After a long a bitter 2 years custody dispute, 2 previous attorneys, multiple false allegations of child abuse, supervised visitation and hope lost. Bill stepped in 3 months before a 2 day jury trial and was able to gain me as the father, primary custody of my 3 year old daughter, Bill is absolutely a superior and methodical tactician of family law. He was unwavering in our pursuit to right the wrong that had befallen my child and myself through the court system. My child now has both her parents in her life, father as primary, and everything is going well.

We as a family had to face the incredible tragedy of losing my wife and the mother of my two small girls due to a car accident that possessed mitigating circumstances. We selected Mr. Mitchell to represent us in pursuing damages due to negligence contributing to her death. Though he could not bring her back to us...he helped ease the pain by settling out of court so that we could move forward with our lives and eliminate future financial stresses. I would highly recommend Mr. Mitchell if you are in need of representation.

Jack Jamison acted as an expert witness on legal issues in a very complex matter for my company. The company attorney, a long time attorney, honors graduate of one of the top law schools in the nation and former partner at a major, world wide law firm, had never met Mr. Jamison before Jamison was recommended by another attorney. My attorney stated that Jack Jamison was one of the most knowledgeable attorneys he had ever met, grasped the issues unbelievably well, and gave advice that led to the fantastic result my company had in the case. He was quick with his response to complex questions and knew the law, facts of the case, issues, and recommended strategy in the case like no other attorney he had ever met. Based upon my experiences with Jack Jamison in my company's case, he is one of the top attorneys in Dallas and the state and should have nothing less than a 10 rating.

After several months of fighting with my insurance company regarding a rather large claim, the insurance company made it very clear that they would either delay my claim as much as possible, or flat out deny it at some point in the distant future. That's when I decided to hire Scott Keller. A few short months later, the entire claim was paid in full. I would highly recommend hiring Scott Keller to handle any insurance claims you might have.

She was very prompt in answering all my phone messages and e-mails. She explained the procedures and the way the immigration people and process work. I contracted her after speaking with other immigration lawyers, she took the time to actually hear me and looked into my situation without charging me for it. I would recommend her to help with the immigration process, especially with cases that might present some complications.

Jeff helped me deal with the insurance companies after a hunting accident that put me in the ICU/hospital for 2 months. Without his assistance, I would not have been successful in my efforts to recover financial compensation from the involved parties and their insurance companies. His knowledge of not only the laws related to hunting accidents, but the overall process was impressive. Jeff, along with his wife Jill, not only took interest in my case, but also in my life as I recovered and healed. They bent over backwards to accommodate any requests I had, any troubles I had getting information to them, and to make me feel comfortable and confident that they were 100% on my team. I could focus on getting back to full health while they handled everything, taking an enormous amount of stress off of my plate. I consider them friends for life, and would recommend Hightower Law to anyone that may need services of a competent, experienced lawyer when dealing with these unfortunate circumstances.

I hired Bryan Garner and his team of five lawyers to work on an appellate brief for my client. His reputation as a top-notch writer is unquestionable, and I was interested to see it in practice. Blown away is all I can really say. His description of editorial consulting doesn't do it justice. It wasn't an "editing job" so much as a complete rewrite of the brief. Despite my initial skepticism during the process, the final production was impeccable--no-spin but persuasive, and above all winning.
You've never experienced anything as intense as a round of serial editing in Garner's office. It is humbling but indisputably enlightening. It was a learning experience that I've put into practice in my group. We've made it a practice of reviewing some of Garner's edits on the brief we hired him on to use in our later work, hoping the genius will rub off on us. And squeezing out every last drop of goodness from that appellate masterpiece.
This is one satisfied client, and I am eager to work with him again if I get a case that would interest him. The legal gods willing.

Jeff did such an amazing job for me, after my dad died without a will. I really needed someone who was strong for me at that time because I was so upset and distraught, and he was strong for me. Jeff was also very kind and compassionate with me through the process. I strongly suggest Jeff Andress, he will work very hard on your case, for a VERY reasonable price!

I used Mr. Clements for an insurance disagreement after an accident. Never in my life have I met a more caring, kind and HONEST lawyer. I have used lawyers in the past, along with other members of my family (almost all civil law - not criminal), and I have never met someone as compassionate and thorough as Mr. Clements. He will tell you like it is, and he will be MORE than fair if a settlement is involved. I know I rated the "kept me informed" as a "4/5", but that is the way I wanted it - since I sleep during the day. But - any question I had or issue that came up - they were readily available and answered everything completely. I truly believe it was God who led me to Mr. Clements after all of my family and my history of terrible experiences with lawyers. I had hesitated so long as I didn't want to have to involve an attorney, but in the end, I am so glad I did - only because I found Mr. Clements.

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.
