Manuel Revilla
Paralegal
Manuel Revilla
Paralegal
I began my legal career in 2010 as a Social Security Disability advocate and later managed a Social Security Disability department, assisting individuals seeking the benefits and financial security they needed. Over the years, I have expanded my experience to include personal injury, medical malpractice, and negligence matters.
In my current role, I assist with client intake and work closely with our attorneys and clients throughout both the pre-litigation and litigation stages of a case. I take pride in helping wherever I am needed and in providing our clients with the personal attention, compassion, and respect they deserve during what can be some of the most difficult times in their lives.
I am a member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association (TTLA) and continue to pursue legal education and professional development opportunities to strengthen my knowledge and skills as a paralegal. I am also fluent in both English and Spanish, with Spanish being my first language, which allows me to communicate directly with our Spanish-speaking clients and help ensure they feel heard, understood, and informed.
I was born and raised on San Antonio’s West Side, just across from St. Mary’s University. Growing up, I admired the university’s architecture and history and developed a deep appreciation for the community and city that helped shape me. I am proud to now serve the people of the community I have always called home.
Outside of the office, I am the proud adoptive father of four children. Family, compassion, and service to others are important parts of who I am, both personally and professionally.
