Scott’s guidance during a very complex professional negligence case proved invaluable. He is exceedingly knowledgeable and organized as well as patient and considerate. Scott thoroughly explained the legalities allowing us to participate more fully in the development of his strategy. He listened carefully to the details related to our role and was focused and understanding of all the issues involved in the services we provide. His effort enabled him to successfully explain this to the jury members, who in most cases knew very little about our profession. Scott’s level of service was excellent and I highly recommend him to anyone needing professional legal counsel.

I'm an architect and have been working with Scott for some time now on a complicated claim related to a conflict with a contractor on a large project. The proceedings have been a revelation to me, as they would have been irrespective of the attorney working on my side, but Scott quickly became a partner in the process, taking the extra time to try to make complex legal issues clear to me an my office. He is working always (and successfully) toward a positive outcome. He is open to any alternative positions I might want to take, and has always reviewed his strategies with us before enacting them. We have started using Scott on other claim and contract issues beyond the original claim.

This fine gentleman took me out for some Texas BBQ and we talked a little business. I told him I was stuffed and he smiled and said, "you're not done yet!". He then spoon-fed me some of the best potato salad I've ever had. And then we talked some more about my case. I spilled some peach cobbler on my shoes and he pulled out a handkerchief and within seconds it was gone. What a classy man! I am really feeling optimistic about my case and am very glad to have met such a fine gentleman. I know I am in good legal hands.

Joe has worked with our school on various legal issues such as: employment policies, board policies, worker's compensation cases, Texas Education Agency charter amendments, and unemployment matters.
He attends our school board meetings and reviews contracts.
He operates with the highest integrity. His knowledge of school legal issues is very broad and he has insight that helped our school save significant amounts of money.
Never overbearing, he presents the facts to the school board or administrators and is mindful that we make the final decision. Joe is very easy to work with and makes great effort to keep us informed of pending legal matters. It is not unusual for us to get an email from his office that gives us insight to upcoming legal issues at the state level.

A little more than three years ago, a medical team made mistakes during and after a routine procedure that nearly resulted in my death. I spent a month and a half in intensive care and had to take five months off from work to recuperate. The suffering was unimaginable, and I still have significant pain. No matter how blatant the doctors' failings were, the first malpractice attorneys I consulted didn't think my case was strong enough to pursue. In Tyler, I found a champion for my cause. From the start, he engaged my family in a transparent, ethical, and kind manner. It was always easy to get in touch with him on the phone or through email. He discovered a creative approach to my case that he thought might bring us success, despite the clear challenges we were facing. During it all, he not only kept us informed, he invited us to participate in the process as much as we wanted to, and he showed profound respect and appreciation for our contributions. He found the best medical experts. He spent many, many hours familiarizing himself with the scientific literature on the procedures I underwent and the health complications I experienced. He poured over thousands of pages of documents with a jeweler's eye. At a certain point, he was so knowledgeable about the issues that he seemed like a doctor himself. It was when it came to the depositions, though, that I realized how skilled Tyler truly is. At his side, I watched him engage the defendants with energy, expertise, determination, and unflappable courage. For the first time, I started to feel genuinely optimistic. After months of working with my family, he arranged a mediation session with the doctors, their lawyers, and their insurance company. There, too, Tyler proved himself to be an amazing strategist. At the end of it all, he negotiated a settlement for us that exceeded our hopes. My family was never in it for money; we simply wanted justice and an admission that what happened to me was wrong. Tyler got us that and much more. He never raised our expectations beyond what he saw as the best possible outcome. Amazingly, he was able to improve upon that in a substantial way. If you're looking for the most capable medical malpractice attorney in San Antonio--or maybe even Texas or the whole country--give Tyler a call. If he decides to take your case, you'll have a lion working on your side. After all was said and done, he continued to maintain a relationship with me, showing my family that he truly cared about us. We're so lucky to have found Tyler and to have had him agree to take our case. I can't recommend him highly enough. I truly believe that if he can't find justice for you, then no one can.

I am an attorney and entrusted to Tyler the case against the doctors responsible for the death of my mom. Tyler outworked the attorneys for the defendants and obtained a successful settlement in an area of the law that is completely slanted toward the defendants. To say I was impressed and satisfied is actually an understatement.

I just completed the most difficult mediation of my career. We literally worked for 22 hours straight. Don Philbin quickly recognized the legal and factual issues involved as well as the unique and challenging personalities that needed to be managed. He did a flawless job keeping the parties focused on the goal of settlement and helped the parties find common ground and a path to resolution. Most importantly, he did not give up and kept the parties working 22 hours. This was my first mediation with Don, but it will not be my last. I highly recommend Don to all who are in need of a dedicated and skillful mediator.

I had a multi-disciplinary legal matter last year. Although the allegations were without merit I was afraid of the potential consequences for myself and my family. Mr. Parra met with me and was able to calm some of those fears. He immediately went to work on my case and Within days he was getting results. My legal problems were completely resolved in a much shorter time than I expected with the best possible outcome and the price was reasonable. I’ve recommended several clients to Mr. Parra who have received the same care and treatment with similar results. The Parra Law Firm is now the only Law firm I recommend for San Antonio and surrounding areas.

I work as corporate counsel for a medium-sized company based in the NE United States and deal with hundreds of lawyers across the US and Europe daily. We have operations in Texas, but no actual offices there. We occasionally have legal needs in a wide variety of areas in Texas from real estate to general corporate work and Ryan has been very good to work with in all areas that we have hired him. If we ever do open a Texas office, we would not hesitate to try to bring Ryan in as our legal counsel in that office (if we could lure him away from his firm that is).

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.
