Don’t waste your money, he will get you the same deal as court appointed lawyer. You are paying for terry but he is not your lawyer nor does he pay attention to your case. Spend your money on a lawyer who is actually going to look at your case and help you.

My husband Ricardo Almaraz is trying to get a hold of Mr Osvaldo Morales. I work with attorneys at county Jail and this is just unprofessional I haven’t got into this situation since I’m really patient but we had enough, I spoke to my attorney already to resolve this situation in a civil way and 1st step is a USPS certified mail since we don’t have any responds from text messages or calls we also called the office as well. We don’t care what is your relationship with Dalia De Luna but this is amateurish. I look forward to resolving this matter amicably and I am amenable to discussing mediation.

Horrible!!! I paid for a contract which they claimed would take 10-15 minutes to complete, since it is something that can be completed super-fast. We then received a call 3 days later and they stated that they could not complete the contract but that they could not return our money back because they had worked on it. Are you kidding me??? They claimed that their time is valuable, but what about my time? I paid for “Professional” services but I got the most unprofessional treat, it’s been almost 2 weeks and I Never got at least an apology from this guy or the contract I paid for. I ended up doing the contract by myself. I do not recommend this business at all!!!!!!

Javier Pena the anti corruption lawyer in the Valley.
I met Mr. Pena when he was "hired" by the corporation I was stockholder and we were engaged the stockholders in an "opression of a stockholder case. The president of the corporation without the board of director authority "hire" Pena to REPRESENT THE CORPORATION as counselor, he never show any documents signed by the board. What Pena did instead was to not to act s counsel of the corporation, but sided with the President of the corporation( who was signing his checks). Mr . Pena had an enormous task before hiim: trademark infringement , fraud , embezzlement ,fiduciary duty, loyalty, and that little business at the EDC at Weslaco that should have investigated etc, Mr. Pena just concentrated in one topic the "considerations" , trying to prove I was not a legal owner of my stock. I have 40 pages of evidence where I can prove I was the owner. The only way he can not prove I was the owner was never letting me to present them to a jury or convince the H. Judge in a Bench Trial with his arguments that I was not the owner. How can he do that? Before giving the answer, we had some deposition pending which he stopped, postpone and never present his witness as was negotiated. I thought we were talking with decent person. Now the outcome of the trial. He did not win the trial, nor the personal lawyer of the President of the corporation IT WAS MY OWN PERSONAL LAWYER THAT WON THE CASE FOR THEM BY GETTING ME LATE TO A HEARING, getting disqualified by Pena's motion and getting me out of the Court, after a very theatrical intervention before a H judge, in which I thought my lawyer was going to get in jail. My attorney outside
The court room manipulated me, telling me I was the one getting into jail that morning. Obviously the judgement was against me and I received 2 letters from the sheriff office, one telling me how I was going to pay the judgement and three days later a second letter where I was informed that the sheriff office was in possession of my stock certificate to be sold in a few days., which was impossible because wS kept in the bank's vault. Also I was informed how they got a reissue certificate from the H Judge, who was informmed that my certificate was lost. It is not lost is in my only sons hands. I sent letter to Mr. Pena asking a copy of the motion where the stock was reported list and until today I have nor received an answer from him . It took me a sho,e year just to present this but I had to learn exactly what had happen.

I was given a recommendation to this attorney as a good DTPA attorney. My attorney contacted him and after discussing ongoing litigation was stated to return call on the following Tuesday. I called on Thursday to see why he hadn't returned call. He stated he had forgotten. We discussed case was going to discuss with his firm and get back to me that afternoon. No return call. Sent several emails and not even the courtesy to return the emails or simply say NO the Firm was not interested in the case. Why would I want representation from a lawyer that has no respect or decency of even a return call to turn down the offer of counsel. He clearly needs to learn respect and consideration.

Be careful calling for information from this office. On my first call there, Mary Alice seemed slightly pestered, to say the least, by my need for information, stating that another person had already called to ask similar questions. I explained that this other person was somewhat confused, so I wanted to hear it straight "from the horses mouth". On my second call, I encountered a fully irritated Mary Alice, so I thanked her for putting up with me and for causing so much agitation. I do not plan on calling again, even if my loved ones life depends on it. Praying God softens these peoples hearts with compassion, sympathy and a better understanding for client's needs, in Jesus' name, AMEN.

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.
