About Clarissa Fernandez
Clarissa Fernandez Pratt earned her J.D. from Texas Tech University School of Law in 2009. She moved into public prosecution early in her career and spent several years in district-level offices in Texas.
She served as an Assistant District Lawyer in the Nueces District Lawyer's Office in 2012. Two years later she worked in the Bexar County District Lawyer's Office as an Assistant District Lawyer. Those positions placed her inside busy court calendars and exposed her to the routines of trial preparation, hearings and courtroom procedure.
Her time in government work gave her regular courtroom experience and a working knowledge of trial practice in Texas. She handled tasks common to district-level prosecution, including case preparation, coordination with law enforcement and appearing in court. The work demanded attention to procedure and to the schedules that shape criminal dockets.
After that period of public service she moved into private practice and established The Law Office of Clarissa Fernandez Pratt, PLLC. The firm operates in Texas and undertakes matters that reflect her background in district court practice. She manages client files, prepares pleadings and represents parties in court proceedings at the state level.
Peers and colleagues describe her approach as straightforward and practical. She tends to break complex problems into discrete tasks, and she places value on clarity in filings and oral advocacy. That approach suits litigation work; it also matches the organizational demands of running a small law office.
Outside the courtroom she participates in continuing legal education to stay current on procedural developments and state law updates. Her academic foundation from Texas Tech and her years in district offices provide the basis for her daily work.
She is licensed to practice in Texas and operates her firm from that jurisdiction. She practices at The Law Office of Clarissa Fernandez Pratt, PLLC, handling matters in Texas state courts.
