Sonia Rodriguez

Sonia M. Rodriguez is a native of San Antonio. She graduated from Burbank High School then completed undergraduate studies at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. In 1999, Sonia received a Juris Doctorate degree from St. Mary’s University School of Law, in San Antonio, Texas, where she served as an editor and a co-founder of The Scholar: St. Mary’s Law Review on Minority Issues. Since then, Sonia has represented individuals and families who have been injured or have lost loved ones due to the negligence of others. Sonia’s commitment to serving her community through honest and fair legal representation was inspired by her father, a passionate labor organizer and her mother, a hard-working and loyal former paralegal.

 

In 2005, and again in 2006, she was named a “Texas Rising Star” by Texas Monthly and Law & Politics. “Rising Stars” are chosen by their peers as being among the top up-and-coming lawyers (40 years old or younger, or in practice 10 years or less) in the state. Only 2.5 percent of Texas attorneys receive this honor each year. Sonia is regularly nominated by her peers as among the “Best Lawyers in San Antonio,” as published in SA Scene Magazine.

 

Beyond the practice of law, Sonia has provided unwavering support to a number of important civic and community causes. For nearly 10 years, Sonia served as Chairwoman of the Mayor’s Commission on the Status of Women in San Antonio. In 2010, she served as a Tri-Chair of Julian Castro’s master plan for re-envisioning the future of the city: SA2020. Today, Sonia serves on the Board of SA2020, Inc., the non-profit committed to data-driven community engagement in San Antonio.
