Over Two Decades of Fierce Advocacy: Dr. Edgardo Rafael Báez Serving San Antonio as a Criminal Defense Attorney Since 2005
San Antonio, Texas – For more than 20 years, Dr. Edgardo Rafael Báez (known professionally as Dr. E.R. Báez) has stood as a relentless defender of the accused in the courtrooms of Texas. Admitted to the Texas Bar on May 5, 2005, Dr. Báez has built a distinguished career focused exclusively on criminal defense, earning a reputation for his military-honed discipline, deep legal knowledge, and unwavering commitment to his clients.
Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Dr. Báez brought a wealth of real-world experience to the legal profession. A U.S. Army veteran who served as a Senior Drill Sergeant and combat medic with the 1/501st Airborne Infantry Unit, he later worked as an intensive care nurse before pursuing his law degree. This unique background—combining medical expertise, military leadership, and a strong faith foundation—has shaped him into a formidable advocate who understands pressure, strategy, and the human side of every case.
A Solo Practice Dedicated to Criminal Defense
At The Law Office of Dr. E.R. Báez, P.C., located in downtown San Antonio, Dr. Báez personally handles every case. Unlike large firms where clients may be passed to associates, defendants receive direct, hands-on representation from an experienced trial attorney. His practice covers the full spectrum of criminal matters in both state and federal courts across Texas, including:
DWI/DUI charges
Assault and family violence cases
Drug possession and distribution
Murder and serious felony offenses
White-collar crimes, fraud, and appeals
Post-conviction relief, writs, and parole matters
Dr. Báez is known for fighting aggressively from pretrial negotiations through jury trials, securing favorable outcomes for clients who felt they had nowhere else to turn. His office proudly serves both English- and Spanish-speaking communities throughout Bexar County and beyond.
“Facing criminal charges is one of the most frightening experiences a person can endure,” Dr. Báez often tells clients. “You need an attorney who believes in you, knows the law inside and out, and is willing to take the fight all the way to trial if necessary.”
More Than Just a Lawyer
In addition to his JD, Dr. Báez holds a Master of Divinity and is completing advanced theological studies. Many clients describe him as “The Pastor Lawyer” – a compassionate counselor who combines legal skill with genuine care for the individuals and families he represents. His military discipline and personal values drive a client-first approach that emphasizes preparation, communication, and results.
