I wanted a lawyer that I could trust and would want what is best for me in my specific situation. After doing some research, I found Randy's website and was immediately intrigued. After having a sit down meeting, I could tell Randy was a genuine person who honestly wanted to help me - and that is exactly what he did. Whenever I had questions or concerns, he was eager to explain and never took longer than an a couple hours to return my calls. I highly recommend Randy for his professionalism, trustworthiness, and his high knowledge of the ins and outs of law. 5 stars all around - you'd be a fool to not hire Randy Hall.

I called every lawyer i could find and no one would take my case. A friend of a friend told me to try Mr. Hall and i did. He took my case and did magic. Thank you so much! My family is forever greatful for helping us when no one else would. Mr. Hall made sure we knew what was going on every step of the way and made us feel comfortable. He was able to break the process down so there were no surprises. He was nice and easy to talk to not like some of the lawyers we contacted. He knows the law inside and out.

I just want to let people that look at this website know what a great bunch of men and women you guys are. Six years ago my family went through the most horrific experience. Our 9 year old daughter had a stroke and had to have a mechanic valve put into her heart.i contacted Rainwater,Holt and Sexton and was put into contact with Bob Sexton. For the last 6 years no matter when I need him he's always been there for me. I don't know what I would have done without these wonderful People. They truly care about people that they represent and their families. Thank you again,you guys are the best.

Mr. Sexton handled my auto accident case last year, and I couldn't have been happier with him and his staff. He was always available to speak with me about my case, and answered all my questions in a way that made sense to me. Although he was very professional, he is very personable and I felt more like I was dealing with a friend than an attorney. I would highly recommend Mr. Sexton and his firm, and would certainly use him again.

From the day of our first contact until our final meeting, we received amiable, astute, & prompt service. Trevor executed laudable representation for my family; consistently going above and beyond to take care of us. We hired Trevor for a lawsuit against a corporation due to trauma our child endured as a result of their negligence. It was a very sensitive topic that was difficult to simply discuss. He was compassionate, encouraging, and never pushed the boundaries of our comfort level. We decided to settle without a trial because of the emotional turmoil of having to extend the lawsuit. Trevor was a tiger in negotiations and my child was awarded with a satisfactory amount of money. We're grateful for him.

Brandon Moffitt was my attorney over the course of about a year. He solved several issues for me related to a complicated probate case . Several attorneys were involved and I was in over my head legally. He was my primary contact and counselor regarding contracts, property settlement, will writing, gas and oil rights....everything that "came up". He resolved conflict between family members and prevented disputes during a difficult time. He is a calming, professional person, willing and capable of putting out fires. He stayed with my case until probate ended and the issues I had were resolved enough to proceed without an attorney. In other words, he saw things through and made them better while saving time and money. His fees are more than fair and he was careful about never overcharging. He often answered the telephone personally and if not, always returned calls promptly. If you've ever hired an attorney, you know how rare it is to have an open line of communication. I appreciate that most of all. I would hire him again with confidence. If you want personalized, professional, timely attention along with resolution of a legal problem, you want Brandon Moffitt.

BKM has the best traits of two generations of attorneys. He has a very modern office with some of the best legal software resources at his disposal. He leverages his skill with technology to get things done very fast - without taking any 'shortcuts'. That said, BKM is not just another attorney with a smart phone, he is also old-school connected with the chamber, the bar association and other legal associations. This is a unique and awesome combination! I have often found that if BKM doesn't know the answer- he knows where to get it from. If you are paying by the hour- this helps keep the price down, and if you are paying for a fixed-fee;

The decision to have Trey on our side while treading through the stress of a custody dispute was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He is highly knowledgeable and informative. At times I would feel stress and worry become overwhelming, but eventually I learned that in a sense “no news is good news”, and should there be an issue arise that requires either your attention or his, he was prompt with his responses and advice. I knew that his advice was solid. I was discussing this with a friend of mine who worked for another firm in the past, and her response was “Trey is very good, and very reputable.” I highly recommend the Wright Law Firm!!

Unfortunately, you can’t decide when the most traumatic moment of your life decides to happen — when you’re driving home from the grocery store with your wife and dog, and you get T-boned by a drunk driver fleeing the cops at 100+ mph. Deciding to have Nader Afsordeh represent us through this process, however, was a decision we were glad — and extremely grateful — to have made. From that first terrible night until we finally settled many months later, Nader was not only an exceptional lawyer, but a confidant, sounding board, and the most dedicated advocate that we could have hoped for. Again, we wouldn’t have wished this experience on anyone — but we’re so incredibly grateful to have had had Nader by our side.

No communications on the part of our lawyer. Doesn't fight for clients. Doesn't reveal to them they are going to go on maternity leave and still takes cases. Dodges calls. Not worth the money they take from you to receive a settlement in a timely manner because you won't. A year of us fighting for our lawyer to fight for us. Do not recommend.

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.

  • 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.
