Richard Pena | Austin Personal Injury Lawyer

My Office makes a difference in our clients lives daily. We represent mainly individuals who are injured, at work and otherwise. In our Workers' Compensation cases, normally the insurance company is denying either their medical treatment or weekly checks. This causes high stress for the clients and we are here to get them what they are entitled to.

We build our practice one client at a time. Our office has been helping clients in need for over 40 years. Most of our referrals come from other lawyers or former clients. As I am a past President of the State Bar of Texas as well as the Austin Bar Association, my reputation has fueled our practice. I, and my firm, are also rated AV by the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory indication a "very High to Preeminent" reputation for legal ability.

A lawyer who is knowledgeable in the area they are searching for and the client must feel confident in the representation.

It is a factor, but the overriding factor should be knowledge of the practice area.

We can evaluate the case and determine if we can help the potential clients and let them know or give them alternatives.

Name, telephone number, email, and locality of where the claimant lives.

Yes. I have been the Chair of the City of Austin's Homeless Task Force and on the Board of Directors of the Center for Battered Women.
