Ralph Manginello: Managing Partner and Founder
Ralph Manginello, the visionary behind Attorney911, is a native New Yorker who moved to Texas at the age of five and grew up right here in the Memorial area of Houston. His deep roots in our community are evident in his commitment to the people of Hunters Creek Village and surrounding areas. Ralph attended Hunters Creek Elementary, Awty International School, and Memorial High School, giving him an intimate understanding of the local community and its values. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in Journalism and earning his Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law Houston, Ralph began practicing law in 1998, founding his own personal injury law firm in 2001.
Ralph’s impressive legal career is marked by his admission to the Texas State Bar and the New York State Bar Association, as well as the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas. He is an active member of the Houston Bar Association and the prestigious Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA), affiliations that underscore his elite capabilities in both civil and criminal defense matters. His passion for justice and helping those in need drives the firm’s mission, ensuring every client receives immediate, aggressive, and professional assistance. Ralph’s connection to Hunters Creek Village, having grown up here, provides an invaluable local perspective that few other attorneys can offer.
Lupe Peña: Associate Attorney and Insider Edge
Lupe Peña brings a critical and distinct advantage to Attorney911 clients: an insider’s perspective on insurance company tactics. A third-generation Texan born and raised in Sugar Land, Lupe earned his B.B.A. in International Business from Saint Mary’s University in San Antonio before pursuing his Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law Houston. Licensed in Texas since 2012, Lupe’s early career included several years in finance, followed by significant experience working for a national defense firm. This invaluable time spent defending insurance companies provided him with firsthand knowledge of how these corporations value claims, strategize negotiations, and approach litigation.
Recognizing his true calling to advocate for the injured, Lupe transitioned to the plaintiff’s side, where he has since recovered millions for his clients in complex cases involving wrongful death, dram shop liability, trucking accidents, and car crashes. His fluency in Spanish also enables Attorney911 to effectively serve a broader demographic within Texas. Lupe’s strategic thinking, honed from working both sides of the aisle, ensures our clients in Hunters Creek Village benefit from a comprehensive and powerful legal approach, designed to anticipate and counter the opposition’s moves.

Navigating Personal Injury in Hunters Creek Village: Fighting for Your Recovery
When an unforeseen accident or a negligent act causes you harm in Hunters Creek Village, the path to recovery can be daunting. We are here to lift that burden, meticulously handling every aspect of your personal injury claim so you can focus on healing. Our deep knowledge of Texas law, combined with our strategic approach, is geared towards securing the maximum compensation you deserve.
-
Car Accidents: Accidents on the thoroughfares like Katy Freeway (I-10), Loop 610, or even local roads within Hunters Creek Village can be devastating. Insurance companies are skilled at minimizing payouts. We understand their tactics. Our firm meticulously investigates accident scenes, collaborates with accident reconstructionists, and utilizes a broad network of medical and financial experts to build an unassailable case. We are adept at negotiating from a position of strength and are always prepared to take your case to trial if a fair settlement is not offered. For instance, in a recent case, our client’s leg was severely injured in a car accident, leading to a partial amputation due to staff infections during treatment. Our diligent efforts led to a multi-million dollar settlement, ensuring their long-term care and financial stability.
-
18-Wheeler & Big Rig Accidents: The presence of large commercial vehicles on nearby major highways such as I-10 and Beltway 8 means Hunters Creek Village residents are not immune to the severe consequences of 18-wheeler accidents. These cases are inherently complex, involving intricate federal and state trucking regulations, commercial insurance policies, and often catastrophic injuries. Our team specializes in these challenging cases, leveraging our experience in personal injury, trucking law, and interstate commerce law. We thoroughly examine truck maintenance records, driver logs, cell phone data, and conduct extensive investigations to reveal negligence. We have helped numerous individuals and families facing trucking-related wrongful death cases recover millions of dollars in compensation, addressing medical bills, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
-
Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists often face unfair biases, and the severe injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents are frequently dismissed by negligent drivers and their insurers. Drivers often claim they “didn’t see” a motorcycle, but the law requires all drivers to be aware of other vehicles on the road. We are fierce advocates for injured bikers in Hunters Creek Village, ensuring their rights are protected. We pursue comprehensive compensation for property damage, lost income, future medical needs, and the significant pain and suffering associated with injuries like road rash burns, closed head injuries, brain or spinal cord injuries, or even the tragic wrongful death of a loved one.
-
Offshore Injuries & Maritime Law: While Hunters Creek Village is inland, many of our residents work in the vital energy sector of the Gulf Coast. If you are a deckhand, rig hand, seaman, or offshore worker injured on a ship, oil rig, or other vessel, you need specialized legal counsel. We have extensive experience resolving offshore injury cases under specific federal maritime laws such as the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act, and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. Our network of experts, including investigators, life care planners, and safety experts, helps us build robust cases. For example, we secured a significant cash settlement for a client who suffered a back injury while lifting cargo on a ship, demonstrating that proper assistance should have been provided.
-
Workers’ Compensation: Workplace injuries can be physically and financially devastating. The Texas workers’ compensation system, while designed to protect injured employees, can be complex and often feels stacked against the worker. We guide Hunters Creek Village employees through this intricate process, ensuring proper notification to employers, adherence to deadlines, and the pursuit of prompt medical treatment. We are adept at challenging benefit refusals and have recovered millions for various workplace injuries. In one significant case, a client working at a logging company suffered a brain injury with vision loss when a log was dropped, resulting in a multi-million dollar settlement that transformed their future.
-
Construction Accidents: Construction sites, whether for new developments in Hunters Creek Village or larger projects in Greater Houston, inherently carry risks. While workers’ compensation provides a safety net, injured workers often have the right to pursue additional compensation through third-party claims against negligent contractors, subcontractors, or equipment manufacturers. These claims can provide compensation above and beyond typical workers’ comp benefits. We are skilled at identifying all responsible parties and holding them accountable for crane accidents, forklift incidents, falls from heights, scaffolding collapses, and other serious construction-related injuries.
-
Refinery & Plant Accidents: The Gulf Coast is home to numerous refineries and industrial plants, and negligence can lead to catastrophic accidents. Our firm possesses unique and proven experience in this highly specialized area, notably being involved in the landmark BP Texas City explosion litigation. We understand that plants sometimes cut corners, prioritizing profit over safety, leading to tragic consequences. We are prepared to provide immediate legal assistance and combat even the largest international industrial and refinery companies to ensure injured employees receive financial compensation and that negligent parties are held responsible.
-
Toxic Tort Claims: Exposure to hazardous chemicals or substances due to negligence can lead to severe, long-term health issues. Whether through water contamination, black mold, defective drugs, or direct chemical exposure, such injuries can be difficult to trace and prove. We handle complex toxic tort claims, both individual and class action, ensuring our clients receive the necessary medical care first, then meticulously building a case to maximize compensation for immediate and future costs, losses, and expenses.
-
Wrongful Death Claims: The loss of a loved one due to another’s negligence is an unbearable tragedy. While legal action can never truly heal the emotional pain, it can secure your financial future and provide a sense of justice. We approach wrongful death cases with profound empathy, handling every legal detail so families in Hunters Creek Village can focus on grieving. Collaborating with economists and other experts, we assess the full financial impact, ensuring compensation for pain and suffering, loss of relationship, lost wages, and all other experienced losses. It’s crucial to act quickly to preserve evidence and identify witnesses in these sensitive cases.
-
Insurance Claims (Disputes): Our firm understands the inner workings of insurance companies from an unparalleled perspective. As Lupe Peña’s background exemplifies, we know that insurers make billions by collecting premiums and then seeking to minimize payouts when claims arise. Whether it’s outright denial, undervaluation, or bad faith practices, we are tenacious advocates for policyholders in Hunters Creek Village who are battling their own insurance companies. We stand up to these powerful entities, ensuring you receive the compensation you legitimately deserve.
Unyielding Criminal Defense in Hunters Creek Village: Protecting Your Freedom and Future

Attorney911 offers robust and aggressive criminal defense representation, guided by a deep understanding of Texas criminal law and courtroom strategy.

-
DWI/DUI Defense: A DWI or DUI charge in the Hunters Creek Village area carries severe consequences, including potential license suspension, hefty fines, and a criminal record. Our firm has successfully handled hundreds of these cases throughout Texas. We meticulously investigate every detail, from the legality of the initial stop to the proper maintenance of breathalyzer equipment and the administration of field sobriety tests. Our strategies have led to numerous dismissals, even for clients who initially appeared impaired or refused a breath test. We work tirelessly to prevent license suspension and protect your rights, utilizing defenses such as lack of probable cause, illegal search and seizure, and challenges to constitutional procedures. For example, we achieved a dismissal for a client when our investigation revealed improper breathalyzer maintenance by the police department, demonstrating a lack of reliable evidence against our client.
-
Comprehensive Criminal Defense: Beyond DWI, our firm provides comprehensive criminal defense for a wide array of charges. We understand that facing drug charges, assault, theft, or other serious offenses can make you feel powerless. However, a conviction is never inevitable. With Ralph Manginello’s HCCLA membership and federal court experience, we are exceptionally qualified to defend your rights. We challenge the prosecution’s evidence using strategies focused on probable cause, illegal search and seizure, and other constitutional protections. Our track record includes helping clients facing severe penalties. In one notable case, a client facing 5 to 99 years in jail for drug possession secured deferred adjudication, allowing for the dismissal of charges if court rules are followed, avoiding any jail time.
Our criminal defense expertise extends to:
* Drug Possession, Trafficking, and Manufacturing (Marijuana, Cocaine, Meth, Heroin, Ecstasy)
