David Paul Havins

I was in an automobile accident from a hit and run driver who hit me from the side and I had a neck injury. I hired Mr. Havins to help me because he was referred to me by a friend and I looked at the Havins Law Firm online to see what kind of cases he handles. I went in for an appointment and I had... a meeting with Mr. Havins and his staff. His office was very impressive and you can see a great view of Houston from the conference room where I met with him and his employees. He has large staff, with several attorneys working for him and they were very good to me. He explained what I should expect from the case and I had an opportunity to ask questions and get answers. I had to file a claim against the insurance company, but they denied my claim and didn’t even want to pay for my medical bills. Mr. Havins sent a letter to the insurance company asking them to pay for my medical bills and the pain that I experienced from this accident and my lost wages, but they said my medical bills were too high. My attorney took my case to court and he asked for money for my medical expenses and injuries from the jury. I met with him and his staff many times and I was always told what was going on. He assisted me in getting good medical doctors to get the treatment that I needed for my injuries. I couple of loans to help me when I was unable to work. I was happy with everything he did for me. He charged a 1/3 attorney fee for the work he did, which was fair and it’s what I agreed to in the beginning. I understand that the insurance policy was only for $30,000.00, but he got all the money under the insurance policy that we could get. When I got the settlement he explained all of the charges and paid my medical bills for me. He even took the time to contact my doctors and ask them to reduce their medical bills and they did. I looked at all of the papers when we settled and he did a great job and he was honest about everything for me. I think he was very aggressive in handling my case and got me a good settlement. I would refer him to anyone who wants a good attorney to help you with everything. Mario

I have been waiting on responces from this man for months! Everything takes 3 months to get an answer!!! We have 2 separate cases open with this attny and on one of them he has not even followed up with the insurance company to see why they have not yet accepted liability!!! It has benn15 months and... I have heard NOTHING on it. It took over a year to get anything out of the PIP and then when they got it they told me that they had not yet but when I logged on to my insurance company it said the check had been mailed out already. When I called his office and told them that I had confirmation that the check had been mailed out, they said oh maybe it will be in todays mail but we have not received that yet. Then I had to call back after noon to ask again, they did not call me to tell me. Then when I asked to go get the check they kept giving me reasons why they could not give me the check. All of a sudden the attorney is sick and has not been in for the last 3 days and he is the only one that can write the check. I am really fed up with this office and am ready to look for new a lawyer. There is no reason for it to take over a year to get a PIP check that you can get in 2 weeks if you did it on your own!
