Attorney Information
Overview
“For the people and by the people” had never rung truer than when you refer to George C Ruiz. George, one of 3 siblings, grew up in a traditional Hispanic home and beyond being perfectly bilingual, he is perfectly bicultural. He navigates with ease with English or Spanish speaking clients. His passion for his clients dates to the deep roots from his Mexican upbringing where he learned the value of being ethical and driven by principles. He is committed to giving his clients a voice and guiding them in obtaining the best possible outcome in a straightforward and honest way. His adrenaline is fueled by the thought of fighting for his clients and winning for them. He continues to carve his way in the legal system and has been diligently building his reputation. He has handled many prominent criminal and family matters and his office continues to flourish as an office that consistently delivers results. He is committed and knows that the “lion doesn’t turn when the small dog barks”. He is in it to win it! He truly believes that he is the “world’s equalizer” turning his clients wrongs into rights. The confidence he exudes, permeates at all stages and levels of the legal battle to ensure you receive the best possible outcome. He is not afraid to go against the current if it means that he will protect his clients best interest and is no stranger to playing outside of the sandbox. George chose to become an attorney out of the conviction to make a difference in his clients lives, a truly unique quality that sets him apart from all others. He has the uncanny ability to anticipate the next move in a manner that allows him stay one step ahead of the opposing side. George is without a doubt, the attorney and partner you want in your corner.
Academically, George earned his J.D. from the University of Texas A&M, and his Undergraduate, in Criminal Justice, from the University of Texas in San Antonio. He is admitted to the Texas State Bar.
