Understanding the Landscape: Texas Law and Your Rights

Texas law is unique, shaped by our state’s history, values, and diverse economic engine. From the oil and gas fields that fuel our economy to the vibrant urban centers, the legal challenges Texans face are often specific to our unique environment. Navigating these complexities requires an attorney with not only a profound understanding of the law but also a keen awareness of local nuances, cultural sensitivities, and community dynamics.

Our team at Attorney911 possesses this exact blend of expertise. We are intimately familiar with the judicial systems in Harris County, Travis County, and Jefferson County, as well as the federal courts, including the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas. This deep-seated knowledge allows us to craft legal strategies that are not only sound but also highly effective within specific Texas jurisdictions.

The Attorney911 Difference: Expertise Rooted in Texas

Attorney911 is more than a law firm; it is a promise of dedicated, aggressive, and professional legal representation. Our foundational strength comes from the combined experience and unique perspectives of our leading attorneys: Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña.

Ralph Manginello: A Texas Native Fighting for Texans

Our founding and managing partner, Ralph Manginello, embodies the spirit of our firm. Born in New York but raised predominantly in the Memorial area of Houston from the age of five, Ralph is a true Texan. He understands the fabric of our communities, having attended Hunters Creek Elementary, Awty International School, and Memorial High School. This deep connection to Houston informs his dedicated approach to serving Texans.

Ralph’s journey to becoming a legal advocate began at the University of Texas at Austin, where he earned a B.A. in Journalism, followed by his Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law Houston. Practicing since 1998, he founded his own personal injury law firm in 2001, which evolved into Attorney911. His nearly three decades of experience have cemented his reputation as a formidable legal force.

His memberships in the Houston Bar Association and the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA) underscore his commitment to the local legal community and his expertise in criminal defense. Furthermore, his admission to the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, signifies his capability to handle complex federal litigation. Ralph’s personal passion for helping people is the driving force behind Attorney911, ensuring that those suffering a legal emergency receive immediate, aggressive, and professional help from someone they can trust.

Lupe Peña: An Insider’s Advantage for Personal Injury Victims

Associate Attorney Lupe Peña brings a unique and invaluable perspective to Attorney911, particularly in personal injury cases. As a 3rd generation Texan, with family roots tied to the historic King Ranch and born and raised in Sugar Land, Lupe’s connection to our state runs deep. He understands the daily lives and concerns of Texans, from suburban families to agricultural communities.

Lupe earned his B.B.A. in International Business from Saint Mary’s University in San Antonio and his Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law Houston. What truly sets Lupe apart is his extensive experience working for a national defense firm. During this time, he gained firsthand, insider knowledge of how large insurance companies operate, how they value claims, and the tactics they employ to minimize compensation. This experience is a powerful asset for our clients, as Lupe now leverages that comprehensive understanding to aggressively pursue maximum compensation for the injured.

Since transitioning to the plaintiff’s side, Lupe has recovered millions for his clients in cases ranging from wrongful death to dram shop liability, trucking accidents, and car crashes. His fluency in Spanish also enables us to effectively serve Texas’s diverse Hispanic communities, ensuring that language is never a barrier to justice. Lupe is a skilled negotiator and trial attorney, known for his willingness to “outwork, outsmart, and outfight the other side,” all while keeping clients fully informed at every stage of their case.

Together, Ralph and Lupe lead a team dedicated to providing Texans with the highest caliber of legal representation, combining local knowledge with powerful legal expertise.

Personal Injury: Restoring Your Life After an Accident in Texas

Life in Texas can be incredibly dynamic, but with that dynamism comes the risk of accidents. Whether you’re navigating Houston’s sprawling freeways, working at a refinery outside Beaumont, or commuting through Austin’s rapidly growing corridors, accidents can happen unexpectedly, leaving physical, emotional, and financial burdens in their wake. Attorney911 specializes in helping victims of personal injury across Texas recover the compensation they need to rebuild their lives.

We understand that insurance companies, despite collecting substantial premiums, often prioritize their profits by minimizing payouts to accident victims. Our approach is to negotiate from a position of undeniable strength. We meticulously build each case, often collaborating with a diverse network of experts including medical care providers, accident reconstructionists, and economists, to ensure we fully understand the impact of your injuries and the true value of your claim. If an insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial, a testament to our aggressive advocacy and strong record of success. Remember, we don’t get paid unless we win your case.

Car Accidents: Navigating Texas Roadways and Insurance Claims

Texas roadways, particularly in major metropolitan areas like Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth, see millions of drivers daily. Unfortunately, this also means car accidents are a common occurrence, often leading to serious injuries and complex insurance claims. From fender-benders on Loop 610 to multi-car pileups on I-35, our team is equipped to handle the aftermath.

We know that injuries from car accidents can be life-altering, causing not only physical pain but also lost wages, extensive medical bills, and significant emotional distress. Our goal is to ensure you receive comprehensive compensation for property damage, lost income (both present and future), medical and rehabilitation expenses, and the often-overlooked pain and suffering you endure. We work tirelessly to counter insurance companies’ tactics, leveraging Lupe Peña’s insider knowledge of their claims valuation processes to secure the maximum possible settlement for you.

Consider a recent case where our client suffered a leg injury in a car accident. Tragically, staff infections during treatment led to a partial amputation. Our experience with such devastating outcomes allowed us to navigate the complexities, resulting in a multi-million dollar settlement. This outcome underscores our commitment to achieving positive results even in the most challenging scenarios.

18-Wheeler & Big Rig Accidents: Challenging Commercial Giants on Texas Highways

Texas is a major hub for commercial trucking, with I-10, I-45, and I-35 serving as critical arteries for freight across the nation. While essential to our economy, the sheer size and weight of 18-wheelers mean that accidents involving these vehicles are often catastrophic, leading to severe injuries or even wrongful death. These cases are inherently complex, involving intricate state and federal regulations, commercial insurance policies, and often multiple liable parties.

At Attorney911, we are truck accident specialists. Our team possesses deep expertise in personal injury law, trucking and transportation law, and interstate commerce regulations specific to Texas. We understand that maximizing compensation in these cases requires a rigorous, evidence-based approach. We bring in accident reconstructionists, medical experts, and vocational rehabilitation specialists to build a robust case. Our investigative acumen extends to obtaining and examining crucial evidence such as truck maintenance records, driving logs (including Electronic Logging Device data), driver qualification files, and cell phone records – all vital to proving negligence against truck drivers and trucking companies.

We have a proven track record of helping injured individuals and families facing trucking-related wrongful death cases recover millions of dollars in compensation. If you’ve been seriously injured in a trucking accident on one of Texas’s busy highways, we can answer your questions regarding medical bills, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and compensation for mobility issues and pain and suffering.

Motorcycle Accidents: Protecting Riders’ Rights Across Texas

Motorcyclists enjoy the open roads of Texas, from coastal cruises to scenic Hill Country routes. However, they face disproportionately severe injuries when involved in collisions with larger vehicles. Drivers often claim they “didn’t see” a motorcycle, but the law requires all drivers to be aware of their surroundings and maintain control of their vehicles. At Attorney911, we are fierce advocates for injured bikers, ensuring their rights are protected and their voices heard.

We specialize in securing compensation for injuries common in motorcycle accidents, such as “road rash” burns and scarring, closed head injuries, traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries, and even the tragic loss of a limb or wrongful death. Our aggressive approach holds negligent drivers accountable, striving to ensure injured motorcyclists and their families receive full and fair compensation for property damage, lost income (current and future), medical and rehabilitation expenses, and the profound pain and suffering they experience.

Offshore Injuries & Maritime Law: Advocating for Workers on Texas’s Waters

Texas’s Gulf Coast is a critical center for the energy and maritime industries, employing thousands of deckhands, captains, oilfield services workers, and rig hands. While these jobs are vital, they are also inherently dangerous. When injuries occur on ships, oil rigs, or other offshore vessels and locations, unique federal maritime laws apply, such as the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act, and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.

Our firm has extensive experience navigating these complex federal frameworks, successfully resolving numerous offshore injury cases. We work with an extensive network of experts – including nurses, investigators, life care planners, medical care providers, economists, and safety experts – to build an ironclad case. For instance, in a recent case, our client suffered a back injury while lifting cargo on a ship. Our investigation revealed inadequate assistance, leading to a significant cash settlement.

If you’ve been injured on a freighter, tug, tanker, rig, barge, or any other vessel, it’s crucial to contact an offshore accident attorney immediately. Before considering any settlement offer directly from your employer or their insurance company, contact Attorney911 for a free initial consultation to understand your rights under these specialized maritime laws.

Workers’ Compensation & Construction Accidents: Safeguarding Texas Workers

The workers’ compensation system in Texas is designed to protect employees injured on the job. However, it is notoriously complicated, and outcomes can often feel unfair to the injured worker. Attorney911 helps Texans navigate this intricate system, ensuring they receive the benefits they are entitled to. We guide you through the process, from promptly notifying your employer and seeking medical treatment to advocating for your rights if benefits are delayed or refused. Our firm has recovered millions for workers, including a multi-million dollar settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury and vision loss after a log fell on him at a logging company.

Moreover, Texas law offers distinct avenues for construction accident victims. While workers’ compensation provides a safety net, injured workers often have the additional right to pursue personal injury claims against responsible third parties beyond their employer. On busy construction sites in cities like Houston, numerous contractors and subcontractors are typically involved. If a third party’s negligence caused your injury – whether due to crane accidents, forklift accidents, falls from heights, or scaffolding collapses – you could be entitled to compensation above and beyond your workers’ compensation benefits. We specialize in examining these cases to identify all responsible parties, ensuring you receive the maximum recovery available.

Refinery & Plant Accidents: Holding Industrial Giants Accountable in Texas

Texas is home to a vast network of manufacturing plants, industrial facilities, and chemical and oil refineries, particularly along the Gulf Coast from Houston’s Ship Channel to Beaumont. While these industries are economic powerhouses, they can also be the site of devastating accidents, often due to cost-cutting measures or negligent actions. Our firm has a distinguished record in handling refinery and plant accident personal injury cases, standing as one of the few firms in Texas to have been involved in the landmark BP Texas City explosion litigation.

This invaluable experience has equipped us to provide immediate and expert legal assistance against even the largest international industrial and refinery companies. We believe that those injured due to negligence deserve not only financial compensation but also the assurance that negligent parties are held accountable for their actions. If you’ve been injured in an on-the-job refinery accident or other industrial incident in areas like Pasadena, Baytown, or Texas City, you need experienced lawyers to navigate this complex litigation.

Toxic Tort Claims: Seeking Justice for Exposure in Texas

Exposure to toxic chemicals can lead to severe, lifelong injuries and disabilities. In Texas, with our significant industrial presence, toxic tort claims are a critical area of law. If you have suffered illness or injury due to another party’s negligence or a defective product, such as water contamination, black mold exposure, or issues related to defective drugs (including those involved in recalls), you have the right to seek compensation. These claims can be complex, as the negative effects of toxic exposure may take years to manifest, making it challenging to link injuries to a specific source.

Our priority is to help you access the medical care you need as soon as possible. We then work relentlessly to maximize your compensation, thoroughly investigating all your immediate and future costs, losses, and expenses. We handle both individual and class action toxic tort claims, ensuring that whether you are one person or part of a larger group affected, your rights are vigorously protected.

Wrongful Death Claims: Compassionate Advocacy for Grieving Families in Texas

Losing a loved one, especially due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful act, is an unimaginable tragedy. During such a difficult time, the thought of legal concerns can be overwhelming. At Attorney911, we provide compassionate yet aggressive legal representation, handling every aspect of your wrongful death claim so you can focus on healing.

We help Texas families navigate these painful circumstances, whether the loss resulted from drunk driving accidents, motorcycle accidents, 18-wheeler truck accidents, or medical malpractice. We collaborate with economists and other experts to meticulously calculate the full financial impact of your loved one’s death, ensuring that factors like pain and suffering, loss of companionship, lost wages, and all other losses are accounted for in your settlement. It is crucial to act quickly in wrongful death cases to preserve evidence, identify witnesses, and maintain the integrity of the accident scene, and we are here to guide you through every step.

Criminal Defense: Protecting Your Freedom and Future in Texas

Facing criminal charges in Texas can be a terrifying and life-altering experience. Whether you’re accused of a minor offense or a serious felony, the implications for your freedom, reputation, and future are severe. At Attorney911, we believe that every individual is innocent until proven guilty and deserves a zealous, unwavering defense. We aggressively fight for the rights of defendants across the entire state of Texas, offering immediate, professional help during what is often a person’s deepest legal emergency.

DWI/DUI Defense: Fighting for Your Driving Privileges and Freedom in Texas

A DWI or DUI charge in Texas can lead to severe penalties, including hefty fines, license suspension, increased insurance premiums, and a criminal record that can impact employment and personal opportunities. Pleading guilty without understanding all your options can have long-lasting, damaging consequences.

At Attorney911, we have dedicated extensive resources to defending Texans against DWI/DUI charges, successfully handling hundreds of such cases. We employ a broad range of aggressive defense tactics designed to prevent license suspension and fight for your rights, even if you refused a breath test. Our meticulous investigation into police procedures, equipment calibration, and constitutional compliance often reveals critical weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.

Consider these powerful examples of our track record:

  • In one instance, our client was charged with drunk driving based on a breath test. Our investigation uncovered that a police department employee was not properly maintaining the breathalyzer machines. We argued that without a reliable breath test, the state had no case, and the charges were dismissed.
  • Another client, after rolling his car and injuring a passenger, was arrested for DWI, but police failed to conduct breath or blood tests. Crucially, on-scene emergency staff and nurse notes from the hospital did not indicate intoxication. The case was dismissed on the day of trial.
  • We also successfully obtained a dismissal where the state’s primary evidence was a video field sobriety test; we argued that our client did not appear drunk in the video, leading to a favorable outcome for our client.

These cases demonstrate our commitment to scrutinizing every detail and challenging every piece of evidence to protect your freedom and future. From Harris County to Travis County and beyond, we understand the specific court procedures and prosecutors you may face.

Comprehensive Criminal Defense: A Full Spectrum of Protection in Texas

Beyond DWI/DUI, Attorney911 provides robust defense for a wide array of criminal charges across Texas. We understand that accusations of drug crimes, assault, theft, or other offenses can be overwhelming, leading many to feel that conviction is inevitable. This is far from true. We have helped numerous individuals across Texas successfully fight and beat their charges by leveraging constitutional challenges, scrutinizing evidence, and developing powerful defense strategies.

We have handled hundreds of drug cases, skilled at defending against charges of possession of marijuana, cocaine, crystal meth, heroin, and ecstasy, as well as drug trafficking and manufacturing. For example, in a recent case, police entered our client’s home without proper authorization, where they found a large quantity of illegal drugs. After meticulous preparation and identifying weaknesses in the case, we successfully arranged for deferred adjudication. This outcome allowed our client, who previously faced 5 to 99 years in jail, to avoid jail time, and their charges will be dismissed upon completion of court rules. This highlights our ability to achieve remarkable results even in the face of severe allegations.

Our comprehensive criminal defense services also include:

  • Assault Crimes: Including Assault Family Violence, Child Abuse, and Domestic Violence, navigating the sensitive and complex nature of these cases.
  • Driving with an Invalid License: Understanding the often cascading legal issues associated with this charge.
  • Elder Abuse: Defending against accusations and ensuring due process.
  • Expunctions: Helping eligible Texans clear their criminal records for a fresh start.
  • Extortion, Fraud, and Internet Crimes: Tackling complex white-collar and digital offenses.
  • Firearms Offenses: Protecting Second Amendment rights and navigating gun laws.
  • Hit and Run: Addressing the serious consequences of leaving the scene of an accident.
  • Homicide-Murder: Providing aggressive defense in the most serious of criminal cases.
  • Kidnapping and Sexual Assault: Delivering fierce advocacy in highly sensitive and emotionally charged cases.
  • Theft Crimes and Vandalism: From shoplifting to grand theft, we defend your rights.
  • Public Intoxication: Offering practical defense strategies for common charges.

Our approach centers on analyzing your charges, challenging probable cause, scrutinizing illegal searches and seizures, and asserting other constitutional rights. We understand the specific nuances of Texas criminal law and are prepared to fight for you in courtrooms across the state.

Our Proven Track Record: Delivering Results for Texans

At Attorney911, our reputation is built on tangible results and unwavering dedication. We don’t just promise; we deliver. Our case history speaks volumes about our commitment to justice and our capability to handle the most demanding legal challenges.

  • Trucking Wrongful Death: Our personal injury attorneys have helped numerous families facing tragic trucking-related wrongful death cases recover millions in compensation, providing support during their darkest hours.
  • Maritime Injury: For a client who injured his back while lifting cargo on a ship, our investigation proved improper assistance, leading to a significant cash settlement under maritime law.

Significant Case Victories: Challenging the Odds

  • BP Texas City Explosion Litigation: Our firm was among the few in Texas involved in the litigation stemming from the catastrophic BP refinery explosion in Texas City in 2005, an immense undertaking that cemented our expertise in complex refinery accident cases.
  • Drug Charges Reduced: We obtained deferred adjudication for a client facing 5 to 99 years in jail on drug charges after police illegally entered his home. This strategic victory allowed him to avoid jail time and secure dismissal of charges, showcasing our powerful defense tactics and constitutional challenges.

Specific Case Outcomes: Precision and Perseverance

Our detailed case outcomes illustrate our commitment to rigorous defense and strategic litigation:

  • DWI Dismissal (Breath Test Flaws): A client’s DWI charge was dismissed after our investigation revealed improper maintenance of breathalyzer machines by police, demonstrating our technical scrutiny.
  • DWI Dismissal (Lack of Evidence): Another DWI case was dismissed on the day of trial when we highlighted the absence of breath/blood tests, no intoxication notes from emergency staff, and missing hospital records for a client involved in a car accident. This highlights our comprehensive approach to evidence.
  • DWI Dismissal (Video Evidence Rebuttal): We successfully secured dismissal for a client charged with DWI where the state relied on a video field sobriety test, arguing effectively that the video did not show intoxication.

These victories are not just statistics; they represent clients whose lives we have positively impacted, showcasing our ability to achieve favorable outcomes in diverse and challenging legal scenarios across Texas.

The Insider Advantage: Our Unique Competitive Edge in Texas

What truly sets Attorney911 apart in the vast legal landscape of Texas is not just our collective experience but our strategic advantages born from unique perspectives and specific achievements.

Insider Knowledge of Insurance Companies (Thanks to Lupe Peña)

Lupe Peña’s background as an attorney for a national defense firm offers an unparalleled “insider’s view” into the strategies and operations of insurance companies. He knows exactly how claims are valued, how reserves are set, and the tactics they use to delay, deny, or minimize compensation. Lupe understands how insurance adjusters utilize Independent Medical Exams (IMEs) to reduce claim values and why they often drag out cases to pressure plaintiffs into accepting lower settlements. This direct knowledge is an immense asset, allowing us to anticipate their moves, counter their arguments effectively, and negotiate from a position of power, forcing them to treat our clients fairly.

Unmatched Experience in Complex Litigation

Our firm is not afraid to tackle the most challenging legal battles. Our involvement in the BP Texas City explosion litigation is a testament to our capability in high-stakes, complex cases involving industrial giants. We bring this same level of expertise to:

  • Maritime Law: Navigating the intricate federal laws of the Jones Act, Longshore Act, and Death on the High Seas Act for offshore and harbor workers.
  • Commercial Trucking Accidents: Confronting well-resourced trucking companies and their insurers with meticulous evidence and regulatory mastery.
  • Federal Court: Our attorneys’ admission to the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, underscores our ability to handle federal cases across various practice areas.

Deep Texas Roots and Local Mastery

Our offices in Houston, Austin, and Beaumont, combined with Ralph’s lifelong connection to Houston and Lupe’s multi-generational Texan heritage (from Sugar Land to the King Ranch), give us an authentic, deep-seated understanding of Texas. This is not just about geography; it’s about knowing the local courts, the judges, the prosecutors, and the community attitudes that can impact a case. We understand the specific concerns and dynamics that affect Texans, from urban pain points to rural challenges.

Bilingual Capability: Serving Texas’s Diverse Communities

Lupe Peña’s fluency in Spanish significantly enhances our ability to serve Texas’s vibrant and diverse Hispanic communities.
