As a plant manager, I've seen my share of accidents and injuries. But when one of my employees suffered a severe burn in a refinery explosion, I knew we needed expert legal representation. That's why we called upon this law firm. Lamar DeLong and his team were outstanding. They thoroughly investigated the incident, gathered evidence, and negotiated a significant settlement for our employee. Their professionalism and expertise were impressive!

After being injured in a truck accident, I was confused and had no idea where to turn. I was referred to Zehl & Associates by a friend, and I’m so glad I reached out to them. Justin Warner took on my case and was incredibly attentive from start to finish. He made sure I was informed at every step and fought hard to get me the compensation I deserved. They secured a substantial settlement, and I’m forever grateful for their dedication and expertise. I won’t have to work for years to come and can focus on the wellbeing of my family. If you need a personal injury lawyer in Houston, look no further than Zehl & Associates.

I'm ONLY Given 2 Stars AND That Second Star is Because THEY Immediately Responded, ANYWAYS My Mother Was in Kindred Rehab Facility Located in The Medical Center AND All of A Sudden Died, The Nurses Admitted That THEY Gave her Something to Calm Her Down AND Whatever THEY Gave her She Didn't Come out of it, I Contacted THESE PEOPLE Right here Because THEY Said THEY Deals With Wrongful Death, WELL That Can't Be True Because I Was Told THAT The Attorney Refuse to Take My Case.. I Was Like Ok Whatever, If You Will NOT Take Wrongful Death Cases THEN Don't Advertise That You do...

John Strohmeyer is a superb estate planning attorney. He's extremely well informed, has a first-rate staff of associate attorneys and paralegals, and fulfills his firm's motto, "No Unfinished Business" with real commitment. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better estate planning attorney. John is a first-rate attorney. Oh, I almost forgot, he has a GREAT sense of humor.

John did an initial consultation with us about the tax implications in the handling of an estate. We were referred to him by a mutual friend. John has clear expertise in the area of estate planning and executing wills. It was easy to set the appointment and he clearly outlined our options and what he can do in his role. I would recommend him to those who are doing their own estate planning or who are executors needing assistance.

I was referred to Buckley Patterson after my car accident by our insurance adjuster. I was hesitant at first about getting an attorney because of my tendency to "lean away" from confrontation. John was very warm and able to empathize with me while at the same time helping me feel safe to look at the bigger picture. John is very relatable, has outstanding knowledgeable about procedure, and most notably, he checked in with me regularly about the case and made sure I was prepared before each proceeding. He maintains a strong personal work ethic.
I would feel great recommending them to all my friends and family in the future.

I was referred to Buckley Patterson by someone that works with them while at my barber. I decided to give them a try after I couldn't get a hold of the insurance company myself... best decision I could have ever made. John and Phillip made this process so smooth and easy for me. They explained the whole process every step of the way and were constantly in contact. I never had to deal with anyone else just directly with them. If you are looking for an injury attorney I highly recommend them. Just jump on a call with John and once you see how well he explains everything you'll feel as comfortable as I did having them represent you.

Having chosen Buckley Patterson to represent my case has to had been one of the best decisions I could’ve made. Very professional, very informative and very patient with all of my questions I’ve had throughout. For someone new to this experience, like myself, Buckley Patterson are the Go To’s as they explain every detail, know every step on what’s to come and for the peace-of-mind knowing I could trust them to take care of everything! Highly highly recommend to friends and family and to everyone else for the best experience!

Wes & Anne are truly a blessing! 5 stars isn’t enough to describe this team! After having had switch lawyers due to my ex attorney sitting on my case for nearly 7 months doing absolutely nothing,I was at a standstill with a bad taste left over. Had a close friend recommend Wes,reached out to him that night & received a phone call at 8am that morning. When I say this guy is on it,I mean he is literally ON IT! After our first conversation,I instantly knew that Wes was an honest man…very,very hard to find in this industry! From the minute Wes & Anne took over,I felt WAY more relaxed & confident that they had my stuff all under control. With my ex attorney,I was constantly on edge,stressed,nervous…you name it. After having switched,my family quickly caught drift on my stress levels going down,as well as me being able to rest more due to worrying less all thanks to Wes & Anne working efficiently & effectively! These two are the most humble, hard working people I’ve had the pleasure of crossing paths with! Communication was NEVER an issue,the updates were constant,even when they were on their personal time! Wes talks to you like a friend,making it easy to tell him anything & everything without any judgment!
This duo has your back & will fight for you WITHOUT A DOUBT!

Joe Schreiber and his firm took on my case when a moving company committed fraud by changing the contract during the move and holding my property. Joe was responsive and got us a good result – he sued the company and got our money back quickly. It was a small case but helped me and my family a lot. Joe is an awesome attorney and I am very appreciative of the work in put for my family. If you ever need an attorney to get the job done do not hesitate to contact Joe and his firm.

Joe is an amazing lawyer. After my car accident, I felt like everything was falling apart, but he made me feel secure and confident that everything would be okay. In the end, the outcome was amazing and entirely in our favor. Jo is also very thorough and takes the time to explain everything in depth, so you understand all the possible scenarios. I would absolutely recommend him 10/10.

Deborah is the MOST amazing attorney. She truly cares about her clients and will fight for you every stretch of the way. All you have to do is listen to her, do what she asks and you're going to win your case and get what you want. She's gotten the nickname the "Pitbull in pearls" for a reason. I'm so grateful to know her and for all her help in settling my divorce. Thanks Deborah!

I used Daniel Horowitz when I was hurt on a job. I was alot of times in alot of pain and he always was compassionate and caring person. He did not make me feel like any of my questions were too dumb. He always answered them and explain everything to me. It was a very pleasant experience under the circumstances because he and staff made it this way. He is aggressive and gets his point across. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. I will definitely use him again if needed. Thank you!!

Joe was great, from 1st contact he was very thorough in his explanations. Joe made the process simple to understand and consistently made us feel reassured and taken care of. Both him and Rosy were readily avaiable to answer our questions at any time and I know they worked very hard to get us what we deserved, despite the insurance's attempts to short change us. We are truly greatful for their hard work, communication and commitment to taking care of us. Praying we won't be in this situation again but glad to know that if we ever are we can count on Joe and his team.

My experience with the Littletons was great. I was involved in an accident that seem the likelihood of a resolution that was in my favor was slim to none. The accident was not my doing, but I was sure this was going to cost me thousands in damages. However, not only were they able to pull me out of a tough situation. They even helped me get compensated for my troubles. Definitely recommending and would come back for any future cases.

I never imagined that I would be a victim of a car wreck with my children in the car, but unfortunately it happened. The Feathercraft location made the process less nerve wrecking and took the weight off my shoulders. Girraud Stephens and Nasim were very informative and thorough. I felt at ease and very satisfied with my compensation. I pray I never experience another wreck, but I know who to call if I do. They are absolutely amazing!!

The attorneys and legal professionals at the office were very pleasant to work with. They always returned my calls in a timely manner. If there was something that I asked them and they didn't know the answer, they found out quickly and assured me of the legal process. Ms. Bianca kept me updated on my case every step of the way. This attorney fought to get me the maximum on my claim and for that I am so grateful.

My brother was involved in a bad car accident driving a company car. It was the other driver's fault but as medical bills kept piling up, his insurance would not pay since it was not his fault and the other insurance was slow to respond. I recommended Attorney Javier Marcos and he came in and took care of everything. From working with my brother on his continuing medical care to getting compensation from the insurance company and others, he worked tirelessly to make things right. I highly recommend Attorney Javier Marcos.

Everyone was so helpful in trying to get my case resolved as soon as possible. Because of COVID, things moved slower than usual and I think the office could’ve done a better job of initially communicating that was the reason things were taking so long. As far as getting me to treatment after my accident, it was almost immediately and the people I worked with were great. Overall, I recommend coming here if you ever get into an accident. The firm will absolutely take care of you!

Serena Hudson is bar none the best and the brightest. This is one of many reasons why I have gone back to her multiple times for council, strategic approach and case handling regardless of which law firm she resides. Serena always goes above and beyond to map out the best solution forward, relentlessly pursuing what is best for me and not just looking to get paid. Often times these situations are difficult to navigate, and they have been. With Serena's knowledge, experience and grit I am beyond thrilled at the outcome of my cases. All my questions are answered and concerns are alleviated. Her creativity and knowledge allowed for me to see and achieve outcomes that I was not even aware were possible. I would recommend Serena to anyone who is looking to get clarity and be in the best position for success. Take this from me, if you are looking for light in the darkness you want Serena in your corner.

I hired Mr. Elwell after getting arrested on DWI. I was referred to him by a trusted friend who is experienced in DWI cases. I proceeded to have him handle my DWI case, as well as my ALR case. After the ALF hearing, I received notification that I had won the case and my license DID NOT get suspended after hearing from multiple people that those cases are almost impossible to win. As for the DWI charge, Mr. Elwell also got the charge dismissed. His office was always timely in keeping me informed about the case. They were very professional and reliable. I would definitely recommend Mr. Elwell to anyone who is going through a DWI case. I will be using his offices to get the charge expunged also.

I chose Matthew Elwell to represent me in a DUI / DWI case and it was the best selection/decision that I could have made. I found out about Matt through Internet search and reached out to him and his office. Upon meeting with Matt I immediately knew that he was the right lawyer/attorney to represent me and give me the best opportunity to win my case. Matt is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable.
Matt was able to get my case dismissed before a trial date could be set after a brief discussion with the DA. His actions saved my job, career and future.
I was very blessed to find and hire Matt as my attorney. I definitely owe him more than just the fee he charged. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great attorney who can get the job done.

This firm is a powerhouse! The talent here doesn't only include the attorney's, but also the paralegals, legal assistants, and even the office staff. This is an eclectic group of well experienced professionals that will know how to represent you at trial, if your case goes that far. There isn't an angle they won't think about to get you the results you are looking for.
I had the pleasure of being represented by Walter Schouten. Ironically, he was referred to me by an attorney that I consulted with. I was told to call Walter because he is very knowledgeable and he's an outstanding trial lawyer. Walter took on my case and he was assisted by an amazing paralegal in Vanessa Enciso. This dynamic duo believed that they could help my situation in securing me a new trial for a custody case. They went to work immediately. This was 2 weeks after I lost at trial while being represented by a different firm.
Long story long...Walter was able to get me a new trial, and he was able to get the judge to change her previous ruling. I am now the custodial parent of my 7 year old son.
I have to admit that even if I wasn't awarded custodial rights, I was more than satisfied with the representation and would have been able to live with the ruling a lot easier. Knowing that I was being properly represented was huge for me. Especially since the previous firm I hired for this case was absolutely terrible.
Thank you Walter, Vanessa, and Team Toombs Imel for everything. Y'all have raised the bar to the clouds for other firms. Thank you for the open communication, trustworthiness, and good vibes.

I have hired Mr. Garcia for two criminal cases over the past 5 five years. He was able to get BOTH cases dismissed each time. He knows his way around the Courthouse and was very professional with the Judges and District Attorneys. He also worked with me on payment when another criminal attorney I had hired would not and he still got my cases dimissed. I would recommend Mr. Garcia if you need a great criminal attorney. He has also helped me recently on a civil matter I have pending in Hildago County since I have moved.

He checked on me and my children and made me feel very comfortable. He is the only person I will contact if I'm ever in trouble again. I really appreciate his great service

I suffer from several, chronic health conditions, as a result of negligence. I was led to Mr. Fostel's law firm by the grace of God. Throughout the entirety of my case, Mr. Fostel was honest, thorough, compassionate, and patient with me. He kept me informed, so that I always knew what to expect ahead of time. He has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the law. During the time that Mr. Fostel was working on my personal injury case, he always made himself available to answer any questions and/or concerns that I had. I believe wholeheartedly, that choosing Mr. Fostel to represent me, is the reason that I had such a positive outcome.

What a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Do for You
A wrongful death lawyer specializes in representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.
If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:
- Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
- Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
- Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
- Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
- Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
- Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.
Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.
What Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Do?
A wrongful death lawyer provides a wide range of services to help families navigate the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the death: Conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, gathering evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
- Establishing liability: Identifying who is legally responsible for your loved one’s death, whether it’s an individual, company, or government entity, and building a case showing how their negligence or wrongful actions caused the death.
- Calculating damages: Helping you determine the full extent of your financial and emotional losses, including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
- Filing a wrongful death claim: Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit within the statute of limitations in your state.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal team to negotiate a fair settlement for your losses.
- Representing you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Handling legal deadlines: Ensuring that all legal filings are completed within the deadlines set by your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases.
How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
- Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.
It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
- Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.
Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Death Lawyer
Before hiring a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and resources to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with wrongful death cases?
Ensure the lawyer has successfully handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s medical malpractice, car accidents, or workplace deaths. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the lawyer’s contingency fee percentage and any additional costs, such as case expenses, that you may be responsible for. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges that could affect the outcome. -
How long will the process take?
Wrongful death cases can take time to resolve, so ask how long the lawyer expects the process to last, from filing the claim to reaching a settlement or going to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
What types of damages can I recover?
Ask the lawyer to explain the types of compensation you may be entitled to, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Death Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable wrongful death lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for wrongful death experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in wrongful death cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on wrongful death cases.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or local bar associations can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to wrongful death and personal injury law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Death certificate: Bring a copy of your loved one’s death certificate, as this is a key document in wrongful death cases.
- Medical records: If applicable, bring your loved one’s medical records, autopsy reports, or any documentation of their medical care leading up to their death.
- Accident or incident reports: If the wrongful death resulted from an accident, bring any police reports, accident reports, or workplace incident reports.
- Financial records: Provide documentation of your loved one’s income, benefits, and financial contributions to the family to help calculate economic damages.
- Correspondence: Bring any communication you’ve had with the responsible party, their insurance company, or legal representatives.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions for the lawyer about the legal process, potential outcomes, and fees.
- Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the events leading up to and following your loved one’s death.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice.
