Personal Injury, Immigration and Criminal Defense Practice Areas
About Abogados Vasquez Law Firm
Three Areas of Law, One Commitment
Abogados Vasquez Law Firm limits its practice to three areas: personal injury claims under Texas law, immigration matters before USCIS and the immigration courts, and criminal defense in the McLennan County courts. Focusing on these lets us stay current on the rules, the forms and the local practices that decide how a case goes.
Every matter begins with a consultation where we assess your situation, explain your options and outline a clear path forward. Our Waco office serves clients in English and Spanish, in person, by phone or by video.
Below you will find an overview of every service we handle. Select a service to learn more about eligibility, the process and how our team can help.
Personal Injury
When someone else's carelessness leaves you hurt, Texas law allows you to seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and other losses. We handle the investigation and the insurance company so you can focus on recovery. Fees and case expenses are explained in a written agreement before anything is signed.
Car Accidents
Collisions on I-35, Highway 6, Valley Mills Drive and the streets of Waco. We deal with the adjusters, gather the evidence and pursue the full value of your claim.
Truck and 18-Wheeler Accidents
Commercial truck crashes involve federal regulations, multiple insurers and evidence that disappears quickly. Early investigation matters.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders are often blamed unfairly. We build the record that shows what really happened.
Slip and Fall Injuries
Falls in stores, apartments and parking lots caused by unsafe conditions the property owner knew about or should have known about.
Wrongful Death
When a family loses someone because of another person's negligence, Texas law allows certain family members to bring a claim.
Immigration
We guide clients through the immigration processes that keep families together and futures secure: becoming a lawful permanent resident or U.S. citizen, renewing residency, work permits or DACA, protection for survivors of abuse and crime, and defense in removal proceedings.
Naturalization and Citizenship
Eligibility review, Form N-400, interview and civics test preparation, and help with complications from travel or past records.
Green Card, First-Time Residency
Family-based petitions and adjustment of status for spouses, parents and children of U.S. citizens and residents.
Green Card Renewal
Form I-90 to renew or replace an expiring, lost, stolen or damaged permanent resident card.
DACA
Timely renewals of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and the accompanying work permit.
VAWA Self-Petitions
Confidential petitions for spouses, children and parents who have suffered abuse by a U.S. citizen or resident family member.
U Visa
Protection and a path to residency for victims of qualifying crimes who have helped law enforcement.
Work Permit Renewal

Immigration Bond Determination Hearing (BDH)
Locating a detained family member, evaluating eligibility under current law and representing them at the custody redetermination hearing.
Habeas Corpus
Federal district court petitions that ask a judge to review prolonged or unlawful immigration detention. Informational only.
Removal Defense
Representation in immigration court, including cancellation of removal, asylum-related relief, adjustment in proceedings and appeals.
Criminal Defense
From a first DWI or a Class C citation to felony charges in the district courts, we handle criminal cases in the McLennan County courts. We review the evidence, explain the process and represent you at every hearing, in English or Spanish.
DWI
Driving while intoxicated charges, the administrative license revocation hearing and the conditions that follow an arrest.
Assault
Assault and family violence allegations, from Class C citations to felony charges, and what a family violence finding means.
Drug Possession
Marijuana, THC concentrates and controlled substances: how the substance and the amount set the charge, and the search issues we review.
Theft
Shoplifting and theft charges at every value level, and the record and immigration consequences that come with them.
Felonies
State jail through first-degree felonies in the McLennan County district courts: indictment, bond, discovery, plea or trial.
Misdemeanors
Class A, B and C charges in the county courts at law, municipal and justice courts, and why a misdemeanor still matters.
