We are Attorney911, and our mission is to stand as your dedicated legal emergency responders, bringing decades of experience and a deep understanding of Texas law to the residents of Brazos County. Our expertise covers a wide spectrum of legal needs, ensuring that when you face a critical legal situation, you have formidable advocates on your side.

Immediate Help for Brazos County Car Accidents: Navigating the Aftermath

Brazos County’s roadways, from the busy thoroughfares of University Drive to the rural roads connecting our communities, are unfortunately no stranger to traffic accidents. The aftermath of a car accident can be overwhelming, leaving you with physical injuries, emotional trauma, and a stack of medical bills. When a collision occurs in Bryan, College Station, or anywhere across Brazos County, securing immediate and competent legal representation significantly impacts your path to recovery.

Why Brazos County Car Accident Victims Choose Attorney911:

Understanding Insurance Tactics: Insurance companies are businesses, and their primary goal is to minimize payouts. Our team, critically informed by Attorney Lupe Peña’s extensive background working for national defense firms, possesses invaluable insider knowledge of how these companies operate. We understand their claims valuation methods, their strategies for delaying settlement, and how they use tactics like “independent” medical exams to reduce claim values. This insight allows us to anticipate their moves and counter them effectively, ensuring you are not undervalued.
Comprehensive Case Building: To achieve the maximum compensation you deserve, a car accident case requires meticulous investigation and robust evidence. We work with a broad network of experts, including accident reconstructionists who can meticulously recreate the scene of a crash on Wellborn Road or Texas Avenue, medical care providers to document your injuries, and economists to project your future lost wages and medical expenses. This thorough approach strengthens your claim against negligent drivers and their insurers.
Navigating Texas-Specific Laws: Texas operates under a “modified comparative fault” rule, often called the “51% Bar Rule.” This means if you are found to be 51% or more at fault for an accident, you cannot recover any damages. We meticulously analyze every detail of your accident to protect you from unfair blame and ensure your percentage of fault is accurately assessed, or entirely contested where appropriate, to safeguard your compensation.
Prepared for Litigation: While we strive to settle cases whenever possible to save you the expense and delay of trial, we never shy away from taking your case to court if insurance companies refuse to make a fair offer. Our litigators have extensive experience in the courtroom, leveraging our aggressive approach and proven track record of success to advocate zealously for your rights in Brazos County courts. We have successfully litigated numerous cases, securing significant outcomes for our clients, including multi-million dollar settlements for severely injured individuals.

Our Commitment to You in Brazos County:

We believe that those injured due to someone else’s negligence should focus on healing, not on fighting insurance companies. We handle all aspects of your legal claim, from gathering evidence and negotiating with insurers to representing you in court. Furthermore, we operate on a contingency fee basis. This means we don’t get paid unless we win your case. Your financial well-being is tied directly to our success.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident in Brazos County, do not face the complex legal system alone. Contact us today for a free consultation to understand your rights and how we can help you on the road to recovery.

Defending Your Rights in Brazos County: DWI/DUI & Criminal Defense

Facing criminal charges in Brazos County, whether it’s a misdemeanor or a serious felony, can be one of the most frightening experiences of your life. The stakes are incredibly high, impacting your freedom, your livelihood, your reputation, and your future. From charges arising from a night out in Northgate to more complex allegations, having a skilled and aggressive criminal defense attorney is absolutely critical.

At Attorney911, we are committed to providing robust and strategic defense for individuals accused of crimes across Brazos County. Our Managing Partner, Ralph Manginello, is a member of the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA), demonstrating his dedication to elite criminal defense. We understand the nuances of the Texas criminal justice system and are prepared to fight tirelessly on your behalf.

DWI/DUI Defense in Brazos County:

Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) charges are particularly prevalent in university towns like College Station and Bryan. A DWI conviction can lead to severe penalties, including hefty fines, loss of driving privileges, increased insurance premiums, and a permanent criminal record. We have handled hundreds of DWI/DUI cases and possess the expertise to challenge the prosecution’s evidence vigorously.

Our DWI Defense Strategies Often Include:

Challenging Breath and Blood Tests: We meticulously scrutinize the calibration and maintenance records of breathalyzer machines. In one case, our investigation revealed a police department employee was not properly maintaining these devices, leading to the dismissal of our client’s drunk driving charges. We also investigate the protocols followed during blood draws to ensure accuracy and legality.
Analyzing Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs): FSTs are often subjective and prone to error. We examine all evidence, including dashcam or bodycam footage, to identify inconsistencies or improper administration of these tests. We once secured a dismissal where the state’s primary evidence was a video FSTbecause our client did not appear drunk in the video.
Protecting Your Driver’s License: A DWI arrest can automatically trigger administrative license revocation proceedings. We can represent you in these hearings to fight for the retention of your driving privileges.
Challenging Probable Cause for Stop: We investigate whether law enforcement had a lawful reason to pull you over in the first place, and if not, we work to suppress any evidence obtained illegally.

Comprehensive Criminal Defense for Brazos County Residents:

Our criminal defense expertise extends far beyond DWI and DUI charges. We represent clients facing a wide array of serious allegations, understanding that every case is unique and requires a tailored defense strategy.

Our Criminal Defense Practice Areas Include:

Drug Possession and Trafficking: We handle cases involving marijuana, cocaine, crystal meth, heroin, and other controlled substances. We successfully secured deferred adjudication for a client facing 5 to 99 years in jail after challenging weaknesses in the case where police entered his home without proper search protocols.
Assault Crimes, Including Family Violence: Allegations of assault can have devastating consequences. We provide a strong defense, carefully reviewing evidence and challenging witness testimonies.
Theft Crimes: From shoplifting to grand theft, we work to protect your rights and explore all possible defense avenues.
Expunctions: For eligible individuals, we can help clear your criminal record, offering a fresh start and preventing past mistakes from hindering your future opportunities.
Federal Charges: Ralph Manginello holds admission to the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, equipping us to handle federal criminal cases that demand a higher level of legal scrutiny and experience.
And More: From public intoxication to fraud, firearms offenses, and internet crimes, we are equipped to handle the complexities of your criminal charges.

Our Approach to Your Defense:

We analyze and fight your charges using every available defense strategy, including challenging probable cause, arguing illegal search and seizure, and asserting other constitutional violations. We are dedicated to exploring all avenues for dismissal, reduction of charges, or alternative sentencing outcomes like deferred adjudication.

If you are facing criminal charges in Brazos County, the time to act is now. Every moment counts in building a strong defense. Contact Attorney911 for a free, confidential consultation to discuss your case and understand how we can protect your rights.

Protecting Brazos County’s Workers: Workplace & Industrial Accidents

Brazos County is home to a diverse economy, with industries ranging from manufacturing to agriculture, and a significant construction sector supporting our growing population. Unfortunately, workplaces, no matter how carefully managed, can sometimes be the scene of serious accidents. When a worker in Bryan, College Station, or a surrounding community suffers an injury on the job, the legal landscape for compensation can be complex, and securing proper legal counsel is essential.

At Attorney911, we have a profound understanding of workplace accident law in Texas, including the crucial distinctions between workers’ compensation and third-party personal injury claims. We are dedicated to ensuring that injured workers receive the full compensation they are entitled to, whether it’s medical expenses, lost wages, or damages for pain and suffering.

Understanding Workers’ Compensation in Texas:

The Texas workers’ compensation system is designed to provide benefits to employees injured on the job. However, Texas has a unique “opt-out” system, meaning not all employers carry workers’ compensation insurance. If your employer is a “non-subscriber,” your legal options shift significantly, often allowing for a personal injury lawsuit directly against the employer, which can result in much greater compensation than traditional workers’ compensation benefits.

Our Expertise in Workers’ Compensation Includes:

Navigating a Complex System: The workers’ compensation process can be notoriously complicated, with strict deadlines and specific requirements. We guide you through every step, ensuring your claim is filed correctly and on time, and protecting your rights against potential denials or lowball offers from insurers.
Third-Party Claims for Enhanced Compensation: Even if your employer carries workers’ compensation, another party might be at fault for your accident. For instance, if a subcontractor on a College Station construction site caused your injury, you might have a third-party claim against them, allowing you to seek damages beyond what workers’ compensation provides, such as for pain and suffering. We meticulously investigate your accident to identify all potentially liable parties.
Advocating for Serious Injuries: We represent workers who have suffered a wide range of severe injuries, from traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage to amputations and internal organ damage. We recently secured a multi-million dollar settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury with vision loss after a log was dropped on him at a logging company. This demonstrates our ability to handle complex cases with significant long-term impacts.

Construction Accidents in Brazos County:

Construction sites throughout Brazos County, from new commercial developments near Texas A&M to residential projects, are particularly prone to serious accidents due to dangerous equipment, heights, and numerous contractors working simultaneously. We have experience handling cases involving:

Crane accidents
Forklift accidents
Falls from heights
Scaffolding collapses

If you’ve been injured on a construction site, we will investigate to determine if a negligent third party, such as a general contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer, contributed to your injury, thereby opening doors for additional compensation beyond workers’ comp.

Refinery and Plant Accidents – Expertise from BP Texas City to Brazos County:

While Brazos County doesn’t host the massive refineries found along the Gulf Coast, our region has industrial operations and plants where accidents can occur. Our firm’s robust experience, including our involvement in the landmark BP Texas City explosion litigation, positions us as leading advocates for victims of complex industrial accidents. We understand that these cases often involve major corporations and intricate safety regulations. We are prepared to:

Challenge Negligent Practices: We believe that corporations cutting corners on safety at the expense of employee health and lives should be held accountable. We delve into process safety management, maintenance records, and regulatory compliance to expose negligence.
Address Complex Injuries: Injuries from plant accidents can range from chemical burns and respiratory damage to explosions and toxic exposure. We connect you with the necessary medical and scientific experts to build a compelling case.
Confront Major Corporations: Our firm has the resources and litigation capability to take on even the largest national and international industrial companies, ensuring you have a fighting chance for justice.

If you have suffered an injury at your workplace or at an industrial site in Brazos County, it is crucial to seek legal advice immediately. Your employer and their insurance company may try to limit your compensation. Contact Attorney911 for a free consultation to understand your rights and how we can advocate for your full recovery.

Maritime & Offshore Injuries: Serving Brazos County’s Connection to the Gulf

While Brazos County may be inland, many of our residents work in the maritime and offshore industries along the Texas Gulf Coast, from Houston and Galveston to Port Lavaca and Corpus Christi. These vital jobs, while rewarding, carry inherent risks, and injuries sustained on the water demand specialized legal expertise. If you are a deckhand, first mate, captain, seaman, rig worker, or any other offshore professional living in Brazos County and you’ve been injured on a vessel or offshore platform, your rights are protected by specific federal laws that differ significantly from standard workers’ compensation.

At Attorney911, we have extensive experience navigating the complexities of maritime law, ensuring that injured offshore workers receive the full and fair compensation they deserve under federal statutes such as the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act, and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.

Understanding Your Rights Under Maritime Law:

The Jones Act: If you are considered a “seaman” – typically a worker who spends a significant portion of their work time on a vessel in navigation – the Jones Act allows you to sue your employer for negligence if you are injured due to unsafe working conditions, defective equipment, or the negligence of a co-worker. This can lead to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages (past and future), pain and suffering, and vocational rehabilitation. We successfully secured a significant cash settlement for an injured client who required assistance while lifting cargo on a ship, demonstrating our ability to identify negligence and secure results.
Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA): This federal law covers shoreside maritime workers such as longshoremen, harbor workers, shipbuilders, and repairers who are injured on piers, dry docks, or other adjoining areas. Unlike the Jones Act, which requires proving negligence, LHWCA provides no-fault benefits, but the compensation limits and procedures differ from typical state workers’ compensation.
Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA): In tragic cases where an offshore worker’s death occurs on the high seas (typically more than three nautical miles from shore) due to negligence, DOHSA provides a legal framework for family members to recover economic damages, such as loss of financial support.

Why Specialized Maritime Legal Counsel Matters:

Maritime and offshore injury cases are exceptionally complex. They involve specific federal statutes, unique legal precedents, and often require expert testimony on nautical engineering, safety regulations, and offshore operations. Your employer and their insurance carriers will have experienced maritime defense lawyers working to limit their liability.

Our Approach to Offshore Injury Claims:

Comprehensive Investigation: We partner with a robust network of experts including investigators, medical professionals, life care planners, and safety experts to build an irrefutable case. This includes scrutinizing vessel maintenance records, crew logs, safety protocols, and any prior accident reports for vessels operating out of ports like Houston, Freeport, or Corpus Christi.
Challenging Maritime Employers: We are prepared to take on large shipping companies, drilling contractors, and offshore vessel owners. We understand their tactics and are skilled at negotiating powerful settlements or aggressively litigating cases in federal courts, where many maritime personal injury claims are filed. Ralph Manginello’s admission to the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, is particularly advantageous in these federal matters.
Protecting Your Future: Offshore injuries can be catastrophic, leading to long-term disability and loss of earning capacity. We work with economists and vocational rehabilitation specialists to ensure that your demand for compensation fully accounts for your immediate medical needs, future care, and lifetime financial impact.

If you are a Brazos County resident and have suffered an offshore or maritime injury, do not speak with your employer or their insurance company before consulting with an attorney. Early legal intervention is critical to preserving evidence and protecting your rights. Contact Attorney911 for a free initial consultation to discuss your specific situation and learn how we can help.

Navigating Toxic Tort Claims in Brazos County: When Exposure Leads to Injury

Our proximity to major industrial corridors, while bringing economic activity to Texas, also means certain areas can be at risk of exposure to hazardous substances. For Brazos County residents, understanding your rights when you or a loved one has been injured by toxic exposure is incredibly important. If you’ve been affected by harmful chemicals due to another party’s negligence or a defective product, you may have a “toxic tort” claim.

At Attorney911, we are experienced in representing individuals and communities in these complex cases, fighting for compensation for illnesses and injuries caused by toxic exposure. We understand that the effects of toxic exposure can often take years to manifest, making it challenging to link current health issues to past exposure. Our firm is equipped to handle these intricate legal and scientific challenges.

What Constitutes a Toxic Tort Claim?

A toxic tort claim arises when an individual suffers harm due to exposure to a dangerous chemical or substance. These claims can stem from various sources, including:

Water Contamination: Exposure to pollutants in drinking water sources.
Black Mold: Illnesses caused by prolonged exposure to toxic molds in homes or workplaces.
Defective Drugs and Products: Harm resulting from pharmaceuticals that cause unanticipated side effects, or other products containing hazardous materials.
Chemical Exposure: Injuries directly from spills, leaks, or chronic exposure to chemicals in occupational settings or even from nearby industrial operations.

The Complexity of Toxic Tort Litigation:

Toxic tort cases demand a high level of scientific and medical understanding. Proving causation – that your illness or injury was directly caused by a specific toxic exposure – often requires extensive research and expert testimony.

Our Approach to Toxic Tort Cases:

Prioritizing Your Health: Your immediate medical care is our first priority. We help you access the necessary medical evaluations and treatment to document your injuries and begin your road to recovery.
Engaging Leading Experts: We work with a network of environmental scientists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and medical specialists to establish the link between your exposure and your health problems. These experts are crucial in explaining complex scientific concepts in a court of law.
Comprehensive Damage Assessment: We meticulously evaluate all your immediate and future costs, losses, and expenses. This includes current and projected medical bills, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the emotional toll of your exposure.
Individual and Class Action Expertise: Whether you are an individual suffering from exposure or part of a larger group of affected residents, we handle both individual toxic tort claims and class action lawsuits. Our involvement in cases like the BP Texas City explosion litigaton has given us invaluable experience in large-scale, complex claims involving severe toxic exposure and its long-term health consequences.
Holding Negligent Parties Accountable: We aggressively pursue compensation from the parties responsible for the hazardous exposure, whether they are chemical manufacturers, industrial facilities, negligent employers, or product designers.

If you are a resident of Brazos County and believe your health has been impacted by toxic exposure, it is vital to seek legal counsel as soon as possible. The statute of limitations for these claims can be complex, and valuable evidence may degrade over time. Contact Attorney911 for a free consultation to discuss your situation and explore your legal options.

Wrongful Death Claims in Brazos County: Seeking Justice for the Loss of a Loved One

The sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one is an unimaginably painful experience. When that loss is caused by the negligence or wrongful act of another, the grief is often compounded by feelings of anger and profound injustice. In Brazos County, as in all of Texas, if your family has endured such a tragedy, you have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim to hold the responsible parties accountable and seek compensation for your profound losses.

At Attorney911, we approach wrongful death cases with the utmost compassion, empathy, and dedication. We understand that during such a difficult time, families need an advocate who can handle all legal complexities, allowing them space to grieve and heal. Our experienced attorneys are here to shoulder the legal burden, helping Texas families navigate these challenging times.

Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Texas:

A wrongful death claim in Texas allows certain family members (surviving spouse, children, and parents) to seek damages when a person’s death is caused by another’s negligence, carelessness, or wrongful act. This is different from a survival action, which focuses on the damages the deceased suffered between the time of injury and death.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death We Handle:

Drunk Driving Car Accidents: Tragically, impaired driving continues to claim lives on our roads, including here in Brazos County. We meticulously investigate these crashes and pursue justice against negligent drivers, and in some cases, even under Texas’s Dram Shop Law, against establishments that overserved an intoxicated driver.
18-Wheeler Truck Accidents: Collisions with commercial trucks often result in catastrophic injuries and fatalities. Our expertise in complex commercial vehicle regulations and evidence collection allows us to successfully litigate against trucking companies, as evidenced by our securing millions for families in trucking-related wrongful death cases.
Motorcycle Accidents: Due to the lack of protection, motorcyclists are highly vulnerable to fatal injuries in collisions caused by negligent drivers.
Workplace Accidents: Fatalities occurring on construction sites, in industrial plants, or during offshore operations due to unsafe conditions or corporate negligence can lead to wrongful death claims. Our firm’s involvement in the BP explosion litigation underscores our capability in these complex, high-stakes scenarios.
Medical Malpractice: When a healthcare provider’s negligence leads to a patient’s death.

Our Compassionate and Thorough Legal Approach:

Comprehensive Loss Assessment: We work diligently with a network of experts, including economists, vocational rehabilitation specialists, and life care planners, to develop a complete picture of the financial and emotional impact of your loved one’s death. This includes:
- Loss of Financial Support: Calculating the income and benefits the deceased would have provided.
- Loss of Companionship, Society, and Comfort: Valuing the irreplaceable emotional support and love provided by the deceased.
- Mental Anguish: Compensation for the deep emotional suffering of surviving family members.
- Medical Expenses and Funeral Costs: Covering the immediate financial burdens.
Holding Responsible Parties Accountable: We aggressively pursue justice against all negligent parties, whether they are individual drivers, trucking companies, corporations, or medical professionals. Our goal is not only to secure maximum compensation but also to ensure that those responsible are held fully accountable for their actions.
Evidence Preservation: In wrongful death cases, acting quickly is paramount. We immediately work to preserve crucial evidence, identify witnesses, and ensure the integrity of the accident scene to build the strongest possible case.
Guiding You Through Every Step: We handle all aspects of your legal claim, from initial investigation and negotiation to courtroom litigation, allowing you to focus on healing with your family.

If you have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence in Brazos County, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to listen, provide compassionate legal counsel, and tirelessly fight for the justice your family deserves. Contact Attorney911 for a free and confidential consultation.

Our Distinct Advantage: Insider Insurance Knowledge Fighting for Brazos County

In the realm of personal injury law, the difference between a fair settlement and an insufficient one often comes down to understanding the adversary: the insurance company. This is where Attorney911 offers a truly unique and powerful advantage to the residents of Brazos County. Our team, especially Attorney Lupe Peña, leverages invaluable insider knowledge gained from years of working for national insurance defense firms. This deep understanding of how insurance companies operate is not merely beneficial; it is a critical asset for our clients.

Why Our Insider Knowledge is Crucial for You in Brazos County:

Understanding Claims Valuation: Insurance companies employ sophisticated algorithms and adjusters to value claims. They have internal guidelines, formulas, and databases to determine what they believe a case is “worth.” Our experience on the defense side means we know these valuation methods intimately. We understand how they calculate reserves (the money set aside for your claim), and we can identify when they are attempting to undervalue your injuries or losses. This allows us to push back with informed accuracy.
Decoding Defense Strategies: Before joining our client-focused firm, Lupe Peña gained firsthand knowledge of the defense tactics insurance companies use to minimize payouts. This includes strategies like:
- Delay Tactics: Insurance companies often drag out the claims process, hoping that injured individuals will become desperate and accept a low offer. We recognize these tactics and force insurers to act.
- “Independent” Medical Exams (IMEs): These exams, often mandated by insurance companies, are frequently conducted by doctors chosen by the insurer whose objective might be to minimize the severity of your injuries. We know how to prepare our clients for these exams and challenge biased findings.
- Shifting Blame: Insurers frequently try to pin blame on the injured party, even when they are clearly not at fault. Our knowledge of their defense arguments allows us to proactively build evidence to counter these accusations.
- Questioning Necessity of Treatment: They may attempt to argue that certain medical treatments were unnecessary or unrelated to the accident. We work with your medical providers to clearly document the necessity and efficacy of your care.
Effective Negotiation from a Position of Strength: Negotiations are not just about asking for money; they are about presenting a compelling case that the insurance company cannot ignore. Because we understand their pressure points, their internal policies, and their risk assessments, we can negotiate from a truly informed and strong position, compelling them to make fair offers.
Navigating Complex Policies: Commercial insurance policies, especially those covering 18-wheelers, marine vessels, or large industrial plants (relevant to potential claims for Brazos County workers who travel for offshore or industrial jobs), are incredibly complex. Our experience with these specific policies allows us to identify all available coverages and ensure that no avenue for compensation is overlooked.
Prepared for Bad Faith Claims: In some instances, an insurance company may act in “bad faith” by unfairly denying a valid claim or failing to properly investigate it. Our insider perspective allows us to recognize when an insurer is acting improperly and pursue additional legal action if necessary.

Our strategic advantage translates directly into benefits for our Brazos County clients. It means we anticipate the opposition’s moves, build stronger cases rooted in a deep understanding of their system, and ultimately position you for maximum recovery. When you choose Attorney911, you’re not just hiring legal representation; you’re gaining an informed edge against powerful insurance entities.

If you are dealing with an insurance company after an accident or injury in Brazos County, do not navigate their complex system alone. Let our insider knowledge work for you. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your claim and discover how our unique expertise can make a difference in your case.
