About:
Since completing my law degree in 2007, I have dedicated my career to practicing criminal defense. I gained initial experience working as a defense attorney at various firms before establishing my own practice in 2010. After over a decade as a solo practitioner, I am now a founding partner at Jones & De La Garza. My work encompasses all stages of a case, with a particular focus on post-conviction appeals and writs of habeas corpus. As lead counsel, I have successfully overturned more than 14 wrongful convictions. Currently, seven of my clients are listed in the National Registry of Exonerations, with another submission pending. I have also contributed as co-counsel on several other wrongful convictions. I serve on the Board of the San Antonio Criminal Defense Lawyer’s Association and am a member of the Bexar County Managed Assigned Counsel’s Oversight Committee. Additionally, I am part of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association.

"There is no feeling in the world like being able to have options. I want you to know that i genuinely with my whole heart appreciate you for giving me options. I’ve wanted for so long to just be able to do whatever i want to do unrestricted. Secondly I’ve known and dealt with so many lawyers and you’re the first one who actually cared. Thanks !!! It’s hard because i can’t even find the words but i owe you my life!!"

"Dayna is GREAT! She is not my dad's attorney but does represent him in his appeals but let me just say she called me back quick when I called her and left a message, she is fighting hard for him and explained everything to me when she could have just said to call his attorney. Thank God for you."

"Absolutely the best person I have ever encountered. Of course I have great family support but if I would not have met you I would probably be in prison. I just wanted to say thank you. From the bottom of my heart thank you !"

"This is the best lawyer I could ever ask for. I went through a lot mentally and she was there every step of the way. She fought and fought for me and basically saved my life and because of her, I had second chance to prove myself to be a contributale member of society. I would not have had that chance if it wasn't for her and believing in me. Thank you Dayna for all your hard work and everything you've done!"
