The name of the firm, Fiat Justitia, is the first half of an ancient legal phrase which lies at the core of its philosophy. The complete phrase is Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum, which is Latin for “Let there be Justice, though the Heavens fall.” This phrase stands for the recognition that justice for our clients and the community is a goal onto itself that should be pursued regardless of the consequences.
Atty. Arturo Reyes is was born in Comayagua, Honduras, but came to the United States with his family in search of the American Dream. Due to the injustices he witnessed growing up in a third-world country, this dream always meant being a criminal defense attorney, a goal he pursued with single-minded determination.
Atty. Reyes’s passion was recognized and he was offered a position as a prosecutor in Harris County before he even graduated from law school. While at the Harris County District Attorney’s Office (known for having one of the highest caseloads in the country), Atty. Reyes obtained valuable case-building and trial experience in both misdemeanors and felonies.
The pursuit of Justice is what drives us.
Despite being a prosecutor, Atty. Reyes always maintained a focus on the needs of the defendant, because justice has no sides. After leaving the HCDA, Atty. Reyes took all of his experience and converted it into results for his clients, achieving a 73.5% dismissal rate in criminal matters.
