Origin
Thirty Years Focused on Catastrophic Injury Cases
Fidel Rodriguez, Jr. founded the firm in San Antonio and has been a Texas Board of Legal Specialization-certified personal injury trial lawyer for nearly 30 years, per the firm’s own materials. The firm describes its attorneys and staff as coming from “hardworking South Texas families,” and states the team has more than 50 years of combined legal experience across its four listed attorneys: Fidel Rodriguez, Jr., Tres Rodriguez, Martin Garza, and Joshua Diaz.
Practice
Trucking Collisions, Oil Field Injuries, and Catastrophic Injury — Not DUI Defense
Per the firm’s own site, its practice centers on 18-wheeler and commercial trucking collisions, oil field injuries (drilling accidents, blowouts and explosions, contractor negligence), and catastrophic personal injury including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns, and wrongful death. The firm also represents victims of drunk-driving accidents — that is, people injured by an intoxicated driver, a personal injury claim, not a criminal defense of someone charged with DWI. This profile categorizes the firm under Personal Injury accordingly, not DUI/DWI Defense.
Track Record
The firm’s own site publishes a detailed results page with itemized case figures, including a $124,496,993.97 jury verdict, a $15,000,000 result in an 18-wheeler collision case, a $9,030,000 products liability result, and a $5,261,622.25 result in an 18-wheeler collision death case, each broken out by net-to-client, litigation expenses, and attorneys’ fees.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter. The figures above are the firm’s own published case results and have not been independently verified against court records by Awesome Attorneys.
Client Voice
Client testimonials published on the firm’s own site include a Florence Casas of San Antonio stating she is “thankful to have had the Law Offices of Fidel Rodriguez, Jr.” as her attorneys and would “highly recommend them,” and a Jeff Hancock stating he will “always be grateful for their friendship and guiding hands” and recommends the firm “without hesitation.” No negative reviews were located in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Community
The firm states it is “proud to stand up for hardworking people” in the South Texas community and has pursued public-interest litigation beyond individual client cases, including barratry-enforcement advocacy work referenced in the firm’s own news section.
Recognition
Fidel Rodriguez, Jr. holds the Texas Board of Legal Specialization’s certification in Personal Injury Trial Law — a peer-reviewed, examination-based credential distinct from purchased marketing-list placements. The firm’s own site also displays Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, and Best Law Firms (Regional Tier 1) recognition badges. This profile uses the word “specialist” advisedly, on the strength of the documented, individually attributed TBLS certification.
The Texas Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Texas personal injury and wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003. Texas follows a modified comparative (proportionate responsibility) system under § 33.001: an injured person can generally recover only if they are found 50% or less responsible for their own injury, and any recovery is reduced by their percentage of fault. Wrongful death claims are governed by the Texas Wrongful Death Act, Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 71.001 et seq.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Rodriguez Trial Law’s differentiator is a genuinely deep, board-certified catastrophic-injury trial practice with a documented history of large trucking and oil field case results — a strong fit for South Texas, where the oil field and commercial trucking industries drive much of the area’s serious injury litigation. The honest trade-off: the published results are the firm’s own figures, not independently verified against court records by Awesome Attorneys, and a firm this focused on catastrophic, high-value litigation may not be the right fit for smaller, more routine injury claims.
