Sean Lyons and his team at Lyons and Lyons handled my case thoroughly, efficiently, and in a timely manner. With any legal case there are no guarantees of success but working with Sean Lyons & his staff I had confidence I had chosen the right attorney. They kept me informed every step of the process. I highly recommend Lyons & Lyons if you are seeking justice for medical malpractice.

From the beginning, Sean and his team explained the process of a wrongful death caused by medical malpractice lawsuit in great detail and about Texas Law for these types of cases. Sean is extremely knowledgeable and his passion for his work is very evident. Sean treated me with respect and I appreciated his honesty, and he made himself available when I had specific questions or concerns. Lisa, the Litigation Paralegal, was very good about keeping me informed throughout each step and relaying updates throughout the process of my case. I highly recommend Lyons & Lyons, PC if you are seeking justice for medical malpractice.

Backed by a team of professionals as tenacious and well-versed in the law as the names on the sign, Dan Sciano’s office serves their clients with transparency and respect.
Following my accident, I was extremely fortunate to have their expertise on my side when it came to finding the best medical assistance for my injuries; and particularly as my advocates when dealing with the insurance companies (THANK YOU NORMA!!!).
They are precisely what you would expect from a team with their lauded and long-established reputation - efficient, patient, and incredibly effective.
Put your case in their hands and your mind at ease.

God has definitely Blessed me and my husband with the services of Maloney Law Firm. My husband and I were in a vehicle accident. At some point my husband couldn't walk. Maloney Law represented us, fought for us. My husband fully recovered. We received our compensation and able to use it towards a down payment for our new home. If you need someone to represent you, Maloney Law Firm is the place to go. They listen and truly care for their clients.
Thank you Mr. Maloney!

Working with Mr. Rush was a great experience. I would trust a family member to him. He provided me with high quality service and individual attention. I came to him from another law service and the difference was night and day. He always kept me informed and explained the situation thoroughly. He was very down to earth and easy to understand. I really appreciate how he handled my case. Thank you!

Attorney Robert Rush represented me as the victim of a vehicle accident. He made the necessary arrangements to make this process stress free and allowed me to focus on healing from my injuries. He relieved me of having to deal with the insurance company and he and his assistant (Elsa) kept me updated on my case throughout the entire process. I certainly recommend Mr. Rush and his team for their professionalism and due diligence.

I called The Law Offices of Marynell Maloney about a medical malpractice case on behalf of my husband. After the initial consultation, we were told Attorney Michelle Maloney would like to meet with us. When my husband and I met with her she was very straight forward and honest as to what we should expect if she agreed to represent my husband. Once she reviewed the evidence she agreed to take the case. There are several things that I admire about Michelle. One being she is a very compassionate and humble person, and very easy to talk to. She is also a very good listener which is a very important asset to look for in a great attorney. Due to Tort Reform I would assume most attorneys would not want to deal with these types of cases, but that does not stop Michelle from fighting for her clients' rights.
Once Michelle started working on our case, it took her less than a year to win our case. When I tell you that she is the best attorney in San Antonio Texas to handle medical malpractice, I mean just that. No other attorney could have won this case except Michelle Maloney. I urge anyone, if you are looking for a medical malpractice attorney to represent you, please do not waste your time with any other attorney. Talk to Michelle Maloney first. If she can not help with your case, chances are you do not have a case. Thank you again Michelle. May God continue to bless you and keep you safe always. Submitted by Sharon P.

When first we were looking for help with our problem most lawyers we spoke to were unhelpful given the nature of the case Michelle however dug deep and came up with a possible solution and called us back to setup a face to face meeting. As the process continued she not only took diligent notes but she also provided great emotional support. She is professional while at the same time was empathetic to us. Without her on our legal team I am quite sure that not only the process would have been much more unbearable but the outcome would have been different. My family and I are grateful to have had her on our side for she truly is a gem.

Michelle Maloney's law firm has a well deserved longstanding reputation for being strong in evidence and procedure and for its formidable presense in the courtroom.
In Michelle, I experienced the essential qualities I hope to find in an attorney . Michelle is professional, articulate, smart, well organized, and understands that the lawyer is there to serve the client. Michelle is dedicated and worked hard to help me get a good result in a high stakes matter involving medical malpractice and improperly prescribed drugs. Her thoroughness impressed me. The infrastructure of her law firm appears very strong and this support enables Michelle to fight effectively against the biggest and most well funded opposition.
What I best remember is the warmth and compassion in Michelle's office. In time of stress, knowing you can trust and rely on your attorney can help give peace of mind. I sensed that Michelle left no stone unturned and took no shortcuts in her quest to help me.

I was involved in a car accident and sought out an attorney. I found Victors office and was very impressed with how on the ball his staff were. It seemed as though every other office I called was trying to pre screen me to see if I had a case. Victors team made it a point to understand what happened and provide me some great advice.

Slip and fell in a pretty known grocery store in San Antonio. Didn't think I had a case at all considering the fact that I fell in a store. I thought it was what it was. I had a pretty bad injury from the fall and some one recommended I get legal help. I found Victor on Facebook and reached out to them. Victors team were able to let me know my options and help me with getting my medical bills taken care of. If it wasn't for him I would be stuck with a 1200 dollar bill to Southwest General.

After having several bad experiences with attorneys, a friend referred me to Daniel Kemmy. Daniel was up front with me and informed me that my inquiry wasn't his primary focus of law, but that he would do some research and follow up. We set a date to review his findings and he delivered. Not only did he come prepared with several documents summarizing the local municipal codes pertaining to our discussion, he spoke intelligently and confidently about a topic new to him. Daniel exhibited true professionalism, made himself available for questions, and provided valuable insight.

After losing my beloved Mother due to nursing home negligence, I contacted many law firms in Texas. None of those law firms wanted to take the case. When I called Elizabeth Yancy she took my phone call immediately, and spoke to me at length so that I could explain the details of my Mother's death. Ms. Yancy reviewed the details and accepted my case. She always returned my phone calls and my emails when I had a question. My Mother's case was settled today, and my family and I are extremely grateful to her for all of her hard work and determination to obtain justice for my Mother. She is extremely professional and kind, and I am so blessed and thankful that I found her. For those of you that have had a family member abused or neglected through the fault of a nursing home, I highly recommend Elizabeth Yancy.

I had the good fortune of retaining Corbin Snow to represent me in a case of enormous complexity, and he proved himself worthy of his excellent reputation. He demonstrated a dynamic intellect, mastery of the law, and a genius for navigating the intricacies of legal procedure. But I admire him most as a man of honesty, virtue, and character beyond reproach. In short, it was an honor to work with Corbin Snow, and I feel privileged to recommend him to others.

George Mauze has the combination of competence and preparedness to take a medical malpractice or personal injury case to trial when necessary. He has served as trial counsel for me. He is efficient and well organized and has a strong work ethic. His experience and high standards, combined with his likable personality and good sense of humor, make him a formidable opponent.

I have personally used this attorney for about eight years. He does an excellent job of working up a file, and his reports are always on time. He has tried two cases for me in the Bexar County, Texas Courthouse, and has rendered defense verdicts in both cases. I find him to be very organized, and he always keeps up with the latest cases that are published from the Supreme Court, and the Court of Appeals. I have had very good feedback from my policyholders, and many of them ask for him on future lawsuits that they get involved in. I would recommend him to anyone that is in need of a lawyer.

When I was injured in a car accident about 20 years ago, it was hard for me to believe that my own insurance company became antagonistic. I was in excruciating pain and trauma from a car accident that was clearly the other driver's fault and trying to figure out the legal side was causing even more stress. I am so grateful that Barry Beer was able represent me. He guided me through each step of the process helping me to deal with the insurance company, doctors, and my employer. The case was settled in my favor. Since then, I have turned to him and his firm for other legal matters and they have always been helpful, professional, and successful.

Soledad and Jim are excellent attorneys who always keep their clients' best interest in mind. My husband and I run a small business and have relied upon their expertise for years. We always appreciate their foresight and industry knowledge, and are grateful for their consistent efforts to keep our business one step ahead of filing deadlines, regulation changes, and more. For trusted partners who care about you - personally and professionally - I highly recommend Spivey Valenciano PLLC.

Looking for an eminent domain attorney? Great. I have strong opinions. I know you’re busy, and I’ll try to be as brief as possible. On the topic of saving time, just hire Spivey Valenciano to represent you right now. Tick it off your to-do list. Rest comfortably in the knowledge you have hired a thoughtful, professional, and well-respected team who will absolutely crush it in representing your best interests and be a trusted guide for you throughout your time together. If you’re ready to move forward with being represented by Spivey Valenciano, that’s beautiful. You’re welcome.
If you need some more information before you inevitably book them, I’ll lay out some bullet points:
Expert Knowledge of the Law: From federal and state eminent domain laws, the constitutional principles behind them, local regulations, and real estate / property law, I have yet to ask a question that they didn’t already know the answer to. And I’m confident in their ability to apply that knowledge toward either negotiation/settlement or litigation.
Client-Focused Attention to Detail: I don’t think this gets enough attention. In a world where we’re all getting pulled in 20 different directions, I’ve never felt like I wasn’t a top priority. Candidly, I don’t know of a better firm when it comes to not only being knowledgeable and skilled attorneys, but also consistently dedicating the effort to achieving the best possible outcomes for their clients and defending their rights.
Track Record of Success: You’ll be impressed by their testimonials and case studies that they are able to share – as well as their discretion in protecting the surely-vast volume of clients they’ve served and continue to represent. Perhaps you’re about to be one of them and that’s why you’re reading this now-admittedly-verbose review.
Alright, well, I failed at this being short. Sorry. Soledad and Jim are that good. You won’t be disappointed you decided to move forward with them.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Absolutely THE problem when it comes to attorneys this day and age.(maybe it’s just with men). If you want a game where you're being strung along and billed forever playing the rollercoaster game with you and your children's life instead of evidence being presented in a costly/timely and empathetic manner THIS IS YOUR GUY. Mr. Bancroft, i just got off the phone with you where you hung up on me stating that I’m threatening you. Get over your ego and realize that your business as a practicing attourney needs realignment. I wrote you about a standing invoice you provided totaling to less than the amount that Ive paid to you months prior with no response. After speaking to your paralegal, then being transferred to your “billing dept.” and speaking to them I was provided with a newer invoice…..with newer charges, where whomever was working before had originally just simply “forgot to send me the invoice”….what a convenient coincidence. After speaking with her, I was transferred to you where I had a conversation with your ego. Well, from the little guy(s) down here Mr. Bancroft, do whats right and fabricating invoices to skip out on paying balances owed on any moneys paid to you for the services that you DID NOT PROVIDE are just not that. Client paid $1750 in retainer fees(half of your 3500 to get the case started) and had to chase said attourney down for enquiries with little to no communications outside of ones that were initiated by me/client, INCLUDING in person conversation with YOU where I unexpectedly paid a visit to your office in August after I could not successfully contact anyone and asked about a status of my case. You did not recall my case by name until we went to your office and you searched my name.(keep in mind, this is three months after contracting). Attourney invoicing per attourney-client portals all state work for balance of $753, with latest payment from client being $631 in October.(this never happened, only payment made was the initial one and didn't make another due to subpar and in my opinion MALPRACTICAL, I'm aware that isn't an official word, service). After a few months of calling and majorly being placed on hold, back and forth’s with promises of returned calls or motions with paralegals, multiples of them and finally being frustrated with the reality of paying an attourney and not being fought for……while fighting a vindictive situation with my children as a GREAT DAD I asked for an explanation stating that if I did not hear anything as ai had been I wanted to discontinue services and be refunded via message inside of the client portal, I THEN was given a response…..but not with accountability, not with a plan of action, not to communicate any valuable evidence or structured plan of action, but to speak downward of me on the “dismal” months of non-payment……….ultimately this attourney demanded I paid him his past due amount, in addition to totals for mediations that hadn't even been had yet to avoid him WITHDRAWING. Needless to say I attended the mediation PRO SE, paid the mediator directly. I’m now on maximum state mandated child support and standard visitation for the children I equally raised because the relationship did not work out with their mother…finally divorced none the less. All of the evidence in the world to fight that good fight never presented, never saw a represented court setting, money just wasted and thank GOD I demanded a standard or it could have been MUCH MUCH worse financially. Contracted with this attourney on 5/24/2024….attourney withdrew as of 11/5/2024, yet they have still attempted to withdraw payment from my bank as of latest, 12/19/2024…….this was my SECOND attourney over a course of what I recall as a 3 year nightmare……I can confidently say, this is whats wrong with the family law system! Will edit with photo documentation when I have time.

Blaine Holbrook was recommended to give an annual lecture to our surgery residents on contracts and legal issues a young surgeon should consider when starting out in practice. He has done so for the past 4 years and performed extermely well. The residents have uniformly given his lectures the highest possible rating. There is always good discussions and he answers their questions concisely and thoughtfully. His appearance and demeanor are very professional and he seems very honest.
Although I have never personally used him for any legal work, I would not hesitate to if needed, especially for medical malpractice defense or contract issues.

They helped guide me through this complicated process. Magaly Rojas and David Armendáriz were there with me step by step and were always able to answer my questions and concerns any time I needed it. I am very appreciative of their time, and long hours they put into my case.

Excelente bufete de abogados para cualquier tema migratorio. Traté con varios de ellos ya que ellos llevaron mi caso cuando aplique para la residencia (Faye Kolly y Claudia Baellow), y también cuando apliqué para la ciudadanía (Claudia Baellow y Linda Garcia)
Jamás tuve un problema o diferencia con ellas. Contestaron todas mis preguntas, llamadas, correos electrónicos y demás. Aún cuando pregunté lo mismo varias veces. Aún cuando se me olvidaron cosas que ya me habían dicho, etc, etc. Toda la comunicación puede ser en español con ellas si es necesario. O en ambos idiomas.
Las he recomendado con toda confianza a varias amistades y familiares para sus preguntas y trámites migratorios. Hasta las he recomendado a extraños que preguntan "alguien sabe de algún abogado de migración...".

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals.
