Texas Personal Injury FAQs
-
For starters, our initial consults with potential clients are 100% FREE. We will answer whatever questions you have about the legal process, your injuries, claims, and potential financial compensation for your injures.
Before we meet with you, we will send you a questionnaire so that we can learn about the issues you want us to address during the consult. We then research all potentially relevant docket/court information involving your case so that we can advise you on any potential legal deadlines that may be upcoming. We also advise you about the legal process you can expect based on your issues.
The goal with every consult is to make sure that at the very least, you leave our office more informed than before you met with us. If at the end of the consult you feel that our firm is a good fit for you, we will then explain the intake process and what to expect going forward.

Yes. We believe that one of the first things you should ask any lawyer that you are considering hiring is are you a trial lawyer, how many cases have you tried, and when was the last time you tried a case. Unlike the vast majority of Texas lawyers who have either never tried a case or are afraid to do so, The Law Office of Alton James III is a trial focused law firm. We do not believe that every case needs to be tried or even should be tried. However, if a case needs to be tried, we are not afraid to fight for our clients at a trial to get them the compensation they deserve.
Frankly, the vast majority of Texas cases do not go to trial (95% approximately), but when an insurance is company is jerking you around and refusing to fairly compensate you for an injury someone else caused, you need someone who will fight for you.
Our trial lawyers have earned a reputation for vigorous advocates, and our clients seek us out because of that reputation. We also routinely get referrals of clients from other lawyers because of our trial focused reputation.
Contact the Law Office of Alton James III today and learn how we can fight for you.
