Attorney Information
Overview
My years of experience as a criminal defense lawyer have only added to my passion for protecting people’s rights and futures. I stand by my fellow human beings who find themselves up against the intimidating machinery of the state and Federal criminal justice system in Cameron County, Texas.
As we say in Spanish, “Más sabe el diablo por viejo que por diablo,” which means, “The devil knows more because he is old, than because he is the devil.”
If you have been charged with a crime – perhaps a violent crime, a sex offense, a drug crime or some variety of theft – I am ready and willing to listen and offer help. The role of Ed Stapleton, Lawyer PLLC, is to defend the accused.
Then feel free to explore this website to learn about what I can do for you. I am proud to be a part of a vibrant community of defense lawyers in South Texas. We help each other to get better results for our clients. As I like to say, “I do not have competitors, only colleagues. We are all medics on a slave ship trying to relieve suffering.”
Other lawyers often refer cases to me. When the right people find their way to my door, we get to work together to devise and implement effective strategies in their defense.
