Choosing a lawyer is one of the more consequential decisions you will make after a serious injury. You want someone who has actually tried cases, who will tell you the truth about what your claim is worth, and who picks up the phone himself. That is the firm we set out to build.

JRE Injury Law was founded by attorney Joseph R. Echavarria, a San Antonio native who spent two years as a Bexar County prosecutor before moving to the plaintiff's side. Our mission is straightforward: represent injured Texans the way we would want someone in our own family represented.
We are a boutique firm by choice. The attorney you hire is the attorney who works your file — not a case manager, not a rotating queue. It also means we take fewer cases and prepare each one as though a jury will see it, because that is what moves a carrier off a first offer.
We handle car accidents, commercial truck and 18-wheeler collisions, motorcycle and e-scooter injuries, rideshare, bus and pedestrian claims, and wrongful death cases across San Antonio, the Hill Country and the rest of Texas. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, we work in English and Spanish, and we take cases on contingency.
Our consultations are 100% free.
What our clients say about working with us
They took my case when two other firms turned it down. I got updates before I even had to ask, and the result was more than I expected going in.
The trucking company's insurer opened with almost nothing. Once they saw the file was being worked up for trial, the number changed completely.
I was worried about what this would cost me. There was never a bill, everything was explained up front, and I understood every step before it happened.
Called on a Sunday night after my wreck on 1604 and an actual person picked up. That alone told me what kind of office this is.
Straight answers, every time. He told me early which parts of my claim were strong and which weren't, instead of promising me the moon.
Todo el proceso me lo explicaron en español, sin prisa y sin letra chiquita. Se los recomiendo a mi familia.
My son was hit crossing the street and I had no idea where to start. They handled the insurance company so I could just take care of him.
I'd been through a firm that treated me like a file number. This was the opposite — same attorney start to finish, and he knew my case cold.
Settled for well above what the adjuster first offered. They never pressured me to take the quick money and I'm glad I listened.
