I had an excellent experience working with Lawyer Raphael. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to my father-in-law's case. Thanks to his expertise, he was able to get his Class B misdemeanor dismissed, which was a huge relief. Throughout the process, his communication was outstanding, he kept my father-in-law informed every step of the way and made sure we both fully understood our options. He took the time not only to make two phone calls to explain to my father-in-law but also to keep me in the loop. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. His dedication truly made all the difference. We will forever be thankful. Thank you so much once again!

Timothy is definitely someone you should call if you want an attorney who knows the system, takes the time to explain the situation to you so you understand it, and follows through on what he says he will do. His quick actions certainly took a load off of my mind as he resolved my matter. I am very thankful I contacted him.

Mr. Bloodworth was the best attorney ever. He helped me with a messy divorce and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to help me get through a rough time. He's very thorough, he knows the law and when you walk into court with him as your attorney, he has a lot of respect within the court system. He is also blessed with a wonderful office crew. The whole experience was impressive, from the 1st day talking with him , down to the final day of court. Now, I'm constantly bragging on him and referring people to his office telling them they won't be disappointed. The whole experience with Mr. Bloodworth and his office staff was amazing, you just don't see that much these days. If you're looking for a great attorney ,Mr . Bloodworth is your guy and you won't be disappointed.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful The Bloodworth Law Firm is. Mr. Bloodworth represented my husband in a child custody case. His intelligence & class in the court room is astounding. We felt confident every time we entered the court room. The ladies at the Bloodworth Law Firm were very helpful & knowledgeable. Every time I called with a question, I received an answer almost immediately. I would recommend the Bloodworth Law Firm to anyone who needs an incredible attorney!

When I came to Jack McCormick I had no idea how to file for disability - what the process was or what to expect. All I knew was that I was mentally and physically no longer able to work. First and foremost, Mr. McCormick listened to me. In order to work as long as I did, I had downplayed and hid my disabilities for years. It was difficult to go from that to talking about everything, having to discuss every detail of my physical and mental impairments, and ask for help. Mr. McCormick started from the very beginning and walked me through each step. Filing for disability is terrifying. You are unable to work, finances are low, and there are all these forms to fill out. You are in a state of limbo waiting on the decision. Mr. McCormick stayed with my case. He told me exactly what was required and expected. He reviewed all my documents and discussed what was needed to complete my records. When I went to my hearing, Mr. McCormick knew that I was nervous and arrived early to wait with me. When we went to court he helped me stay calm and supported me as I shared very painful experiences.

john Paul Hopkins and the Hopkins Law Firm did an OUTSTANDING job for me. Mr. Hopkins has a tox expert (Ms. Wendy) that works for him full time. She knows all about the tox stuff and the law related to it. Between John Paul and Ms. Wendy they had every base covered and then some. I can't tell you how awesome it was to watch them in action the day they got my case dismissed. When we got to court for the hearing there were about 4-5 Grimes County SO sitting on a bench waiting to testify against me. They were SHUT DOWN and whatever the law was that John Paul and Ms. Wendy argued, when we left after the case was dismissed ALL of the Grimes Co SO were gone and none of them ever stepped foot into the courtroom. It really was like Perry Mason had just handled business. I can never thank them enough. A+++++ R.Z.

I approached the law office of Owens and spoke to Britt Hall this past week, needing assistance with completing the paperwork for my final divorce decree. He was very helpful with advice, legal information regarding the filing of a pro se divorce, issues related to child custody and child support as we already had a case filed with the Office of Atty General, and gave of his time to hear my situation and assist with the need. He is extremely bright, professional, and typed up the entire legal document from memory - I was amazed. Although many cannot say good things about attorneys, he was empathetic, caring and willing to listen. Would definitely recommend.

I met Denise five years ago and and she helped me with some motions in my divorce as I was Pro Se after releasing the attorney I had hired (lawyers don't get fired, they withdraw) . I wish that I had consulted with her in the first place as she made a lasting impression that brought me back 5 years later. This year it became necessary to modify my final decree, and was too complex to go it alone. Denise and her staff handled my case professionally and ethically while giving me realistic expectations. The end result was a favorable outcome for my children and myself (icing on the cake). I hope that I will not need her again in the future, but will be my first call if I do. I highly recommend.

Ok, please forgive the long post that is about to follow. Let me preface the scenario with the following statement; I hate 99.9% of lawyers who are currently practicing law or previously practiced. Without getting into too much detail, let's just say they violated my trust at an early age and therfore left a bad taste in my mouth sense. Now enters Kristy into a very stressful scenario in the small town of Liberty Texas. Because of the small nature of the town, apparently Judges don't have to be as versatile in law as in the big cities or so I suspect. Needless to say our poor attempt at Google law left us disappointed and broken, luckily this lawyer that I call a Saint stood up and spoke on our behalf with the necessary confidence and aptitude to silence assumptions from the court. After hiring her the level of empathy alongside understanding/accommodating a strict budget was both surprising and relieving. She accomplished in a month what we were unable to do so in 10 years, and did so with a transparent method that solidified our trust in her. Hopefully this will convey how pleased I am with her services, alongside an understood commitment to her as long as we are in Texas. You will not be disappointed, I promise, and please note that I don't usually write reviews as a majority of my business interactions fall short.

I didn't fully agree with everything he did but didn't really have much of a choice.

The world needs to know about the illegal activity that took placed years ago. I even have emails from my abusive ex husband detailing the illegal activity they engaged in which isnt limited to filing forged documents, harrassing me, showing up to my residence, etc. If you all care about the legal system its time to get rid of people who are harming out children and this woman If she harmed mine Im sure there are other children and women whove went through the same or worse. Im not going to stop speaking out until I know children are safe from this person. Im going to use the same legal system she demeans and abuses to harm children to get kids lik my daughter Justice.

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:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. 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.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
