5 Tips for Choosing a Houston Car Accident Lawyer

After a car crash, the lawyer you choose can make all the difference between securing the justice and compensation your family deserves—or facing overwhelming medical bills, denied claims, and years of hardship. While many attorneys fight fiercely for injured Texans, others prioritize profits over people. At LeMaster Law Firm, we’ve seen how unethical practices can devastate lives. Here’s how to spot the difference:

🚩 Red Flag Practice: They Promise Unreasonably High Settlements

Bad lawyers will make unrealistic guarantees to get your business. They attempt to capture your attention by over valuing your case. There’s no way to predict the outcome of a case with certainty.

Good lawyers always start with a thorough case evaluation. At LeMaster Law Firm, we listen first. We’ll review police reports, medical records, and witness statements with you, discuss how the crash impacts your work and family life, and only then outline a strategy tailored to your unique situation. No pressure, no surprises—just clarity.

🚩 Red Flag Practice: They Dismiss Your Concerns or Leave You in the Dark

Bad lawyers treat clients as an inconvenience. They dodge calls, ignore emails, and use confusing legal jargon to avoid explaining your rights. If you feel rushed, unheard, or anxious about the process, that’s a major warning sign.

Good lawyers prioritize clear communication and empathy. Your questions about timelines, insurance tactics, or settlement options aren’t “bothersome”—they’re essential. At LeMaster Law Firm, we break down complex laws into plain language, update you proactively, and make sure you never feel alone in the fight. We’re not just your legal team; we’re your advocates in the storm.

🚩 Red Flag Practice: A High Volume Law Firm With Low Quality Outcomes

Bad lawyers often handle a large number of cases without giving each one the attention it deserves. If your lawyer seems to be juggling too many cases or treats you like just another number (perhaps not even knowing your name), it’s a sign they may not be fully committed to your case or providing the personalized attention you need.

Good lawyers put your best interests ahead of their bottom line. We’ll never pressure you to accept a lowball insurance offer or settle for an amount that doesn’t serve you. At LeMaster Law Firm, our contingency fee structure means we only get paid if you win—no upfront costs. We fight for maximum compensation, spend the time necessary to see it  through, and believe in Justice, Centered on You. Check out our Google reviews to learn how we operate.

🚩 Red Flag Practice: They Refuse to Collaborate With Experts

Bad lawyers work in silos. If your case involves complex injuries (like spinal trauma or traumatic brain injuries), they’ll skip consulting medical specialists or accident reconstructionists—weakening your claim. Their ego won’t let them admit when another professional’s insight could strengthen your position or they simply do not want to front the cost for it.

Good lawyers build powerhouse teams for your benefit. At LeMaster Law Firm, we partner with Houston’s top medical experts, engineers, and forensic analysts to prove the full impact of the crash—both physically and financially. We collaborate with therapists, vocational counselors, and life-care planners to ensure your settlement covers all future needs. Your victory is built on evidence, not arrogance.

🚩 Red Flag Practice: They Refuse to Adapt or Settle for “Good Enough”

Bad lawyers take a one-size-fits-all approach. They’ll push you toward a quick (and often inadequate) settlement because it’s easier for them, even if your injuries worsen over time. If they refuse to adjust strategy when new evidence emerges—or worse, disappear after filing initial paperwork; that’s neglect.

Good lawyers stay agile and relentless until justice is served. At LeMaster Law Firm, we monitor your recovery closely, revisit tactics as your medical needs evolve, and never accept less than what you’re owed. Whether negotiating fiercely with insurers or taking negligent drivers to court, we adapt to win—not to close files.
