Facing criminal charges is one of the most stressful experiences a person can go through. Whether it is a DWI, assault, drug case, sex crime allegation, or federal charge, the stakes are high. Your freedom, your reputation, your career, and your family’s future can all hang in the balance.
In San Antonio and across Bexar County, people turn to Dr. Edgardo Rafael Báez when everything is on the line.
A Background Built for the Fight
Dr. Edgardo Rafael Báez is not a typical criminal defense attorney. He is a U.S. Army veteran who served as a Senior Drill Sergeant and combat medic (SFC, 1988–2002). After his military service, he worked as a critical care and ICU nurse—a role that demands precision, calm under pressure, and sound decisions when lives are at stake.
That same discipline and focus now define his work in the courtroom. For more than twenty years, he has defended clients in Texas state and federal courts. He has secured more than twenty not guilty verdicts, building a reputation as the attorney San Antonio trusts when the outcome truly matters.
What Dr. Báez Handles
The Law Office of Dr. Edgardo Rafael Báez represents clients facing a wide range of criminal charges, including:
- DWI / DUI
- Assault
- Drug crimes
- Sex crimes
- Federal charges
- And other serious criminal matters
His approach is straightforward: protect your constitutional rights, challenge the evidence, and fight for the best possible outcome — whether that means a dismissal, a reduced charge, or a not guilty verdict at trial.
Why Experience and Preparation Matter
Criminal cases are won or lost on the details. A missed filing deadline, an overlooked constitutional issue, or a weak defense strategy can change the course of a person’s life. With more than two decades in the courtroom, Dr. Báez understands how prosecutors build cases and how to dismantle them.
