Our law office has never had a client named Moe in the 26 years we have been in business. We have won more lawsuits than any other lawfirm in Texas for each of the past nine years, according to http://verdictsearch.com/ . Factors that decrease the value of a claim include 1) a dispute as to liability; 2) a dispute as to damages; 3) multiple prior injury claims; 4) a delay in treatment; 5) minor property damage; 6) criminal history and 7) prior damage to a wrecked vehicle. I am sorry that your expectations were not met. Please CALL 214-237-7558, TEXT 972-734-1050, EMAIL [email protected]; or FAX 214-367-4967 WITH YOUR REAL NAME and the date, and method to contact or meet with you so we can make this right.

Good Experience

When it came down to the mediation, they were able to reach me by phone to inform me. Very flexible to my schedule.

Run away fast

After 1.5 years of waiting and no contact I call and am told were working on the case and we have had offers from the insurance (if so I was not contacted once about the mysterious offers). I became curious and contacted the insurance claim rep and not only have there been NO offers of a settlement, ...no where in their system do they show any record of being contacted by a lawyer on my behalf! Meanwhile we are being evicted because we have lost 60,000+ in wages waiting for nothing. Thanks Ben Abbott!

CALL ME NOW SO THAT WE CAN FIX THIS: Faith Vicknair 214-237-7558 Ben Abbott & Associates On your case, we filed a lawsuit and are six months away from getting you money. You can check in the Texas County Court records on the status of your case and the trial date. The insurance is dragging this out so they can hold onto their money as long as they can. On behalf of the entire Ben Abbott & Associates team, I want to apologize for your negative experience. We pride ourselves on our client relations, and I assure you, it's not standard practice to have bad communication with our clients. We would never wish for any of our clients to have a bad experience after entrusting us with our services. If there is anything else, I hope you will allow me the opportunity to hear your detailed side of your story so that I can ensure that it does not happen within our practice again. Or in the very least, to allow me to apologize personally. I truly wish you well, and I hope to speak to you soon.

Thanks to Ben Abbott!

Statute of limitations deadline on my case was 12/1/16, Mr. Abbott contacted me on 11/30/16 - he was able to file my auto personal injury lawsuit in District Court by the next day and saved me from losing out entirely on an injury claim settlement that was rejected by opposing insurance company. It ...was a miracle.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I worked with Ben in 03'-04' about a year out of law school after working for a defense firm. I learned more in my one year working at the Law Office of Ben Abbott than any year in practice, trying 27 cases in 14 months. When 95% of other personal injury law firms in Dallas only want to settle cases and either refer out your case or drop it if they have to file suit, Ben will almost always file suit right away if the insurance company denies responsibility or makes a ridiculous low first offer. Also unlike ALOT of personal injury law firms, he actually still tries cases in front of a jury himself, so he knows how hard his staff and associate attorneys have to fight to get a case ready to win at trial and makes sure they have the research and resources they need to succeed. The philosophy about litigation that I learned while I was there “si vis pacem, para bellum” (if you want peace prepare for war) is still the key to success I live by in handling litigation files to this day."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
