My husband & I needed wills for both of us and post nuptial agreement. Eric was recommended by a friend in Richmond, TX where he represented us. It was a process due to second marriages for both of us, but Eric helped us work through the process. After completing the process, we felt a sense of relief having plans in place that we are both happy with.

My husband and I live in Sugar Land. When looking for an attorney to update our wills and create a special needs trust for our daughter, we started looking for recommendations. I got several and looked at their reviews. I couldn't choose any of them. Their reviews were horrible. One day driving to Richmond, I saw a billboard for Eric Junker Law Firm. I looked at the website and found he was known for special needs trusts. Then I saw the reviews! One of the best decisions I've ever made. Competent, professional, work done in a timely fashion, and way less costly than I had anticipated. I'm so totally relieved to have this done so I don't need to worry. Best part of all, Eric is very personable and the process was totally painless!

Ms. Chiang has helped me with my case at the VA and was able to secure the benefits and medical treatment that I earned. She will see everything through and ensure that claims are properly navigated through the complex legal system at the VA. I would recommend speaking to her before risking getting stuck in any one of the many pitfalls at the VA.

LCG has been an incredible resource for my company for a number of years. They assisted us with remote connection and security during the pandemic and have continued to offer investigative support when needed. I don't know where we would be without them. They solved problems my IT company could not solve in a timely manner.

I had 2 months before the statue of lim expired. I found Estes in Google after my 1st attorney only knew how to handle TX PIP and dropped me. Estes knew how to handle out of state policies and went to work right away. They told me the process would be slow but it wasn't. Resolution only took about 9 mths. I wish I found them first. I felt instant stress relief after my consultation. The 40% fee is the same as the previous lawyer but the effort and quality is more. I'm very pleased with their service. I would recommend Estes instantly, hopefully you never have to use them. DRIVE SAFE!!!!

DO NOT USE THIS MAN FOR YOU LEGAL SERVICES.
https://lnkd.in/gecitYkU
In November 2021, my father engaged the services of the attorney in question while I was hospitalized due to injuries. Initially, we encountered difficulties in our communication, as he was not consistently in contact with me. In response to this issue, I inquired whether he was capable of representing me in my case, which, in my judgment, required a substantial amount of attention.
The attorney provided me with assurance that he possessed the necessary qualifications to handle my case. He advised us to delay the filing of my personal injury claim until the resolution of my workers' compensation case, so that we could ascertain the full extent of my injuries. It was only later, well over a year from the initial engagement, that I discovered he had sent correspondence to my father's prior address, unbeknownst to me at the time. This correspondence included my entire case file, comprising sensitive legal and medical information, and served as a notification that he could no longer represent me.
Fast forward to September 2023, I made attempts to contact the attorney via phone and email, informing him of the impending conclusion of my workers' compensation case. Subsequently, I called him again in October, as my case was nearing its closure. At this juncture, I was apprised of the distressing news that I was devoid of legal representation for my on-the-job accident, an incident that had gravely endangered my life. Furthermore, I was informed that I must file my claim by November 10th, as there exists a statute of limitations.
Since that time, I have encountered rejections from four different attorneys, primarily due to the stringent timeline and the complexity and severity of my case. Furthermore, the attorney in question has continued to correspond with me via email, referencing reviews posted by my family on the internet, and asserting that I still have the opportunity to secure legal representation.
At the onset of our professional relationship, the attorney had informed me that my case would likely result in a payout of approximately $30,000, and he outlined a customary fee structure where he would take one-third, workers' compensation would take one-third, leaving me with approximately $10,000.
I have formally sought the disbursement of the $10,000 sum that was initially pledged during the execution of our service contract. Regrettably, the party in question has declined to communicate their disposition regarding this payment. I felt compelled to express my reservations by communicating that unless they were willing to fulfill their obligation to provide legal representation or accept accountability for any legal malpractice, I would appreciate the cessation of email correspondence, as it is just making me upset.
Good luck to anyone who attempts uses this man for legal services. Currently I am filing grievance with the Texas Bar Association.

I hired atttorney Troy to handle the criminal and immigration case for my husband but he just took the money and did nothing. He did not have any knowledge of the immigration side which he lied and said he does immigration cases. He did not show up to a scheduled court date where my spouse was detained at. He was called and did not answer. When he finally responded the next day, he said he wasn't aware of the court date. He then went on and said he was sick and had covid. He wouldn't answer calls, text messages nor emails. The address that is posted for his where abouts does not exist. When being paid for his services, that same day, my spouses case was disposed and set free but detained in ICE hold. At that moment he should have returned the money. Instead he lied and became an immigration attorney without any knowledge. Down right not reliable, a lier, not knowledgeable, and irresponsible. By all means, Please do not hire this attorney. If I had the option to rate him a 0 (zero), I would. So unfortunately I had to rate him a 1.

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.
