The Zambrano Law Firm continues its growth by hiring new Associate Attorney, Edgar E. Garcia, Jr.
Mr. Garcia graduated from Roma High School in 2006. He then went on to The University of Texas-Pan American where he graduated in 2010 with a Biology degree. With his family’s support, and the encouragement of Attorney Jesse Zambrano, Attorney Garcia decided to pursue a career in law. He then went on to work for the Zambrano Law Firm as a Case Analyst before attending St. Mary’s University School of Law in the fall of 2014. Mr. Garcia fulfilled his dream of becoming a licensed attorney in November 2017.
“Getting my bar exam results was a great feeling. I am finally a licensed attorney.” Mr. Garcia stated.
He is the first in his family to earn both a college degree and a law degree. “Being the first college graduate and attorney in my family is a great accomplishment.” Garcia said. “Especially because my career path wasn’t easy. It took a lot of hard work and determination to get to this point. I could not have done it without the unwavering support of my parents and family.”
In addition to pursuing his law degree, Garcia got married two weeks before entering law school. “My wife Mariela and I left for San Antonio just days before starting law school. San Antonio was good to us. Our daughter Emma was born there.” He stated. “And I was able to handle working while attending law school and adjusting to being a new husband and father.” Garcia told Texas Border Business.
Mr. Garcia’s proudest moment through this journey is passing the Texas Bar Exam and becoming a licensed attorney. “I will never forget getting home after the 3rd day of the Texas Bar Exam and being greeted by my wife and daughter. My daughter was wearing a t-shirt that said “Yay, Daddy is done with the bar’.” He continued.
While attending St. Mary’s University School of Law, Garcia distinguished himself by serving as a student attorney at the St. Mary’s Center for Legal and Social Justice. “The clinic provides free legal services to those who can’t afford legal representation. As a student attorney, I was able to represent individuals in family law and consumer protection cases in court.” Garcia stated.
Garcia enjoys spending time with his family, and playing golf, archery, hunting, and fishing.
Garcia will be a great addition to the Zambrano Law Firm. “Edgar has a tremendous work ethic and is already making a difference for the firm’s clients. We are very proud of him and all his accomplishments so far. I look forward to working with him and growing the firm together.” Attorney Zambrano stated.
The Zambrano Law Firm provides a wide range of legal services for businesses and individuals in the areas of personal injury and business law.
