Bad attorney

He never done good job on my case, I signed contract with him in 2013, he told me he will help me to get settlement, I called many times and he never answer my questions and left voice mail and never call me back.

GREAT SETTLEMENT/GREAT LAWYER

Mr. Havins recovered a $150,000.00 settlement from an injury to my abdomen and back that I had from an accident. The insurance company disputed my claim and did not want to pay me any money. Mr. Havins filed a lawsuit against the insurance company and he was worked hard to make them pay for the inj...uries and pain that I had in this accident. He is honest, straight and told me everything I needed to know. I met with him and he explained what he would do for me. He is very clever and he knew how to get the most dollars for me out of my case. The insurance company was forced to pay me because he took my case to court and made them pay me. He helped me through the lawsuit and arranged for personal loans so I could get through this whole thing. I was unable to work for a couple of months. He met with me in person and I met his entire staff, who are friendly, knowledgeable, and really kept me informed about my case. I did not have to pay for anything until he settled my case. He charges the same fee as other attorneys in Houston which is one third of your settlement and I got every dollar that I wanted. I reviewed all of the charges for attorney fees, medical fees and case expenses when he got my case settled and everything was fair and accurate. I checked with several other attorneys but they did not have the experience he has in getting large settlements. He charges the same fee as any local attorney in Houston. I would suggest you check out his website and learn about the large settlements he gets for people. I was impressed with everything. I would definitely recommend this lawyer to anyone because he cares about your welfare and will do you right.

BEST AGRESSIVE LAWYER

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

Find another Law Office!

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!

No return call ever!

August 2012 I was in a car accident on 6-10 loop my car was spanned around 365 degrees in the middle of Houston's traffic! That was a frightful experience. It only got worst I realize now. I got in a wrecker trucker and he sold me on the clinic (Sophia @ Houston pain clinic) and that is where I was p...ut in contact with this law firm. I was a personal trainer prior to this accident therefore I had no healthcare and that treatment was not helping at all I was finally send to see a doctor who literally did not touch me just wrote me a script for muscle relaxers and pain medication. The body shop had my car for 3 months! And this lawyer never ever contacted me ever and when I would contact them it was like talking to a infant child (no understanding). I finally spoke with Neirada who told me "oh yeah no one contacted you we have you're settlement for 3,000 and that is split three ways between attorney , clinic and then you" REALLY! I am not signing nothing and when you hire an attorney shouldn't you at lease meet the attorney I was in aware that the paralegal practice law. I could go into more detail but every time I think about this scam my shoulder hurts and my anxiety returns its like being HIT ALL OVER AGAIN
