About Armando Lara
Armando Lara was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. He earned his B.A. in political science from the University of Arizona in 2016 at age 19. During college he worked as a citizenship coordinator at a non-profit, collaborating with volunteers and lawyers to assist more than 100 legal permanent residents on the path to citizenship. He went on to St. Mary's University School of Law, graduating in 2023.
As a law student he interned at a medical malpractice firm defending claims against hospitals and doctors. Before joining the Gamez Law Firm, he worked as an insurance defense attorney handling premises defect claims and commercial trucking cases, which gave him close knowledge of the tactics insurers use to reduce compensation for injured people. He joined the Gamez Firm to advocate for injured clients rather than against them.

These results are credited to Joe A. Gamez Law Firm. A result appears under an attorney's own name only when a published source names them as counsel on the case.
A Bexar County jury awarded Brenda Steele $1,052,500 after finding a Martin Marietta employee responsible for a 2018 collision in a Walmart parking lot that left Steele needing years of spine treatment. Her adult daughter, a passenger in the car, received a separate and far smaller award for her own injuries. The trial court had removed the question of Steele's own possible fault from the jury by directed verdict before the case went to the jury. In April 2026, the Fourth Court of Appeals reversed that ruling and sent the case back for a new trial, holding the jury should have decided whether Steele shared any responsibility for the crash. Motions for rehearing are pending, so the reversal is not yet final and the verdict does not currently stand.
