The Green Law firm is simply amazing, they took care of my family and I after a slip and fall. Julia was fantastic and made sure everything was documented and made sure all appointments we done in a timely manner. I absolutely have nothing negative to say, in the end the called me and told me they over paid something and that there was an additional check for me to pick up. They are very honest and supportive. I will always refer friends and family to the Green Law firm.

Mr. Green is an outstanding Attorney. He and his staff Attorney Lety Garza, and Josephine were very friendly and professional. I feel blessed to have him as my Attorney. My court took longer than expected due to Covid-19 cases that were backed up. Nevertheless, I highly recommended him and his team. Awesome work. Thank you Green Law Firm.

Worst attorney I have ever met. I have been a Legal Assistant for more than 10 years, met many attorney's but none as unprofessional as her. I went just for an initial consultation and she offered me to take my case Pro Bono. I appreciated the offer, took it, and thanked her. I trusted her thinking she was going to help me only to find out she was always rude, uninterested and unprofessional. She never took notes of my information and never kept record of what I told her. She barely remembered me when we talked and I had to constantly repeat myself to remind her about whatever I had already told her in previous conversations. She mishandled my case, made so many mistakes that I even missed court hearings because of her not notifying me on time and having her assistant do the job for her and made many mistakes without her double checking anything before filing documents into the court. She never called me for any updates and I had to constantly beg her to reply to my emails and when she did, she was always rude to me and threatened to withdraw from my case if I didn't do what she told me. I had a final court hearing, and her assistant sent the notice to a wrong email address, then mailed the copy to an address I had not lived in since one year before, even when I had reminded her several times of my new address but they never even bothered to call me to confirm I had received the notice. Since I never knew of this final hearing, I didn't show up and she took the chance to make me look bad and speak negatively about me with the judge and she withdrew from my case arguing I not was interested in finalizing it. She didn't even apologize for so many mistakes made on my case and she just sent me an email telling me she was not my attorney anymore because I didn't show up to court and told me I never replied to her emails. I hope I don't need to see her ever again. I have more experience than her and her staff and I am a lot more professional than her. I have to give her one star, because I can't give her less.

I honestly don't have any idea how this guy has such great reviews. My family had a terrible experience with his firm. All we got from him was excuses and hot air. He is well past his prime and should retire. Unless you have a loser case and want it slow walked, look elsewhere. We had a pending case in the 138th and he didn't know Gabby Garcia had the job until months after her installment, and I had to tell him. He should buy a subscription to the local Brownsville paper and pay someone to read it to him, Lord know he charges enough.

I have nothing but positive things to say about the law office of Phil Bellamy and his team of paralegals, he’s an honest man, a humble man, but more importantly he works tirelessly and endlessly for his clients, I am absolutely impressed by their unmatched work ethic, easily the best legal team in Brownsville and the entire RGV
Do yourself the favor of reaching out to them for a real fighting chance.

I highly recommend Mr. Bellamy for your law needs. He is an amazing attorney who is willing to work with you, so he is affordable. From the first consultation he knew what actions needed to be taken to help get my life back on track. Without the help of the entire Bellamy firm, I know that I would have not had the successful outcome I have had. He is quick to respond and keeps you updated on your case. I am proud to be a Phil Bellamy client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands.

I want to warn everyone out there that is looking for a lawyer to beware of hiring this attorney. He did not take my case seriously, missed crucial deadlines and made major mistakes along the way. After almost 4 years of begging him to do something and hoping he would not just quit he did just that (1) day before my mediation and just a few weeks before my trial date in my civil suit. I had to go to mediation and represent myself because he withdrew as my council. He is unresponsive, lackluster, unprepared and is easily overwhelmed. He took $15,000.00 of my hard-earned money in advance as his retainer and then just walked away. I would not recommend this man for any legal advice of any kind on any matter. he does not respond to calls, emails or messages for sometimes 7-12 days and that my friends is the type of performance you'll get with Phil Bellamy The only reason I gave him one star is because they did not offer a negative star option. I regret the day I met and retained him.

So far she been a very reliable, efficient, dependable, honest, straight forward, aggressive, compassionate, understanding, & trustworthy attorney. I just wish that the closing of our case could be done a lot faster, almost 1 year. Dealing with certain insurance companies, that are not very cooperative is a struggle for any attorney; whether they are good, great, excellent, or average. So far she has been redeemed in my eyes. Hopefully, she can speed things along with the closing of our case for medical reasons, lost wages, pain suffering, & surgery.

I paid (in full) this firm $1000 to do a Sponsor packet to immigration in attempt to get my girlfriend released from custody on Wednesday, I forwarded them all my required documents around noon time and they even stated it "must be filed immediately" and "will be filed once they receive my documents" per phone conversations. On Thursday morning they asked for another document. I forwarded said document immediately. At 6 pm they stated yet another document needed printed off, signed and notorized. They waited 2 days to tell me this, went all morning on Thursday and waited to 6 pm at last minute to ask for the notorized paper. I rushed around Thursday night and got the document notorized and immediately forwarded to their office. Then on Friday morning, I called in and still nothing was filed and they stated "as they are going through the emails they will get to it, and it will be filed today". On Friday night early Saturday morning my girlfriend was deported. This office will not give me proof by time stamp or email showing anything was filed or return my money. On Monday morning they stated the computer shows she still in custody (when in fact she was deported back to Colombia) as if they never filed anything yet. Do not waste your time with this law firm and do alot of research to find one who cares, works in a "timely" manner and get a contract signed. Most immigration attorneys say they will do something to help which a simple way for them to get easy money and not help any further. 90% of lawyers are a joke dont care and only want money money money!

Mr. Nunez helped me with an old case from 2019 I had had a warrant for my arrest all was handled so great in 2023 he moved fast on my case he was so awesome to work with and very professional in court. I agree with other reviews Lupita the paralegal who works in office is a fast talker and does not help you with what you ask for. She is extremely manipulative and can make you uncomfortable to say anything at all. The secretary in office who works the front desk is very kind and helpful. If you can bypass Lupita. Mr. Richard Nunez was a 10/10 for an attorney I am so grateful for his approach and just how he is as a person. He listens well and if you come as professional as YOU can on your end it all works out better than you expect!! I did all that was expected of me at probation and Judge Rincones let me go free and I didn't have to pay the remainding probation fees. The entire experience with the Nunez was great. So much so I am returning and going to hire him again to clear my background.

He was not the best for my case. I had to return to another more experienced lawyer but, I was not able to correct the problem. So I am stuck in an unfair situation for my child and me. The more experienced lawyer said that the lawyer who took care of my case was not experienced and had structured the paperwork incorrectly.

My case and experience sound very similar to the 2 reviews done previously. I hired Quintanilla after him assuring me numerous times I had a strong case.
I missed the initial hearing because of him. I then was very disappointed how he represented me during mediation. His response to specific outcomes were "it could've been worse."
Not only did I lose primary residence with my child, I did NOT get 50-50 and now pay child support. Hiring and trusting Quintanilla backfired since I was the petitioner in the case. He was NOT able to accomplish anything for me.
Would I recommend Victor Quintanilla to represent a single parent in a custody case? No, I do not.

He won't care about you or do any real work for you. He represented my ex and his lawyer...not me. He went to mediation and LIED about what I would agree to and gave my ex and his lawyer everything they wanted leaving me and my son in a terrible predicament and financial constraints. He refused to remedy any of the problems he caused me either and LIED to ME his supposed client about what I agreed to saying I changed my mind, which I never did....you can't trust him at all! Again, he won't care about you or go to any real work for you and he will betray you.

This guy here is worthless. He put his own personal issues ahead of my issues. But I hired him he didn't hire me. He doesn't return phone calls. He screwed my case up severely. He was thoroughly unprepared when we went to court. He was more concerned with getting praise from the judge instead of opening his mouth and challenging the opposing lawyer. He did not show at hearings which angered the judge. Try paying a lawyer to do nothing for you whatsoever and then just walking away and disappearing. Stay away from this guy.

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.
