Fantastic Experience

From start to finish, Rahlita and Gilbert have been extremely helpful with everything regarding the case. Rahlita took all the evidence and documentation needed for the case and built a strong case for me and my family. She has definitely made my first experience dealing with an accident very pleasan...t.

We strive each and every day to do the best work and assist the victims in accident cases everyday. It is not always fair because the person who is the victim is often seen as the offender...We have to keep pushing and hope that society starts seeing those who do wrong as the ones who should pay for their mistakes when it comes to accidents...Thanks Trevor! 888-343-4529.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Partially Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2009

updated on 02/23/2019

Partially Probated Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice, he or she will be on probation, meaning the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Rahlita’s comment:

“Licensed almost 30 years ago and now our firm is helping so many with their Accident and Family Law issues that we take pride in. Search #myclientsloveme to see just how much. This suspension is not indicative of the firm's work product. We have clients who have volunteered to be references and referral sources. #Ihavesomegoodclients. If you want excellent customer service along with detail oriented and aggressive representation call us at 888-343-4529.”
