Mr. Heller took my phone call in a short notice, and gave me a free consultation the very next day.
Really glad with the results and outcome that I referred him to my friends and family.

Just a "short" 15 minute "free" phone consultation. An excellent tactic to gain clients. David knows his "stuff". Unfortunately, I've dealt with a lot of lawyers in my life. David asked the "right" questions, and came up with several possible solutions. I plan to hire him.

Mr. Heller took my personal injury case after a major accident that me and my 3 children were in. He fought to get the max amount for all of us. If I ever need another personal injury (hopefully I don’t but.. if I do) I will hire him again. He is straight forward with you and honest.

I am a prosecuting attorney and have developed a strong respect for his professionalism and his commitment to his clients. I have referred a number of potential personal injury clients to Ben because I am confident that he will competently and honestly represent their interests.
When my wife and I were in a bad auto accident in 2019 I trusted Ben to handle our case. He did an excellent job and I would recommend Ben Hoover without reservation.

Ben Hoover is the man for the job! He handled EVERYTHING for me when my car was rear ended last summer. He is very honest, hard working, and dependable. He was very timely and on top of things from beginning to end and left me no room to worry. If you're looking to hire an attorney, contact Ben to handle your case.

I really appreciate how responsive and available Mac was when I texted with questions. He was patient with my anger about my situation, and empathetic. He is open, but does not exaggerate or just tell you what you want to hear. He saw my case through to a successful conclusion. Compensation was agreed to up front, with no nickel-and-diming later. Dealing with Mac is how dealing with a lawyer should be.

I had the devine intervention of getting to know and receive legal advise. From the moment that I spoke with Mac MacKeand, he provided a sense of relief and peace of mind. This is what made it so easy to communicate with and easy to talk to. He always provided great feedback and trusted him blindly throughout the entire case progression. I would seek his legal advise in a heartbeat and would therefore highly recommend his services to anyone.

From the first conversation I had with Jeffrey and his law firm I knew I had made the right decision. They made me feel comfortable and at ease about the entire situation. Their hospitality and patience with me made me feel as though I was family opposed to a lawyer I had hired. Questions or things I didn't understand were answered promptly and professionally. I would most certainly recommend Jeff's law firm to anyone who is in need of a great lawyer!

Dallas attorney Mr. Jeff Rasansky advised us on a lawsuit brought against us...it was dismissed! Without his meticulous approach I don't think the long term outcome would be as great as it is. I continue to see his genius in how he wrote the final papers that protected us and allowed us to continue our business and function at a high level. He was always professional and courteous, responded immediately to all questions. In fact, he pulled over and parked during a rode trip to respond to a simple email. What an incredible dedicated lawyer! It reminded me of the medical profession when a physician puts patient's health before their own. Thank you Jeff!

Our personal attorney recommended Mr. Walton after I experienced a fall in a D/FW area business. Historically, "slip and fall" cases are not lucrative/successful in Texas, but Mr. Walton and his staff felt that my case was unique. We proceeded to consult, gather information and proceed after I was released from medical care. Then Covid happened. It was frustrating for everyone, as the legal system came to a halt. Walton and his staff proceeded by gathering information, exploring options, and ultimately reaching a settlement that was satisfactory to me. I'm grateful to everyone in his practice for their time, caring attitudes, expertise and encouragement. I hope I never need a personal injury attorney again, but if I do, I'll call Mr. Walton.

I contacted Anderson Law Firm right after my car was hit by an uninsured motorist. They assigned me to Robert and I'm extremely happy they did. You wouldn't think that your own insurance company would completely fight against an accident that wasn't your fault and drag out the case as long as humanly possible but Robert fought very hard for me. All I had to do was focus on getting better and Robert and his team handled the rest in paying my medical bills with the settlement and I even had done left for me in the end given how much my medical expenses were. I would recommend Robert wholeheartedly to all my friends and family. Thank you so much for what you did for me. I will never forgot your hard work.

Robert is a smart, caring, aggressive lawyer. Robert represented me after I was in a bad car accident. My case was complicated and he very skillfully navigated all the facets of my case.

If you are looking for a family lawyer Kim Kleinhans and her team are amazing. I would highly recommend this law firm, they go above and beyond to make sure they listen to what you want and need. They will also do the same when it comes to representing you and your family in your case. Kim represented me in a Child Custody case and put in a lot of long hard hours over many months and helped us get the outcome we wanted. She was always very responsive and quick to answer to my emails, calls and texts. Any kind of advice I needed at the time, she was there to help. Kim and her team were always super respectful to us and let us know the truth about what we wanted to try and accomplish. I will always come back to this law firm in the future.

Kim, Keith and team secured settlement of my personal injury case.

Mr. Minton was hired to represent me in a case where I was being sued by a former tenant of a commercial property that I owned. During the entire process he not only clearly advise me on the facts of the case which allowed me to make informed decisions on how to prosecute the matter but he also helped me to understand how each decision I made would affect the cost of the representation versus the risk of losing. In the end we won and the cost of representation was very affordable.

Patrick Kelly handled my case last year and did a good job. I had my case with another law firm in Dallas, but they never did anything and said they could not recover for me. Patrick took my case and he made a claim with the court. He made me comfortable giving my live testimony to the insurance lawyers. He got all my bills paid. And I got 3 times the amount of money in my pocket than the insurance company offered the first lawyers (even after paying my bills and attorneys fees). I would recommend him too.

I truly recommend hiring Christopher Bellow as your attorney. I was very impressed with him the first time I met him, because of his pleasant personality and deep concern regarding my situation. He was very easy to talk with, and assured me he would do the best he could to solve my appeal, which he did. The settlement was rectified in record time. A very nice man!

As a non-resident of the State of Texas and facing the unknown of Texas probate law, I contacted Attorney Mary Brown to provide a consult and recommendation as to the best course of action for me to pursue in closing out the estate of a deceased friend who had named me their executor. Mrs. Brown came to the consult well prepared to address my specific situation and laid out, step-by-step, the best route to pursue with respect to both time and preservation of the estate assets. I am extremely grateful for her assistance and I highly recommend her services for probate matters.

I'm a sinlge mother and my son has severe disabilites that limit everyday life for a young child. I recently started tto get back on my feet when the unthinkable could ever happen to anyone that have children with any disability. My landlord was evicting me and my family for any reason he could come up with because he didn't want my son to destroy his property. It took everything I had to get in the house so my son could have an enviroment that he could be safe in. I researched a couple of attorney's and I was so strtessed she was the thrid name on the list and I called. Kathleen was extremely personable and way beyond reproach. I knew when I spoke with her on the phone I found somone I that would take care of my situtation with the upmost trust. After I met with her she filed an answer and prepared me for the court hearing. She is amazing she knows the law very well and she fights for justice. If I ever need someone in my cornoer again she will be the first I call. She not only cared about the case she cared about me and my family. I am so very thankful that she took this case and my son and I still have a home. If you need someone to be in your cornor I highly recommend Mrs. Kathleen Brown, the integrity she has is above all the rest.

After my accident, I was experiencing a constant headache and neck/shoulder pain. Because of the headache, I could not concentrate or think straight. Paperwork was coming in from insurance companies asking me to sign and return the paperwork. The forms and papers appeared very important but I didn't really know what I would be signing.
So, in an effort to think about myself and concentrate on "getting well", I decided to contact Bill Altman. After our initial consultation, I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. It took @ six months to recover but at least I did not have to be concerned with insurance companies and papers. Mr. Altman and his staff took care of everything for me. His assistant, Grace O'Neal was so gracious and gathered all of the information he needed to take care of my accident.
I highly recommend William Altman. He is professional and ethical.

Mr. Altman is the best lawyer my family has ever hired. He is straightforward and works for you. Mr. Altman settled my case in about two and a half months which is no time for the incident I was in. Anytime he heard news from the other corporations he would call me within the same day and he always returns your phone calls as soon as possible. I am very satisfied how everything worked out and in the short amount of time it took.

When faced with an unfortunate situation and feeling helpless, I reached out to Nick Feizy.
Nick's professionalism, character, knowledge and respectful behavior automatically put me at ease. He worked with due diligence and at most care to handle my case. I've dealt with several attorneys through time, however I had not met one that ensured that my case was just as important as his other clients. I am very pleased with the outcome and I highly recommend Mr Nick Feizy.

I came to Feizy Law with a very small case earlier this year. Not only did Nick and his paralegal, Lucy, treat me with respect and kindness, but they also didn't treat my case any differently than their larger cases. The two of them made everything from setting up medical care to communication with the insurance agents, go smoothly and effortlessly. Nick demonstrated true professionalism by promptly working on my case, caring about my situation, and communicating with me on a regular basis. I never felt like I didn't know the status of my case.
It is clear that Nick takes pride in helping people in a time of need, through diminishing the stress of the overwhelming world of law and insurance.
All in all, I had an amazing experience with Feizy Law. They are great and caring people. In the unfortunate event that you need legal help, you need Nick and Lucy! They are honest, fair, and more than I could have ever asked for.

Mr. Beckcom handled a maritime case for me concerning my deceased husband. He and his staff were excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable and left no stone unturned as far as details and research for this case. One aspect I truly appreciated was the constant communication and willingness to explain what was happening. In my opinion, he truly cares about the cases he accepts and treats his clients with respect and professionalism. If the need were to arise for an attorney in the future I would not use anyone but Brian Beckcom.

Working with Brian has been a great experience. He is one of the most honest people I have had the honor of knowing, and he makes sure I know exactly what my best options are. He is trustworthy, and once you become his client, you definitely know you're getting the best legal advice out there.
I spent a lot of time looking for the right attorney, but the moment I came across his firm, I knew they were the right people to help me, and talking with Brian sealed the deal. I wanted him to represent me.
Hands down, I would recommend him to anyone who needs a maritime/admiralty attorney.

Steve Smith runs circles around all of the personal injury attorneys that I have met and being in this industry I have come to know a lot of them! He presents well, he speaks well, he has extensive knowledge on personal injury claims, and he has shown exceptional work in the office as well as in the courtroom. Living in The DFW metroplex, we are at a higher risk of being involved in a motor vehicle accident due to the population and the percentage of our population that owns a vehicle. I can honestly say that I would not entrust any potential claim to anyone other than Mr. Smith. From my experience in not just being represented, but also from working with him, I have seen him truly help his clients and get them the best outcome possible. If you are searching for an attorney I highly recommend Dusty. If you are looking for a law firm, I highly recommend Reyes Browne Reilley.

Linda Akwa represented me in my Daughters custody case.
My case was a complicated case. My Daughter's grandmother opened the suit claiming she had taken care of my Daughter for over 6 months and was trying to take her away from her Mother while the whole time my daughter was living with me. After a few appearances representing myself in court I saw the complexity of this case and decided I would need legal representation. I talked to several attorneys and none stood out, assistants could not answer most questions, lawyers were taking too long to call back, some said they would not take on my case, etc. I talked to Linda's assistant and she was able to answer all my questions and her office was always responsive. I was impressed with the professionalism all around. Linda was able to bring out facts in court and together with her hard work, dedication to her profession, her knowledge, experience she brought it all in court and won my case. I am impressed and Blessed to have had her represent me. She is who I refer people to when people ask about a lawyer now. God Bless her for everything she has done.

I had a car accident about 3 years ago, it was the other Drivers fault. I tried handling it myself with the help of my family as we have some knowledge of the process of filing suite against the Insurance company. I filed the Civil Lawsuit a few days before the 2 year statute of limitations. We thought we would hear back from their attorneys but Allstate tried to have the suit thrown out 4 months later for not moving forward with the process.
Long story short, I retained Kimberly Fitzpatrick to represent me on the matter when it seemed that the case was about to be thrown out for the above reason. She was able to pull the lawsuit out of the gutter and not only get me the $7500 I paid in Medical Expenses, but also got my lost wages while working as a Server (I was in College at the time of the Accident) when the Restaurant was not willing to give the proper documentation to press the issue of the wages in Trial.
Kimberly got both amounts of money out of the Insurance Company plus $2000 over through a Settlement when it seemed like the Judge could've thrown the case out for it being too old. What she accomplished with what she had to work with was nothing short of Magic. I highly recommend her for Civil Suit because I could tell from her tenacity and work ethic, She would have been the Defense Attorney's worst nightmare in trial.
My only complaint is that she waited until we were in the mediation to settle to start picking holes in the case. I will say, they were issues that I could see hampering the case at trial. Mostly, the lack of documentation for my lost wages would have taken $4000 off of the final amount. Most likely, pain and suffering would not have covered that amount. Ultimately, a Settlement was the best course of action that led to the largest amount of money I would have received.
You WILL NOT regret hiring Kimberly Fitzgerald.

I was injured in a auto accident in 2012 and retained Kimberly as my legal counsel. The firm also handled my divorce the prior year. For 2 years Ms. Fitzpatrick held my hand through multiple surgeries and pain management. Despite her busy schedule, she always returned my calls and frequently checked in on my well being. A genuine human being who really cares. My case was settled in less than 2 months and thanks to Kimberly's expertise, I walked away better than I could have imagined.. If you have been injured in an auto accident, I highly recommend the Harris-Cook law firm. Thank you for everything Kimberly!

First of all I wanted to say that with the help of Kimberly Fitzpatrick, my case got dismissed.
Disclaimer: do not take my word for legal advice.
In short- I was arrested for scavenging an abandoned (bait) car. This was early November.
This was my first offense.
At the time of arrest I was working self-employed less than 15 hours a week for my father, mother, and mother’s friend. I was also a househusband. I feared that the lack of employment, community participation, and education (I am a non-graduated junior student at the college level), and my age (23) would negatively impact the outcomes of this charge.
The first court date was December 3rd. That day I did not successfully get a lawyer so the court date was postponed to the 13th in order to give me time to get a lawyer. I had emailed Anna O’Day because she was one of the several lawyers who sent me mail. She sent me a detailed report on how she would handle the case. (Deferred Adjunction & said that I was not qualified for Deferred Prosecution Program (DPP)). After reading her email I was impressed and told her she was hired. For three days I did not hear back from her. She was consistently stuck in court each time I called her secretary. It was December 12th. I got desperate and discussed with my girlfriend to see if she was willing to look for the best lawyer, so I checked avoo.com and saw an AD for Fitzpatrick. I did not screen out lawyers based on practice. If I recall correctly, Fitzpatrick’s cases only consisted 10% in criminal defense. She is more experienced & specializes in a different type of law. Anyway, I called her that day and immediately had an appointment at 2. I had withdrawn 625 and kept it in my wallet for O’Day- her price for “three court appearances”. I was unsure what exactly three court appearances meant. But after three days of unavailability, I got scared and went to Fitzpatrick instead. She offered to stay with me through the case for 1,500. That seemed more of a solid contract than “three appearances”. What if I needed 4?
So, right then that day, the very day before my second court date I hired her and within 15 minutes she got my first court attendance dismissed.
She works extremely fast, is very knowledgeable and pushes the limit. O’Day said that I was not qualified for DPP since I was above 21. But Fitzpatrick said she would shoot for that and she attempted to request an exception since I was barely above the age limit. Fitzpatrick’s devotion towards getting the best results for me was very obvious- but she remained honest and practical with me. My only issue I had is that she sometimes would skip out answers to a list of questions I asked. But she is very busy and works fast, so I can’t really blame her. I just ask again and she will answer it on the second time. She is very tech-savvy. She answers via text or email.
She suggests that I get a job, get in school, get character letters, and do community service before my case was even heard. I had success getting in school and I got plenty of character letters from various influential people. I did not have success in finding a job, and I was not motivated enough to do 40 hours of community service hours.
The court hearing- Fitzpatrick talked with the DA and I could see that she had excellent people skills- It seems to me that her actions and attitude helped a lot to making the DA decide that I was eligible for dismissal! I had to take Theft Intervention counseling and perform 24 hours of community service where I completed at Mission Arlington (THEY ROCK.)
So today I got the dismissal documentation in email. Fitzpatrick had far exceeded my expectation of a “best case scenario”. I will go straight to her again if I need an attorney again in the future.

I can’t stress enough how amazing this law firm is. Marina De La Garza went above and beyond as my lawyer. She was on top of everything with my case, let me know everything that was going on with my upcoming court date, advised me what to do to help my case and ultimately got my misdemeanor case dismissed.

I had nothing short of a great experience with Dan Ducote. I spoke to a couple of other lawyers before working with Dan but none of them seemed to take a personal interest in my case the way Dan did. Dan was right beside me every step of the way in dealing with my case, knew exactly how to get the law to work for me and got me a great result. From the very start Dan was straightforward, friendly, honest and genuinely concerned about me and my family. I can't imagine going to anyone else if I ever have another issue.

Mullen & Mullen Law Office was recommended to me by a co-worker who had used this firm many years ago after a severe 18-wheeler wreck, and he had nothing but good things to say. So, after my immediate family member was killed on a roadway, I met with Shane to discuss our options. After our first meeting, I felt that Shane truly cared about us and I felt that I could trust him and his staff. His office kept us in tune with the status of our case at all times, and that allowed us to focus on our emotional recovery. In the end, Shane was able to maximize all available limits from multiple sources, and to say the least, we were all very impressed with the amount he recovered for our loss. I highly suggest anyone who has suffered a tragic loss or injury to at least meet with Shane before choosing a lawyer.

I deal with many attorneys in my line of work and, unfortunately, I would never hire most of them. When I interviewed Shane Mullen to represent me he took more than ample time to find out about my needs and my expectations. He exemplified a man of high ethical and moral standards of doing what is right and just and came across as very caring, considerate and empathetic. Shane explained ALL the options available to me, the percentage of success I could expect and the cost of each option, and even his fee structure was remarkable. Shane and his entire staff were exceptional, professional, courteous, compassionate, and above all fair. Even though my case was not a huge moneymaker, I felt like I was treated as a member of his family as he personally walked me through each and every step of my healing an eventual lawsuit. Shane personally returned every phone call and never made me feel like my questions were dumb or rushed me through explanations. This is the first time I can honestly say that I enjoyed dealing with an attorney, I know he did everything in his power for me with the best possible outcome. Thank you Shane, I so very much appreciate you! *****

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:
-
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. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
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.
