Antonio Cabrera Jr.

Antonio Cabrera Jr. is a Houston native practicing personal injury law in the city where he grew up, and that hometown grounding shapes how he works at John K. Zaid & Associates. What sets him apart among younger Houston injury lawyers is a foundation built through competitive athletics — years of team leadership that trained the discipline, communication, and composure under pressure that injury litigation demands.

That athletic path was genuine, not resume filler. After earning First Team All-District honors in multiple sports in high school, Cabrera took an athletic scholarship to Centenary University, where he started at left back on the men’s soccer team during the season that delivered the school’s first conference championship and an NCAA Tournament berth. He graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in Business Administration.

His legal training came at Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law, where he graduated in 2018 and was admitted to the State Bar of Texas the same year. Law school gave him two roles that map directly onto injury practice: as Justice At-Large for the Student Bar Association he oversaw student disciplinary proceedings, and as Negotiation Coordinator for the Board of Advocates he sharpened the bargaining skills that now matter every time an insurance adjuster makes a low offer. Before joining John K. Zaid & Associates, he worked as an associate attorney at a civil litigation firm, handling a range of matters and building his courtroom and client advocacy experience.

Cabrera describes his practice as driven by integrity and built through leadership, and his focus is representing individuals and families across Texas with a blend of compassion and results orientation. Off the clock he stays close to Houston’s soccer community, golfs with friends, follows the city’s sports teams, and spends time with his family and his two dogs, Canela and Esko.

He is a sensible choice for injury victims who want an attorney with strong negotiation training, litigation experience, and deep Houston roots — backed by a firm that has recovered billions for clients. Consultations are free and the firm charges nothing unless it wins.
