371.
