About Rick Navarrete
I have been serving the Permian Basin area for more than 15 years, but my practice has taken me to nearly every corner of Texas. My practice has focused on criminal defense and family law, and over the years, I have tried hundreds of cases to both juries and judges. Many of those cases have involved high-profile clients and issues, and I have developed an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of law that only comes from experience and dedication. I have devoted my legal career to using litigation to vindicate my client's needs. Thankfully, my hard work and determination have made me one of the most sought after trial attorneys in the area. I am a graduate of Angelo State University and Texas Tech University School of Law. Upon graduation from law school, I immediately began serving the needs of individual clients through private practice. Mr. Navarrete is a member of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, the Texas Family Law Section, a former member of the Bar Leadership Committee of the State Bar of Texas, the former President of the Midland County Young Lawyers Association, and is currently a member of the Administration of Rules of Evidence Committee for the State Bar of Texas.
