As a pedestrian, being hit by a car is terrifying. I was left with multiple injuries and a long recovery ahead of me. The driver’s insurance company tried to downplay my injuries, but I wasn’t about to let them get away with it. I reached out to Sutliff & Stout, and their car accident lawyer immediately took my case seriously. They fought for my rights every step of the way, ensuring that I received the medical care and financial compensation I needed. Their dedication and compassion made a huge difference in my recovery, and I can’t thank them enough.

I was rear-ended by a distracted driver, and the damage to my car and the injuries I sustained were significant. The insurance company tried to lowball me, but I knew I needed professional help. Sutliff & Stout’s Houston car accident lawyers took over the case and handled everything with expertise and care. They negotiated a settlement that covered not just the immediate expenses, but also the long-term impact of the injuries. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Their dedication and professionalism were evident from start to finish.

After a serious accident at a busy Houston intersection, I was left with significant injuries and a lot of questions about what to do next. The other driver claimed I was at fault, but I knew that wasn’t true. I contacted Sutliff & Stout, and their car crash lawyer was incredible. They gathered evidence, spoke with witnesses, and even worked with an accident reconstruction expert to prove my case. The amount of effort they put into my case was astounding, and it paid off when we won a settlement that covered all my expenses and more. I’m so grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a similar situation.

I reached out to Rosen law firm, knowing Peter. He told me amazing things about Jeremy and his success. I had been through a personal injury case before and wanted to make sure I picked a reputable attorney to take care of this spine injury. Overall, I was extremely happy with the service I received from Rosen law firm. I do have to comment on the case manager, Gabby. Someone’s been through this before I know how this works. Gabby was absolutely horrifying to work with she was consistently rude and the worst to work with. She refused to provide me with the information that I requested. Over all I would highly recommend Jeremy and Peter for your personal injury needs, but ask that you do not have Gabby as your case manager

My experience with Rosen Law group was outstanding. Unfortunately, I was in an accident. They got my car immediately, got total loss wages to me very fast. I was sent for mri, got injections and chiropractic therapy. As soon as I recovered, got me max payout. I highly recommend this Law group. I am grateful to the attorney and entire staff that helped and guided me through all of this. Thank you Jeremy! I really appreciate everything.

Mac was great to work with. I was looking at some serious charges and Mac had the charges dismissed very quickly. The DA wanted to settle out of court, but Mac said no we are going to get this case dismissed and sure enough it was. Everytime I called him he made an effort to call me back. His fees were very reasonable as well. I hope I never have to use his services again, but just in case, I now know who to call. I was very happy with his services. Thank you Mac. You did a wonderful job.I couldn't be happier.

Words cant express how much I appreciate this man. My life as I know know it was finished by some unfortunate matter but he helped me work through it. The moment I made my first phone call to him he was by my side through and through. Never skipped a beat with Propper communication . His aim for dismissal is beyond me and i cant even express his passion for justice to be served correctly. thanks for being my attorney . He's definitely the right man for the job.

I am VERY satisfied w/Brian White’s firm & both of the ladies who worked on my case w/whom I’ve dealt in the last year or so. Ashley was the one on it the longest, & just got it settled this week, obtaining OVER $10K MORE than that w/which I had said I’d be satisfied! It’s been 2.5years since the accident where I was hit by an uninsured driver & it seemed like the insurance I had (St. Farm), who ended up being the one’s having to settle w/me, dragged their feet for MUCH of that time but it could’ve dragged on much longer had it not been for Brian White’s legal firm, friends have told me.
So I THANK🙏🏼YOU, Mr. White, Ashley & every associate who had any hand in helping my case get settled! I appreciate 👉🏼every one of you👈🏼!
Wishing you ALL a HAPPY🎉2024 Holiday Season!
Peace!

At first I thought this firm was about helping their client. Once they get you to signed their contract, it’s like pulling teeth trying to get in contact with your lawyer. The lawyer that you meet and signed with, isn’t even the lawyer throughout the process. They will change lawyers unbeknownst to you. They give you the run around. They send you to their own doctors. They tell you any bills that you receive from any clinic or hospital will get paid through the settlement, that is a lie. I am now receiving unpaid bills from the hospital that they were supposed to take care of from the settlement. They didn’t have my best interest at heart.

My brand new car was totaled after an underinsured driver ran a red light. I was unsure if I would even need a lawyer because my insurance seemed to be really helpful at first. I called Tony Denena anyway and he gave me some sound advice on next steps regardless of if I sought legal help or not. I was thankful for that, being that this was the first accident I was ever involved in. Sure enough, I ended up needing legal representation and medical care. Tony and his team were absolutely amazing. I specifically tried to avoid the super gimmicky firms that are overworked and make false promises. What I received with Denena and Points was personal, quality care and guidance from start to finish. I rarely heard from Tony’s legal assistants. Tony himself made sure he was available to me to answer any questions or concerns about my case, as well as any medical care for me and my daughter. This experience was traumatizing, but I’m thankful that I made the right choice in going with Tony. He’s on speed dial if God forbid I ever need him again. Thank you Tony and all of the team that provided my medical care!!

I have been dealing with Seana and Alex and they have made me feel so seen and heard about my case. Being a young black female it was extremely important to me to seek lawyers that I know would take me and my suit seriously and I could not be more satisfied with their professionalism and attention to detail. Not only were all legal steps done in a timely manner, but the information I provided and any opinion that I stated was accounted for. Thank y’all for taking a very stressful and traumatic incident in my life and not allowing it to be looked over.

My interactions with everyone at Shields Law Firm were positive. They are knowledgeable and explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand. Everyone was kind and respectful. I loved having Andrea represent us. She made us feel heard, understood our issues, and was able to be our voice when dealing with the fourth largest district in Texas. I never felt that Andrea misunderstood what we were trying to convey. In fact, she took my scattered thoughts and beautifully communicated them to the school and district staff. Before hiring Shields Law Firm, we felt completely cornered and felt that the school and district were only looking out for their own interests, not my child's. Only when they knew we were being represented did things start to move in a different direction.
I couldn’t be more thankful for their representation and won't hesitate to contact them again if we run into similar issues.

It was pleasure working with Ms. Yaret Salas and the team at Herbert Law Firm. I truly believe they worked tirelessly to achieve the best compensation for both my kids case(s). This accident has been very stressful but I am very satisfied with the service that both my children received. Yes, I was satisfied with the service included, due to being stressed about other things going on in life. But Ms. Salas and the law firm have made it so easy, and they were very understanding. Also when my sons father passed away Ms. Salas reached out to me with their condolences. They just made everything so easy and stress free. I truly recommend the law firm to anyone seeking professional and legal representation. Thank you once again to Ms. Yaret Salas and the law firm. I'm truly thankful.

From the moment the call began, he was incredibly professional and attentive. Attorney White took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all of my questions in a clear and concise manner.
What impressed me most was his in-depth knowledge of the law and his ability to explain complex legal concepts in an understandable way. I felt reassured and well-informed by the end of our conversation. Attorney White provided me with valuable insights and practical advice that I can use moving forward.
Overall, I highly recommend Attorney White of The White Law Firm for anyone seeking legal advice. The level of expertise and the personalized attention I received made all the difference. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I would not recommend this Law Pratice to my worst enemy. They do not follow up or return phone calls. When you first consult with her she sounds like she will fight for you but actually doing the work I'm not sure.
I have had to threaten if she can't handle my case then I will go somewhere else, at this point she finally gave me a call back. I have never experience such an lack from any law office I've worked with. I've left countless voicemails we started a simple case in August of 2024 it is now the end of October and I'm not sure what is going on with the case.
I have used TX legal for this matter and because of her lack I will also be contacting them today to let them know how working with this firm has gone. Please be aware and don't hold your breath.
Update. Thank you for responding ON Here. You said your firm contacted me as recent as last week... how did you contact me because I have not received a call back after I left several messages as recent as last week nor an email updating me on my case.
Yes, we discuss the complexity of my case and that is not the issue at hand, my issue is when I try to reach your office to speak directly to you there is no answer or call back. I've given it the benefit of the doubt because I'm sure I'm not your only client but communication is a foundation of service. I've checked my voicemail and email... nope nothing. Maybe I should start checking for smoke signals or carrier pigeons instead. I simply want a resolution. I trusted that you could get the job done, I'm just unhappy with the lack of communication and updates or lack thereof. It shouldn't take a negative Google review to get a response. Be blessed

I had a life altering accident and was not getting anywhere by working directly with the at-fault party’s insurance. Some of my friends that do personal injury flat out didn’t want to take the case as it wouldn’t be an easy one. By chance, I reached out to Johnny Papantonakis regarding another matter and I happened to mention my accident. From that day on, Johnny and the legal team at Roberts Markland did an excellent job with my case. If you want honest, hard-working, dependable, dedicated and above all competent legal representation- you cannot go wrong with this talented, skilled and compassionate legal group. I highly recommend their services. Thank you Johnny, Rob and Anjali!

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.

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.
