Who We Are: Your Trusted Legal Team

Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, and associate attorney, Lupe Peña, bring a wealth of diverse knowledge and a singular focus: to powerfully represent individuals in their greatest legal challenges.
Ralph Manginello: A Native Texan with Deep Roots and Unwavering Dedication
Ralph Manginello, the visionary behind Attorney911, is a true Texan at heart, having moved here at the age of five and growing up in the Memorial area of Houston. His ties to Houston, and by extension, the broader Texas community that includes City of Taylor Lake Village, are deep. Ralph’s educational journey took him from Hunters Creek Elementary, Awty International School, and Memorial High School, to Cheshire Academy in Connecticut where he graduated with honors. He then returned to his beloved Texas to earn his B.A. in Journalism from the University of Texas at Austin and his Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law Houston.
Admitted to the Texas State Bar since 1998 and the New York State Bar Association, Ralph possesses over two decades of legal experience. His admission to the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, underscores his capability in handling complex federal litigation. As a proud member of the Houston Bar Association and the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA), Ralph’s commitment to the legal community and his clients is undeniable. He founded his personal injury law firm in 2001 with a clear purpose: to ensure that individuals facing legal emergencies receive immediate, aggressive, and professional help from someone they can inherently trust. He is driven by a genuine passion for helping people, a passion that resonates with every case we undertake for the residents of City of Taylor Lake Village.
Lupe Peña: Insider Knowledge and a Relentless Pursuit of Justice
Lupe Peña, a third-generation Texan born and raised in Sugar Land, brings a uniquely valuable perspective to Attorney911. After earning his B.B.A. in International Business from Saint Mary’s University in San Antonio, Lupe spent several years in finance, gaining a keen understanding of intricate financial systems. This background, coupled with his Juris Doctor from South Texas College of Law Houston, provides him with a distinctive insight into valuing claims and navigating complex financial aspects of legal cases.
Licensed in Texas since 2012 and also admitted to the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, Lupe’s journey involved working for a number of years at a national defense firm. This experience was invaluable, as it allowed him to learn firsthand how large insurance companies operate, evaluate claims, and strategize. Armed with this “insider” knowledge, Lupe transitioned to the plaintiff’s side, dedicating his expertise to those harmed by negligence. He is a skilled negotiator and trial attorney who has successfully recovered millions for his clients in wrongful death, dram shop, trucking accidents, and car crash cases. His commitment to outworking, outsmarting, and outfighting the opposition makes him a formidable advocate for our clients in City of Taylor Lake Village, particularly those who have been injured or wronged. Fluent in Spanish, Lupe also serves as a vital bridge for our Spanish-speaking clients, ensuring clear communication and culturally sensitive representation.

However, even in such tranquil surroundings, legal emergencies can arise. Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of a car accident on a local road, facing criminal charges, or dealing with a complex personal injury claim that could impact your family’s future, understanding your rights is the first step toward securing justice.
Our firm is equipped to assist you in a wide array of legal areas, always with an eye toward the specific circumstances that affect individuals and businesses in City of Taylor Lake Village. We understand the local context, from the typical traffic patterns on NASA Parkway and other local arteries to the particular industrial presence that might affect certain injury cases in greater Harris County.
Your Advocates in Personal Injury Cases: Securing Compensation for the Injured
If you or a loved one in City of Taylor Lake Village has been injured due to another’s negligence, we are here to help. Our personal injury practice is built on a foundation of aggressive advocacy and meticulous preparation. We recognize that an injury can dramatically alter your life, leading to medical bills, lost wages, and profound pain and suffering. We are committed to meticulously building your case, leveraging our network of experts, and confronting insurance companies from a position of strength.
Car Accidents in City of Taylor Lake Village and Beyond
Car accidents can happen anywhere, even on the quiet streets around Taylor Lake. A momentary lapse in judgment by another driver can lead to devastating consequences.
We have extensive experience representing car accident victims. Insurance companies are businesses, and their primary goal is to minimize payouts. We know their tactics because we’ve seen them from both sides. We work diligently to document property damage, lost income, medical and rehabilitation expenses, and compensation for pain and suffering. Should the insurance company refuse a fair settlement, we do not hesitate to take your case to trial, as evidenced by our excellent record of success in litigating numerous similar cases. Our experience includes multi-million dollar settlements for clients, such as one case where our client’s leg was severely injured in a car accident, leading to a partial amputation due to staff infections during treatment. This complex case, settled for millions, highlights our commitment to securing positive outcomes for our clients involved in serious accidents.
18-Wheeler & Big Rig Accidents: Navigating Complex Claims
The major transportation corridors crisscrossing Texas, including those within reach of City of Taylor Lake Village, mean that catastrophic 18-wheeler and big rig accidents are a stark reality. These cases are inherently complex, involving severe injuries, significant property damage, and intricate aspects of personal injury law, trucking and transportation law, and even interstate commerce law.
Our team, including experts like Lupe Peña with his insurance defense background, is adept at handling the complex commercial insurance policies often associated with semi-trucks. We bring in a diverse network of experts, from medical providers to accident reconstructionists, to provide compelling testimony. Our comprehensive evidence collection process includes meticulously examining truck maintenance records, driving records, drivers’ logs, and cell phone records to build successful cases against negligent truck drivers and trucking companies. We have helped numerous individuals and families recover millions, including those facing trucking-related wrongful death cases, securing the compensation they desperately need and deserve.
Motorcycle Accidents: Protecting Riders’ Rights
Motorcyclists enjoy the same rights on the road as any other driver, yet they often face unfair biases and suffer far more serious injuries in collisions. Drivers frequently claim they simply “didn’t see” a motorcycle they struck, but this is no excuse for negligence. At Attorney911, we are fierce advocates for injured bikers in City of Taylor Lake Village and across Texas. We understand the specific types of injuries common in motorcycle accidents, such as road rash burns, closed head injuries, brain or spinal cord injuries, and even loss of limbs. We aggressively hold negligent drivers accountable, fighting for comprehensive compensation that covers property damage, lost income (both present and future), medical and rehabilitation expenses, and the profound pain and suffering you endure.
Offshore Injuries & Maritime Law: Specialized Advocacy for Seamen and Workers
For those in City of Taylor Lake Village whose livelihoods are connected to the maritime industries of the Gulf Coast, an injury at sea or on an offshore rig can be particularly devastating. Whether you are a deckhand, first mate, captain, seaman, oilfield services worker, or rig hand, injuries sustained on a ship, oil rig, or other offshore vessel fall under specialized legal frameworks.
We have successfully resolved numerous offshore injury cases under crucial maritime laws such as the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act, and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. Our expertise allows us to navigate these complex statutes, working with a highly skilled network of professionals including nurses, investigators, life care planners, accident reconstructionists, medical care providers, economists, vocational rehabilitation specialists, and safety experts. This collaborative approach ensures we build the strongest possible case on your behalf. For instance, in a recent case, we secured a significant cash settlement for a client who injured his back while lifting cargo on a ship, proving he should have received assistance. If you’ve been injured on a freighter, tug, tanker, rig, barge, or other vessel, it is crucial to contact an offshore accident attorney as soon as possible, and before settling directly with an employer or insurance company.
Workers’ Compensation: Defending Injured Employees
The workers’ compensation system is designed to protect employees injured on the job, but its complexities often leave injured workers feeling overwhelmed and unfairly treated. In Texas, the system has unique aspects, including the option for employers to “opt-out” of traditional workers’ compensation, leading to non-subscriber claims that require a different legal approach.
If you suffer an on-the-job injury or develop an occupational illness in City of Taylor Lake Village or anywhere in Texas, prompt notification to your employer and immediate medical treatment are crucial. We understand the specific requirements and deadlines that vary by state. Our experienced workplace accident attorneys are here to protect your benefits and defend you should they be refused. We have a robust track record of recovering millions for various workplace injuries, including a multi-million dollar settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury and vision loss when a log was dropped on him at a logging company. We are here every step of the way to ensure your rights are protected.
Construction Accidents: Pursuing Third-Party Claims
Construction sites, including those in the thriving Harris County area surrounding City of Taylor Lake Village, are inherently dangerous environments. While workers’ compensation provides a safety net, injured construction workers may often have additional recourse through third-party personal injury claims. This is a critical distinction that can significantly increase your compensation.
Texas law generally prevents you from suing your employer or a co-worker directly for a workplace injury. However, construction sites typically involve multiple companies, contractors, and subcontractors. If a third party’s negligence led to your injury – perhaps due to a faulty crane, a dangerous forklift, insufficient scaffolding, or other hazards causing falls from heights – you can pursue a personal injury claim against them, potentially securing compensation above and beyond your workers’ compensation benefits. We specialize in examining these complex construction accident cases to identify all responsible parties and maximize your recovery.
Refinery & Plant Accidents: Standing Up to Industrial Giants
The Gulf Coast of Texas, with its concentration of refineries, chemical plants, and industrial facilities, unfortunately, sees its share of catastrophic accidents. The lessons learned from tragedies like the BP Texas City explosion in 2005, an incident in which our firm was one of the few in Texas to be involved in the litigation, underscore the critical need for experienced legal representation after such events.
Manufacturing plants and chemical refineries too often prioritize cost-cutting over employee safety. We firmly believe that individuals injured due to negligent practices deserve full financial compensation and that responsible parties must be held accountable. Our invaluable experience has prepared us to provide immediate legal assistance against even the largest international industrial and refinery companies. If you’ve been injured in an on-the-job refinery or industrial accident, particularly in regions like Pasadena, Baytown, or Texas City, our team is ready to address your legal rights and navigate the complexities of such litigation.
Toxic Tort Claims: Seeking Justice for Exposure
Exposure to toxic chemicals, whether from water contamination, black mold, defective drugs, or other forms of chemical exposure, can lead to devastating and lifelong injuries and disabilities. If such exposure occurred due to another party’s negligence or a defective product, you have the right to seek compensation through a “toxic tort” claim.
The long-term effects of toxic exposure can take years to manifest, making it challenging to establish a direct link between your injuries and a specific source of exposure. We possess the expertise to handle these intricate cases, both on an individual basis and as class actions. Our priority is to help you access the medical care you need and then meticulously assess all your immediate and future costs, losses, and expenses to ensure they are fully accounted for in your demand for compensation.
Wrongful Death Claims: Compassionate Advocacy for Grieving Families
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is an unimaginable tragedy, and the legal process should be the last thing on a grieving family’s mind. At Attorney911, we offer compassionate yet fierce legal representation to Texas families who have endured such a loss. We handle every aspect of your legal claim, allowing you the space to grieve without the added burden of legal complexities.
We work closely with economists and other experts to create a comprehensive picture of the financial impact of your loved one’s death. This includes not only lost wages but also the profound non-economic damages such as pain and suffering and the invaluable loss of companionship and support. Whether the cause was a drunk driving car accident, a motorcycle accident, an 18-wheeler truck accident, or medical malpractice, it is critical to act quickly to preserve evidence, identify witnesses, and maintain the integrity of the accident scene. We are here to guide you through these most difficult times.
Insurance Claims: Fighting for What You’re Owed
Insurance companies are profit-driven entities that often prioritize their bottom line by minimizing or denying valid claims. This is a reality we understand intimately, especially given Lupe Peña’s experience working for national defense firms where he learned the playbook of how insurance companies value claims. We know how they think, how they strategize, and how they attempt to devalue your losses.
Whether you’re dealing with a residential property dispute, a commercial insurance claim, or a fight over underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage, we stand ready to challenge unfair practices. We understand the nuances of policy language, the tactics of claims adjusters, and the legal avenues available to compel insurance companies to honor their obligations. Our goal is to ensure you receive the full and fair compensation you are entitled to under your policy.
Aggressive Defense in Criminal Cases: Protecting Your Freedoms
Facing criminal charges in City of Taylor Lake Village or anywhere in Texas can be a terrifying and life-altering experience. The consequences of a conviction can extend far beyond fines and jail time, impacting your reputation, employment, and future opportunities. At Attorney911, our criminal defense practice is dedicated to providing an aggressive, strategic defense to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future.
DWI/DUI Defense: Strategic and Experienced Representation
Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charges are serious in Texas, carrying severe penalties that can include license suspension, hefty fines, and incarceration, even on a first offense. Before considering a plea, paying fines, or risking a criminal record, consulting with an experienced DWI defense attorney is paramount. We have handled hundreds of DWI/DUI cases, deploying a broad range of defense tactics to challenge the prosecution’s evidence.
Ralph Manginello’s membership in the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA) underscores his commitment and expertise in this critical area. We work to prevent driver’s license suspension and can fight for your rights even if you refused a breath test. Our track record includes significant victories, such as a case where a DWI charge based on a breath test was dismissed because we proved police department employees were not properly maintaining breathalyzer machines. In another complex case, a DWI charge was dismissed on the day of trial after we revealed crucial missing evidence and procedural errors by law enforcement. We even secured dismissal in a case where the state’s primary evidence was a video field sobriety test where our client appeared intoxicated — demonstrating our ability to find flaws even in seemingly strong evidence.
Comprehensive Criminal Defense: A Full Spectrum of Protection
When you are accused of a crime, it’s easy to feel as though the system is against you, and conviction is inevitable. However, a conviction is not a foregone conclusion. We have successfully defended hundreds of drug cases and have helped numerous individuals across Texas effectively fight and beat their drug charges. We are skilled at defending against accusations of drug possession (including marijuana, cocaine, crystal meth, crack cocaine, heroin, and ecstasy), drug trafficking, and drug manufacturing.
Our defense strategies are robust, often involving challenging the legality of probable cause, illegal search and seizure, and other constitutional infringements. For example, in a recent drug case where police illegally entered our client’s home and found a large quantity of drugs, we successfully arranged for deferred adjudication. This resulted in no jail time for our client, with charges to be dismissed if court rules were followed, despite facing a potential sentence of 5 to 99 years.
Our comprehensive criminal defense services extend to a wide range of offenses, including:
- Animal Cruelty
- Assault Crimes, including Assault Family Violence, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence
- Driving with an Invalid License
- Elder Abuse
- Expunctions (clearing your record)
- Extortion
- Fake I.D. or False Impersonation
- Firearms Offenses
- Fraud
- Hit and Run
- Homicide-Murder
- Internet Crimes
- Kidnapping
- Public Intoxication
- Sexual Assault
