A Strong Educational Foundation in Law and Criminal Justice

Xavier’s academic background reflects his longstanding dedication to the legal profession and public service. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from American Military University in Charles Town, West Virginia, in May 2011, graduating with honors. He continued his education at American Military University, earning a Master of Arts in Criminal Justice: Business Administration in May 2016.

His interest in the law grew stronger after witnessing young service members struggle to obtain adequate legal representation and understand their rights. Seeing these challenges reinforced his belief that those who serve their country deserve meaningful access to legal support and protection under the law.

Motivated by this conviction, Xavier pursued his legal education at St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio, Texas. He earned his Doctor of Jurisprudence in May 2024, building on his academic experience and commitment to advocacy. During law school, he worked with several veteran-focused legal services organizations, gaining valuable experience supporting individuals who had served in the military.

These experiences helped shape Xavier’s approach to the law, emphasizing preparation, service, and the importance of helping people understand their rights during challenging circumstances.

At Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C., Xavier focuses on personal injury law, with experience primarily in pre-litigation matters and additional experience in litigation. He understands that an unexpected accident can create significant challenges for injured individuals and their families, including medical expenses, lost income, physical pain, and uncertainty about the future.

Xavier approaches his work with an appreciation for the importance of clear communication, careful preparation, and client-focused legal representation. He recognizes that every personal injury case involves individual circumstances and that clients benefit from understanding the process, their available options, and the potential considerations involved in resolving a claim.

His experience with negotiations and mediations supports his work in evaluating claims and pursuing resolutions. Through these processes, he seeks to help address disputes, communicate his clients’ positions, and work toward appropriate outcomes based on the facts and circumstances of each case.

With his background in criminal justice and legal education, Xavier brings a broad understanding of the legal system to his practice. He continues to develop his knowledge and skills with the goal of becoming an increasingly effective advocate for the people he represents.

A Commitment to Veterans and Community Service

Service remains an important part of Xavier’s professional identity. His experiences working with veteran-focused legal services organizations during law school strengthened his desire to help members of the military community navigate legal challenges and better understand their rights.

Xavier’s long-term goal is to become a zealous advocate for the veteran community. He believes that continued learning, professional development, and meaningful service are essential to becoming the kind of attorney who can make a lasting difference in people’s lives.

Beyond his legal work, Xavier values giving back to the community. He participates in annual Toys for Tots outreach efforts and volunteers as a youth martial arts instructor. These activities allow him to support local families, encourage young people, and contribute to the well-being of his community.

His commitment to service extends beyond the workplace, reflecting the values that first inspired him to pursue a career in law.

Life Outside the Law Office

When he is not working with clients or handling legal matters, Xavier enjoys judo, weightlifting, and hunting. He also values spending quality time with his children, who remain an important part of his life.

His interests outside the legal profession reflect his appreciation for discipline, personal growth, and family. Whether participating in martial arts, pursuing fitness, or volunteering with young people, Xavier continues to value opportunities to learn, improve, and contribute to the lives of others.

CONTACT XAVIER IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:

Our Texas personal injury lawyers help clients who have suffered injuries in various accidents.

We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:

  • Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
  • Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
  • Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
  • Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
  • Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
  • Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
  • Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death.
