Subsequently, he worked as an intern in the private Law firms of Dr. Jorge Eduardo Pascual López, as well as in “Domblas y Abogados,” where he worked directly with its founder Lic. Jorge Antonio Domblas González+. After obtaining his degree, he participated again within a mining case related to Grupo México (SICARTSA). Later, he joined the Tax Administration Service (SAT) as an attorney, holding various leadership positions in both the Southern and Central Local Administrations. He worked in the Legal Department, specifically in the Subadministration of Amparo, Criminal and Special Affairs, as well as in the Collection Department, particularly in the Subadministration of Coercive Collection.

After accumulating extensive experience in nullity trials, amparo proceedings, and revocation appeals, as well as in administrative execution procedures (PAE) and tax offenses, he founded the law firm Treviño, Garduño y Asociados. During the following ten years, he primarily practiced in the fields of tax, administrative, civil, and criminal law, in that order, as a private practitioner. The client base included top clients, and general experiences were both positive and productive.
Upon dissolving their partnership, he joined the General Directorate of Parliamentary Support of the Chamber of Deputies of the General Congress of the United Mexican States to provide technical support to the committees. He was selected from profiles proposed by all areas of the Chamber of Deputies (including the Center for Legal Studies and Parliamentary Research-CEDIP) to be commissioned in the substantiation of the political trial instituted against Rosario Robles Berlanga.

He strives to break boundaries with determination and character, harvesting experiences and leveraging them in favor of the interests he represents. His commitment to ongoing improvement and adaptability extends to facing new challenges, including technological ones, and understanding their impact on human life. All of this is achieved while maintaining a generational balance and drawing inspiration from family (his three children). His passions extend to philosophy, history, geopolitics with a focus on global economic and financial impact, nature, science, gardening, food production culture, cooking, art, and more.
