Bilingual, Bold, and Brilliant — The Lawyer Who Crossed the Aisle for Her Community

What happens when the person responsible for prosecuting criminal cases spends years watching immigrants and non-citizens navigate a legal system they don’t fully understand? For attorney Tayrin Wittenstein, it led to a life-changing decision. After 12 years as a prosecutor in Texas, she walked away from a secure government career to build a law firm dedicated to defending people who often feel voiceless in the justice system.

In this inspiring episode of Catch her Spark, Jen Maldonado sits down with Tayrin “Ty” Wittenstein to discuss her remarkable career transition, her passion for serving the Hispanic community, and the courage it took to leave a successful six-figure position to follow a deeper calling.

Ty shares how growing up bilingual on the Texas border shaped her perspective, why she believes preparation creates confidence, and what she learned from seeing the criminal justice system from both sides of the courtroom. She also opens up about entrepreneurship, building a law firm from scratch, hiring the right people, creating strong systems, and balancing motherhood with business ownership.
