Alexander Collins ‘Alex’ Joyner, San Marcos Criminal Attorney

Alexander Collins 'Alex' Joyner is a criminal defense attorney in the San Marcos office of Dunham & Jones. He handles mainly DWI and assault cases, with most of his docket in Hays County, and he has handled more than 500 cases since he was licensed in Texas in 2019.

Born in Dallas, Mr. Joyner grew up at a religious institute that developed curriculum used worldwide, where he helped facilitate training for people from many cultures. He earned a bachelor's degree in business from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles in 2007. He spent four years as an assistant manager with Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Los Angeles and San Antonio, where he developed a sales training program for the region, then coached high school debate as an independent contractor, working mostly with San Antonio students from 2013 to 2015.

He earned his Juris Doctor from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law in 2018. During law school he competed in mock trial, worked on appellate briefs, and clerked for St. Louis trial lawyers, including Gallagher Law in 2017. He joined Dunham & Jones after he was licensed and has tried multiple jury trials, most of them as first chair.

Mr. Joyner starts from the premise that a case deserves attention on its own terms. He works through the evidence in detail and explains each option plainly, so the client can decide based on the evidence and the law. He practices criminal defense because he enjoys trial work, and this area of law gives him the most chances to stand in front of a jury.

Away from work, he plays soccer, fishes, spends time with his Shetland Sheepdog, Stormy, and helps low-income high school students with debate.
