Mr. Stefan Casso is a Partner at The Fuentes Firm, specializing in high-exposure commercial vehicle litigation. A bilingual attorney originally from Laredo, he brings cultural fluency, regional insight, and courtroom credibility to South Texas venues.

Since joining the firm in 2016, Mr. Casso has devoted his entire legal career to transportation defense, building an impressive trial record in complex, high-stakes cases. His ability to try admitted liability cases to verdict—and secure results well below both settlement demands and jury asks—demonstrates exceptional courtroom skill and strategic judgment. His recent results speak for themselves:

• Zero-dollar verdict in a Corpus Christi case with two plaintiff surgeries and admitted liability (plaintiff demand: $4 million, settlement offer rejected: $650,000)
• $314,000 verdict in a Corpus Christi case involving four surgeries and admitted liability (plaintiff demand: $4 million, settlement offer rejected: $800,000)
• $157,000 verdict in an Eagle Pass case with surgery and admitted liability (plaintiff demand: $2.5-3.5 million, settlement offer rejected: $350,000)
• $100,000 verdict in an Austin case with surgery and admitted liability (plaintiff demand: $2 million, settlement offer rejected: $400,000)
• $10,000 verdict in a South Texas case with two plaintiffs and surgery recommendations (plaintiff demand: $1.2 million, settlement offer rejected: $200,000)

Mr. Casso earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Houston Law Center and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Rhetoric & Writing from The University of Texas at Austin, along with a Certificate in Business Foundations. Before joining the firm, he interned for Judge George P. Kazen of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas in his hometown of Laredo.
