About Guardia Law | Abogado de Accidentes · Dallas
Guardia Law, PLLC is a 100% family-owned bilingual personal injury law firm based in Dallas, Texas, founded and led by Managing Attorney Rolando Quesada (Texas Bar No. 24083694). The firm represents injured Texans in car, truck, and 18-wheeler accidents, wrongful death, premises liability (slip and fall), and workplace injury cases on a contingency fee basis with free consultations. Bilingual service in English and Spanish is a core part of its identity, with the firm name honoring Quesada's father's service in the Honduran Presidential Honor Guard ('Guardia de Honor Presidencial') in the 1960s and his mother's dedication to caring for children.
Guardia Law is a Dallas-based, family-owned personal injury practice built around one promise: every case is handled personally by Managing Attorney Rolando Quesada from intake to resolution, with no handoffs to junior associates or call centers. Rolando Quesada was born and raised in Dallas to Honduran immigrants, became the first in his family to pursue higher education, and earned his law degree from SMU Dedman School of Law and a B.A. in Economics from the University of Texas at Dallas. He has spent more than 13 years (per the firm's 'About' page) holding insurance companies and corporations accountable for injured people, bringing a litigation background that includes hundreds of briefs, Daubert challenges, and mass tort cases. The firm operates on a contingency fee structure — clients pay nothing unless Guardia wins — and offers free consultations in both English and Spanish. Published results include a $1,067,874.84 recovery for a client whose vehicle was rear-ended by a commercial trailer, causing serious injuries requiring emergency lumbar surgery and the death of her son (recovering every available dollar of insurance coverage). Guardia Law serves clients across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, including Dallas, East Dallas, Oak Cliff, Pleasant Grove, Casa View, Vickery Meadow, Northwest Dallas, Mesquite, Garland, Balch Springs, Irving, Grand Prairie, Arlington, Fort Worth, Plano, and McKinney. The firm is deliberately bilingual because, as its site states, 'after an accident, you are alone against a system designed to pay you as little as possible' and clients 'deserve an attorney who protects their rights, speaks their language, and understands what they are going through.'

The Name 'Guardia'
The firm's name is a tribute to Rolando Quesada's parents. His father served in the Honduran Presidential Honor Guard (Guardia de Honor Presidencial) in the 1960s, and his mother dedicated her life to caring for children in daycares. That family dedication inspired the firm's name and its mission: to act as a guardian for injured people when insurance companies and corporations try to take advantage. The firm also maintains a fully translated Spanish-language site (guardialaw.com/es/) so the Spanish-speaking community can access the same information in their language.
- Father: Honduran Presidential Honor Guard (Guardia de Honor Presidencial), 1960s
- Mother: dedicated her life to caring for children in daycares
- Bilingual English/Spanish website
Practice Areas
Guardia Law focuses on personal injury matters on behalf of injured individuals and their families. The firm does not handle medical malpractice — for medical-error deaths, they refer families to firms that do. Their core work centers on auto, truck, workplace, premises liability, and DWI-related injuries and deaths.
- Car accident lawyer
- Truck / 18-wheeler accident lawyer
- Wrongful death attorney
- Slip and fall / premises liability lawyer
- Workplace injury lawyer
- Catastrophic and serious injury claims (spinal, brain, amputation, permanent disability)
Truck Accident Practice
Truck cases are treated as a distinct practice because the legal landscape is fundamentally different from a car accident. Multiple parties may share liability — the driver, the trucking company (under respondeat superior plus negligent hiring, training, supervision, and entrustment), the cargo loading company (FMCSA / 49 CFR Part 393 cargo securement standards), third-party maintenance providers, and the truck or parts manufacturer (under Texas products liability law). Guardia Law leverages federal motor-carrier regulations to argue negligence per se when a carrier violates FMCSA rules under 49 CFR Parts 382–396.
- FMCSA / 49 CFR Parts 382–396 violations
- 49 CFR Part 393 cargo securement standards
- Respondeat superior, negligent hiring, training, supervision, entrustment
- Independent-contractor vs. employee classification disputes
- Texas products liability against manufacturers
Wrongful Death Practice
Guardia Law represents families in wrongful death cases arising from car and truck accidents, workplace accidents, premises liability, and DWI / drunk driving (including dram shop claims against bars, restaurants, or establishments that overserved alcohol). The firm highlights construction-site deaths — falls, electrocution, struck-by incidents, and trench collapses — as tragically common in the DFW area, especially under Texas's unique nonsubscriber employer rules. Guardia Law does not handle medical malpractice wrongful death cases.
- Auto and commercial truck collisions
- Workplace / construction-site deaths (nonsubscriber employer)
- Premises liability (inadequate security, dangerous conditions, drownings)
- DWI / drunk driving deaths, including dram shop claims
- Medical malpractice deaths: NOT handled (referrals provided)

The Legal Process — Step by Step
The firm's Spanish-language site lays out a clear, three-step process for prospective clients. Step 1 is a free, confidential consultation by phone or in person, conducted entirely in Spanish if needed, where the firm honestly tells the caller whether they have a case and what the options are. Step 2 is investigation: once retained, Guardia Law immediately pulls the police report, gathers evidence, identifies responsible parties, and sends preservation notices to insurers so evidence is not destroyed. Step 3 covers litigation, negotiation, and recovery — handled by Rolando Quesada personally. Throughout the case, the client pays nothing out of pocket; the firm advances costs and is reimbursed only if there is a recovery.
- Step 1: Free consultation (English or Spanish)
- Step 2: Investigation — police report, evidence, preservation notices
- Step 3: Litigation, negotiation, recovery
- Contingency fee: no recovery, no fee
- No upfront costs; firm advances case expenses
