My name is Shane, I’ve had the privilege of being represented by one of only 2 scientist lawyers in the state, R.C. Pate! 4 years ago I was referred to RC from another attorney, who said she thought he could help. Help is an understatement, not only did I receive an extremely responsive team who stood up for me when money was scarce a life got very difficult. Not only did R.C. stoo the state and federal governments from unjust garnishment of my disability, but he went further, he saved my freedom! I AM NOT A FELON thanks the the dedicated team of R.C. Pate!! I can enjoy being an American, travel, shoot and vote because of the counsel who represents me. Hopefully I don’t need an attorney in the future, if I do I’ll ONLY call R.C.

Mr. Santos was professional from the start. He handled my case extremely well. My ex husband wanted changes with his child support. Mr. Santos requested documents and followed up with them. He took care of everything. His attention to detail with my case led to a wonderful outcome on my behalf. I would not hesitate to hire him again if needed. I highly recommend Mr. Ted Santos to anyone in need of legal representation.

I was referred by a friend to contact Ted Santos regarding a Deceptive Trade Practices Act case with a local car dealership. Ted returned my call quickly and outlined the process in terms I could easily understand. He explained both the upside and downside of filing this claim and process/costs of moving forward. What impressed me most was his honesty in letting me know that a case like this might be settled quickly or, if the dealership decided that they believed they had done nothing wrong and fought back, the time and costs could spiral quickly upward. Based on this sound advice, I went back to the dealership and negotiated a settlement on my own. If Ted had not taken the time to explain all my options, I would have not pursued a more reasonable settlement with the dealership. The next time I need good legal advice, I will call Ted.

Many thoughts had gone through my mind at the time of my situation which were wreaking havoc on my life and health. I met with Mr. Santos and went through my situation with him with every detail possible. After sitting with him and having him actively listen to me I knew Mr. Santos was going to pull me out of my suffering. He was very thorough with information and very clear on the direction we were going on together till we came to a satisfactory end. He honestly would contact me just to see how I was feeling and to make sure I didn't have any questions lingering. Very trustworthy and honorable individual that I'm grateful I chose him to represent me.

Had the pleasure of having Eric dewalt as my attorney. I cannot stress enough how much he helped me through out my case. Eric dewalt was a court appointed lawyer for my case which made me a little nervous at first but he went above and beyond and advocated for me really well and was able to get my case dismissed. Whether it’s court appointed or you pay for his services you’ll definitely be in good hands and have peace of mind knowing you’ll have a dedicated lawyer who will fight for you. Thank you Dewalt firm you really are the Best!

I was arrested and detained for obstructing creditors from repossession of property. I was facing a felony and time in prison. Eric DeWalt was reviewing my documents and discovery from the prosecutor. Mr. DeWalt pointed out that the amount in controversy was inaccurate and insufficient for the charge. My case was subsequently dismissed. He took the time to explain to me what actually went down and I am so grateful for it.

To all who will listen, Mr. DeWalt was a God send. Our son found himself at his lowest most horrible place in life. Drugs had grabbed ahold of him and lead him down a path of destruction. After skirting the law a few time he finally done it. Our son was facing Life in prison. With nowhere to turn and nowhere to hide, we found Mr. DeWalt. Attorney DeWalt never sugar-coated a thing. He told us what we were facing and had a plan for our defense. He knew the law and he creatively worked the system. I would suggest to always hire an attorney that is local and knows the prosecutors office through and through. Mr. DeWalt was this attorney. With over 20 years of trial experience both with the District Attorney’s Office as well as having his own Criminal Defense practice, Mr. DeWalt is very qualified. After a long, drawn out defense with multiple hearings we were blessed with great news. Not only has our son gotten the treatment he needs for his addiction, Mr. DeWalt was able to keep our son out of prison from a lengthy sentence as well as save him from a conviction on this case. Hope is what we needed and Mr. DeWalt delivered. I highly recommend Eric A. DeWalt Attorney at Law when you or your loved one if facing the fight of their life. DeWalt listens, DeWalt cares, DeWalt fights.

I hired Michele Petty to help me with a custody battle. Michele is friendly, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable. She was willing to work outside of her office hours to save me from a situation where I could have easily lost my case. Without Michele my case would not have had a successful outcome. I’m so grateful for her willingness to work with me and create a successful outcome for me. She explained everything thoroughly and I felt informed, which is not something every lawyer offers. Thank you Michele!

Although we weren't able to find the finances to secure his services he was able to guide me to the necessary forms needed for my case. He is a wonderful person who cares about his clients and takes time to listen to what you want to accomplish in your case and makes sure to let you know he is behind you 100% and ready to fight for you. He was able to give me valuable information that no other attorney would and for that, I am forever grateful.

Attorney Robert Rush represented me as the victim of a vehicle accident. He made the necessary arrangements to make this process stress free and allowed me to focus on healing from my injuries. He relieved me of having to deal with the insurance company and he and his assistant (Elsa) kept me updated on my case throughout the entire process. I certainly recommend Mr. Rush and his team for their professionalism and due diligence.

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank Mr. Abel Dominguez and his team at The Law Office of Abel Dominguez for their exceptional help with my custody case involving my sons. Before working with Mr. Dominguez, I had a disappointing experience with a previous law firm that overcharged me significantly and failed to deliver the results I needed. However, when Mr. Dominguez took over my case. Everything changed for the better. From the very beginning, Mr. Dominguez was eager to help and quickly understood how important my children’s safety and well-being were to me. His kindness, understanding, and genuine desire to fight for my family gave me hope and confidence during a challenging time. When it came to court, Mr. Dominguez was incredibly methodical and well-prepared. Every time the opposing attorney tried to throw challenges his way, he was ready. His wisdom, professionalism, and ability to stay ahead were invaluable in resolving the case and ensuring my children’s safety. Not only did Mr. Dominguez delivered outstanding legal representation, but he also did so at a very reasonable price, especially compared to my previous experience. He worked with me and showed great compassion, making it clear that he truly cares about his clients and their families. I also want to commend Ms. B, his secretary, who is an incredible asset to the firm. She was always responsive, helpful, and attentive to every detail of my case. Her professionalism and dedication made the process much smoother, and I can’t thank her enough. Mr. Dominguez and his team went above and beyond for me and my sons, and I will always be grateful. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to handle your case with care, professionalism, and expertise, I highly recommend The Law Office of Abel Dominguez. Trust the process, follow their guidance, and know that they will fight for you just as they did for me. I also want to bless their business with this scripture: "May Yahuah (God is My Salvation) bless you and guard you; may Yahuah make His face shine upon you and show favor to you; may Yahuah lift up His face upon you and give you peace." (Numbers 6:24-26) Thank you again, Mr. Dominguez and Ms. B, for everything you’ve done for me and my family.

Looking for an eminent domain attorney? Great. I have strong opinions. I know you’re busy, and I’ll try to be as brief as possible. On the topic of saving time, just hire Spivey Valenciano to represent you right now. Tick it off your to-do list. Rest comfortably in the knowledge you have hired a thoughtful, professional, and well-respected team who will absolutely crush it in representing your best interests and be a trusted guide for you throughout your time together. If you’re ready to move forward with being represented by Spivey Valenciano, that’s beautiful. You’re welcome. If you need some more information before you inevitably book them, I’ll lay out some bullet points: Expert Knowledge of the Law: From federal and state eminent domain laws, the constitutional principles behind them, local regulations, and real estate / property law, I have yet to ask a question that they didn’t already know the answer to. And I’m confident in their ability to apply that knowledge toward either negotiation/settlement or litigation. Client-Focused Attention to Detail: I don’t think this gets enough attention. In a world where we’re all getting pulled in 20 different directions, I’ve never felt like I wasn’t a top priority. Candidly, I don’t know of a better firm when it comes to not only being knowledgeable and skilled attorneys, but also consistently dedicating the effort to achieving the best possible outcomes for their clients and defending their rights. Track Record of Success: You’ll be impressed by their testimonials and case studies that they are able to share – as well as their discretion in protecting the surely-vast volume of clients they’ve served and continue to represent. Perhaps you’re about to be one of them and that’s why you’re reading this now-admittedly-verbose review. Alright, well, I failed at this being short. Sorry. Soledad and Jim are that good. You won’t be disappointed you decided to move forward with them.

After an unfortunate auto accident, we reached out to Serna & Associates for assistance. Enrique and Norma were so quick and helpful throughout the process. They made sure to listen to us, and put our needs first. Unfortunately, we were involved in a second accident. Enrique and Norma were ready and willing to assist us. We have been extremely satisfied with the quality of service received by Serna and Associates. Throughout our duration with them they have ensured to treat us like family. We highly recommend Serna and Associates.

About a year ago I was in a serious 18 wheeler hit and run. I was scared and had no clue what to do. I had a friend refer me to Serna and Associates to help me try and find the drivers. Right from the jump they made me feel comfortable and not so overwhelmed. It can be alot for a person dealing with this for the first time and there team makes sure you not only understand but they are kind and passionate about what they do. I would highly recommend anyone that is in a serious car accident to reach out to Serna and associates because they will help you out and make the experience alot less tense and painful.

I knew I wanted to hire Katie the moment I met her. She wasn't taking cases in my jurisdiction but she made an exception for me after I convinced her to take my case. She felt compassion for me and I am eternally grateful that she represented me. Not only did I get everything I asked for, but she felt more like a friend than an attorney throughout one of the most trying times in my life. May God bless you and your family, Katie!

Mr. Gavin Mcinnis is an Excellent attorney, I have known many when I was a Deputy Sheriff for Bexar County and no one can compare with him in my book. A honest, respectable, caring and sincere human being. It is hard to find those qualities and traits in the attorney profession. He handled the case in a profession manner and most important of all-he listened and shared our loss and suffering. I would strongly recommend Mr. Mcinnis to others. Gavin was my sounding board and he cared enough to just sit and listen and at the same time make remarks which would have me laughing and smiling when I was down. Gavin made a connection with my whole family. He provided information and kept us aware of what that information meant. A wonderful person and excellent attorney. We were very satisfied with his service

I am still at the beginning of my case but everything is happening pretty fast. The case manager was able to meet with me the day after I called. We met for about 3 hours so that she could get every last detail of my case and explain to me exactly what they could do for me. The day after we met, she was already making attempts to contact the opposing party to let them know that action is being taken. For some people, this may not seem like much. But she has done more for me in the past few days than my previous attorney did for me in a couple of months. J. Robert Davis Jr. also took the time to meet with me when he was about to start a meeting with another client. I highly recommend working with this attorney.

Immediately after the accident I didn't think anything was wrong. Nothing hurt. It wasn't till after a few weeks that my neck began to ache. I thought of all the attorney names you see on TV and I called a few, but all turned me down. I thought there was no chance of getting any help, I had waited too long according to them. I figured I'd try one more before giving up. That's when I called J. Robert Davis. He personally told me "I can help you!" And I now call it a blessing, he got me what I needed to financially provide for my family when no one else would even try. Thank you Mr. Davis and your team for all you have done for me and my family! R. C. Ramos

Mr. Davis was hired by my Louisiana counsel to represent me in my personal injury case that was to be tried in Texas. Mr. Davis exhibited profound knowledge and ability in not only representing me but hiring competent experts to bolster our case. Setting next to Mr. Davis during mediation was so enjoyable that i was comfortable enough to play solitaire as he handled the negotiations. The same ability was displayed during the deposition phase as he and his ability exposed not only the weaknesses of the defendant but also the blatant and outrageous claims being bebunked one by one in a consistent and methodical approach. His staff was very courteous and polite and i enjoyed my interactions with them and a special thanks to Greta for keeping me in the loop and updated.

I reached out to Paula when I was in dire need of guidance and changes I needed to make to my child custody orders in order to move. My orders were with the Dallas court system so the job was not as easy, but she took on the challenge with open arms. She worked with them and myself to get orders served to my child's father in Dallas. We got a quick court date and she took the time to travel with me to Dallas to speak to the judge. She not only got me what i asked for, but she did even better. She got my children's entire geographical living restrictions lifted giving me and my family peace of mind for the next time we have to move. I am so grateful for her services and know that I will reach back out to her if I ever need to retain a lawyer again.

My Story started back in 2013. After a long, anxiety filled time, David, Frank and Michael finally put it to rest with an outcome that was definitely worth it. I am extremely happy and grateful for the work and time they put into my case. These guys aren't the run of the mill lawyers out there, they work their asses off to get the best result that is possible. I interviewed a few lawyers before volk and mcelroy and I am extremely glad that I went with my gut and hired them rather than any of the others I had interviewed. I received a great outcome due to David and Franks persistence throughout this matter. This is the firm I will continue to do business with in the future. If you have any doubts, go at least talk to them, you will not be disappointed! If you want a favorable outcome in your case, hire them!

When choosing the right lawyers to represent me only one group stood out as the correct choice and that was David Volk, Frank McElroy and Michael Volk. This was my 1st time needing lawyers and I didn't know exactly what to look for but they won me over from the start because I was really listened to and I never had the feeling of a client being sold on a product. Instead I felt like I was sharing my story with professionals who cared and believed me. I was in a tough situation since I was accused of a felony assault on a peace officer and the possible outcomes really scared me. David, Frank and Michael were realistic about the possibilities but were very confident about being able to help me based on my story. As a military veteran, a nurse and a father I had alot on the line and they never forgot about that and fought for my reputation and my career. I was always included in the process and advised whenever I had questions or doubts along the way. David, Frank and Michael knew that I wouldnt accept anything other than getting the case dropped or a not guilty verdict and they were right there with me and felt the same way. The case was not dropped and the case ended up going to trial. Although the whole process was new to me I was allowed to feel relaxed and confident because they talked me through every step and was reassured by their confident and professional demeanor as well as by their knowledge and experience. At the end of the trial I walked out of the courtroom more than satisfied after a not guilty verdict. Deliberation took about 30 minutes. It was very quick. They were that good. I hated being in the situation that I was in and I don't ever want to go through it again but Im glad I chose Volk and McElroy to represent me throught it all. They got me the outcome that I wanted and the one they said they would get me. I made the right choice and I would absolutely recommend others make the same choice.

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.

    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?

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.
