The Equal Access to Justice Champions Program was started by the Houston Bar Association in 2006, to help ensure placement of Houston Volunteer Lawyers cases with pro bono volunteers. Originally, firms were tiered according to size, and firms within each tier committed to accept a certain number of pro bono cases from HVL each year for five years.

The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 is an invitation-only organization composed of the premier trial lawyers from each state or region who meet stringent qualifications as civil plaintiff and/or criminal defense trial lawyers. Selection is based on a thorough multi-phase objective and uniformly applied process which includes peer nominations combined with third-party research.

Established in 1993, the Million Dollar Advocates Forum (which includes the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum) is one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States. Membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. There are over 4000 members throughout the country. Fewer than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members.

Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review. Their methodology is designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area.

In order to earn the Lead Counsel Rating, an attorney must not only demonstrate significant legal experience, but must also receive multiple peer recommendations advocating his or her ability. This is a key component in the screening process.

Each year, Super Lawyers recognizes the top lawyers in Texas via a patented multiphase selection process involving peer nomination, independent research and peer evaluation. The Texas lawyers who receive the highest point totals during this selection process are further recognized in Texas Super Lawyers Top Lists.

Frequently asked Questions

What should I do if I have been injured in a car accident?
- After a car accident, most people experience some degree of shock. However, there are certain steps that should be taken to help ensure a strong case. If possible, do the following:
  - Call the police.
  - Take photos of the accident scene.
  - Talk to any witnesses and get their contact information.
  - Get insurance information from the other driver.
  - Most importantly, see a doctor. This is important even if you believe your injuries are minor – or even if you think you have no injuries at all.
Should I take photos of the accident scene?
- Taking photos of the accident scene – whether you were involved in a car accident, premises liability accident or other type of accident – can prove to be very beneficial as you go through the legal process. Accident scene photos can be used as evidence in the investigation of your case. Take photos with your phone or keep a disposable camera in your glove compartment.
Am I eligible for compensation if someone else caused my accident and injuries?
- If you have been injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence or recklessness, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and suffering. It is important to speak to a personal injury lawyer about your legal options, preferably before you speak to your insurance company.
  
  Remember: Your insurance company may offer you much less than your case is worth. A personal injury attorney can help you seek maximum compensation for all damages and expenses associated with your accident.
How much does it cost to hire an attorney?
- When you work with an attorney from Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Agosto, Aziz & Stogner, you will owe us nothing upfront. We don’t charge legal fees unless we are successful at obtaining a verdict or settlement for you.
What can I expect in my free consultation?
- We offer a free initial consultation and case review to prospective clients. This is an opportunity for you to ask us questions about your case, learn about your legal options and find out how we can help you.
