Firm Overview

When interviewing an attorney, always be aware that the attorney works for you. Lawyers can be intimidating. Do not hesitate to ask questions about the attorney's experience and the law as it applies in your case. Good attorneys will be able to answer your questions, and when you don't get immediate answers, they will let you know when they will answer you.

At the law offices of Ibrahim & Elliott, LLP, in Houston-Galveston area, our lawyers know that clients appreciate honesty, accessibility and personal service. Contact the law firm to schedule a consultation regarding your criminal defense or personal injury.

You should hire an attorney who answers phone calls as quickly as possible, who explains what is going on in your case, and who tries to accommodate reasonable requests. Remember that an attorney's time and expertise are your most effective weapons in fighting the system; they are also an attorney's most valuable asset - you benefit from quality service.

The best lawyers, whether handling DWI/DUI defense or motor vehicle accidents, are first and foremost trial lawyers. It is the experience that a trial lawyer earns in the trenches that enables an attorney to make accurate judgments about whether a plea offer is reasonable.

In criminal law, plea offers are usually justified on the basis that the government gives up a chance at a long sentence in exchange for not having to call people to court to testify and because it ensures finality of a conviction. The defendant should get an offer that would be less than a jury would assess in exchange for giving up the trial rights that every citizen accused has by virtue of the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Texas and in federal and state statutes.

In personal injury law, on the other hand, knowing when to accept a strong settlement offer and when to take a difficult insurance claims adjuster to court often means walking a fine line.

Seasoned trial lawyers are best equipped to advise clients with confidence in criminal cases or truck accident cases. Even so, the final decision always belongs to you when you hire an attorney to represent you.

Contact a Texas personal injury who will never forget that you and your best interests need to be the focus of every decision and every action of a zealous advocate who speaks on your behalf.
