Mr. Franco assists clients with a wide range of legal matters with professionalism, empathy, and dedication. A native of San Juan, Texas, Mr. Franco brings a deep understanding of his community’s needs and is passionate about helping individuals navigate the legal system—especially those facing difficult and uncertain circumstances.
Mr. Franco began his legal journey early, graduating from PSJA T-STEM Early College High School in 2019 with an associate’s degree in criminal justice. He went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice with a minor in legal studies from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley just two years later. In May 2025, he received his Juris Doctor from Thurgood Marshall School of Law, solidifying his commitment to the legal profession.
Since joining the Zambrano Law Firm, Mr. Franco has built a strong foundation in the legal profession, gaining hands-on experience and practical skills that many attorneys don’t encounter until much later in their careers. The firm has provided him with the tools, mentorship, and real-world training needed to succeed as a practicing attorney. He takes great pride in delivering personalized legal representation and guiding clients through what can often be a stressful legal process.
In addition to his work at the firm, Mr. Franco is actively involved in community outreach through events organized by Zambrano Law. These initiatives allow him to give back to the PSJA community, foster meaningful relationships, and ensure that individuals in need of legal assistance know they have an advocate in their corner.
Mr. Franco is especially passionate about mentoring aspiring legal professionals. As a proud former member of the Legal Eagles Pipeline Program, he is committed to helping the next generation of law students find their path. He hopes to serve as a guide and resource for future Legal Eagles, just as others have done for him.
