I unfortunately had a accident flying and Robert was very helpful through the process. I've never had to sue anyone before but Robert made the whole experience very easy for me. He was patient and explained the whole process to me, also gave me advice on what he thought was the best route to take but he ultimately left the decision in my hand. I really respected that and it made me trust him even more. He's very honest, and made me feel very comfortable, like we have been friends for a long time. With his advice that I'm glad I followed. The case never went to court and they decided to settle. I hope that I never have to ever sue anyone ever again but if I do I would not look anywhere else but here.
Thank you Robert.

I had been significantly harassed by two collection debt companies that I neither owed money, making the debt a mute point. In one case, they had the wrong name with wrong social sec. #. I contacted Mr. Malone and his legal parnter Mr. O Connor have been professional, helpful and successful.
The collection agencies went to my neighbors looking to see if I was the person they were looking for. Mr. O Connor put a stop to that quickly. This office restored my dignity and vindicated my just cause. They really care about their clients and show an incredible interest of personal concern, which is rare these days. Lord Bless all his staff.

Dean truly cares that he gives his best to his clients. This shows in the way that he communicates as well as how he handles his cases. When it comes to consumer law and especially handling debt collector harassment cases, there is no one better. I would highly recommend him.

I was injured in a fall. Tamer took the time to fully understand and research the circumstances in order to prosecute my case effectively. His compassion for me and my future, due to my injuries, was very much appreciated. He was always available for consultation, questions and explanation. He worked diligently to get my case settled. Hopefully, I'll never need another PI attorney but if I do, Tamer will be my only call.

In 2017 I hired Mr. Chavez' as my attorney because I was wrongfully terminated. From the beginning everyone including himself were very friendly and kept me updated at all times. It was a tough case but he did it! He exceeded my expectations and I am glad I chose him to represent me. I put my trust in him and he delivered. If I ever need legal representation again I will definitely hire him. If anyone is looking for legal help I highly recommend his services. You won't regret it!

Long story short, I moved to El Paso from Odessa for work. I do this frequently considering my line of work. Anyway, I had been in Odessa since late July when I got the word I was moving to El Paso in late October. I had been renting a house in Odessa and stayed there without incident from July till Octboer. I moved to EL Paso and stayed at a hotel for two days prior to moving into an apartment in El Paso. A few days into my stay at this new apartment, I discovered this apartment had bed bugs. The management of this apartment complex insisted that there were no bed bugs in the apartment prior to my moving in. My body was covered in bite marks from my ankles to the middle of my neck. The management of this complex said I would have to leave in order for them to get a pest control unit in there to take care of the problem. The apartment complex said they would not pay for my temporary hotel stay which i thought was unfair. Anyway, after the apartment had been 'cleaned' by the pest control, i returned and was still being bitten every night. Again, for a second time, I had to wash and remove all of my personal belongings to do another pest control session. Again, I had to pay for another few days at a hotel for this pest control session. The management at this complex just kept saying the same thing; "Oh, we are so sorry for this", "Im sure things will be fine soon", all the while still maintaining they were not going to pay for my hotel stays. Their management was a joke. Every time I called or went into the office, they were constantly giving me the same BS lines. The manager never seemed to be in the office and anyone I ever talked to had no idea what was going on. I had had enough. I called Enrique Chavez Jr. Law Firm. I had a consultation and told them my story and they agreed to take my case. They reviewed my lease and instantly found inaccuracies. Lawyers at the firm drafted a letter and delivered it to Independence Place Apts and in less than two weeks, I had a settlement. The only thing about this situation that was quick and painless was dealing with the Chavez Law Firm. From the start, they were fantastic with keeping me updated on any developments pertaining to my case. I called many times, with many questions/concerns and they always took my calls and answered my emails promptly and with answers for my questions. I was just amazed that all it took was one letter from the Law Firm to achieve what I couldn't achieve myself in weeks of trying. I can't thank them enough for helping me when I felt like i had nowhere to turn. They were thorough, professional, and most importantly, got results. I would definitely recommend the Chavez Law Firm to anyone I knew in need of legal advice or representation. A special 'shout-out' to Heather for ALWAYS making herself available when i needed her to answer my questions and keeping me abreast of all developments.

Mr. Horany has represented me in my first car accident case in a very professional way. He explained exactly step by step what would happen in my case.

I would highly recommend Mr. Horany to any friends or family. His competence and knowledge was exceptional. Thank you Mr. Horany!

As an attorney, myself, I can say that there are very few layers out there who are more well qualified.
He is Board Certified in Personal Injury Jury Trial Law. Furthermore, he holds an AV Rating from Martindale-Hubbel.
Don did an excellent job representing me.
As soon as I had hired Don, I felt a great sense of relief knowing that my case was in able hands.
Don did a phenomenal job of controlling my expectations and then far exceeding my expectations in terms of results!
These are the reason Don has a perfect 10.0 rating with AVVO.
He is a " Lawyers-Lawyer" in every senses of that expression.

I am very pleased with the performance and the good job that David Matthew Haynie has done for me. He is not only a very professional lawyer but he is also a great human being, he is full of compassion and cares a lot for his clients. In my case he is always so patient with me that English is not my first language, he listens to me and tries to understand me. He put all his effort to explain to me everything I need to know about my case. In my opinion, Matthew goes beyond his work to help his clients, he always make himself available and he returns back my emails and phone calls, even after hours. I sincerely appreciate David Matthew Haynie's work, knowledge and professionalism. I would recommend him to any body with my eyes close.

I am a public school teacher who pays monthly for a legal plan. None were able to help me. Mr. Smith took my case on a Monday, knowing we had to be in court in 7 days. He went above and beyond. He worked diligently, willing to meet on saturdays and was open for conversation should questions arise. He was honest, formidable and straight to the point, yet compassionate. He supports and follows the laws and constitution that bind us. he has a remarkable command of the judicial system. My trial was today and it was dismissed. This is due to the diligence, overtime and personal commitment this man provided. If in need of an attorney, please call Mr. Smith! He will work hard for you! Just be honest and he he will do well above your expections.

I contacted Dan over issues we were having with another attorney in handling our case. Dan went far out of his way to help us. He researched information about the defendants that our lawyer had not even done. He gave us sound advice and offered to take over the case even though he did not usually come in on the middle of a case. I wish I had contacted him first. I will definitely come to him if there are further problems and would recommend him highly. Thank you Dan and may God bless you.

“I want to thank Misty Borland Phiffer, Kelli Day and entire staff for helping me thru difficulty times after my accident. When I needed someone to talk to Misty or Kelli was always there. I have tried to explain how much I appreciated there kindness, their wisdom, and highly professional staff but I feel that I become articulately misspoken.
They never gave up on my case even when sometimes I did. At times I feel a little sadden, because I will truly miss them and their heartfelt kindness.
Borland and Borland gives that small town family comfort with the big city drive and fight. I HIGHLY recommend Borland and Borland Law Firm, they are truly dedicated to there clients.”

Hi everyone, appreciate your help with this. I had 3 Amex cards that were all used for business across 2 businesses. Two payments on one of those cards (related to a business that was struggling) was missed in the summer of 2019 which resulted in all 3 cards being cancelled by Amex (the other 2 cards, related to the same business had no perfect payment history). That card which was opened in 2016 eventually went into collections and charged off. Which brought down my credit score to 450, I also had delinquent accounts, deeds in lieu of foreclosure. Following the advice found on this site about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST how they’ve been helping people to get a good credit score I contacted them immediately and explained my dilemma to them which he promised to fix the situation. I sent the necessary information which was needed to get my job done. Within 3 days all negative items have been deleted and my credit score has been raised to TU 801, EQ 809, EXP 811. This was what so many scammers who claimed to be hackers couldn’t do. I’m happy to have read about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. You can contact them via:

Mr. Barrera, Jr. was my attorney in a DTPA /Product Liability case that involved 4 international corporations. He was a wonderful Plaintiff's Attorney! He kept me up to date on all petitions and motions filed by the defendants and all that were filed on my behalf. He was very quick to answer all my phone calls and was very conscientious to use language I would understand when explaining the legal jargon being used in the motions and pleadings etc..... He allowed me to be present during several depositions and accepted any input from me very respectfully. He totally engrossed himself in learning the way my company used the products involved in my lawsuit and thereby thoroughly understood the economic impact the defendants products had on my company. I feel confident that Rick could handle any case he was in involved in with the upmost professionalism. I highly recommend him.

I was involved in a very serious accident where I broke several bones. A family friend recommended that I call Mr. Dilley. Immediately from our first visit I felt that I was in good hands and that he truly cared. My worry of paying my medical bills was quickly alleviated as everything was clearly explained and taken care of by his extraordinary team that kept me informed until my case was settled for a substantial amount. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone involved in an accident.

Scott Callahan represented my daughter in a personal injury action against the driver who hit her car and the relevant insurance companies. Scott and his legal assistant did a good job of keeping the client informed, explaining the law in layman terms, prepping my daughter for depositions, and handling the case in general. Overall, the firm was very pleasant to work with and we are very pleased with the settlements Scott negotiated with the insurance companies and his efforts to control litigation costs to maximize the recovery for his client. The case took 3 years to settle but I believe the insurance companies caused the delay in hopes that my daughter would settle for less. I would highly recommend Scott Callahan for your personal injury legal needs.

I was wrongfully accused of speeding and given a ticket...I was REALLY innocent!! Anyway, a lawyer friend suggested Andrew and I hired him to fight for me; he did!! My case went to trial the first time, and there was actually a hung jury. Andrew assured me that he could win for me, and when we went back to court the second time....he did!!!! Andrew was concerned about the details of my case and saw it through until the end. Thank you....

I received a speeding ticket after a City of Houston police office misread my speed using an unapproved method of speed detection. Andrew took my case, and immediately went to work trying to convince an aggressive volunteer prosecutor was my ticketing officer was in the wrong. When she refused, Andrew took us to trial, and prosecutor did not get her win that day. When she attempted to waste taxpayer money by taking an unwinnable case to trial for a second time, Andrew worked hard to let her boss know the circumstances, and my ticket was immediately dismissed.
Andrew was extremely knowledgeable, zealous, and very competitively priced. But most importantly to me, and important to any person who becomes a criminal defendant, Andrews was in constant communication with me. He went out of his way to explain the intricacies of my case to me, let me know at which stage of trial my case was, and would immediately follow up with me any time he had new information from the prosecutor's office.
Andrew took a very confusing and unsettling situation, and made it understandable, was a friend through the entire process, and at the end of the day, got us the win.

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.
