I contacted the law firm of Springer-Lyle with regards to a traffic accident in which my husband was not at fault and was injured. In my initial call, I gave all the pertinent information. Frank Lyle then called me and was very helpful, giving suggestions and reassurance as to how to handle both the property damage issue as well as personal injury. We concluded that unless something unforeseen comes up, my husband's injuries do not appear to be serious, we should negotiate the settlement ourselves. It was refreshing to have such a helpful consultation. It was not rushed, and Attorney Lyle talked with me until I was satisfied and had all my questions answered.

I have unfortunately been in 2 wrecks that were very different from each other since moving to Texas and I have used Frank everytime. I know that frank is the experience I need to guide me in the right direction. My last case took a very long time due to the other party but Frank's team kept in contact, always was able to talk through any question or fear I had. I would recommend anyone to Frank and his team.

No tengo palabras de agradecimiento para The Albarado Law Firm por su implicación personal en mi caso familiar. Gracias a su personal por su amabilidad, tiempo, y esfuerzo. Fue un alivio encontrar un abogado bilingüe donde realmente sentí que se preocuparon por mi situación por yo soy del Sur de Texas. Sus atenciones a los detalles me brindaron tranquilidad en una etapa difícil y complicada en mi vida. El abogado Albarado es muy preciso, justo y sumamente hábil para negociar con la otra parte y llegar a un arreglo donde todos estuvieron de acuerdo con los términos sin tener que llevar el caso a los tribunales. Definitivamente recomiendo encarecidamente al Abogado Albarado a toda la comunidad de Denton y sus alrededores que estén en busca de un buen abogado defensor porque el luchara por sus derechos hasta el fin.

After being involved in a car accident, which required surgery, I was faced with an uncooperative insurance company. I met with Jeff Springer, who put me at ease as he took case and quickly went to work to begin the process of getting accountability and closure for me. I let him and his staff handle the issues, while I focused on healing and recovery. The process wasn’t stress free, but it was much more manageable with Jeff taking the lead. I appreciate his efforts and would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing assistance.

I do not know if there are enough words to show my gratitude to Springer-Lyle, Attorneys at Law. In March, 1998, my husband suffered two aneurysms at the stem of his brain. Everything in his brain was wiped cleaned. He survived but was no longer able to speak, walk, eat, drink or take care of himself again. He had been going to the doctor for about 6 to 8 weeks complaining about headaches. He was misdiagnosed. I turned to Frank Lyle and Jeff Springer for assistance in getting financial aid for my husband. They reviewed all of my husband’s health, doctor and hospital records. For the next four years, I put all my faith into the Lord’s, Frank’s and Jeff’s hands and let them do what was right for my husband. They were able to settle my case against the Health Insurance Company and doctors so that my husband would get the physical and mental care he would need for the rest of his life. Frank Lyle and Jeff Springer are most compassionate and caring men I have ever meant. They are extremely hard working and very diligent lawyers. I do not believe any other lawyers could have done better. I took care of my husband and let them do whatever they needed to do. I cannot thank them enough.

Tier 1 representation; best decision was to hire Mr. DuPuy as my attorney. My case was rather involved, being falsely accused of family violence. I presented Mr. DuPuy with my side of what happened and he got to work. It was clear when we went to hearing that he was prepared, and he was always two steps ahead of opposing counsel. I firmly believe that if anyone else would have represented me, the outcome would have been different. Mr. DuPuy was successful in beating the charge, and the order was denied. Thank you Mr. DuPuy.

Devon DuPuy is honest, extremely intelligent and quick to fight for his clients. It was very apparent to me the few times we entered the courthouse that Devon's reputation speaks for itself. Devon is well respected among his peers and by the Denton County Court. Let me tell you...Devon is fierce, but fair. He is straightforward and his level of integrity is admirable. I have had the unfortunate experience of child custody modifications, multiple family court related issues all stemming from a terrible divorce and a relentless effort to alienate me from my child--even false criminal accusations that over the last seven years literally cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars. When you reach out for help, especially from an attorney, you are suppose to feel safe-not taken for a ride and used as a paycheck with no real interest in an innocent child's life and the long term, life altering changes families deal with as a result from court and the rulings being made. I have had a level of anxiety over the last seven years that I would not wish on my worst enemy. I can finally say, for the first time--Devon made that go away and words will never describe how thankful I am to him and his staff (Alisha and Minerva) for their compassion and dedication--not just to me, but working for the best interest of a child as well. Thank you.

Needing an attorney, a friend passed on her information. Without knowing how my case will unfold, I will still undoubtedly recommend her. Having felt buried, now I do not. She's fascinating in her ability to respond so quickly with exactly what needs to be said yet delivering it with a dose of subtle kindness, in the right time. She's always profession, firm (exclamation point) and impressive. And, extremely likable, in an interesting way. I couldn't have found a better attorney and feel completely secure in her ability to defend my case.

From the first meeting Grace was always professional and I never doubted her ability. It really came to light during negotiations with the other party and their lawyers. She literally “ripped them a new one” when presenting my case. I can only say I was glad I wasn’t on the other end during that meeting! Her presentation of the facts and demeanor are what you want in an attorney. I would definitely recommend her.

Jenna Magana Has been representing and advising me on family law matters for over six years now. Always making herself available and simplifying the processes, in a way that's easy to understand. Jennas personal approach always gives me confidence that she will be at her best while helping my family and I with our unique dynamics. The results as of today has me with shared (50/50) custody of my three children from my first divorce. She insured that the procedures were very civil and amicable for all concerned. She walked me through the process on a second divorce the ending with, as a dad, granted primary custody of my now three-year-old daughter. I will always be grateful to Have Jenna by my side when these types of legal issues arise. I highly recommend Jenna for any child custody and family law matters any parent may face.

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.
