As a plant manager, I've seen my share of accidents and injuries. But when one of my employees suffered a severe burn in a refinery explosion, I knew we needed expert legal representation. That's why we called upon this law firm. Lamar DeLong and his team were outstanding. They thoroughly investigated the incident, gathered evidence, and negotiated a significant settlement for our employee. Their professionalism and expertise were impressive!

After being injured in a truck accident, I was confused and had no idea where to turn. I was referred to Zehl & Associates by a friend, and I’m so glad I reached out to them. Justin Warner took on my case and was incredibly attentive from start to finish. He made sure I was informed at every step and fought hard to get me the compensation I deserved. They secured a substantial settlement, and I’m forever grateful for their dedication and expertise. I won’t have to work for years to come and can focus on the wellbeing of my family. If you need a personal injury lawyer in Houston, look no further than Zehl & Associates.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney McDaniel and can confidently say that he is exceptional in every aspect. From the very beginning, attorney McDaniel was incredibly thorough, ensuring that every detail of my case was carefully considered and addressed. His timely responses and proactive communication made a significant difference, keeping me informed and at ease throughout the entire process.
What truly sets attorney McDaniel apart is the ability to communicate complex legal matters in a way that is easy to understand, without ever feeling overwhelmed. He was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide clear explanations, which was invaluable.
If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about their clients, I highly recommend Kenneth McDaniel. His dedication, professionalism, and exceptional service are truly unmatched.

John did an initial consultation with us about the tax implications in the handling of an estate. We were referred to him by a mutual friend. John has clear expertise in the area of estate planning and executing wills. It was easy to set the appointment and he clearly outlined our options and what he can do in his role. I would recommend him to those who are doing their own estate planning or who are executors needing assistance.

Troy Moore was extremely helpful to my family during very difficult times. After my father passed, he guided us through the challenging and confusing probate process. When my mother passed a year later, he again provided excellent help and support with our estate issues. Like most people, I had no idea how to settle my parents' accounts and deal with all the other legal issues involved when someone dies, so I cannot thank Troy enough for his work and support. He was always available to answer questions, clearly explained everything that we needed to do, and was always prompt and efficient with everything. I highly recommend consulting with Mr. Moore for any estate planning and related problems!

I was referred to Buckley Patterson after my car accident by our insurance adjuster. I was hesitant at first about getting an attorney because of my tendency to "lean away" from confrontation. John was very warm and able to empathize with me while at the same time helping me feel safe to look at the bigger picture. John is very relatable, has outstanding knowledgeable about procedure, and most notably, he checked in with me regularly about the case and made sure I was prepared before each proceeding. He maintains a strong personal work ethic.
I would feel great recommending them to all my friends and family in the future.

I was referred to Buckley Patterson by someone that works with them while at my barber. I decided to give them a try after I couldn't get a hold of the insurance company myself... best decision I could have ever made. John and Phillip made this process so smooth and easy for me. They explained the whole process every step of the way and were constantly in contact. I never had to deal with anyone else just directly with them. If you are looking for an injury attorney I highly recommend them. Just jump on a call with John and once you see how well he explains everything you'll feel as comfortable as I did having them represent you.

Mr. Cashman provided me with extensive free legal consultation in dealing with a particular "copyright troll". All I can say is please do your due diligence when dealing with these people, particularly hiring "settlement factory" attorneys. Also, please read all of Mr. Cashman's articles on his website concerning copyright trolls. It's a treasure trove of great information. Even though I didn't end up retaining Mr. Cashman for his services due to me being in another State, I would definitely recommend him if you're in Texas.

Joe Schreiber and his firm took on my case when a moving company committed fraud by changing the contract during the move and holding my property. Joe was responsive and got us a good result – he sued the company and got our money back quickly. It was a small case but helped me and my family a lot. Joe is an awesome attorney and I am very appreciative of the work in put for my family. If you ever need an attorney to get the job done do not hesitate to contact Joe and his firm.

Mr. Joyce displays character, competence, and commitment towards resolving each issue that emerges in our case. He knows our facts inside and out; likewise, he knows the applicable law and can therefore make well-reasoned decisions on how to proceed. He is very timely with his responses to our inquiries and he goes above and beyond to keep us informed of developments in our case. He thinks very proactively so we are prepared ahead of time for any twists or turns that may or may not emerge. We have great trust in Mr. Joyce's ability, and have also been served well by the support staff at his firm. We would certainly use his firm again if the need arose.

I have engaged Jeff on numerous occasions to assist with complex litigation related to the collection of large commercial real estate loans that were in default or bankruptcy. Jeff by far and away is the most knowledgeable lawyer that I have worked with in my twenty years of collecting commercial real estate loans. Not only does Jeff have a superior grasp of the law he also has extremely sound business judgement. I have observed Jeff in action conducting depositions as well as numerous court appearances and two trials. Jeff has the personality characteristics and skill that enable him to engage with judges in a way that allows him to get the judge's attention with respect to the position or point of law that he is arguing. Jeff has the unique ability of laying out a case plan and strategy in an understandable way so that the client is fully aware of the pros and cons of a given case. Jeff has my highest of references as a trial lawyer with the highest of ethical standards.

I am beyond thankful for the Kersh Team. They worked a lot of long hours for our case, and worked with me during some very difficult seasons, showing just how much they cared and were listening by the choices they made and how hard they were willing to advocate not only for my little one, but for our whole family, bc we had been through a lot already and it was with their guidance and inspiring fierce attitude that married together with guidance from God that I truly believe we were able to end this year in a peaceful mediation. It was an honor having Christian represent me. As we went throughout the process I was honored to witness such a fierce, collected, professional, and powerful feminine figure. One that will inspire me to model and grow moving forward. I thank God for a process that seemed in the longest moments, at times hopeless, was all meant for a bigger purpose that turned into what was promised of a hope and a future, maturity, and us as a team to victory. I knew from the moment I met the team that they were the one I was led to, that exceeded my expectations and more by treating our family with grace, patience, were wonderful to work with, mindful of our needs and concerns, and truly worked hard for the good of us. Thank you, truly from the bottom of my heart with no expectation for anything in return, I genuinely wanted to publicly thank you for how good you were from the start to us. 🙏 You are loved and appreciated more than you can possibly fathom! 🤍 Forever grateful! ♾️ God is truly good! ✝️

Shane Kersh is an excellent lawyer that is very aggressive in the courtroom. He and his team are compassionate about you winning your case. They will listen to your concerns, they will be there for you anytime you need legal advice along the way, etc. They are very informative and take the time to explain things.
I used Shane Kersh and his team for a child custody case and got exactly what I wanted- primary custody so I can keep my daughter safe. I am so happy I went with them- worth every penny. They were such a valuable asset in navigating my child custody case. I would not have been able to do it without them. I had shopped around for lawyers and no one was willing to help me- except Shane Kersh and his team. Super thankful for them!
