Murder

What We Deliver

Murder is the most serious charge a person can face—and it demands a defense that is fearless, strategic, and experienced. In Texas, murder and manslaughter cases can carry penalties ranging from decades in prison to life without parole. From the moment you’re charged—or even under investigation—you need a defense attorney who can immediately begin protecting your rights and building your case.

Ray Vazquez has the courtroom experience and composure needed for high-stakes criminal defense. As a former Harris County Prosecutor, he understands how the State builds complex homicide cases—from collecting forensic evidence to working with expert witnesses. Now, as a defense attorney, he uses that insider knowledge to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s narrative, challenge flawed evidence, and build a compelling defense strategy tailored to each case.

There is no room for error when it comes to murder charges. Whether you’re facing allegations of first-degree murder, manslaughter, or criminally negligent homicide, Ray takes a proactive and thorough approach. That includes analyzing autopsy reports, surveillance footage, police body cams, witness credibility, and the motivations behind the State’s theory. He also carefully explores possible defenses—such as self-defense, lack of intent, or mistaken identity—depending on the unique facts of your case.

Every person charged with a serious crime deserves a powerful advocate—and Ray delivers just that. He treats clients with dignity, keeps families informed, and never backs down from a challenge in the courtroom. If you or a loved one is facing murder charges in Texas, turn to a defense lawyer who brings battle-tested experience and unwavering commitment to every case.
