He has had cases at one time or another with just about every heavy casualty lawyer in the business in Texas. He once said the "Texas Hammer" wasn't known for actually taking cases to trial. He just settled them left and right for the same amounts the claimant would have gotten from the insurance company to begin with. The only diff was the "Texas Hammer" got to keep 40-50% of the poor sap's settlement. Always ask your potential lawyer just how many cases he/she takes to trial and how many he/she wins.
TexasGal. I think many of the advertising attorneys are wanting to find cases that either (1) will settle easily so they get the rake off or (2) will be referred to real working attorneys who will carry the case so the referring attorney can get a cut and pay for his advertising. The poor victim of this aggressive LEO probably fell into the first group. Because he got something he was probably happy. I wish he'd found a lawyer that would have fought for more.
