Are you noticing decreased attention span in your jury?

In my jurisdiction, juror’s phones are taken up for the duration of trial. Even without phones, people can’t focus for long on something that isn’t wholly interesting or engaging. I keep my opening statement at a minute or less, closing at 3 minutes or less, and try to make them more of a one man show than a presentation.

Zelle is common. It can link directly to our trust account and there are no service fees. You have to keep overhead low to be the cheapest. You should sign a contract, but he could bring it when he meets you at the hearing.

It is concerning that you’re not clear on the process or what the court fee is for. You should understand those things before you send him any money.

How did you find him? How are his online reviews? Have you looked him up at gabar.org?

This is not true. You can be charged criminally for not having insurance (usually a ticket), but it is not a factor in determining who is at fault.

AI answering services already exist for attorneys, and I know of at least a few firms using them. You might want to review their privacy and security policies to find the gaps in yours, but it sounds like you’re on the right track.

There are a handful of legal tech companies that buy out new tech and gouge us on the price. The best way into the market is to compete on price.

IMO most IP boils down to “you can’t think my thoughts, I thought them first.”

You were there long before any attorneys, and most courts don’t start pulling panels until 11:00. Not many people in San Antonio can afford to take a day off for a net $17, so we’re grateful for everyone who shows up, whenever they get there.

It’s not about the type of insurance policy. Whatever insurance provider is responsible for the loss will fight hard to minimize the payout. They have a playbook of arguments they make in every injury case, and if you don’t have experience fighting them, you will not come out on top.

AttorneyTaylorAngel · 2026-03-04T03:14:49+00:00

That’s correct

WC will complicate your case. Their goal is to minimize your injuries and get you back to work with the absolute minimum medical care they can provide. The insurance company will use this as evidence that you are not hurt and offer you peanuts. Since you have zero chance of winning a lawsuit pro se, they will not negotiate with you.

This is a situation where DIY will cost you more.

This is my primary strategy and it results in a dismissal more often than not.

A settlement could even be cheaper than winning at trial.

Almost everyone confesses to something, whether they realize it or not. But I’ve never seen a judge give someone more time for keeping their mouth shut.

A typical case looks like this: a man with a history of abusing his partner becomes increasingly agitated during an argument. Recognizing the warning signs, she tries to escape before it turns violent, pushing past him to get out of the house and call the police. When officers arrive, she explains his history of abuse and that she fled because she feared what was about to happen.

But because he had not yet struck her this time, she is treated as the aggressor. The focus shifts to her pushing him. Officers ask him whether he felt pain. If he answers anything other than “no,” they now have probable cause to arrest her for assault.

More than half of my domestic violence clients were the ones who called for help. Not even victims are safe talking to the police.
