Defending Your Future in Family Law and Criminal Defense for More Than 30 Years

The go-to attorney for family and criminal matters in San Antonio

I’m Bill Baskette — family law attorney, criminal defense lawyer, former district court judge, former prosecutor and founder of the Law Office of Bill Baskette. For more than 30 years, in various ways, I’ve served your interests and the interests of all Texans through professional, personal representation. Whether you’re going through a divorce or you’ve been charged with a crime, I make sure that you can depend on my experience, knowledge and concern to get you through these tough times.

Focused on you as a client, not your wallet

The experience and knowledge I bring to represent you is focused on what I know best from my 30 years of practice:

• Family Law: I know you want a family law attorney who listens to your problems and helps you make the best decisions for you and your family. From protective orders and adoption to divorce and child support, I give you options to help you move towards a better future.
• Criminal Defense: If you've been accused of a crime or charged with a felony, I fight for your rights when you need to fight for your freedom. I care about your rights, your future and getting you justice that you deserve.

My experience as an attorney and former Texas district court judge means that Texans — whether they’re other lawyers or clients like you — count on me when things go sideways. I make sure that whatever the situation, I help you take care of the legal issues that affect you, your family, and your future.

Fighting for your rights and getting things done

At the Law Office of Bill Baskette, the buck stops with me. You work with me directly and I give you the straight story on your situation. I fight for your rights, get things done and take the initiative to win for you.

I take my job as your attorney seriously. Whether I defend you against criminal charges, such as a DWI, or help your family resolve a difficult situation, I offer effective and efficient legal counsel because of my experience as an attorney, prosecutor and judge. You have rights no matter the legal matter — I ensure that you know what they are and that the court and the other side respect them.

Most importantly, I treat every case personally and professionally. I don’t wait for the opposing side to act — I move first to protect you. Whether it’s family law, where I sit down for hours to make sure we understand your situation, or criminal law, where I focus on keeping the damage to your reputation and life as low as possible, I will not steer you wrong.
