introduction
QUESTIONNAIRE
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.
How did you build a successful practice?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.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?A lawyer who is knowledgeable in the area they are searching for and the client must feel confident in the representation.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?It is a factor, but the overriding factor should be knowledge of the practice area.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?We can evaluate the case and determine if we can help the potential clients and let them know or give them alternatives.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?Name, telephone number, email, and locality of where the claimant lives.
Are you involved in your community?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.
