Fourteen questions, answered the way we answer clients.

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee: one third if your case resolves before suit is filed, forty percent after. The full arithmetic, including expenses and medical liens, is published on our What a Case Is Worth page and disclosed in plain language before you sign.

Nothing. No attorney's fee, and you do not repay the case expenses we advanced. That is not fine print, it is the engagement agreement, and it is why we are selective about the cases we take: we carry the risk with you.

Anyone who quotes a number in the first phone call is guessing. Value is built from provable damages, liability, and available coverage, and we published an honest page about exactly that, including the closing-statement arithmetic. What we will do in the first call is tell you whether the case is worth pursuing at all, and we will mean it.

Not before you know what the case is worth. Early offers are made before your injuries are fully diagnosed, and cashing the check usually signs a release that ends the claim forever. Have a lawyer read the release first. That review is part of the free consultation, and sometimes the honest answer is yes, take it. We will tell you either way.

Straightforward auto cases can resolve in three to nine months. Trucking, malpractice, and wrongful death cases often run twelve to twenty-four months, longer if trial is required. We will not settle your case early just because the carrier offers a fast number, and we will not park it either. You will know what phase your case is in at all times.

Probably not: most of our cases settle. But the reason they settle well is that the carrier believes we will pick a jury, because we do. If trial is the right answer for your case, we prepare you for every step of it, and you will never be surprised in a courtroom.

Go to your medical appointments, save every bill and receipt, stay off social media about the wreck, and send the adjusters to us. We handle everything else, and we return calls the same business day, because the most common complaint about law firms is silence and we refuse to earn it.

Yes. You have the right to replace your attorney at any time. The original firm may have a lien for work done, which is paid out of the recovery and does not increase your total fee. We have taken cases mid-stream and improved them.

There is no flat answer until we hear the facts. The case-evaluation call is free. If we believe a recovery is realistic, we say so. If we do not, we tell you that as well, and we will often refer you to a firm better suited to your situation.

Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you were fifty percent or less at fault, you can still recover, reduced by your percentage. Do not assume you have no case because the other side is blaming you. Adjusters do that on every claim.

Your own policy may include uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Most Texas drivers have it and do not realize it. We pull every available policy, including stacked household coverage, employer policies, and umbrellas, and pursue all of them when fault and damages support it.

First, we are sorry. Texas law gives the surviving spouse, children, and parents a wrongful death claim, and the estate a survival claim, and the two work differently. There are deadlines, but there is no rush this week. When you are ready, one conversation with us will map all of it, quietly and without obligation.

Sí. The intake desk answers in Spanish twenty-four hours a day, and senior trial partner Elena Vasquez tries cases in Spanish personally. Your case does not get translated at this firm. It gets represented. La consulta es gratis.

You do not need to be a citizen, or documented, to recover for an injury in Texas, and Texas courts have held that immigration status is generally not admissible in a personal injury case. Carriers know injured immigrants are afraid to pursue claims, and they price that fear into their offers. Do not let them. Everything you tell us is confidential.
