Word for word
The full answers
“Who is the best criminal defense lawyer in San Antonio?”
There isn't one "best" criminal defense lawyer in San Antonio. The right choice depends on the charge, and no review site ranks lawyers objectively. Here is what the review sites show right now.
Highly rated on Avvo - Avvo's top-reviewed list includes James Kenneth Porter III, Joseph Allen Strickland, Adrian Flores, Benjamin Edward Michael and Michael Adly Baseluos, each with a 5.0 rating. - Porter has 197 reviews, Strickland 186 and Flores 149. That is a lot of feedback, which makes their ratings more meaningful.
Highly rated on Yelp - Ramos & Del Cueto has a 5.0 rating from 10 reviews. - The Law Offices of Jesse A Sepulveda has 4.3 from 13 reviews. - Yelp also lists Austin Hagee Law Firm and Pietrazek Law. Both have only a few reviews, so their ratings tell you less.
Board-certified option - Jodi Soyars is a board-certified criminal defense lawyer in San Antonio who has been recognized by the National Trial Lawyers as a Top 100 criminal law attorney.
My search only showed ratings. It didn't confirm that each firm is currently open, so call each office before you rely on the listing.
How to choose 1. Check that the lawyer is board-certified in criminal law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. 2. Look at the State Bar of Texas for any disciplinary history. 3. Choose someone who regularly handles your type of charge, such as DWI, drug, assault or a felony. 4. Meet two or three lawyers. Most offer free or cheap consultations, so ask about their strategy, fees and who will actually handle your case.
If you tell me the charge, I can help you narrow the list.

How we ask
Method
Once a week we ask Claude (Anthropic's assistant) the same fixed questions a person in each city might type, with web search turned on and set to that city, and we ask it to check the web before it answers. We use Claude's API, the version developers build on, so an answer in the Claude app on your phone can differ. These answers were asked the week of Nov 9, 2026.
We show what Claude said, word for word, and count who it named. Besides the question, we ask Claude only to check current information and to list the businesses it named at the end of its answer, which is how we count them. We don't rank anyone ourselves, nobody pays to appear, and our own clients get no special treatment: if a competitor of theirs is named, it's on the list.
AI answers can be wrong. Claude can name a business that has closed or misdescribe one, and we haven't checked each name. Treat this as a record of what Claude says, not a recommendation from Kalydron.
