I used Curt Covington to represent me on a case where I had a Company out of Emory who built my Metal Building. This is the most Knowledgeable Attorney I have ever used for a construction legal case. Now like most people I could say I was shocked at my legal fees, BUT this man and firm was worth ten times what they charged me. They were well prepared, professional and got me a more than a fair settlement for this case. If you want results, you are calling a professional law firm that gets results. Would I use them again? Absolutely because they showed me, they walk the walk, not just talk the talk. They do many different kinds of cases, but if you're looking to sleep at night without stress you have arrived. Thank you, Curt, for all your professional support on winning this case and getting all my legal fees paid. May God continue to bless you, your family and all at this Lawyer firm. SC

I have worked with attorneys for business and personal matters for more than 20 years, and my experience with Mr. White was both calming and professional. From the initial consultation, it became obvious that Mr. White is strategic and prepared for combat.
He displayed a genuine interest in the case matter, and communicated process and deadlines so that we were always ahead of the curve. In the courtroom, Mr. White displayed a unique talent for simplifying the complex, and his connection to the jury and bench was exceptional.
Mr. White projected integrity throughout the process, and his competitiveness really shined in the courtroom.

I wanted to take a minute to recommend Mr. White and his firm to interested parties. I was involved in divorce proceedings which are never pleasant. As it turned out the opposing attorney for what ever reason attempted to delay over and over again despite the fact he had made the original filing. Mr. White and his team continued to say on top of the issue and because of his efforts and contacts within the legal system we were able to resolve the proceedings in an equitable manor for all.

During my divorce I hired Todd to represent me. Todd aggreed to represent me even though I was in middle of my divorce and was not comfortable with a previous attorney working my case. Todd's assusances to me that he would work more diligently to a faster resolve gave me a comfortable and confident feeling. Unfortunately things turned bad and Todd was ultimately prepared for what ever was encountered. Todd did not allow me to be run over by opposing counsel. I was pleased with the professionalism and respect that Todd and his staff showed. This office was all about me and careing for my needs. Secondly after the divorce unfornate circumstances with child custody arose. During the dispute Todd and his staff worked even more diligently and confidently for the health and saftey of the children. Todd was very quick to file all apporpriate cases without hesitation. With his professional knowledge, careing and no back down attitude I am ultimately pleased to write this review. I can not and could not thank Todd or his staff enough for the calm and assuring attitude during my most stressful time! During both of the court cases Todd represented me in, and to gain positive outcomes, I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone!

I received an arrest for a 3rd DUI. Needless to say I was at my wits end. There was no blame to go around, it was my fault. I was referred to Mr. Gray and was very fortunate for him to take my case on. Due to fact I was a Veteran, Mr. Gray was very familiar with the Veterans Court Program here in Rockwall County. He was actually a part of the Vet Court Team for some time. We agreed the Vet Court program was the best course of action. Mr. Gray worked closely with me to get me into the program. It was not an easy process. On my part, I was writing letters and Mr. Gray was in constant contact with the County DA. Needless to say, approximately 9 months later, I was accepted into the program. After two years in the program and successfully completing the rigorous requirements, my charges were expunged. None of this would have happened without Mr. Gray. If you find yourself in serious legal bind, and you feel like there is no hope, I would highly recommend reaching out to Mr. Greg Gray!

Attorney Gray handled my 21 year old sons DWI#2. His guidance and direction made this very unpleasant situation tolerable. Our results were even better than we could have possibly expected. Attorney Gray is very experienced and set our minds at ease.

I've known G. David Smith for over a decade and he's my go to person when anything arises in business (yes, even though when it's outside his scope of practice). He's down to earth, makes you feel comfortable and his ethics are very high. He's a straight shooter and doesn't sugar coat it. His office is a very comfortable setting in a beautiful victorian house. He's knowledgeable and if he doesn't know something when it's out of his scope of work, he tells you and researches it. If it's not worth it, he will tell you to move on and take your bruise.

I called David for a consultation for an injury. He was very polite, very professional, and honest in his dealings with me, even though his honesty cost him my business today ( he informed me that I could handle it on my own though he would be glad to do it) , I will be using him if needed in the future.

Mr. Berent and his law firm have represented me and my business for approximately a decade. Over the years, he has handled a number of legal matters for me and has been successful in every single one. Mr. Berent is highly professional and fearless. I didn't appreciate just how special a lawyer Mr. Berent is until we won a hard fought trial in a complicated case. It was so clear that Mr. Berent was the better lawyer. He dissected witnesses and gave an amazing closing argument. The other side appealed, but Mr. Berent's superior writing skills on appeal preserved the trial victory. I encourage anyone facing a legal issue to contact Mr. Berent and the Berent Law Firm.

My case involved an unscrupulous contractor who in the course of doing work on my residence actually did damage to my home. Barry counseled me on how he would address the problem and what I could expect in terms of outcome. His communications were very clear and he was always available to discuss any concerns. Most importantly, he says what he means and then does what he says. If you are in need of legal help, I have no reservations recommending Barry Brooks.

I love this guy. Against a lot of obstacles he was able to win our case in a all day trial. We were up against the attorney generals office and my ex- wife's private attorney in a Dallas Family Court with the odds stacked firmly against us. His research and professional demeanor over came those odds and we won the trial and a request for retrial was denied. The case is now with the 256 th court of appeals and I have the utmost confidence in Mr. Brooks to get us through this as well. Mr. Brooks took our case when no one else would and was able to convince the judge to rule in our favor. I have and would highly recommend Mr. Brooks for any legal needs.'

The Law Office of KC Ashmore deserves a 10 STAR Review. KC Ashmore got a serious traffic offense dismissed for me which saved me from a conviction and a an enormous insurance battle. This cab driver hit my car, crunched in the side and was trying to blame me for causing an accident where they were clearly at fault. The prosecutor would not budge until KC Ashmore, a highly skilled trial lawyer, let them know that we had witnesses and were completely ready to try the case before a jury. They talked to our witness, dismissed the case & charged the cab driver. Mr. Ashmore is very professional, well prepared for trial, promptly returns phone calls and is a tough Texas trial lawyer. He gets an A+++ in my book!

Review for Caitlin Henderson
I worked with Caitlin on my divorce in the Rockwall County. She is very professional and always gave me good advice. She guided me and answered all my questions during the divorce process. Caitlin has good command of the law and understands how different Judge’s think and make judgement. She advised me on the next steps and predicted the Judge’s verdict which did not go wrong.
Caitlin is friendly, a good listener and approachable. She made me comfortable enough to share my personal matters with her. I like her honest approach to work, which is unlike other attorneys. She is cunning and smart but will not compromise with her ethics. She often advised me to not to do “XYZ” because then I will end up paying more money to her.
I experienced Caitlin’s detailed and process-based approach to work. She asked me a number of questions throughout the case and prepared a ton of questions and Addendums to be presented during the trial. She also sat down with me and prepared me for the trial.
Caitlin is to the point and has magnificent work ethics. During my case she lost her father, but she was back within two days attending my court hearing.
It was a pleasure working with Caitlin and I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Caitlin Henderson as your lawyer. She was absolutely amazing in my case. As hard as things were she eased my stress and did everything she possibly could to make sure i was fairly taken care of. She over explained until i understood everything with all the confusing words and rules of the court system. There were many tears shed in her office but she treated me like a person and just absolutely put the utmost care into the work she did for my family and I. It wasn’t just a job for her she worked with passion and care and fought to the very best of her abilities. It’s been two years since but I’ll never forget her and if I’m ever in a position where I need to seek a lawyer she will be it no questions asked. Thanks again Caitlin!

Mr Jack Robinson is a wonderful lawyer! So many lawyers talk fast and want to destroy the client’s spouse, but Jack is kind and thoughtful. He sat with me for an hour and a half to make sure I understood my divorce papers and took the time to very every page so I wouldn’t have any problems moving forward with the judge. His work was so thorough that it took a mere 8 minutes for the judge to approve my divorce. THANK YOU Jack!! I will hire you again when I need a family lawyer.

Rachel was my family attorney many years ago, and she was beyond amazing then! I can only imagine what a powerhouse she is now. In court, she is without a doubt extraordinary, and you want her on YOUR side!!!!!
Looking back (while not under manipulation) if I could go back, I would have followed every instruction and she would have handled everything, I was afraid and settled in agreement (while she told me not to)! She guided me through every step and she was there for me, no matter the time of day or night! At the end of it all, she helped me in ways I could never pay back and if I could use her again, (unmanipulated), I would in a heartbeat!

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.
