Her commitment to ensuring that I was fully informed and involved in every decision was truly invaluable, turning what could have been an uncomfortable experience for my fiance' and me into a manageable and even empowering journey. Lisa's passion for her work shines through in everything she does, and it's evident in the meticulous attention she pays to every detail. Her diligence in crafting documents and procedures not only served our immediate needs but also provided a solid foundation for preventing any potential future issues.

When I had my car accident I didn’t know how to find a good attorney not to mention that my case was a bit complicated as I drive for Uber an missed 5 months of work as a result, so I just picked randomly. After going thru a few bafoons, I was recommended to Polo from my chiropractor. Whew thank God, because Polo worked on the “other [insurance] side” prior to doing what he’s doing now and it gave great perspective and a lot of time saving minutia to expedite my case. I have to say he was not at all what I expected. He was actually nice, bright, educated, efficient and really good at his craft not to mention great people skills and a pleasure to work with. When I first heard the excruciating news from the insurance company lowballing me I was in shock and Polo happily informed me that he would get a fair amount in the end…and we did. I was thrilled with the outcome and would highly recommend Polo to anyone who needs a good attorney!

When originally reviewing my case polo was adamantly set on fighting for a dismissal. Circumstances of my arrest and my own background contributed to this not being the end result that i received. However, as my charges were reduced from felony pocs to class b misdemeanor charges of lesser substances I feel this completely satisfied with the outcome. I recommend this man to someone looking to hire a true professional to work for you and with you.

After being hit in the rear I turned to Wayne Wright for assistance. They had good reviews online and I knew someone who had had a favorable experience working with them in the past. As long as the case went easily and potential money was quick to come by they were willing to take my case. They told me they could help me get medical care. But when we discovered that the driver at fault had provided false insurance information Wayne Wright didn’t work hard to hold the responsible party accountable. The case manager I was working with, Karla, seemed incompetent. She delayed in responding to phone calls and/or messages. And when she spoke she kept saying um, and had long pauses. Or she wouldn’t answer my questions at all. She sounded like she she didn’t know what she was doing. I complained about the lack of service and response that I was getting and someone named Jeff then called me. He told me what the next steps could be to proceed with my case. I asked him why that was my only option and told him that no one had explained things so I just needed to understand before deciding on what to do. But right there during the same conversation he released from being a client. He didn’t even give me an opportunity to say yes please proceed or no let’s not. He was yelling at me and very rude. Very confrontational. I asked him why he was speaking to me that way and told him I would complain about him to the company. He basically laughed and said the equivalent of ‘go ahead - it won’t change anything.’ He was right. No one did anything. At least not that I know of. Now I’m in pain with a damaged vehicle and paying for everything out of pocket to avoid having my own family’s insurance rates go up. I feel like I was victimized twice - once by the driver who hit me and the second time by the law firm that was supposed to help me. Don’t let this happen to you. Find some other reputable attorney with excellent customer service to help you.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney Jeff Biela at Wayne Wright law firm in Austin, TX, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. After my original attorney passed away unexpectedly, I found myself in a desperate situation with minimal time left before the deadline to close my case. Jeff Biela stepped in at the last minute and handled everything with incredible speed and efficiency. His dedication and professionalism were evident from the start. The entire team at Wayne Wright was exceptional. They worked swiftly to gather all the necessary information and maintained constant communication throughout the entire process. I was always kept informed of any decisions being made, which provided me with immense peace of mind during a stressful time. Thanks to Jeff Biela and his team's hard work, I achieved a very favorable outcome in my case. Their support and commitment truly made a difference. I highly recommend Jeff Biela and Wayne Wright law firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. Their expertise, responsiveness, and client-focused approach are unparalleled.

Joe took care of my family and I for several years. He made sure he communicated the complexities of the legal process in a way I could understand. He made sure I always knew where the case stood and gave me advice through the times that I needed it. I very much appreciate Joe for his service and will come back to the Zinda firm in case of any future troubles.

February 2016, is a blur to me. I was in a tragic auto wreck with my parents who died at the scene. Joe was there for my family until I was able to communicate, then he was there for me through the rest of my ordeal. One never knows what to do in the event a tradgedy takes place. Joe was there to answer questions and cheer me on my recovery. A little over a year later, I am well on my way to recovery AND the settlement!! I have no idea how or what we would have done without the expert advice of Joe and Sunday Law group. Thank you Joe for being there for me and my family during the most horrific time of our lives.

Every data here is documented and can be verified. On Oct. 2016 a family member was brutally killed as he walked across a street to get to the convenience /gas station. I signed Mr. Caputos to represent our interest. The following took place in the span of several months. when i met caputo I supplied himwith newspaper data that reported the incident, the first and final police report of the accident . names of witnesses i gathered from from the newspaper and the police report . He supplied the same given report ,a video he got that anyone could have gotten as this was FOI (freedom of info.) and a few pics of a dead body . Thats it. No data as as to names dates or results .what we accomplish? nothing. He stated he needed additional plaintiffs for the case after months later and Caputo still kept us waiting. Months of phone tagging, missing appointments and non action we parted ways. So the question is what did he do all those months ? Conduct an investigation? where? wheres the investigators name, new data Eyewitness statements, data of the scene? his interview of the driver? passenger ? All we had was what i had given him a police report a video that captured the incident and foul pics of my dead family member. Did Caputo researched the law for options? it takes Caputo months to strategically plan and implement a case.then why did the majority of other attorneys give us the same answers within a day. So months of nothing we let him go. Caputo sent a reply stating HE wont represent our case, although we might have a valid case, but he wont represent us, after we let him go? Realistically, we felt Caputo is trying to save face. we feel left in the back burner, when we moaned he reacted.. slightly. when terminated he gets miffed and states HE dropped us. childish reaction. Mind you a pedestrian got killed. FACTS 1. On videotaped it showed it wasnt dark. it was dusk not nighttime. There were large lit street lights on the corners including one over where the impact took place. there was bright lights from the gas station at the same corner there was bright neon lights from the conv. store /gas station, and restaurant across the same corner. 2 video shows pedestrian walked corner to corner. He didn't dart out between cars. there was no obstruction. it was an open 5 lane street It took him almost 15 sec to get to other side 3. the driver contradicts his version of what happened more then once Wife admitted to searching on the phone for a place to eat suggesting distraction, not paying attention 4. NOBODY deserves to be killed and shelved the pedestrian was . especially from your own counsel. Its a good ol boys Texas town with attitude. the newspaper reporter admited. the pedestrian was 60 years old Hispanic man. killed crossing a well lit at 3-4 ft away other corner. hit by a well to do white male at more then 40 mph flipping pedestrian in the air, landing over 40 feet away, breaking his legs fracturing his skull, lacerating his body and detaching his arm . Video shows break lights after impact. driver moved truck to appear it was sudden. we expected answers, we got NOTHING just excuses. Other attorneys gave answers within days, why waste our time, his time, the bars time. just say i don't want, can't handle, can't do, complete or win this case? Caputo just gave insult to injury.

After working with a few other attorneys for work over time, I have found EFLG to be most effective for my needs. They took the time to listen to my needs, provided extensive examples and resources to complete my work. I was provided with various options along the process to trade off time, resources, and options. In addition, the team maintained highest integrity resulting in a professional outcome with best possible results for the situation. I will certainly go to EFLG for my next legal matter.

Paul is a phenomenal attorney. He took my tough, bungled case when others wouldn't touch it. He listened. He believed my interpretation of the limited facts we started with and worked through the distortions and misinformation from the other side to craft an indisputable case of negligence. During frustrating periods of almost daily exchange, he was a steady source of counsel, wisdom and experience. It took longer than either wanted but he successfully settled with multiple defendants, securing 15X what others had advised me to accept. Today, I am pleased to count him as a friend. A plaintiff in need of quality representation will be in good hands with Paul Colley.

I was very confident when I finally decided I wanted Paul Colley to represent me in my accident negotiations. From day one, they did not keep me informed, they had staff turnover so I never knew who to call, and my case seemed to be on the back burner for over 2 years! I had to keep calling them for updates, and I was not happy with my settlement, but didn't want to waste any more time dealing with this attorney. I would suggest not using Paul Colley! He never took my case seriously!

Paul is a remarkable individual. I know attorneys have a bad name but this one is an exception. He took care of our bills while we were fighting for our rights. Drunk drivers should be penalized for what they do and that's exactly what Paul did in our behalf. We got our settlement and now we're moving on with our lives with a fresh start. He is caring, will listen to you as a human being and not as a money opportunity. The guy is solid.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You

A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.

If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.

When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:

  • Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
  • Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
  • Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
  • Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
  • Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
  • Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.

What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?

A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
  • Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
  • Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
  • Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
  • Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
  • Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.

How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?

Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
  • Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.

Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
  • Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.

Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer

Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with car accident cases?
    Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. What kind of compensation can I expect?
    Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  • Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
  • Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
  • Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
  • Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
  • Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
  • Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
  • Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
  • Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
  • List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
