Fighting for Our Clients Is What We Do!
Jill is a Personal Injury Lawyer in Houston, TX, with 19 years of experience. If you have been injured by the negligence of another, Jill will fight for you and will not quit until the responsible party is held accountable. To recover damages resulting from your injury, such as your pain and suffering, lost wages, disfigurement, or other damages, you often have to prove liability against the negligent party in court. You have to present evidence of your injury, lost wages, and any other damages you have sustained. You need to hire a competent attorney who knows how to deal with the negligent party's insurance companies and their adjusters and lawyers. We do not tire until our client gets a just result. And we do not charge fees or get paid until the client is compensated.
When you have been injured by the negligence of another party, you need to choose a lawyer who is tough, dependable, and knows the law. Jill has handled a large number of cases and prepared them for trial and settlement. Jill is named Top 100 National Trial Lawyers in 2018 and 2019. She has been ranked among top Houston attorneys by Houstonia magazine in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Jill was voted Fellow to the Texas Bar Foundation in 2017, where only a very small percentage of Texas lawyers are invited to become Fellows. She was named Editor-in-Chief of The Houston Lawyer magazine in 2016-2017 and was board member of the Houston Bar Association THL from 2009 until 2017. She received the Houston Bar Association's Outstanding Service Award in 2017. Jill has won cases against the toughest opponents in Texas and the nation.
Jill Yaziji is licensed by the Texas Supreme Court and all Texas state courts, and the U.S. District Court for the Southern and Western Districts.
