I used Curt Covington to represent me on a case where I had a Company out of Emory who built my Metal Building. This is the most Knowledgeable Attorney I have ever used for a construction legal case. Now like most people I could say I was shocked at my legal fees, BUT this man and firm was worth ten times what they charged me. They were well prepared, professional and got me a more than a fair settlement for this case. If you want results, you are calling a professional law firm that gets results. Would I use them again? Absolutely because they showed me, they walk the walk, not just talk the talk. They do many different kinds of cases, but if you're looking to sleep at night without stress you have arrived. Thank you, Curt, for all your professional support on winning this case and getting all my legal fees paid. May God continue to bless you, your family and all at this Lawyer firm. SC

Great - very straightforward with me about how things were going to work. He was a lil slow meeting me at the court house on some of my court dates...ok, really, really slow a few times...but i'm def not his only client, so I get that part. In the end, he was able to get several charges thrown out and got me on probation when I probably shouldn't have been. Overall very pleasant to work with & a pretty cool guy in general. Highly recommended.

Hired Mr. Wheeler to handle my divorce. It was a nasty divorce and a difficult one, but he got me a better deal than I ever imagined. While in the middle of the divorce, because I was a little messed up, I got a DWI. Mr. Wheeler worked with the DA to get me basically off while sternly instructing me that he wouldn't do this again and told me to get it together. I did and am turning my life around.

I received an arrest for a 3rd DUI. Needless to say I was at my wits end. There was no blame to go around, it was my fault. I was referred to Mr. Gray and was very fortunate for him to take my case on. Due to fact I was a Veteran, Mr. Gray was very familiar with the Veterans Court Program here in Rockwall County. He was actually a part of the Vet Court Team for some time. We agreed the Vet Court program was the best course of action. Mr. Gray worked closely with me to get me into the program. It was not an easy process. On my part, I was writing letters and Mr. Gray was in constant contact with the County DA. Needless to say, approximately 9 months later, I was accepted into the program. After two years in the program and successfully completing the rigorous requirements, my charges were expunged. None of this would have happened without Mr. Gray. If you find yourself in serious legal bind, and you feel like there is no hope, I would highly recommend reaching out to Mr. Greg Gray!

Attorney Gray handled my 21 year old sons DWI#2. His guidance and direction made this very unpleasant situation tolerable. Our results were even better than we could have possibly expected. Attorney Gray is very experienced and set our minds at ease.

I've known G. David Smith for over a decade and he's my go to person when anything arises in business (yes, even though when it's outside his scope of practice). He's down to earth, makes you feel comfortable and his ethics are very high. He's a straight shooter and doesn't sugar coat it. His office is a very comfortable setting in a beautiful victorian house. He's knowledgeable and if he doesn't know something when it's out of his scope of work, he tells you and researches it. If it's not worth it, he will tell you to move on and take your bruise.

I called David for a consultation for an injury. He was very polite, very professional, and honest in his dealings with me, even though his honesty cost him my business today ( he informed me that I could handle it on my own though he would be glad to do it) , I will be using him if needed in the future.

I was referred to Ryan Lee by another highly recommened attorney in Rockwall County. She referred me to Ryan's Law Firm as she knew I needed someone that was going to be there to represent my case. Everytime I have called Ryan's and David's office either Ryan or David will accept my call. They also always answer emails promptly. I strongly recommend this Law Firm. David and Ryan Lee are straight to the point and have always addressed my questions and concerns.
I hope this review helps the next person that needs strong representation and support in a stressful time.

Ryan is by far the best lawyer to use for a criminal defense case in Rockwall County. He was very attentive to our concerns and uncertainties regarding the whole legal process of a criminal case. He is very knowledgeable and professional in the court setting, but also very personable and practical outside of the courtroom. His rates were affordable and he was worth every penny of it! If you’re facing a criminal case, Ryan will go to bat for you and put your mind at ease while he fights to get you the best possible outcome. You won’t be disappointed!!

Ryan was the most professional, attentive and knowledgeable attorney one could have . He was not only available to me at any time during my proceedings, but to my family as well - not only assisting in the legal aspect of things, but being a calming force during a very stressful time. His knowledge of Texas law as well as the courts serve him well as he helped navigate my case to the best resolution possible under the circumstances.
I highly recommend Ryan Lee and his firm to anyone who is looking for a highly skilled, competent attorney who will do all that he can to bring your case to a favorable end.

After being struck in an auto accident, I contacted Ms. Nwigwe to ensure my interests were handled properly. Ms. Nwigwe was professional and personable from the start. She explained every step of the process and broke things down in a relatable way. Ms. Nwigwe was able to obtain a fair settlement and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. I recommend contacting Ms. Nwigwe if you ever need legal representation. She is fair, honest, and produces winning results.

I'm single with no kids and I wanted to make sure my house and earnings were available to certain members of my family should I pass untimely. Ms. Nwigwe sat down with me and explained what would happen to my possessions in the event I passed without a will and circumstances that could arise in the event I do have a living will. She took the time to answer all my questions and even made herself available by phone afterwards. She explained the process to me clearly and did not pressure me to hire her. She gave me some links that I might be interested in and told me to call her if I had any questions or concerns.
After looking over some of the information and speaking with my family, I contacted Ms. Nwigwe again and told her I wanted to start drafting my will and living will. She kept me updated and involved throughout the process, which made me very comfortable. She completed the documentation in a timely and efficient manner.
Ms. Nwigwe was great and has a wonderful personality. She had me smiling and laughing and was very personable. I would definitely seek her services again should the opportunity present itself.

The Law Office of KC Ashmore deserves a 10 STAR Review. KC Ashmore got a serious traffic offense dismissed for me which saved me from a conviction and a an enormous insurance battle. This cab driver hit my car, crunched in the side and was trying to blame me for causing an accident where they were clearly at fault. The prosecutor would not budge until KC Ashmore, a highly skilled trial lawyer, let them know that we had witnesses and were completely ready to try the case before a jury. They talked to our witness, dismissed the case & charged the cab driver. Mr. Ashmore is very professional, well prepared for trial, promptly returns phone calls and is a tough Texas trial lawyer. He gets an A+++ in my book!

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.
