Texas personal injury lawyer, accident attorney, and criminal law attorney
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does an attorney cost?
It all depends on the type of case you have! For personal injury cases, NO fees are required upfront or owed to the attorney until after a case has been settled or successfully tried. In criminal cases, most often payments depend on the severity of the criminal charge someone is facing. Other types of cases require hourly billing, such as family law and probate. Contact The Best Law Firm, PLLC today so we can discuss YOUR case and what fees may be associated with it.
What if I say something I "shouldn't" have to the attorney?
The attorney-client privilege protects you as attorney's are bound to keep conversations between clients confidential. There are very few exceptions, and even if you don't hire an attorney they are bound by the same privilege if they met with you while you were seeking legal advice. Being honest with your attorney is crucial to providing the best representation possible and is protected by that attorney-client privilege.
Will I look guilty if I ask for an attorney and refuse to talk to the police?
Simply put, No. It is your constitutional right to remain silent and for your attorney to be present, once requested. Additionally, these rights cannot be used against you in court. You may need to provide basic information about your identity, but do not talk about what happened or answer any questions related to the incident. Call and ask for your attorney immediately. The Best Law Firm, PLLC is here to help.
What should I do if I've been in an accident?
Make sure you are OK! Too often people falsely believe that if they are not obviously injured they don't need to contact an attorney. This conclusion is often made prior to even being cleared by even the simplest of medical exams. As a result, people settle for much less and don't fully realize the traumatic effects of an accident before it is too late. Call The Best Law Firm, PLLC to fight so that you can be compensated for your injuries.
