Greg Baumgartner | Houston Personal Injury Lawyer

Top rated Houston personal injury lawyer, with over 30 years experience in helping Texas families secure their financial future after serious injury or wrongful death accident. We intentionally limit the number of cases we accept to be provide the highest level of service to our clients. The practice is limited to serious personal injury and wrongful death claims in the state of Texas. Our law firm has developed a reputation for success in handling 18-wheeler and large truck accident cases and a good percentage of our practices dedicated to that niche. We take great pride in the fact that defense lawyers send their family and friends to us when a serious injury or truck accident is involved. We always put our clients interests above everything else and by limiting the number of cases we accept we are able to devote the resources necessary to maximize compensation for our clients. The law firm proudly honors referral arrangements with other attorneys under the rules promulgated by the State Bar of Texas. Please contact us for more information regarding our referral policies.

Please describe a case(s) in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
Recent cases where we made a big difference. We were able to close down a daycare center that was not adhering to safe practices for children. And have been able to close numerous daycare centers over the years – hopefully making the market safer for children. Another recent case involved a dangerous product that we required the manufacturer to change the design to a much safer product. We have been responsible for design changes to several important products. Undoubtedly we will have saved lives because of forcing these product changes.

How did you build a successful practice?
We have built our practice over the years by always putting our clients first. This has led to repeat business and referrals of friends and family as well as defense attorneys which has contributed greatly to our success.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Clients should be seeking an attorney who has experience in the type of case they have. Also looking for an attorney that is highly rated from a credible peer-reviewed organization. Many review organizations have a financial incentive to approve people that pay them money, (they sell websites to the firms), and those rating agencies should be avoided. Avoid attorneys who have a huge advertising budget as they tend to be more volume oriented and less consumer friendly. Also watch out for a law firm that will hand off your case either to an associate or a less capable attorney. Be very wary of any attorney who contacts you personally or through another person. Google your short list to look for valid reviews.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
Local knowledge is extremely important particularly with respect to the judge and local rules. Accident victims especially should be looking for an experienced attorney in the area where the accident occurred.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
For free telephone consultations we offer basic advice and options available to a personal injury victim. We only provide free telephone consultations in the case types that we accept.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
Required information in a free telephone consultation include a description of the accident, the date of the accident, injuries that occurred and information to let us know about you.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
In short- results. We have served the greater Houston area for the last three decades with the mission of maximizing compensation for our clients. Our track record is unparalleled and speaks for itself.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
The most rewarding for us is making a real difference in someone’s life after a very serious accident.

What are your other interests in addition to law?
Giving back to our community through various scholarships, contributions and other charity work. Probably the most important to me, is mentoring young men who do not have a active father figure in their life.
