Terri did an exceptional job of handling our adoption case. She was extremely knowledgeable about handling the situation when the biological dad decided he wanted to do an open adoption. She was very personable, friendly, and most of all, I knew we were in good hands by her knowledge and professionalism in every situation. I have recommended her in a couple of family law situations with friends and she has been most helpful to them as well in the past few years.

Just installed electrical for him,made some repairs and brought up to code. I wish every customer was as nice and pleasant to deal with as Leland and his wife. Great people! Leland represented me on a Case 15 years ago where my wife had passed away in a car accident. And the five lawyers I had Leland was the only one I liked and seemed to be there for my best interest not just money. If you're looking for any kind of decent attorney with morals and a very inviting personality then you should hire him and be happy that you were able to find someone like him.

As an attorney, I have had the privilege of working with and for Leland Reinhard. He is smart, strategic, hard-working, but most of all, he truly cares about his clients. He will give it his all to get you the best results possible.

Would I recommend hiring Don Bonner to represent you? Absolutely. I hired Mr. Bonner to represent me in a Criminal case and Divorce. Mr. Bonner had my best interest during both of these and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome! Also, the paralegal that works in the office was very helpful as well. Heather always kept me informed and has amazing communication. Don and Heather make a great team. They are worth your time when searching for legal help.

Horrible so called Attorney! I would give negative stars if possible. Fast and ready there for me prior to getting my money for help filing for bankruptcy but after was delay and delay week after week after month after months! He had all my paperwork given to him and would never file with court??? Why? Always delayed. Said would finally have it ready to file but after about 12 months I asked for my $3000. back for still not filing. After brief argument with him for his failure to work he only refunded $1500. due to “him doing work on my behalf” - what work??? Nothing ever left his office! Front desk ladies were awesome and super helpful and apologetic about his duty- they should be attorneys and dump him. We were so backed up on bills it was ridiculous and got sued by creditors that didn’t have enough to hire another competent attorney. So 2 years now and I’ve got lawsuits up my rear for some so called attorney not doing his job. He was the worse mistake that happened to us. Thanks a lot Mr Powell for nothing.

Easy to get a hold of but slow to do anything. Litagation drags on for no apparent cause. He says he will do something by a certain date but it just does not happen. Very dissappointed but have already paid him over $13,000 so feel trapped.

Spends time on TikTok arguing about how much he knows about Star Wars during billable hours. Also unfamiliar with law and how it works, constantly unprepared, dismissive and rude. Even told me “this law thing may not work out”. That’s the lawyer people have hired, one who thinks it won’t work out.
Edit 1-You used your official “Lawyer” account to promote racist views and use billable time that could've been used to help clients, and instead used it to claim you know more about Star Wars than other strangers. So please stop with the “you came from social media to attack me” rhetoric, you defamed your own firm and received the review you deserve. You even could have used a private account to do so, and you didn’t, but you’re welcome for that free advice.

I cannot thank Burton Baker and his team enough for the exceptional service and guidance they provided me throughout the probate process. From the very beginning, Burton was incredibly compassionate, professional, and thorough in explaining every step of what can be an overwhelming and complicated process. His attention to detail and clear communication made all the difference, ensuring that I understood my options and was prepared for each phase of the process.
Not only did Burton demonstrate an extensive knowledge of probate law, but he also went above and beyond to ensure that everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. His dedication to my case and the personal care he showed throughout the entire process truly exceeded my expectations. It was comforting to know that he would always pick up the phone when I called. If I could give him ten stars, I would! I am so grateful for his support and highly recommend the Law Office of Burton Baker to anyone in need of probate assistance!

23 years ago Mike Rogers and his staff helped me with a lengthy and difficult custody battle. The case would not be finalized until I had the baby I was carrying at the time the battle began. The legal staff as well as the attorneys were extremely helpful and efficient and in the end I was awarded custody of my son and daughter (who was born during the proceedings) I will always remember how good they all were to me. They all really cared and worked tirelessly on my behalf and I can't express how much I appreciated the care they showed me during my very difficult time. My kids are grown now and I couldn't be prouder. Thank you Mike for believing in me and my family.

I have used Mr. Ward for 2 divorce cases. He is a really good Attorney. He got me everything I wanted and deserved. He is expensive, but you get what you pay for. Hopefully I will never have to use him again but if I was to need an Attorney again, he would be the first one I call.

Mr. Ward did me right! I had two felony criminal charges and was expecting prison time. When I was about to give up, Mr. Ward convinced me to hang in there and take it to trial. We did just that. I walked out a free man that very day. I have a small probationary period, but that's all. Everyone in the courtroom was amazed that he worked the jury the way he did. Since...I have been back to him for an Occupational License and he did me well that time too. Hire this man...HE'S GOOD!!!

My Mother passed away and I needed to find an attorney I could trust and feel comfortable with. After talking to several local friends and business associates Burton was highly recommended. I also needed someone that could work with me for I live 5 hours away from Cleburne.
I hired Burton and from the start He was very thorough and patient in explaining every segment I would encounter.
During the process we encountered several problems with an problem relative who went out of their way to create issues. Burton went out of His way to assist me in overcoming every obstacle in this situation.
It has always been very important to me that someone I am doing business with gets back to me in a timely manner and no matter what day it was Burton always got back to me right away on any questions I had.
If you are looking for an 'out of the box' attorney who works for you and respects you as a client should feel then Burton Baker is your guy. I highly recommend Burton

Highly recommend Willard Burton Baker, Jr . He did a great deal of work for me and also for my sister ... both of us were very pleased. Work was done in a timely fashion; phone calls and text messages were returned the same or next day; met me at courthouse or his office at the time we had arranged. Office staff are knowledgeable and polite. Atmosphere in office is relaxed ... clean, professional. Again, highly recommend Willard Burton Baker Jr

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.
