Jesus “Jesse” Quezada, Jr. is an experienced trial lawyer, who understands personal injury and insurance defense litigation in South Texas. His lifelong motto of “work hard and be prepared” was passed down from his father and is reflected in his commitment and the results he has secured for his clients throughout his 31-year legal career.
His practical and transparent approach to resolving disputes and advising on legal matters is valued by his clients. Clients appreciate that Jesse is reliable and efficient with his time, billing, and legal strategies.
Calling South Texas home for 39 years, and Houston for the past decade, Jesse understands the experiences and perspectives of local juries across the state. This knowledge has led to his success in Texas courtrooms on behalf of his clients. He is fluent in Spanish, which greatly facilitates effective communication with clients and in the nearly 70 mediations in which he has served as the mediator.
Mr. Quezada has achieved the distinction of an AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest Peer Review Rating possible. This significant rating is a testament to the fact that Mr. Quezada's peers and members of the judiciary rank him at the uppermost level of professional excellence.
He is a former president of the Cameron County Bar Association, former commissioner on the Brownsville Planning and Zoning Commission, and former president of his parish council. He has provided pro bono services to those who may not otherwise have access to legal services through the Bar's Community Justice Program.
Jesse is a proud native of San Francisco's Mission District, and later attended Saint Joseph Academy in Brownsville, Texas, when his family relocated to South Texas. He and his wife of 42 years, Yvonne, have three children. They are now the proud grandparents of three grandsons.
Outside of the courtroom, his passions include cheering on the Giants, Astros, and the Cardinals, playing golf, and cycling.
