My Story

Cassandra Hernandez-Castillo is an accomplished civil defense attorney with a strong connection to the Rio Grande Valley, where she was raised. She attended the University of Texas at Austin, where she earned degrees in Journalism and Communication Studies. While there, Cassandra honed her skills in advocacy and clear, persuasive communication. She then went on to earn her law degree from Texas Tech University School of Law.
