I was in a terrible auto accident in 2013, having a head on collision with an 18 wheeler. Soon after my accident I was referred to Cade for advise. I already knew him from working at one of the court houses he frequents. When my husband and I meet with Cade he was compassionate but very professional. He explained to us the issue we could be facing and the laws that were in place to protect me. I was not really out to sue anyone, as I expected people to do the right thing in these situation. However, Cade explained that he would be there to insure that the other party did meet that expectation.
Cade and his associate did all of the work. They collected and arranged all of the documentation that was needed to explain the incident and how it effected me and my family. After it was all said and done, I was compensated to my satisfaction and was made whole again as much as possible.
Cade did a great job helping me and I consider him fair, professional, trustworthy, an expert and a friend.

Marshall did an AMAZING job at helping me with my “employee rights” case. He’s very attentive and prompt in response. He was available anytime I had questions at any part of the day. His demeanor was very professional and honest. His attorney fees weren’t over the top and very manageable. He’s exactly the type of genuine, honest and trustworthy attorney we need here in Abilene, Texas. Thank you for everything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Daryl handled a wrongfull denial case I had against a VERY large world wide company... He was not only professional but also personable... He treated me with kindness and respect, listened to every little detail and never gave up during a hard battle with the "big guns" the company tried to use against me!... Case was settled out of court and the settlement was more than what we expected it to be.

I am an attorney. A couple of years ago I retained Vicky to represent my wife and I in a custody suit regarding my granddaughter. We had hired an attorney from our time to represent us. They quit, too hard to get done. I searched the web looking for someone who would represent us and not rip us off.
Without reservation Vicky provided us with the BEST in representation. She was relentless, professional, and conservative in fees. She is a great lawyer!! Hire her if you need a great lawyer on your side.

It's times like these where you should be able to add more than 5 stars. Tami is an amazing lawyer, she has exceptional skills and has a very confident attitude. Her professionalism is outstanding in every way. I had to never wonder if she was working on my case or if there were any updates as she would either text/call, or message through the client portal.
She took my child custody case with no hesitation as she knew I needed my daughter to be away from a bad situation with her mom. Tami advised me on the best possible solutions and went to work. Over a year and a half later, here we are with a HUGE win! I now have my daughter!
Tami always made me feel like she was actually personally invested in my case, and not just going to court and let's see what happens. It always felt like I truly had her on my side and was fighting for what was right. Any new information I had, she gladly took and worked that into our case. She's a busy woman, but will still handle your case with professionalism, personal involvement, as well as tedious care. I would recommend anyone to not hesitate to choose her as your lawyer! Another awesome thing is she NEVER once asked me to write a review, she just let her work speak for itself.

Pathetic representation! I hired Corey Clemence to defend me in a criminal case and he wasted 5 months of my time waiting on video evidence that I told him over and over again they were not going to turn over. We eventually decided it was best he remove himself from the case and I ended up representing myself because he was so ineffective!
If you want good representation this is not the place to find it. Matter of fact it seems to me he did the absolute minimum as possible and was content sitting on his hands delaying my case over and over some of which was for his own personal vacation while I sat without a car as it was seized racking up impound fees.
I'm in total regret of hiring this firm I expected better representation but instead I got a weak attorney!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Barrett & Kristy! They were both so amazingly helpful over an issue that occurred on a weekend. They were extremely comforting, kept me at ease in the situation and helped my fiancé and I out. They both even texted us to check in and make sure we were doing okay and were extremely reassuring. They are extremely knowledgeable in their field and they are the only attorneys that I trust. I’ve never had an attorney work so diligently and earnestly for me. These attorneys CARE! They truly care about you and helping you with whatever it is you’re going through. We are so so grateful for them.

Taylor, Kaye, and all others that helped resolve my case always responded to my emails and calls, even on weekends. I am active duty military, but that didn't change anything. They were able to make phone calls and hold virtual meeting(s) for the entire process. With their help, my case resulted in a dismissal. I am very greatful for everything they did. Thank you, all members of Lighthouse Legal.

Ive been in the legal business 17 years. If I were to need a criminal attorney, I damn sure don't want some sweet talking, hand holding attorney that isn't straight forward and honest concerning the possible outcome of my case. I want a bulldog!! I want a fighter! I don't need or want a babysitter to talk sweet and soft. I need a go getter. An attorney that will push it to the absolute limits to see his client gets a fair trial and exhausts to insure his client received the best representation possible.
Also, I don't need an update or a call everyday with some useless bs. I need him working for me. That's why I hired him. Not wasting time calling or emailing with insignificant redundant information that is only wasting his time instead of focusing all his attention on his job. Plus the courts are stacked with pending cases so when Mr. Moore knows something relevant to the case he will contact you. He cares about his clients and represents each to the best of his ability. He takes his oath very seriously bcz his clients have chosen to put their trust with their life, future, well-being etc...in his care.
I know I'm just now to began my first year of law school but Sam Moore You taught more than any law school will ever teach me. Represent each client always remembering the sworn oath taken. To take pride without fear and stand in front of a jury or judge knowing that's the absolute ultimate an attorney can do for his client. Thank you!! I couldn't ask for a better Mentor.

I hired Mr. Moore in 2015 and it's now 2017. The level of care I was accustomed to receiving left with the paralegal, Athena, back in the spring. Now when I call in to check on my case, Mr. Moore either doesn't take my call or flips out because I'm disturbing him. I feel like I have the right to question what's going on since I paid the old grump $5,000.00. I know my case was an uphill battle, but I would like to know someone was working for the hard earned money that was paid. The few times I've been able to catch Mr. Moore, he smells like a bottle of whiskey and is totally rude. Good or bad, I just want my case to be over.

I hired Sam Moore last year and it's now the end of August 2016, however my case is far from being over. During the initial consultation, Mr. Moore indicated that he would take care of my case quickly and efficiently, but that hasn't happened. My wife's attorney has told her that she can't get a hold of him on the phone nor are her emails or phone messages acknowledged so I know that it isn't just me that is being screwed over. I paid Mr. Moore $2500 plus fees and can't afford to hire anyone else or I would have already taken my case and bailed. The buffer between Sam and the public (his paralegal Athena) was laid off when he sold his office and I'm afraid he has gone off the deep end. Anytime I call the office Sam is very abusive, screams on the phone, and implies that I'm interrupting his afternoon schedule which I'm sure is just his nap time given his old age. Athena was the one person in that office who actually cared about what I was going through and took the time to actually listen to me when I called or dropped by.
In closing, spend your hard earned dollars on some other attorney instead of an old, mean, loud drunk who smells like a brewery whether in the office or when you go to court with him. Mr. Moore is the type of attorney who gives lawyers a bad name!

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
