About the firm · McAllen & Brownsville
una familia que pelea por la tuya
Alex Martinez Law, El Gallo de la Ley, is a bilingual law firm in McAllen, Texas. We handle personal injury and immigration cases for families across the Rio Grande Valley. Attorney Alex Martinez works alongside his father, civil trial lawyer Adrian Martinez, and a team that speaks English and Spanish. Call, send a WhatsApp or visit our McAllen or Brownsville office.
Our story
Two generations of Texas lawyers, one office on West Houston Avenue and a second in Olmito for Brownsville clients.
Alex Martinez grew up between two cultures. He studied in Texas and, in Spanish, in Mexico. At a Jesuit school he learned the values he still talks about: education, hard work, integrity, family and faith. He earned his law degree at Thurgood Marshall School of Law in Houston and has been licensed in Texas since 2010.
Today the firm he leads handles two kinds of cases. Injury cases, when someone else’s carelessness on the road, at work or on a property leaves a person hurt. And immigration cases, where one filing can decide whether a family stays together.
His father, Adrian Martinez, has practiced civil litigation in Texas for more than 40 years. He works with the firm as of counsel and brings a trial lawyer’s long view to the team. Read more on our attorneys page.
The name
the rooster of the law
In Spanish, el gallo is the rooster: up before dawn and never one to back down. El Gallo de la Ley is the name on our logo and on our TikTok, and it sums up our promise to every client: El Gallo stands by your side.
What we do
Some families need help with both. One bilingual team handles both kinds of cases, so you do not have to start over with a new firm.
Personal injury
Car and truck crashes, injuries at work, falls on unsafe property and the loss of a loved one. We deal with the insurance companies and build the claim while you focus on getting better.
You pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover money for you. Case costs, such as filing fees and records, are explained in writing before you sign.
Immigration
Green cards, family petitions, citizenship, work permits and deportation defense. We explain every option in Spanish or English before you file anything.
Fees for immigration cases are explained at the consultation.
The team
Our attorneys and bilingual staff work on each case together. Every attorney and staff member speaks English and Spanish, so you can tell your story in the language you think in.
