Client Voices
What clients say when it's over
“After my wreck on the Gulf Freeway, the insurer offered me $9,000 and called it generous. Elena took over, and the difference in outcome paid off my medical bills with room to spare. She called me back the same day, every time.”
Danielle R.
Car accident client
“Marcus kept my divorce out of court and kept me sane. He told me early what was worth fighting for and what wasn't, and he was right on both counts. My kids never became bargaining chips.”
James T.
Family law client
“I was hurt on a job site and terrified about missing paychecks. The firm fronted every cost, handled every call, and settled my claim in seven months. I never felt like case number 400.”

Before you call, you may wonder…
Personal injury cases are handled on contingency: you pay nothing up front and no fee at all unless we recover money for you. Family law matters are billed hourly with a clear engagement letter, and many uncontested matters qualify for a flat fee quoted before we begin.
Most Texas personal injury claims carry a two-year limitations period from the date of injury, but exceptions run in both directions — some deadlines are shorter, especially when a government entity is involved. The safest move is to have your timeline reviewed early, while evidence and witnesses are still available.
Most matters resolve by settlement or mediation, and we never push a client toward a courtroom for its own sake. That said, insurers track which firms actually try cases — and preparing every file as if it will be tried is precisely what produces strong settlement offers. If trial serves you best, we are ready.
Yes — and when the two overlap (an injury settlement during a divorce is community-property territory) having both matters under one roof avoids costly missteps. Elena and Marcus coordinate directly so nothing falls between the two files.
One conversation can change the next five years.
The review is free, the advice is honest, and the decision to move forward is entirely yours.
