Your case will never be handed to a paralegal or passed down to an associate. I am Laura Allison Ramos, and I handle every case personally — immigration, criminal defense, family law, and more — for clients across Texas and nationwide.

An Attorney Who Has Seen Your Situation Before

When the outcome of your case affects your freedom, your family, or your immigration status, the attorney you choose matters more than anything else. I have spent 14 years handling cases that carry real consequences — in Texas state courts, in federal court, and in immigration proceedings across the country.


Most attorneys in this region handle one practice area. I handle immigration and criminal defense together, which means I can represent you through both sides of a crimmigration case — the criminal charges and the immigration consequences — without you needing to hire two separate attorneys and hope they communicate.


I also hold a position on the Criminal Justice Panel Act for the Southern District of Texas. Few private attorneys in the Corpus Christi area carry this designation. It means I am qualified to handle federal criminal appointments, and it reflects the level of federal court experience I bring to every case.

Hablo Español. Entiendo Tu Caso.

If English is not your first language, you should not have to struggle to explain your situation to your own attorney. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and I serve a large Spanish-speaking client base across the Coastal Bend and throughout Texas.


Understanding the law is only part of my job. Understanding what you are going through — the fear, the uncertainty, and what is at stake for your family — is the other part. You will never feel like a case number here.

About Laura Allison Ramos

I have been practicing law for 14 years, and I built this firm around a simple idea: every client deserves direct access to their attorney, honest counsel about their case, and representation that does not quit. I am based in Corpus Christi, and I serve clients throughout Texas — and across the country for immigration matters.

I am on the Criminal Justice Panel Act for the Southern District of Texas, which reflects my commitment to federal criminal defense work in a region where few private attorneys take those cases. I am also deeply involved in this community — from the Pony League board to charitable work across the Coastal Bend.

When you hire me, you get me. From the first consultation to the final resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you handle both immigration and criminal cases for the same client?

    Yes. While your landlord’s policy likely covers the building itself, it won’t protect your belongings or liability. Renters insurance ensures you’re covered if your stuff is damaged, stolen, or if someone gets hurt in your unit.

  • Do you offer services in Spanish?

    That depends on the value of your home, your belongings, and your level of risk. We’ll help you calculate replacement costs and liability needs to ensure you’re fully protected without overpaying.

  • Do you take federal criminal cases?

    Yes. I am on the Criminal Justice Panel Act for the Southern District of Texas and I handle federal criminal defense, including drug charges, firearms offenses, and white-collar cases. Federal cases require a different level of preparation and experience than state cases, and I have both.

  • Do you handle cases outside of Corpus Christi?

    Yes, independent agencies work with several insurance carriers. This allows clients to compare coverage options through one agency rather than contacting insurers individually.

  • What information do I need to start my case?

    You can reach me by phone or through the contact form on this site. I ask for your name, contact preference, the practice area your case involves, and a brief description of your situation. If you have documents related to your case, you are welcome to upload them through the form. From there, I will review what you have shared and reach out to discuss next steps.
