History
Established in 2007.
On his very first day of private practice, Seth Kretzer was appointed to represent a man accused of killing 19 people in an ill-fated alien smuggling run in South Texas.
The federal government brought its enormous resources to bear in pursuit of the DEATH penalty.
When the dust settled, the Fifth Circuit unanimously ruled that this case was never death-eligible, and the client received a massively reduced sentence in prison. This was a far cry from the death sentence the Government asked for.
Going in, no one thought Seth had a chance. But after that victory, Seth knew he had found a niche for his talents, and a practice area where he could make a difference.
In the years since, Seth has stood up for defendants in courts from El Paso to Beaumont, taking over twenty appeals to oral argument, and filing dozens of writs of habeas corpus

Seth likes to say that to protect his clients’ interests, he would run through hell with a can of gasoline.
Seth Kretzer has devoted his career to the defense of serious criminal cases. A graduate of the University of Texas for both undergraduate business school, and then its law school, Seth was chosen to serve as Articles Editor of the Law Review during his third year.
After graduation, Seth served as a law clerk to Judge David Folsom of the Eastern District of Texas in Texarkana (federal trial court) and then for Judge Tom Reavley on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
After some time as a litigation associate at Fulbright & Jaworski (Houston’s largest law firm) Seth left to start a practice dedicated to criminal defense.
Seth has orally argued over twenty appeals, authored dozens of writs of habeas corpus in death-penalty and non-capital cases, and tried criminal cases to verdict in courts from El Paso to Beaumont.
