Mr. Bratton and the entire team at The Bratton Firm took me in like I was part of their family. They went above and beyond for me. I cannot thank them enough nor recommend them more. Truly wonderful people and a great firm.

Excellent Attorney
My husband and I were looking for an attorney and had narrowed it down to three, with Louis being one of the three. After meeting with him, we felt confident that he would be the "bull dog" we needed him to be in the situation we were facing. We didn't know who we could trust and had to step out on faith with this one. Louis did everything he said he would do and guided us in the direction we needed to go. Our interactions with the staff were very positive, especially Andrea, our main contact person. We consider him a fine upstanding attorney that represented our family in a professional manner. We can't thank you enough for all you have done for our family.

The best attorney/client experience!
Mr. Bratton is a veteran Accident Injury attorney with over 39 years of experience. I chose his representation for just that - I knew we were in good hands. His professionalism and dedication to his clients created an excellent experience. I would highly recommend his services.

Excellent Lawyer!
I was referred to The Bratton Firm in Fall 2020. Louis Bratton and his paralegal Andrea were by side every step of the way, explaining everything I needed to know about my case, until it finally wrapped up in July 2022. I am incredibly grateful for all their expertise and guidance!

Louis and Andrea are awesome! They helped so much in my time of need and made the process so easy. All of my medical bills were covered and they sure got me out of a bind.

Excellent lawyer
An attorney friend recommended the Bratton firm after a ditching truck rear-ended my stopped car. Mr. Bratton clearly understands personal injury law and the effect of recent legislative changes on claims. Everyone at the firm was great to me. They kept me informed and were responsive to all my requests. The firm compiled my medical records, filed a complaint, arranged and prepared me for a deposition, and arranged for a mediated settlement. I was very satisfied. It is an excellent firm.

Professional, timely, and caring
Mr. Bratton was kind and helpful. I felt he and his staff were working hard on my case and secured a reasonable settlement for me. I recommended him to a few friends and will continue to do so.

Excellent Attorney and Staff
My daughter and I were involved in an accident. After having difficulties dealing with the insurance company myself, I met with Mr. Bratton and his staff and they took care of handling everything with the insurance company. They completely took the burden and anxiety off of my shoulders and were able to settle with the insurance company on my behalf. Well worth it!! Can't say enough about how wonderful they are!

Great lawyer!!
Recently hired Louis when I was rear ended in an auto accident. Knowing how well he represented me before , about 17 years ago, there was no doubt I would hire him again. Wonderful demeanor, sharp as a tack and very personable. Excellent results

Awesome Lawfirm
Got into a very bad car accident with my best friends. Louis and Andrea were amazing the entire ordeal. Andrea was always very helpful no matter how annoying I might have been with questions. Louis fought for us every step of the way. No doubt in my mind we made the right choice with choosing him to represent all 3 of us. Coming from a legal background myself I would hands down recommend this law firm.

Wonderful Experience!
I cannot thank Louis and Andrea enough for all of the support and advice they gave me through what was a very difficult and stressful time in my life. They handled my settlement quickly and got back more $$ for me than I thought possible. Anyone looking to hire a personal injury attorney in Austin should absolutely go to The Bratton Firm.

Professional and Compassionate
Louis and Andrea took care of my family in one of the most trying times of my life. I can not thank them enough for the compassion and attention they paid to us for nearly two years until our situation came to a conclusion. Their professionalism and care will never be forgotten.

Semi Accident
We are extremely blessed to have had the Bratton Firm represent us in our semi related auto accident. Everything about this case was complicated from start to finish. The Bratton Firm navigated all the moving pieces brilliantly!!! In short, they completely kicked the crap out of every insurance company that tried to escape their responsibility. I don’t believe any other law firm would have had the creativity and determination to get this type of job done. They also got it done in half the time of other law firms. Thank you Bratton Firm for all of your help, you have made a forever impact on my family’s life.

a winner
It's been such a pleasure to have Louis working on my behalf. I'm usually riddled with doubts and wonder when I'm dealing with attorneys. I found myself full of confidence knowing that I have someone that knows exactly what to do and how to do it. After talking to "many" attorneys, it looked like I would end up with a settlement of about $30k. Because of Louis expertise and vast experience, he was able to negotiate $60k, and everyone came out a winner... priceless!

The Bratton Firm - A Great Team!
Louis and his team (in particular his paralegal Andrea) were exactly what we were hoping for to assist us in a personal injury case that involved our one year old son at a daycare. Both my husband and I had never been in a situation that involved working with an attorney, but the Bratton Firm made us feel informed, educated on the legal side & were great with communication throughout. We settled our case via mediation and were very pleased with the outcome considering everything our son experienced. We really felt like we got to know Louis & Andrea too, which I don't think is necessarily common in this line of work. They are excellent people & great at what they do. We were truly blessed to end up with them representing our son. Thank you Bratton Firm!

Excellent choice
I was involved in a serious vehicle accident that resulted in a two week hospital stay. Before I even left the hospital we were inundated with phone calls from doctor offices, the hospital and insurance companies. We enlisted the services of Louis Bratton of the Bratton Firm and he and the firm took care of everything so we were able to concentrate on my recovery. We were given regular updates and any questions we had were quickly answered. He was always up front with me and I knew he would fight for my case. Louis Bratton graciously reduced his attorney fee to 20%. My $287,000 hospital stay was reduced to $0. We could not have asked for better service or nicer people. I highly recommend their services and would absolutely use them again if needed.

Bratton Firm
After being attacked by the neighbors dogs I went to the Bratton Firm to try to recoup my medical expenses from the responsible party. In addition to being exceptionally well connected in the field of personal injury law, Louis Bratton and his staff proved to be professional, experienced and thorough in guiding me through the legal process. Ultimately, the Bratton Firm secured me a sizable settlement in excess of the medical expenses I was seeking.

Louis Bratton and his paralegal Andrea couldn’t have been more professional and courteous! They treated me like a lifetime friend. I couldn’t have been more impressed or more satisfied. I would definitely refer them to anyone of my friends!!
