Passion. Experience. Diligence.

History

After testing himself in the proving grounds of the courtroom, having been given the opportunity to practice in multiple areas in his previous law firm, Mr. Serrato developed a theory of representation that he wanted to provide to his clients. Having developed that vision, Mr. Serrato created Serrato Law and Associates, with the objective of creating a team of attorneys capable and willing to take their cases to trial. Having practiced in the courtroom over four years as an associate at his previous law firm, he recognized the shortage of trial capable attorneys, and the unfairness inherent in forcing individuals to seek competent representation in a state experiencing a dire shortage of competent trial ready attorneys, all while the hammer of justice readied it's gavel at their freedom.
