I first heard about Travis Ware while overhearing a fellow coworker discussing her divorce. From all appearances, she wound up getting the raw end of the deal. When she was asked who her ex husband had for an attorney, I kept my face buried in my cellphone, but I was all ears. When she said "Travis Ware," I made a mental note to remember that name. And boy am I glad I did! At that time I was in an abusive marriage that I needed to get out of, and I needed an attorney who would be able to circumvent all the tricks that the ex had up his sleeve. Not only did Travis deliver, he delivered in spades. In addition, his staff was awesome. Everyone was very supportive and made me feel as though I was the only client! Without reservation, I recommend Travis Ware to be on your side when going through a difficult divorce!

I could not have been happier with the result of my divorce case. Mr. Ware and his staff always went above and beyond to listen, advise, and keep me informed about the status of my case. His knowledge and efficacy in and out of the courtroom is unmatched. He is definitely the only lawyer I would trust to handle any legal issue that may arise.

after my husband was restricted visitation due to a mental case as an exwife Mr Ware and his assistant Suzy won every single thing asked on my husbands behalf. So many fathers alienated and to this day although she has moved to Dallas she continues the vicious cycle. If your in Lubbock or a few hrs. away you will not be disappointed in this man.

Our organization uses Zach regularly for various matters. We have worked with Zach for about eight years on an ongoing basis.

I would highly recommend anyone needing council to visit with him. You can be sure he will give you an accurate assessment of his abilities regarding your issues.

“THE” only Workers Comp attorney you should know. Draper DEFINITELY sets the bar in his industry. I hired Draper in 2016 for a Workers Comp claim. He has been on this case now for over a year and literally has guided me in every aspect. He was and is still my advocate. If you want a lawyer that keeps open lines of communication this is your guy!! I have never once had an issue with getting a return phone call or email and his response time is even more impressive. Even though he has had my case for 15+ months now I still get the feel that my case is very important. Draper is very knowledgeable with what he does and I am so thankful I found him!! So whatever you do make sure Draper is your first call! Don’t make the mistake of calling him after you realize that your current council isn’t making the cut. His office gives risk free consultations so this should be a no brainer. Take my advice, this is your guy! I should know, he won my case!

After early denial and very poor action from first attorney chris lee from leticia gonsalez firm (didnt even show for brc and failed to inform me he cancelled yet charged me office visits i never made and cancelled my brc without my consent or notifying me i found out 4 months later) i can only tell you my case was more than severely damaged,so i tried ombudsman which only made matters worse,much worse . I was so far behind the 8 ball with a 19 day deadline till contested case hearing when i desperately searched for an excellent attorney with skills in contested case hearings ..mind you many advertise they can help you buy once you mention these type severities or problems at this point,they want off the phone so quick they almost hang up chokin on their inaddequicies,and you will be quick to hear most say they dont handle contested case hearings . They just arent the real deal trial hardened type such as " Toby" Draper Rodriguez ! He worked so hard to obtain all my records and files from all the numerous places and Dr. In less than 10 days and was up to par and so far ahead of the game on our hearing day I was convinced of the very confident feeling i had on day one of hiring him and following my first consultation. I left his office with the first glimpse of hope i had to this point since the injury and all the anguish and pain and unknowing uncertainty started.Toby breathed life back into me ..that moment alone was priceless in comparison to how it feels to be losing your career and livelyhood and material things etc. Then the day came and Draper slayed them ..i mean he was a calculated assassin of delivering his knowledge which i might add he is a walking text book of knowledge concerning all matters of the workers comp laws and procedures . Incredible vast knowledge! He also has ability to read people and get on your level so you dont feel at all like the little man or confused . I highly recomend "Toby" Draper Rodriguez for any of your litigation matters . We whooped them that day! Thank you so much Toby! Words will never express how greatfull I am to have you on my side working that hard for my rights and what I am entitled to as humane ! Client as of may 19th 2014 and for life !!

I was struck at a stop light by a driver who was high, had no license and was in an automobile that wasn't registered in his name. He totaled my car, and struck several more along the way. I clearly took the brunt of the impact. Despite having run into a lack of coverage initially and a denial by the insurance carrier, Toby kept on the insurance carrier until they accepted liability for the claim. He was able to settle the matter for much more than I had anticipated. He took care of my PIP claim and negotiated reductions of my medical payments such that I was able to put a substantial amount of money in my pocket. He did this professionally, always let me know what the status of the matter was, did so in a quick manner after I had finished treating, and was reasonable with the amount he charged. It was a pleasant experience to have an attorney who treated me like a friend and not just another client. I would highly recommend this attorney for any personal injury work in the future.

I had called Jeff Blackburn in Amarillo who is one of the best in Texas and he recommended Rod for me. I didn't know him from Adam but he handled my case extremely well! In fact, once the police department found out we were using him and he began talks with them they began dropping charges one right after the other until I had no charges at all. I didn't have to go to court but once at the beginning to set a court date but he managed to avoid going to court at all and got all four charges dismissed! His secretary, Cindy, is extremely knowledgeable and kept me well informed of what was going on. I had two other attorneys who were on this case and each of them wanted me to accept a plea bargain. Rob has won some very impressive cases in Lubbock other than mine that wound up in tremendous monetary payments for his clients and one was against the Lubbock Police department itself.

I've worked with several attorney's in the past for various issues but I have yet to find an attorney so willing to listen and one that actually CARES about the outcome of the case. He is NOT AFRAID to speak his mind to you, or the D.A. If you want an attorney who will 'tell you what you want to hear' Rod is not the guy to go to but if you want an Honest attorney who will tell you how it is no matter how bad you messed up- he's the guy to go to. One thing is for sure, he gets things done. If you are still not sure if Rod is the BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN LUBBOCK just google his name- that should be more than enough info to convince anyone. He is not cheap but he is the Best. I know in Criminal Law you get what you pay for. "A lawyers opinion is worth nothing unless paid for" His is worth every dollar. Rod Hobson is the Best!!! Period.

After my father died recently I had no clue what to do. Dad's will appointed me Executor of his estate. Someone told me that my dad's estate needed to be probated. I did not know where to start. I did some research on probate lawyers, then called Professor James. He was so knowledgeable and helpful! We talked for almost an hour as he simplified what I now know is the probate process. He also told me that because my dad's property is in the Virgin Islands and dad had a residence there and died there, then the estate should be probated in the Virgin Islands. But he couldn't represent me. However, he had a shortlist of lawyers in the Virgin Islands that he could recommend to me. Wow! A lawyer turning down a case and recommending another lawyer! I was astonished. And then I asked him how much I owed him for his hour of consultation. He replied, " You do not owe me a brass farthing". Accept my sympathy for your loss, and all the best with the lawyers in the Virgin Islands. What a kind and compassionate man! I would recommend Professor James to anyone. May God bless him mightily.

I was involved in a case with literally hundreds of other plaintiffs. I always felt that Camie was honest and fair in their dealing with me but it was not until after the case ended that I knew just successful the firm was. I was involved in a case where a local coin seller was running a complex scheme taking orders and payments for products and holding the payments, hedging that he could buy the products cheaper in the future to fulfill the order. This all came to a crashing stop when several people placed large orders and the prices of precious metals skyrocketed making it impossible for him to fill the orders. At this point he also got shut down by the authorities and all his inventory confiscated. During the whole process Camie kept me informed, made workable payment arrangements for services and continued to be on the cutting edge as the case proceeded. Of the many people I talked to about this case, I believe the amount I paid for premium representation was among the most affordable Her results were absolutely astounding. My claim in the case received one of the highest payouts and I recouped among the highest percentage of my claim of any of the plaintiffs. I recommend Camie Wade at the Thompson and Kerby law firm to anyone who is needing professional legal help.

Sam Hawthorne is a brilliant attorney and capable of comprehending, retaining, and directing the most complicated of cases. He holds himself to the highest standard of ethics, both personally and professionally. He is a caring individual who recognizes the importance of his actions in the lives of his clients and does not take that fact lightly. Sam is well versed in accounting, which makes his advice of much more value than attorneys who recommend transactions without an understanding of the tax consequences of their recommendation. Sam is an effective communicator. Because he is respectful and genuinely nice, I have found that he is able to negotiate contracts to my benefit simply because he is liked. Sam is a humble man. He understands that his clients are people, as is he. He does not elevate himself above his clients, but instead, has a servant’s heart. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Having experienced a family tragedy it became an immediate priority to finally do some long delayed estate planning. Kacey was familiar with the circumstances and went above and beyond to help me work through every possible worst case scenario understanding that these hypotheticals felt very real to me. She easily handled all of the questions I had for her. What to me feels like a very complicated financial situation with layers of partnerships and trusts she had no trouble whatsoever wading through all of the information I provided to her. I later sent another family member to see her needing only the most basic estate planning and Kacey could not have been easier to work with. Kacey is first and foremost smart but also compassionate and kind and it made me feel so good to know she cared about this process just as much as my family and wasn't just ticking off boxes.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
