Need a divorce lawyer that will serve your ex papers at the homeless shelter after you intentionally lost the house because you never made any payments? One that will try to get child support out of a stay at home Mom? Are you a wife beater and your spouse is now teetering on disability from your actions and you want to cut her out of disability benefits? Look no further, Neal is your man.

I have recently had an experience with Davis and Davis, specifically, Steven Steele. I was involved in an auto accident and had a problem with the insurance company. From the moment I met the Davis and Davis Team, I felt important and taken care of. The level of professionalism and respect that was given is unsurpassed. In speaking with others in our community, I found that this respect and professionalism was mutual between Davis and Davis and our community. Steven first made sure I had what I needed in terms of health care. He then assured me he would get this matter resolved and HE DID! I didn't have to go to court and the insurance company was responsive to Mr. Steele. I will use him again in the future if need be and will recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney that TRULY FIGHTS FOR THEM. Thank you Davis and Davis--The Whole Team, for making a TERRIBLE situation so much easier to get through, things definitely would not have turned out so well without you.

Mr. Davis handled my claim for damages very quickly and got me a great result far and above what I would have been able to negotiate on my own. The insurance company offered me very little for my accident (which was caused by someone who was texting and driving), and Mr. Davis secured a great result. I highly recommend him.

After my husband was in an accident with an 18 wheeler we knew we had to find an affordable attorney. We asked different people in our area who would be the best to use. Davis and Davis in Bryan, TX came highly recommended. After meeting with Mr. Steele we were very confident that we made the right choice. Mr. Steele and his team were very professional and always kept us up to date on what was happening. One of the things that I liked the most is they always returned phone calls or emails in a timely manner and would not put us off or keep us waiting. When it was all said and done we were very happy with the outcome. We would definitely recommend using Davis and Davis if you are in the Bryan/College Station area and need their kind of service!

Joseph recently represented us with a gas pipeline issue with one of the large pipeline companies in our area. We found him to be extremely helpful in negotiating our pipeline easement problem. He was able to help us gain a very satisfactory settlement so we could move forward in building of our home. He was able to help us understand a lot of the legal language as well as guide is in our decision making along the way. Through this whole process we felt we not only had an excellent attorney but also formed a life long friendship. We highly recommend Joseph for any kind of land issues you might incur.

Joseph was just what we were looking for in an attorney that specialized in negotiating the terms of a natural gas lease with a local producer. The lease the producer offered was typical in that it contained a lot of boilerplate language, filled with conflicting provisions. Joseph not only helped clean up the wording but helped negotiate far more favorable terms.

The complexities of a fast moving oil and gas development environment, coupled with three trusts and how they relate to a fourth made attention to detail vital. Mr. Briers was "spot on" with his review and assessment of a wide variety of situations as they unfolded over time. The confidence and security levels were and continue to be sound. He also was able to negotiate a complicated land acquisition for us. In the process, he kept everything clear, concise and to the point. We are proud to have him as a member of our ongoing team.

Mr. Sare represented a friend of mine in a family law case that I testified in. I was impressed with his competence in the courtroom and his thorough preparation for the case. If I ever need a lawyer in Brazos County, Clint's the one I will call.

Clint Sare is crazy smart. He is also very thorough. I very much appreciated that he would get back to me quickly and keep me apprised of what was happening on the case as well as what was not (DA not responding, etc). He strives for the best outcome. Highly recommend Mr. Sare!

We found Marie through internet searches for a guardianship attorney. She was actually the third attorney we spoke with and were impressed from the first moment. She listened carefully as we explained the situation regarding the need to gain guardianship of our 26 year old son and immediately began to restore our confidence and assure us we were in the right place. Over the course of the next several months she guided us through a very complex situation with ease. Not only is Marie highly professional, very diligent, very detail oriented, expreienced and extremely knowledgeable, she is also a very passionate and caring person. Unlike other attorneys i've worked with on other matters in the past, Marie was (and is) always easily accessible, and stayed in constant contact with us throughout every step of the way. And her assistant, Susan, is awesome, too.

After my accident in November of 22, I had the reality check of my life. For the first time in my life I really questioned my future. I have a young son who wouldn't understand. Worse yet, no means to ensure the stability of my family. I don't know how to begin thanking Brian and his exemplary team. I was completely lost before I was referred to his office. When I first came to his office I was met with a warm heart felt smile and comforting atmosphere. Gabrielle was the first on the team I met. She handled the beginning of my case with expertise and confidence. Quite the foreshadowing of the man who made it all happen, Brian Gutierrez. He exemplified the true confidence behind his staff. With the experience and versed knowledge of personal injury litigation I knew I was at the right place. He ensured that no stone was unturned and stood his ground when representing me. I would back this man in any battle, truly a gift to this unfortunate situation and friend to count on. Thank you Brian, if you ever need anything, just let me know and I'll make it happen like you did.

My brother and I both got in a car accident by a drunk driver back in 2022. Although the other individual was absolutely at fault, some lawyers wouldn't want to take the case unless my brother sues me when I was also a victim. I was very scared and discouraged as an international student, so I visited the school law center, and they recommended Brian. Brian, without saying any negativity, he gladly took our case. It has been a long time since the car accident occurred, but he has been fighting for us for more than year and a half, and finally we maxed out the policy limit and the case got settled. I not only 100% recommend him as a lawyer, but also his paralegal as a perfect team. Gabrielle and Sarah have been so nice and caring for this whole time. Thank you so much!

Even though we didn't have a case to build due to my wife being in perfect health and not neededing and treatment a couple days after her accident, these people answered all of our questions and walked us through the whole process on everything we wanted to know. Unfortunately and fortunately we did not need their services they still helped with a lot. They even offered a discount do to my service in the military without me even asking and it wasn't my accident. Very friendly and have great attitude and reply to messages fairly quickly. Thank you for y'all's time!

Josh is a passionate attorney who zealously represents his clients. He assisted us in reaching a favorable resolution when a larger company would have otherwise ignored and tried to bully us into bearing thousands of dollars of losses for that company’s mistake. Highly recommend and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

For better or worse, I have been involved in several situations were I was in need of an attorney. However, this time I needed a criminal attorney as the person that I gave a ride was carrying illegal narcotics. Even though I was pulled over for out of date tags, the police charged both me and the passenger with possession of controlled substances. Mr. Hilburn stood by me throughout the entire ordeal (both legally and mentally). He kept to his original price quote in spite of have to reschedule numerous times. This was a weird situation but if I ever needed a criminal attorney again, I would not hesitate to call Mr. Hilburn, again.

David Hilburn's handling of our case was simply horrendous. He was unprofessional every step of the way once we contracted his services and paid him in full up front. Phone calls were not returned for days, or sometimes weeks. He did not show up for two different court dates, even though we were specifically told to be there. Additionally we were told to be in court two other times that we did not have to be. Each unnecessary court appearance cost us travel time (we live out of the county) and lost wages. As we expressed our increasing displeasure with his handling of the case, his behavior became more and more unprofessional, to the point that he hung up on us during one of our final phone conversations. Despite telling him early on that we wished to plead guilty, take the consequences, and move forward, it took him three years and three rescheduled appearance dates (two of the re-schedulings were for his convenience) to finally get before a judge. Those three years were filled with unnecessary stress and hundreds of dollars of unnecessary expenses (breathalyzer, probation, and monthly fees) that we incurred while waiting months and months longer than necessary for our case disposition. We felt the results were far less satisfactory than could have been with a more professional, focused, caring attorney who could have worked harder with the DA to get our case concluded. His work method seemed to be that he puts every client into the same automatic processing template. And if your case is not cookie-cutter (ours was not) it seemed that his office still treated it as such, sending routine correspondence and appearance instructions that did not apply in our case. He didn't like being questioned, explaining options, or spending time trying to help our confused and scared client family members who have never been involved in any prior legal action understand what was happening. In summary, we believe that by using David Hilburn to represent us, we had a worse outcome and much greater expenses than we would have had with any other attorney. We would not recommend him under any circumstances.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You
A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.
Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:
- Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
- Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
- Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
- Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.
What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?
A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:
- Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
- Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
- Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
- Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
- Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
- Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.
Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.
How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?
Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
- Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
- Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
- Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.
The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.
How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:
- The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
- Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
- Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
- Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.
It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Litigation Lawyer
Before hiring a litigation lawyer, it's essential to ask key questions to ensure you're choosing the right representation:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Ensure that the lawyer has experience handling your specific type of dispute, whether it's a contract issue, personal injury, or business matter. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it's hard to predict, an experienced lawyer can give you a rough estimate based on similar cases. -
How often do you settle cases versus going to trial?
Some lawyers are more inclined to settle, while others may be more experienced in the courtroom. It’s important to understand their strategy. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Some lawyers prefer aggressive litigation, while others focus on settlement or mediation. Choose one whose approach aligns with your goals.
How to Check the Credibility of a Litigation Lawyer
To verify a litigation lawyer’s credibility, consider the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Ensure the lawyer is in good standing with the state bar and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and track record.
- Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they have handled cases like yours and have a record of success.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer to provide references from past clients who can speak to their effectiveness and approach.
- Research their trial experience: If your case is likely to go to trial, ensure the lawyer has a history of courtroom success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first consultation with a litigation lawyer productive, you should prepare the following:
- A clear outline of the dispute: Provide a timeline and key details about the legal issue you're facing.
- Any relevant documents: Bring contracts, emails, letters, or any other documentation that pertains to the case.
- A list of key players: Provide the names of individuals or companies involved in the dispute.
- Questions about fees and the litigation process: Make sure you understand how the lawyer plans to approach your case and how you will be charged.
- Your goals and expectations: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, whether it's a settlement, compensation, or another resolution.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your initial meeting with the lawyer is both efficient and insightful, giving you a better sense of how to proceed with your case.
