Ricka N. Martin-Tijerina
The Short Version
I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley and am a third-generation attorney. I started in litigation and insurance defense, where I learned how insurers evaluate claims and where they look for leverage. Now I use that perspective for injured Texans.
I like cases organized, arguments precise, and clients told the truth—even when the answer is not what anyone hoped for. Technology helps eliminate wasted motion. Preparation and judgment still do the real work.
