Biography

Meet Samuel Lyles — dui/dwi lawyer in San Antonio

Samuel Lyles is a legal director based in San Antonio, TX. The practice focuses on DUI/DWI, DV Defense, and General. Samuel has over 10 years of legal experience. Currently practicing at DWI Guys Texas.

Samuel Lyles is a dedicated and battle-tested criminal defense attorney with a passion for defending the accused and protecting constitutional rights. A former prosecutor with the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office, Samuel brings a sharp trial edge, deep courtroom insight, and an unshakable commitment to justice to every client he represents. His motto is that he defends every client as if they were family.

After earning his undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University, Samuel went on to graduate cum laude from Baylor Law School, where he honed his skills in trial advocacy and criminal law. Following law school, he began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in Bexar County, where he prosecuted a wide range of cases—including DWIs, Drug Offenses, Assault, Family Violence, Sexual Assault, and Murder. As lead counsel, Samuel never lost a felony case.

But Samuel’s dedication to justice extends beyond the courtroom. In 2022, as war broke out in Ukraine, he traveled abroad to volunteer in humanitarian efforts—bringing supplies, assisting refugees, and standing in solidarity with people in crisis. That same year, he returned home and shifted his focus to criminal defense, using his prosecutorial experience to advocate fiercely for individuals facing criminal charges across Texas.

Whether negotiating a dismissal or defending a client at trial, Samuel’s approach is relentless, strategic, and rooted in a clear understanding of how prosecutors think. He believes every person deserves a powerful defense, no matter the charge, and he takes pride in standing between his clients and the full weight of the State.

When you hire Samuel Lyles, you get more than a lawyer—you get a tireless advocate, a seasoned courtroom tactician, and someone who believes in fighting for people when it matters most.
