More than a lawyer.A partner in justice.
Hurt in an accident? While you heal, I take on the insurance company. You pay nothing unless we win. Call me and tell me what happened.
Tell Jimmy what happened
Jimmy reads every request himself and will be in touch with you shortly.
What happened to you?
What everyone wants to know before they call
The consultation is free and we work on contingency — you pay no attorney's fee unless we recover money for you.
From the date of the accident. Claims against government entities can have much shorter notice deadlines — call sooner rather than later.
Recorded statements are used to shrink your claim. Let us handle every call with the insurance company.
Medical bills, lost wages, future care, pain and suffering. We build the full picture before we ever talk numbers with an insurer.
The adjuster is already calling.
They call early on purpose, before you know how badly you are hurt. You do not owe the other driver's insurer a recorded statement.

Background & credentials
Why I do this — and why your fight is my fight.
I grew up in El Paso, on the border, in a place where you learn early that nobody hands you anything. As a Mexican-American kid, I watched people work twice as hard for half the credit — and I watched what happened when the system didn't listen to them.
That's what took me to Yale, back to Texas to teach high school government, and finally to the University of Houston Law Center. I didn't become a lawyer to push paper. I became a lawyer to stand next to people on the worst day of their lives and make sure they're heard.
If you've been hurt in a wreck, you already know: accidents suck. The pain, the bills, the adjuster calling before you're even out of the hospital. You don't need another voicemail system. You need a partner — someone who picks up the phone, explains everything plainly in English or Spanish, and fights like it's his own family on the line. Because when I take your case, that's exactly how I treat it.
Your fight is my fight. Period.
Want to talk it through?
We walk it together — here's how it goes
-
First 48 hours
Protect yourself
Don't admit fault or give recorded statements. See a doctor even if you feel okay — some injuries take days to surface, and the medical record protects both your health and your case.
-
The free call
Tell Jimmy what happened
Your consultation is with Jimmy, not a case manager. He evaluates your claim honestly: what it's worth, what it will take, and what comes next.
-
We build the case
Evidence, records, leverage
Photos, witnesses, police reports, medical records, black-box data if a truck is involved. Insurance companies pay attention when the file is airtight.
-
We fight
Negotiate hard — or go to trial
Most cases settle when the insurer sees we're ready for court. If they won't pay what's fair, we don't blink. You approve every decision along the way.
