I was involved in a motorcycle accident late September of 2014. Mr. Ghuneim and his team were very professional, and took care of all of my doctor's and physical therapy appointments. I will forever be grateful to Wisam and the rest of his team. They were there from start to finish. I'm happy to know they were on my side.

Mr. Wisam Ghuneim provided me clear counseling in relation to my situation before I elected to obtain his full services. Wisam was very professional, helpful, and confident through out the entire process. I enjoyed our relationship due to the fact that he informed me of all options, and was supportive with whatever decision I made and the direction in which I wanted to go. His communication throughout the process from Wisam and his staff was very good. My questions and concerns were always answered in a timely manner and I never felt "worried". I was quite comfortable throughout the process when typically matters of legal nature can be very nerve-racking and bring on un-needed anxiety. I didn't worry about the outcome because through my experience with Wisam I found him to be a very sharp, witty, and confident fellow that knew what he was doing. I am typically a highly involved individual by nature and I actually had no problem letting-go and having him do what he does best. We proceeded accordingly through due process until we reach our the desired outcome that I was looking for. Needless to say, I got what I wanted and can easily say that I will not think twice about calling Wisam again for any other legal needs that may come.

I first hired Mrs. Reyes when my family and I were involved in an accident and she went above and beyond to win the case within a matter of months. She also has represented me in my immigration case and is excellent on helping out gather as much documentation in order to once again win the case. I highly recommend anyone who has an immigration matter that needs an attorney who will contact you directly, work with your busy schedule then please be sure that the first and only call you make is to Mrs. Alma J. Reyes.

I was involved in a serious car accident last year. I hired Mrs. Reyes to represent me in my case because a friend recommended her to me. She took the time to personally explain the entire process thoroughly. She kept me informed and was always pleasant. She obtained a settlement in my case I was very pleased with. The insurance company was very rude and could not care less about me after their driver hit me. I'm so glad she was by my side against the insurance company. I recommended her to family and would recommend her to anyone involved in a crash.

what a waste of time and money, this firm should be called LIERS not lawyer. This man call his clients a couple of days before their hearing to make sure they have money before taking any step forward. one of his family lawyers (Samantha Gonzales) did not know her head from her toe. I will not recommend them for baby sitting a child.

Mr. Ghuneim was able to help my family dismiss two tickets that would have resulted in fines and be considered a misdemeanor offense. Support was wonderful, result was ideal (both dismissed) - and the cost was a fraction of the fines. Thank you again for all your help.

Mr. Ghuneim is the Judge in Arcola and if you do just a little research online, you will see how incredibly incompetently run Arcola Municipal is. Gwendolyn Tealer is really as bad as everyone here says. Wow. For anyone who goes in, watch out for this larger African American woman who really shouldn't be allowed to work in a court. I agree with the other reviewer, even a fast food job would fire her for this, but she is in charge of people's driving records? Based on these reviews, I did file a bar complaint against the Judge: Mo Ghuneim. We have clear evidence from the reviews alone that this Court is ruining people's records repeatedly, and I"m sure the Texas Bar will be very interested to find out what is happening in Arcola.
I faxed over some information to get my case resolved after Ms. Tealer asked me to send it over. Months later, it still hadn't been resolved. I called again, Ms. Tealer had taken no action, and I suppose feeling defensive, brought 'the attitude' out. Ms. Tealer is one of these people who isn't much at her job, so makes up for it with attitude. When I spoke to her on the phone the 3rd time, I felt that I had to go extra slow for her to understand, and that she may have been drunk like one of the other reviewers said, just realy low-class behavior.
I don't expect much from someone like Ms. Tealer, but I do expect more from the Judge and the Texas Bar, and have reported Mr. Ghuneim for this incompetence in Arcola.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND MICHAEL D. WEST AS AN ATTORNEY. HE WORKED ON A CASE, CLIENT WANTED A TRIAL BY JURY, BUT HE ACCEPTED TRIAL WITH ONLY JUDGE MAKING DECISION. DURING THE COURT PROCEEDING HE DOES NOT BRING THE EXPERTS TO PROVE THE CASE WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE CASE. CANCELLED THE MAIN CHARGES OF THE CASE, ADVISING CLIENT THAT IT WAS FOR THEIR BENEFIT. LOST THE CASE SINCE THE ESSENTIAL CHARGES WERE CANCELLED FROM THE CASE. LOST A HIGH VALUE SUIT BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE

I have retained Mr. West's legal services for the past two years. His representation through my divorce and subsequent proceedings have been quite exceptional. His knowledge of law, insight and counsel has been instrumental to me throughout this transitional period. He has earned my complete confidence and sincerest respect. I highly recommend him and his staff at West and West!

As my review states this attorney is a very smart attorney,but he is very lazy and really unorganized he will lose your evidence because he has no secretary. he will never return your calls until the day before court then he will submit a bill to you that reflects all of this work that he has been doing but it is a lie because he just starts blowing your phone up the night before your court date. he will take all your money and give you no receipts until you ask 100 times then he will throw one together that will eat all of your retainer and reflect that you owe him a couple grand more.....then he will hound you until you pay him then you will not here from him again until the night before court again he is always unprepaired !

Hired this guy several years ago ..
I recently found out the work he did for me wasn’t worth the paper it was written on.
I reached out to him about the problem .
I told him he should fix this screw up free of charge ..He focused on the free of charge.
I never heard back from him..
I felt like since he didn’t do it right it the first place and I paid him back then that he should fix it free of charge ..
I hired a new lawyer that knew what he was doing and he was able to fix the mess this guy left me with..
If you hire him just be warned his screw ups might come back to bite you in the butt later on …He never even apologized !!!!

Referred to this lawyer by a friend as he was highly recommended. A nice person in all but not sure of his attorney skills. The result was that after a year in and out of court, and several thousand dollars later the case remained as when we started. Had to constantly refresh the attorney of case details, provide tons of paperwork which I got the impression were never thoroughly gone through otherwise would not have to remind of case issue and details. Office staff was very good about collecting money or would threathen to withdrawl just before hearing date. At court the attorney would appear confused and uniformed over case points, and lacked negotiations skills to contend with opossing lawyer.
Attorney seemed unprepared and evetually lack the luster as he tried cases that were not his main practice. Did not provide itmemized service statement for services only a call that our bill was due payment.

This man will over sell himself as family lawyer, string you along not file any papers, miss the court date and then demand another payment. All to just ignore you after the case gets dismissed because of his negligence. In the hole 6500 dollars because this man lacks ethics and integrity.

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.
