Getting a Writ of Garnishment when you work so hard to stay on top of your obligations and be an honest person, is one of the most difficult things that can happen. My life was turned upside down four years ago when I was expecting my first child and my husband lost his job. It was a struggle trying to stay afloat with all the debts we owed, while my husband searched for a new job. After a few months, our savings account and lines of credit were completely depleted. The banks I was indebted to refused to work out an affordable payment plan, so when I couldn’t afford the bills any longer I was forced to make a very difficult decision.
I’ve thought about my debts ever since I wasn’t able to make the payments. To my dismay, four years later on February 17, 2014, my world crumbled. I received a Writ of Garnishment after judgment for one of my delinquent accounts. My bank and my employer froze my assets. I have two kids and I had bills to pay; I didn’t know what to do or where to turn. I was a wreck! I searched effortlessly to find someone whom I can trust, someone who was honest and someone that was there not for the money, but because they had my best interest at heart. On March 9, 2014 God answered my prayers and He sent me an Angel. I had the pleasure of meeting Attorney Rhonda A. Reece. She had the most positive and reassuring words to offer. She was so professional, she was cordial, she was kind, she was a great listener, she was humble, she was patient and she showed me that she cared for me and was there to help me get past my hurdle. She did not make me feel like a failure but helped me to realize that life happens and I’m not the only person that is being faced with these challenges. Despite the many clients I’m sure Attorney Reece had to assist, I felt like I was her priority.
She took the matter into her hands and investigated what she could, to help me out of my situation. She read the documents and explained them to me so that I could understand where I was, what would happen and what I needed to do to make my wrong, right! While she was busy communicating with the other Attorney(s) on my behalf, she kept me appraised on my case and answered all my questions in a timely manner. She faithfully called me numerous times throughout the day and at the end of each day with an update. She worked so hard for me and went above and beyond to negotiate an affordable settlement. On March 17, 2014, she contacted me with great news. She had it all worked out! Attorney Reece provided me with an affordable settlement letter that also indicated that once my funds were received, they would release me of the Judgment that was filed against me.
I am proud to say that because of God and Attorney Rhonda A. Reece, today I am closer to being debt free than I ever thought I could be. Thank you for being Amazing, Attorney Rhonda A. Reece! We were given a second chance to get our lives back because of your hard work and dedication. We are truly honored to have met you and are grateful for you! You are one of a kind a very special person. This world needs so much more like you! Without a doubt, I would definitely use your services again if I had to and you are very HIGHLY recommended as the #1 Best Attorney in Houston, Texas. Anyone that chooses to use your service, I can guarantee will be on their way to having much better, restful nights! God bless you, your work and your practice always, Attorney Rhonda A. Reece!

I used this Lawyer for a first time DWI. That's hard to beat in Houston, especially if you blow, so the next best thing is to try hard to minimize the damage to keep your job, not go to jail and spend as less money as possible, because it's going to cost you! This Lawyer listened and gave me options for my lifestyle. He always appeared in court; has a good repore with DA and Judge; in the end he followed my choice of the options and got me the minimum of all the conditions. Now I can move on. This is a very serious charge in Houston, so don't get a wimpy Lawyer. His price reasonable and no hidden or extra fees. He's a straight up kind of guy doing whatever best for your situation. Thanks Scott. (T.W.)

There simply aren't enough words to express our gratitude for Charlene. Left feeling hopeless and taken advantage of, she went above and beyond in representing us and fighting on our behalf. She took the time to understand our case, both in term of the legal facts and the personal toll it was taking on us. Her hard work brought us much needed closure and results we only dreamed of. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and her firm to others and hold them in the highest regard as both attorneys and compassionate human beings.

He did a great job! Fair price! Timely! I had another friend going thru similar circumstances. Mr. Burton provided services in less than 1/2 the time and for 1/2 the expense. He listens to your dilemma. One must realize , there is a lot attorneys cannot renegotiate due to the laws. But there are a few alternatives, and Mr. Burton researched my options with his resources and colleagues and provided an equitable resolution. You do have to disclose all that both parties have on the table to explore the options. My agreed order was primarily changes in child support and visitations. That was finalized by the court. The ex was behind in other matters and did not want to go to court and Mr. Burton researched a settlement out of court for that matter. His assistant is very helpful and patient. If you are in a hurry just let them know and keep pushing. they will work with you. Do your own research, it helps understand the limits attorneys have. You need to provide as much help as you can since all circumstances are different.
I will use him again if needed.

On initial consultation, he informed me of the severity along with the consequences of the charge brought against me and began to lay out a comprehensive defense strategy to address. Always kept me updated regarding the case status and in the end got the charge dismissed in rapid succession once hired. Hope to never be a position again to require a criminal attorney, but if I ever need one, he will be my first call.

After a frustrating battle with our major insurance carrier for over a year from the devastating Bastrop Complex fires of 2011, we decided to seek out legal assistance to get our damaged roof repaired. It was our first time ever using legal means to settle an insurance claim. We were directed to Attorney Eddie Rodriguez who has a proven record of successfully representing clients who faced similar battles over Katrina and Rita hurricane damage claims. Just watching Mr. Rodriguez's negotiating skills in action was impressive. Thankfully we never had to go to court, and our claim was settled with our insurance company in arbitration. When it was all said an done, we could have put four roofs on our house with the settlement Mr Rodriguez negotiated for us. We can not say enough about the excellent legal service we received.

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.
