I. How we can show you, at no cost, that we're the lawyers for you.

Click on any of the topics below to learn more about the seminars we can provide to you at no cost.

1. "What should you do in the event of a catastrophic accident?"

This seminar gives carriers a recommended plan of action to follow in the event of a catastrophic accident. Such recommended action includes what procedures to implement BEFORE a loss occurs, what action to take before a lawsuit is ever filed, and how taking such action ultimately saves money.

2. "What are the best ways to avoid bad faith in Texas?"

This seminar highlights a number of provisions of the DTPA. In addition, the presenters stress how a thorough investigation of a claim can assist a claims professional in a Stowers or Soriano situation.

3. "What you need to know before taking a witness' statement in Texas."

This seminar suggests when to take a witness' statement as well as when NOT to. In addition, it provides recommendations to adjusters as to how to nail down a claimant, while at the same time getting the most information he or she can from the statement.

II. Still not sure? Take the 5 Question test below to find out if we are the lawyers for you.

  1. We view discovery as a way:
    1. To drown the opposition in answering Requests for Admissions, Requests for Production and Interrogatories
    2. To bill easy hours by churning out pointless Interrogatories, Request for Disclosures, and Request for Admissions
    3. To use the various discovery tools to strategically uncover the facts we need to establish our defense
  2. In our trucking defense cases, the most critical figure for the defense is:
    1. The truck driver
    2. The insurance adjuster
    3. The police officer
    4. The lawyer
  3. Client communication to us means:
    1. Telling a client what they want to hear
    2. Fulfilling the insurance reporting guidelines
    3. That the only time an adjuster or client picks up the phone to call us is to ask us a legal question on a different matter or to see how our kids are doing
  4. To us, an honest evaluation of a case means:
    1. In our Initial Status Report giving a verdict range from which we never stray
    2. Providing a verdict range with each and every status report, and not being afraid to alter that number when the facts we uncover call for an adjustment
    3. Dancing around a range in each report based on "needing further information"
  5. We go to trial excited because:
    1. It's a chance for us to hear ourselves pontificate
    2. We love the limelight
    3. Most importantly, we know that we have fully apprised our clients and the adjuster of the risks based on a thorough investigation, and we did so well before the Thursday before trial
    4. All of the above
