Help When We Needed It

Our dear friends referred Mr. Bratton to us after I was in a horrible MVA. Mr. Bratton walked my husband and I through the entire process. He and his team compiled all medical records, talked to my physicians and gathered all relevant information pertinent to my case. He guided us through the med...iation process. He and his staff were completely professional and treated us like family. His knowledge and experience of the law in Texas led to a successful conclusion to the case. Should a situation like this occur again, we would not hesitate to call on Mr. Bratton to help us.

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 reque...sts. 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.

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

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 sh...ould absolutely go to The Bratton Firm.

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!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
