Local justice named Latina Judge of the Year – Gina M. Benavides – Texas
Tagged: judge, latina, TexasPosted on: November 11th, 2007
Justice Gina M. Benavides knew in the second grade that she was destined for a law career.
“I had a friend that wanted to be a lawyer and we were going to be the Martinez & Martinez law firm,” she said, referring to her maiden name.
The partnership never quite developed. But in the four decades since then, Benavides has accomplished quite a bit more.
After more than 17 years as a litigator, the 44-year-old McAllen resident was elected to the state’s 13th Court of Appeals in January.”*
