Questions
Frequently asked
What does it cost to hire you?
Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee. You pay no attorney's fee unless we recover money for you, and the percentage is set out in a written agreement before any work begins.
The insurance adjuster already called me. What should I say?
Give basic contact information and nothing more. Don't agree to a recorded statement or sign medical authorizations for the other driver's insurer until you've spoken with a lawyer.
Do you only do car crash injuries?
No, we can help with injuries caused while on the premises of a business and select contract disputes. Connect with us and let's figure it out. If we can't help, we will try to refer you to another lawyer who can!
Do you only take cases in Austin?
No. We're based in Austin and represent people hurt throughout Texas.
