When you need a good guy that isn't afraid to take on the backstreet bullies Brett Stalcup is your man. He's got the right mix of patience and assertiveness to get results and the years of experience to know when and how to use each for the best possible outcome.
I've brought multiple legal matters to Brett and appreciate that he takes some on personally and refers others out based on the specifics of the case making sure our best interests are served. Brett has helped us keep an awful mess from becoming an all out disaster on more than one occasion.

My daughter and I were involved in a bad accident and Wes held our hand through the entire process. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and caring. Wes kept me informed through the entire process and actually listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. He fought for me and my daughter like we were members of his family. Through all the healing and pain, it made me feel great to know that he and his team was right there every step of the way. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!!!
Wes and the Lenahan Law firm (Dallas, TX) will always hold a special place in my heart!!

I was injured in Dallas, but I live in Tucson, Arizona. I was very apprehensive about finding a good Texas lawyer from nearly a thousand miles away. After searching on Avvo, I found Wes Black. I believe that hiring them for my severe injury case was the best possible decision I could have made. Wes showed great concern for my situation, and i never felt that my being so far from his office had any negative impact on my case. He got me an excellent settlement that covered all of my medical expenses including all necessary reconstructive and cosmetic procedures plus pain and suffering. He was a pleasure to work with, and he made an extremely difficult situation much easier to bear. I highly recommend Wes Black to anyone needing a good, compassionate personal injury lawyer.

Anyone that has worked with a law firm knows that the trust factor is #1. Being kept in the loop about my issues at all times made me much more comfortable and also aware that my case was always being watched and looked after........ not always the situation with other firms I have had dealings with.

Mike Richardson is one of the most talented attorneys I know. His creativity and analytic skills are outstanding. Perhaps his best qualities would be considered being a great communicator, having a razor sharp intellect, a warm sense of humor, and being incredibly focused on getting the job done for his client. Mike is someone I admire, trust, and heartily recommend.

I have used Micheal Richardson's firm to represent me as both a defendant and plaintiff'. Micheal and his firm, performed exceptionally well in both capacities. Michael came up to speed very quickly and I was impressed by his thorough understanding of my industry. He also presented me with several options for each case, giving me a projected timeline, likelihood of each potential outcome, projected legal fees and potential liabilities. He presented all the options and allowed me to choose the best course if action. Michael is aggressive, but not reckless, and it is clear that his peers recognized his excellence. If you are on the apposing side of a case be prepared to work your butt off trying to keep up with Michael. I will continue to use Micheal and his firm.

I sought Ms. Wilson’s counsel for my divorce after firing an incompetent attorney, and while the divorce took much longer than I thought, I can’t say enough positive things about her. She responded promptly to my calls and emails, and always kept me apprised of any communication with the opposing attorney. The settlement of my divorce was more than I anticipated, and she helped me avoid a jury trial, which the opposing attorney had requested. Divorce is painful; however, if you find yourself in need of legal counsel, I highly recommend Carol Wilson.

Mr. Dippel was my lawyer for a case about my Mother's death. He made sure I was informed about everything, understood what would happen and was very honest with me. He knew the law and his recommendations were great. I truly recommend him as a person and lawyer.

Bill Dippel handled my medical malpractice case very professionally but also in a very personal manner. From the beginning he believed in my case and was confident in it's outcome. His associate Holly Kerr was very diligent in her case-building efforts, which were key to our success. I was regularly informed of where my case stood and what the next steps would be. In a case that was turned down by several attorney's, Bill Dippel secured a settlement for me that not only was significantly more than I anticipated, but also in a much shorter time than I expected. I would strongly recommend the law firm of Willam K. C. Dippel without hesitation.

Bill worked tirelessly and successfully on a personal injury case for our daughter, who is a minor. We found him to be very thorough, down to earth, skillful, knowledgeable, empathetic and equitable in his approach. He took the time to fully explain the caveats of various actions and positions with our case, so we could make well informed decisions. He spent time connecting with our daughter to help her understand what he does and how he was working for her. In our opinion, he interacted seamlessly and effortlessly with opposing counsel as well as the court appointed advocate for our daughters case to achieve the best possible outcome for her. Bill negotiated a settlement for our case beyond what we expected.

Charlie Waters got me through the most difficult ordeal of my life. There were times when I just wanted to give up and give in, but he wouldn’t let me. He was strong when I was weak and tenacious and tough when I wasn’t able to be. He became my champion. He sued the persons responsible for the auto accident and made them pay. Mr. Waters is a great lawyer and I was so fortunate to have him with me. He was more than just my lawyer though. He became a dear and trusted friend and that meant so much to me and my husband. Mr. Waters is a very special man. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a tough, honest lawyer who really cares about his clients.

Shelly Greco is an outstanding attorney and individual. She handled my auto accident, and from the moment we met and begin working on my case, she diligently worked on my behalf. Shelly first and foremost showed she cared about me by being instrumental in facilitating getting the help I needed to recovery from my injuries. She took the time to check in to see how I was doing physically, mentally, emotionally, my overall state of being, and if there was an issue, she handled it immediately so that I could get the assistance I needed without undo stress or grievance for me. Shelly explained my case to me, always taking time to make sure I understood what was going on, she was honest about the things I would be facing, she kept me updated on the status of my case as it progressed and obtained compensation that highly satisfied me. I would recommend Shelly Greco of Eberstein and Witherite and her legal assistant Mr.Reagan Kelly to anyone who is seeking an attorney and team who know how to take care of their client and obtain the best possible results for them. If ever I am in need of an attorney again, I will not hesitate to hire Shelly Greco.

When my car accident first happened, I wasn't sure what to do. After my initial meeting with Shelly I was confident in her ability to represent me. That is not to say that this wasn't a trying experience for me. When you are used to being the man who provides for his family and you are unable to do so one day, it is a very uncomfortable feeling. I followed Shelly's advice and did as she asked and I am very pleased with Eberstein & Witherite and my attorney Shelly Greco!

Shelly made a difficult situation tolerable / i would never use anyone else and she was totally for my minor child and made my daughter feel better about the accident and situation / she helped me clam down and look at situation / Shelly is very well informed and kept me informed when information was available or changed. Shellys professionalism is the best i have seen with any attorney and i deal with them on a day basis, others could take notice and learn something. Shellys compassion and understanding of the situation and law was greatly appreciated, follow up was outstanding. Thanks Shelly for all you have done for us. I wish you the best!

I can’t recommend Tom and his team highly enough! From the moment I consulted with him, I knew I was in the best possible hands. Navigating the legal system can be incredibly daunting, but Tom and his team made the entire process smooth and understandable. Their communication was exceptional – I was always kept informed of every development in my case, and they were always prompt in responding to my questions. I never felt like I was just another case file; they dedicated a significant amount of time to truly understanding my situation and exploring every possible avenue for a positive outcome.
And the results speak for themselves! Tom and Rebekah fought tirelessly on my behalf and secured a deal that exceeded my expectations in every way. I honestly believe I couldn't have gotten a better outcome with any other attorney. He's not just a brilliant legal mind, but he's also incredibly personable. He has a fantastic sense of humor, which helped to lighten the stress of the situation, and it was clear from the start that he genuinely cared about me and my case. He treated me with respect and empathy, and I felt truly supported throughout the entire process.
If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, communicative, dedicated, and truly cares about his clients, look no further than Tom Cox! I am beyond grateful for his hard work and the exceptional results he achieved for me. Choosing him was the best decision I made, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. You won't be disappointed!

I was lucky enough to come across Andrew while facing a charge that didn't make sense to either of us. I knew nothing about the law and the rights I had until meeting with him. This was something that could have taken the life I knew away forever. After meeting with him and seeing how calm and certain he was, I knew then I had nothing to worry about. The proof was in black and white and he made sure that the evidence was seen without having to say a word. He assured me that we would get through this process and come out in the end being better than the ones that have done wrong. I am thankful everyday that our paths crossed and will never forget the impact his work made in my life.

Todd and his associates at PayneMitchell Lawgroup were very helpful and diligent in getting my case settled. I initially tried dealing with the insurance companies myself and soon discovered this was not the best course of action. I kept getting the runaround at every turn. After consulting with them, they handled everything at no out of pocket expense to me. This was a huge burden off my shoulders. I had been through a horrific accident already and having to handle everything myself was overwhelming and quite stressful. After a short time, the case was settled, I never had to appear in court, and the settlement was by far more than I expected. I would recommend their services to anyone in need of an honest, hard working attorney.

Hands down easy peasy experience working with this firm! I was referred to Trujillo Gonzalez by my best friend whom had unfortunately been in a similar situation with an auto accident. I am so happy I called, they fought for me until we reached the best deal we possibly could and from expecting nothing and being so disappointed with the whole system- Trujillo González came in and gave me the biggest surprise with a compensation far greater than expected!
Two years went by and it was worth the wait with little effort from my part! I am so appreciative of everyone’s hard work for my case! I couldn’t be happier to leave them a perfect star rating!

Mary Alice represented me against an attorney who failed to timely file a report. As a result of the lawyer’s negligence, I was unable to pursue my former lawsuit. The case settled before trial for a confidential amount. Mary Alice is personable, exceptionally thorough, and sincerely cares about who you are. Her substantial experience gives her valuable insight when advising clients on settlement and trial decisions. Her skill and reputation, I feel, increased my chance for the favorable outcome I obtained. I was very fortunate to have a lawyer and staff of this caliber. I highly, highly recommend Mary Alice Mclarty!

I was recommended by our family lawyer in another state in a personal injury case stemming from an automobile accident, where I suffered multiple injuries, operations and a lengthy rehabilitation. At our initial meeting, Mary Alice and her team came well prepared and displayed the highest level of professionalism and her expressed her deepest compassion for my family and I. Mary Alice provided a thorough and honest evaluation of the potential medical claim and the risks associated with personal injury cases. Working with her through this process, I was impressed by her high level of integrity, competence, experience and keeping us well informed. She also excercised great due professional care in managing the out of pocket expenses and always looked after our best interests. Although we were prepared to go to trial, Mary Alice was able to obtain a favorable settlement through arbitration. It was obvious that the opposing Attorneys, Arbitrator and the Judge respected her credibility, integrity and abilities, which contributed in obtaining a fair settlement for me and my family. I highly recommed Mary Alice McLarty!

I absolutely love Ms. Kerr!! She came on as my attorney a few days before my trial and got me exactly what I wanted from my divorce. I can't thank her enough for what she has done for my child and I. I was completely stressed to the max and didn't know what I was going to do. She is my hero and cares more about you as a person, than what she can get out of you. If you need a great attorney, she is the one. THANK YOU!!

I tried handling my own personal injury a few years ago, thinking I couldn't afford to hire an attorney and to try and do it myself, but I got absolutely no where with the insurance company because they didn't want to pay my claim. They knew I didn't have an attorney and so they thought they didn't have to take care of my medical bills and for my pain and suffering. I have learned how much weight hiring the right attorney means in getting justice! I sure needed help and someone told me to go see Robert Kemp that had had great success with him, and I'm so glad I took this person's advice! You'll know after meeting him that you hired the right attorney! The insurance company sure paid attention when Robert took over my case and he got me the compensation that I deserved. I am thankful for this wonderful attorney!

From the first phone call I made to Mr. Bush, until the final court appearance, he was absolutely outstanding. He was extremely informative, quick to respond, and positive. I had a pretty bad legal problem in Dallas and in Collin county, but he got them both resolved with an outcome that was even better than I was hoping for. I can’t express enough how much I would recommend hiring him. 100% A+++

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.
