Two Attorneys, One Hometown Firm

Abogados Vasquez Law Firm is your dedicated legal team for personal injury, immigration and criminal defense matters in Waco, Texas. Luis Vasquez arrived in Waco from Guatemala at a very young age, grew up here, and came back after practicing at one of the larger personal injury firms in Austin and San Antonio and at a high-volume immigration firm. Esmeralda Sosa Serratos, a Texas-licensed immigration attorney with over a decade of experience, represents the firm's immigration clients.

They chose this work for the same reason: to help people in their time of need. When you call, you speak with a lawyer who knows Waco, knows the courts in McLennan County and knows what it means to build a life in a new country.

How We Can Help

From immigration matters to personal injury claims and criminal charges, our firm provides comprehensive legal solutions for individuals, families and victims across Central Texas.

Personal Injury

Hurt in an Accident? We Handle the Insurance Company.

Car and truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, slip-and-fall injuries and wrongful death claims turn lives upside down. While you focus on getting better, we gather the evidence, handle every call from the adjuster and pursue the compensation Texas law allows.

Fees and case expenses are explained in a written agreement before anything is signed. We explain the process in English or Spanish so you always know where your claim stands.

Personal Injury Services

Immigration

Keeping Families Together and Futures Secure.

We guide clients through naturalization, first-time and renewal green card applications, DACA, VAWA and U visa petitions, work permit renewals, immigration bond hearings, habeas corpus petitions and representation in removal proceedings.

Immigration law changes constantly and small mistakes can cost months. Our office prepares each filing carefully and keeps you informed from the first consultation to the final decision.

Criminal Defense

Charged With a Crime? Know Your Options Before Your First Court Date.

DWI, assault, drug possession, theft and other misdemeanor and felony charges in McLennan County carry consequences that last long after the case ends: a record, your license, your job and, for non-citizens, your immigration status.

We review the arrest and the evidence, explain what the charge means and what may be possible, and represent you at every hearing, in English or Spanish.

Abogados Vasquez Law Firm

Personal Injury, Immigration and Criminal Defense Lawyers in Waco for Central Texas Families

Waco sits at the crossroads of Central Texas, and so do the people we serve: families who have lived here for generations and families who arrived last year. Both can face a moment when the law suddenly matters a great deal. A wreck on Interstate 35 or Valley Mills Drive leaves you with medical bills and an insurance adjuster asking for a recorded statement. A letter from USCIS gives you thirty days to respond. A family member is picked up by ICE and held in a detention center hours away.

Abogados Vasquez Law Firm was built for those moments. Attorney Luis Vasquez practiced at one of the larger personal injury firms in Austin and San Antonio and at a high-volume immigration firm before returning to his hometown, and he brought that experience with him. Our office handles car, truck and motorcycle accidents, slip-and-fall injuries and wrongful death claims under Texas law, immigration matters including naturalization, green cards, DACA, VAWA, U visas, work permits, bond hearings and removal defense, and criminal charges from DWI and misdemeanors to felonies in the McLennan County courts.
