Services
Personal Injury
Our personal injury practice helps clients recover compensation for accidents caused by others' negligence. We handle car crashes, workplace injuries, and defective products with a client-focused approach. With a 25% contingency fee (lower than industry average), we ensure accessibility while aggressively negotiating with insurance companies. Our proven track record includes recovering damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Criminal Defense
We defend clients facing criminal charges in Texas and New Mexico courts. Our services cover DUI/DWI, drug offenses, and violent crimes with a focus on case dismissal or reduction. Offering payment plans and 24/7 availability, we protect clients' rights from arrest through trial. Our attorney's experience includes handling complex federal cases and securing favorable plea bargains when necessary.
Wrongful Death
This specialized practice helps families seek justice for loved ones lost to negligence. We handle fatal car accidents, workplace incidents, and medical malpractice cases. Our contingency-based representation ensures no upfront costs while pursuing compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional distress. We navigate Texas' strict filing deadlines and complex probate requirements to protect families' rights.
Car Accidents
Our car accident specialists handle claims involving distracted drivers, defective parts, and commercial vehicles. We coordinate with accident reconstruction experts to establish liability while managing communication with insurance companies. Services include calculating total damages (medical bills, vehicle repair, lost wages) and pursuing litigation when settlements prove inadequate, operating exclusively on a contingency fee basis.
DUI/DWI Defense
We defend clients charged with DUI/DWI offenses across Texas, including repeat offenses and aggravated cases. Our strategies challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer accuracy, and procedural violations during traffic stops. We negotiate for reduced charges, license retention options, and alternative sentencing while preparing for trial when necessary. Services include representation at administrative license revocation hearings and IID requirement challenges.
