About Us
This firm was born from what I saw, and what I couldn’t ignore.
After years as a prosecutor, I knew the system from the inside. I also knew how easily people, especially those from immigrant and working-class communities, could get chewed up and dismissed by it. I didn’t want to just be part of the machine. I wanted to be the person standing in the way of it when it tried to crush someone’s future.
Cardenas Witt Law is my answer to that.
We’re not just here to get you through a legal process. We’re here to fight for your future like it’s our own because for many of us, it has been. We understand what it’s like to carry fear and hope at the same time. That’s why we bring everything we’ve got to every case: experience, strategy, and a deep commitment to protecting what matters most.
This isn’t just a job. It’s personal.

When You’re Undocumented, the Fear Is Different
For undocumented immigrants, an arrest isn’t just about fines, jail, or a criminal record. It’s about the possibility of deportation, losing your family, or never being allowed back into the country you call home.
The fear is real — confusion at the police station, pressure to sign papers you don’t understand, feeling like no one is on your side. We’ve seen it. We’ve sat with clients in those exact moments. And we’ve built this firm to be the answer: strong defense that doesn’t just protect your rights, but protects your future.
Here’s how we do it:
Clarity
Every case gets a custom plan built to win, not a one-size-fits-all defense.
Strategy
Collaboration among the attorneys to find the best approach to your specific case.
Communication
You’ll know where you stand, what’s next, and what it means for your future
On Your Side, 24/7
When trouble doesn’t wait, neither do we. We answer the call.
