We built this firm for that moment. Our founder, Austin Hagee, spent years as a felony prosecutor for Bexar County before he ever defended anyone. He saw how the State decides who to charge and how hard prosecutors will push for a conviction, without fully evaluating a case or the complete person on the other side. He also saw people treated merely as a case number in the justice system, not as human beings. So he started a firm that does the opposite: no case is a number here, we have a limited, exclusive caseload, our clients have direct access to multiple trial attorneys that actually know their case and their case discovery, and each client receives a custom-tailored defense prepared as if their case is going to trial. We are trial lawyers first and constantly work on sharpening our craft through trial simulation, continuing legal education, mock trials, legal research, and witness preparation. Through preparation and execution our efforts have paid off with huge wins in the form of many acquittals, case rejections, and dismissals for our clients. ## Our Mission mirror [about-our-mission-02](https://ahl-whmsqlm30xzl.wpfv3.comradeserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/about-our-mission-02.webp) Our mission is to help good people through hard times with the goal of restoring families, and we have been honored to help hundreds of individuals and their families do just that. We fight to give every person facing charges in Texas an aggressive, smart defense built on a former prosecutor’s insight, supported by a team of skilled trial lawyers, excellent support staff, and cutting-edge technology. Our cases get the full attention of a criminal defense firm that treats its clients like family. We are here to protect your record, your freedom, and your future, and to make sure your side of the story is heard. ## What We Stand For about - about-1 - Insight from the Other Side - Our attorneys include former Bexar County prosecutors. We know how the State builds a case because we used to prosecute them, and we use that insider knowledge to find the weaknesses first. - about-2 - We Keep Our Caseload Small - We take fewer cases on purpose. You reach your attorney directly, you get straight answers, and your case never becomes a file in a stack. - about-3 - Straight Talk, Every Step - A criminal case is stressful enough without being left in the dark. We have a proprietary update system to keep you updated with where your case stands and what comes next, so you are never guessing. - about-4 - A Viable Defense Within Reach - Cost should not decide who gets a strong defense. We make sure our clients get unmatched representation with flat fees and flexible payment plans, so you can act now instead of settling for whoever is cheapest. - about-5 - Dignity, No Matter the Charge - The system is not always fair. We treat every client with dignity and respect and hold the State to its burden, whatever the accusation.

Austin Hagee Law Firm finances its own clients directly, with flexible payment plans and a low initial payment, so you can put a former prosecutor in your corner today instead of settling for whoever happens to be available. You will know your full flat fee in writing before you sign, with no hourly meter and no surprise invoices.

Austin Hagee has taken a case to trial every year since he was licensed as an attorney, and his firm has secured more than 400 dismissals, Not Guilty verdicts, and even had success convincing prosecutors to drop charges altogether while the jury was in the hallway before trial. When your lawyer is willing to try your case, the State negotiates differently. If your current lawyer is not willing or capable of going to trial, hire one who is.

We make sure yours are protected from the first setting to the last. - We Build the Defense - We investigate the facts, the evidence, and the State’s file, and we build a clear theory of the case. - We Guide Your Decisions - Plea or trial. Testify or not. We weigh the evidence with you and help you make informed choices. - We Keep You Informed - Your family often carries the case too. We stay in steady contact so no one is left wondering. ## Austin M. Hagee Founder and Managing Trial Attorney Former Bexar County felony prosecutor.
