About Iliana Villalobos
Iliana Villalobos is an attorney at the Villalobos Law Firm, where she diligently advocates for her clients in the areas of family law, criminal law, and personal injury law.
Her belief in the importance of education, a hard work ethic, and faith in Christ began at SouthTexas Christian Academy, where she graduated in 2014 as valedictorian. Upon graduating, Iliana went on to obtain a Bachelor’s of Economics from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
Her passion for advocating for others and her analytical skills led her to the prestigious University of Texas at Austin School of Law, where she obtained her Juris Doctorate degree, following in the footsteps of her parents.
Iliana’s commitment to her community goes beyond her legal career. She actively supports education initiatives through organizations like the South Texas Literacy Coalition and the Hispanic Women’s Network of Texas – RGV.

At the heart of Iliana’s life is her family. Working alongside her parents and relatives at the firm, she continues the tradition of treating each client with the same care and commitment as one would a family member. The joyous arrival of her son, Alejandro Emiliano, has added a new dimension to her life, blending the roles of attorney, advocate, and mother into a harmonious whole, reflective of the firm’s guiding principle: “We Fight for You Like Family.”
My purpose in life is to make a positive impact on others. I want to inspire and be a role model.
