Ralph Manginello: Managing Partner, Deep Texas Roots, and Elite Legal Acumen

Ralph Manginello, our Managing Partner, embodies the spirit of our “Legal Emergency Lawyers™” brand. His journey from a childhood in Houston to becoming a respected legal professional with over two decades of experience showcases a deep commitment to the people of Texas.

A Texan by Heart, A Lawyer by Calling

Though born in New York, Ralph moved to Texas at the age of five and grew up in the Memorial area of Houston. His education, spanning from Hunters Creek Elementary to Memorial High School and the University of Texas at Austin for his B.A. in Journalism, established deep connections within the state. This personal history means Ralph understands the values and perspectives of Texans, including those residing in communities like Burleson County.

His legal education at South Texas College of Law Houston culminated in a Juris Doctor, and he has been a practicing attorney since 1998. In 2001, he founded his own personal injury law firm, laying the groundwork for what would become Attorney911.

A Champion in the Courtroom and Beyond

Ralph’s professional credentials speak volumes about his capability:

• Bar Admissions: Texas State Bar (since 1998) and the New York State Bar Association.
• Federal Court Experience: Admitted to the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, highlighting his ability to handle complex litigation at the federal level. This is particularly relevant for cases involving federal regulations, such as certain commercial trucking accidents or maritime claims that might touch Burleson County.
• Professional Memberships: Membership in the Houston Bar Association and, notably, the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA). His HCCLA membership signals an elite level of experience and capability in criminal defense, ensuring robust representation for those facing charges in Burleson County.

Ralph’s personal motivation resonates deeply with our firm’s mission: “He has a passion for helping people and started Attorney911 to make sure people suffering from a legal emergency received immediate, aggressive, and professional help from someone they could trust.” This passion drives his strategic, results-oriented approach to litigation.

His athletic achievements, including being a starting point guard on a New England Prep School championship team and an upcoming induction into the Cheshire Academy Hall of Fame, reflect a competitive spirit and dedication that he brings to every case.

Why Ralph’s Expertise Matters to Burleson County:

• Complex Litigation: Ralph’s experience in federal court and his firm’s specific involvement in the BP Texas City explosion litigation mean he is uniquely qualified to handle the most intricate personal injury and plant accident cases, which can unfortunately occur in areas around Burleson County with industrial or energy-related activities.
• Aggressive Criminal Defense: For individuals facing criminal charges, Ralph’s deep roots in criminal defense, underscored by his HCCLA membership, provide a formidable defense strategy. He understands how to navigate the Texas legal system to protect the rights and futures of those accused.
• Deep State Knowledge: Having spent most of his life and career in Texas, Ralph possesses an intuitive understanding of the state’s legal landscape, judicial personalities, and community values that are invaluable for our clients in Burleson County.

Lupe Peña: Associate Attorney, Insider Insurance Knowledge, and Bilingual Advocacy

Lupe Peña brings a unique and invaluable perspective to Attorney911, particularly his “insider” knowledge of the insurance industry. His background and skills are a significant asset for any personal injury client in Burleson County seeking to challenge powerful insurance companies.

A Texas Native with a Unique Path to Justice

A proud 3rd generation Texan with roots tying to the historic King Ranch, Lupe was born and raised in Sugar Land. His educational journey took him to Saint Mary’s University in San Antonio, where he earned a B.B.A. in International Business, before pursuing his Juris Doctor at South Texas College of Law Houston. Licensed in Texas since 2012, Lupe’s career trajectory provides him with distinct advantages:

• Finance Background: Before law school, Lupe worked in finance for several years. This background gives him a robust understanding of economic principles, valuation, and financial analysis – skills that are directly applicable to assessing damages, lost wages, and future economic impacts in large personal injury claims.
• Insurance Defense Insider: Critically, Lupe “worked for a number of years at a national defense firm, learning firsthand how large insurance companies value claims.” This experience is a game-changer. He understands the strategies, tactics, and internal processes insurance companies use to minimize payouts. He knows their playbooks because he helped write them. This insider knowledge allows us to anticipate their moves, counter their arguments effectively, and negotiate from a position of strength for our clients.
• Plaintiff Success: After gaining invaluable experience on the defense side, Lupe transitioned to the plaintiff’s side, where he has since “recovered millions for his clients.” His expertise spans wrongful death, dram shop, trucking accidents, and car crashes – all types of cases that can impact Burleson County residents.

Key Strengths and Why They Benefit Burleson County:

• Unparalleled Negotiation: Lupe’s experience against large insurance companies makes him a skilled negotiator and trial attorney. He is “willing to outwork, outsmart and outfight the other side,” ensuring our clients receive full and fair compensation.
• Bilingual Advantage: Lupe “speaks fluent Spanish,” a crucial asset in communities across Texas. For our Spanish-speaking clients in Burleson County, this allows for direct, clear communication, ensuring every detail of their case is understood and no nuance is lost in translation.
• Comprehensive Case Handling: His ability to handle a wide range of complex personal injury cases, combined with his dedication to keeping clients informed at every stage, makes him a trusted advocate.

Together, Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña form a powerful legal team, offering Burleson County residents a blend of aggressive advocacy, insider knowledge, and deep Texas understanding. When you choose Attorney911, you are not just hiring lawyers; you are gaining dedicated partners committed to securing the best possible outcome for your legal emergency.

Personal Injury Practice Areas: Comprehensive Advocacy for Burleson County Residents

Life in Burleson County, while often tranquil, is not immune to the unforeseen traumas of personal injury. From the busy roads connecting Caldwell and Somerville to local workplaces and even the quiet enjoyment of day-to-day life, accidents can happen in an instant, often leaving victims with severe physical, emotional, and financial burdens. At Attorney911, our personal injury practice is built to shoulder these burdens and fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.

We operate on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases: we don’t get paid unless we win yours. This commitment means you can pursue your claim without upfront financial stress, knowing that our success is tied directly to securing a favorable outcome for you.

Our attorneys leverage a broad network of experts – including accident reconstructionists, medical specialists, and economists – to meticulously build each case. We are skilled negotiators, striving to achieve fair settlements whenever possible to save you the expense and delay of trial. However, if insurance companies refuse to make a fair offer, we will not hesitate to take your case to court, where we have an excellent record of success.

Below, we detail the range of personal injury matters we handle for our Burleson County clients:

Car Accidents in Burleson County

Car accidents are unfortunately a common occurrence, even on the quieter roads of Burleson County. Whether it’s a rear-end collision on Highway 21, a side-impact crash at a rural intersection, or a multi-vehicle pile-up, the consequences can be devastating.

Insurance companies are profit-driven entities designed to collect premiums and minimize payouts. They make billions by minimizing customer compensation. We counteract this by negotiating from a position of strength, armed with a deep understanding of their tactics from former defense attorney Lupe Peña’s experience.

We handle all aspects of your car accident claim, from property damage to complex bodily injury, including:

• Negotiating with Insurers: We challenge lowball offers and fight for the true value of your claim.
• Building Your Case: Utilizing medical records, police reports, and expert testimony, we establish liability and quantify your damages.
• Seeking Full Compensation: This includes medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
• Real-World Impact: In a recent case, our client suffered a leg injury in a car accident that, due to complications, led to a partial amputation. Our firm secured a multi-million dollar settlement, ensuring their future medical care and quality of life were protected. This demonstrates our capacity to handle profoundly serious injury cases with successful outcomes.

18-Wheeler & Big Rig Accidents on Burleson County Roads

Burleson County sits at a crossroads for commercial traffic, with major state highways like 36 and 21 seeing significant 18-wheeler movement. When these massive vehicles are involved in accidents, the resulting injuries and property damage are often catastrophic.

These cases are far more complex than typical car accidents, involving specialized laws (trucking and transportation law, interstate commerce law) and commercial insurance policies. Our team are truck accident specialists, equipped to navigate these intricate layers.

Our approach to 18-wheeler accidents involves:

• Comprehensive Investigation: We immediately gather crucial evidence, including truck maintenance records, driver logs, cell phone data, and “black box” information. We often employ accident reconstructionists to meticulously recreate the incident.
• Challenging Commercial Insurers: We understand the nuances of the complex commercial insurance policies that cover semi-trucks, leveraging our “insider” knowledge to ensure fair valuation.
• Fighting for Maximum Recovery: We aim to recover compensation for severe injuries and wrongful death, as seen in our help for numerous individuals and families facing trucking-related wrongful death cases, recovering millions of dollars.
• Addressing Your Concerns: We are ready to answer your questions regarding medical bills, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and compensation for mobility issues and pain and suffering following a trucking accident in Burleson County.

Motorcycle Accidents: Protecting Riders’ Rights

Motorcyclists enjoy the open roads of Burleson County, but they are also uniquely vulnerable in collisions. Drivers often claim they “didn’t see” a motorcycle, an unacceptable excuse given their responsibility to be aware of all vehicles.

We protect the rights of injured bikers aggressively, understanding the severe injuries commonly sustained, including:

• “Road rash” burns and permanent scarring
• Closed head injury, brain injury, or spinal cord injury
• Loss of a limb
• Wrongful death

We work to ensure injured motorcyclists and their families receive full and fair compensation covering property damage, lost income, medical expenses, rehabilitation, and significant pain and suffering. We hold negligent drivers responsible, ensuring Texas motorcyclists receive the justice they deserve.

Offshore Injuries & Maritime Law: Specialized Expertise

While Burleson County is inland, many residents travel for work in Texas’s vital maritime and energy sectors. If you are a deckhand, rig hand, captain, seaman, or offshore worker injured on a ship, oil rig, or other offshore vessel or location, your case falls under different legal frameworks.

We have extensive experience resolving offshore injury cases under:

• The Jones Act: Specific protections for seamen.
• The Death on the High Seas Act: Addressing fatalities in international waters.
• The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act: Covering dock and harbor workers.

We work with specialized experts (nurses, investigators, life care planners, maritime safety experts) to build your case. In a significant example, our client injured his back lifting cargo on a ship; our investigation proved he should have had assistance, leading to a significant cash settlement. If you are injured on a freighter, tug, tanker, rig, or barge, contact us immediately for a free consultation before settling with your employer or insurer.

Workers’ Compensation: Protecting Injured Employees

If you’re injured on the job in Burleson County, the Texas workers’ compensation system is designed to protect you, but it’s often complex and can be unfair to injured employees. Prompt notification to your employer and immediate medical treatment, making sure to inform your doctor the injury is work-related, are crucial first steps.

Texas is unique in that employers can “opt-out” of the traditional workers’ compensation system, leading to complex “non-subscriber” cases where direct lawsuits against the employer are possible. Our expertise helps navigate these intricacies.

We help injured workers:

• Successfully file claims and secure benefits.
• Protect benefits from refusal or reduction.
• Potentially pursue third-party claims against negligent parties beyond your employer.

Our firm has recovered millions for workplace injuries. For instance, a client who suffered a brain injury and vision loss when a log was dropped on him at a logging company received a multi-million dollar settlement. We are here to guide you through every step.

Construction Accidents: Third-Party Liability Matters

Construction sites in and around Burleson County, whether for new commercial developments, infrastructure projects, or residential growth, are inherently dangerous. While workers’ compensation covers on-the-job injuries, significant additional compensation may be available through third-party personal injury claims.

If a contractor, subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or any entity other than your direct employer or co-worker was responsible for the conditions leading to your injury, you can file a personal injury claim. This allows for compensation above and beyond typical workers’ comp benefits.

We investigate to determine who was truly at fault in accidents involving:

• Crane accidents
• Forklift accidents
• Falls from heights
• Scaffolding collapses

If you’ve been injured on a Burleson County construction site, let us examine your case to identify all responsible parties and maximize your recovery.

Refinery & Plant Accidents: Holding Corporations Accountable

While Burleson County may not host massive petrochemical complexes, its proximity to industrial corridors means residents may work in or commute through areas with plants and refineries. Our firm has extensive experience with these highly complex and often catastrophic accident cases.

We are notably one of the few firms in Texas involved in the BP Texas City explosion litigation. This firsthand experience provides us with unparalleled insight into:

• Corporate Negligence: How cost-cutting measures can lead to devastating consequences.
• Complex Investigation: The need for immediate legal assistance and expert teams to challenge large international industrial companies.
• Accountability: We believe negligent parties must be held responsible for their actions and compensate those injured.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an on-the-job refinery or industrial accident, know that we have the experience to provide immediate and impactful legal assistance, fighting for your rights and ensuring negligent parties are held accountable.

Toxic Tort Claims: When Exposure Causes Harm

Exposure to toxic chemicals, whether from water contamination, hazardous materials at a workplace, or defective products, can lead to severe, long-term injuries and disabilities. These “toxic tort” claims often require extensive medical and scientific evidence due to the delayed onset or complex causal links.

We handle toxic tort claims involving:

• Water contamination
• Black mold exposure
• Defective drugs
• Chemical exposure

The most critical step is seeking immediate medical care. Our focus then shifts to maximizing your compensation, meticulously examining all immediate and future costs, losses, and expenses to include in your claim. We pursue both individual and class action toxic tort claims, ensuring justice for those harmed by another party’s negligence, even when the effects take years to manifest.

Wrongful Death Claims: Compassionate & Comprehensive Legal Support

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful act is an unimaginable tragedy. For families in Burleson County, this loss can be compounded by confusion over legal processes and financial strain. We offer compassionate yet aggressive legal support, handling every aspect of your wrongful death claim so you can focus on healing.

We assess all factors contributing to your loss, working with economists and other experts to paint a comprehensive picture of the financial and emotional impact, including:

• Economic Damages: Lost wages, lost inheritance, funeral and burial expenses.
• Non-Economic Damages: Pain and suffering, loss of companionship, mental anguish, and emotional distress.

We handle wrongful death cases arising from:

• Drunk driving car accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• 18-wheeler truck accidents
• Medical malpractice

It is crucial to act quickly to preserve evidence, identify witnesses, and maintain the integrity of the accident scene. Let us relieve you of the legal burden, securing the justice and financial security your family deserves.

Insurance Claims: Fighting for What’s Right

Beyond direct negligence claims, we also assist Burleson County residents with challenging insurance companies directly. As Lupe Peña’s experience as a former insurance defense attorney reveals, insurance companies often prioritize their bottom line over fair compensation for policyholders.

Whether you’re facing a denied claim, a lowball offer, or bad faith practices, we are equipped to fight for your rights. Our deep understanding of how insurance companies operate and value claims allows us to effectively advocate for the compensation you are rightfully owed. This includes disputes over car insurance (liability, uninsured motorist, underinsured motorist), homeowners’ insurance, and other types of coverage where insurers may unfairly delay or deny legitimate claims.

In all these personal injury matters, our goal is comprehensive recovery and unwavering advocacy. We are here to stand with you, fiercely protecting your rights and pursuing the justice you deserve in Burleson County.

Criminal Defense Practice Areas: Protecting Your Rights and Future in Burleson County

Facing criminal charges in Burleson County can be one of the most frightening experiences imaginable. The Texas legal system is complex, and the stakes—your freedom, your reputation, your future—are incredibly high. At Attorney911, we understand the immense pressure you’re under. We are here to provide immediate, aggressive, and professional criminal defense, fighting tirelessly to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome for your situation.

Our Managing Partner, Ralph Manginello, is a member of the prestigious Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA), signifying a high level of expertise and dedication to criminal defense. We understand local court procedures and judicial expectations, and we leverage this knowledge to build a robust defense strategy for every client.

We offer comprehensive criminal defense services for a wide array of charges in Burleson County:

DWI/DUI Defense: Strategic Advocacy When Your Freedom is on the Line

A DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) or DUI (Driving Under the Influence) charge in Burleson County can have severe consequences, including hefty fines, loss of your driver’s license, increased insurance premiums, and a permanent criminal record. Before you consider pleading guilty, consult with us immediately. We have handled hundreds of DWI/DUI cases and approach each with a fierce determination to defend your rights.

Our defense strategies for DWI/DUI charges are broad and multifaceted, including:

• Challenging Evidence: We scrutinize every piece of evidence, including the probable cause for your stop, field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, and blood tests. Our investigations can uncover crucial flaws.
  • Case Example 1: In one instance, our client was charged based on a breath test. Our investigation revealed improper maintenance of the breathalyzer machines, leading to the dismissal of charges due to unreliable evidence.
  • Case Example 2: Another client faced charges after rolling their car. Our investigation found law enforcement failed to conduct breath/blood tests, emergency staff didn’t note intoxication, and hospital notes were missing. The case was dismissed on the day of trial.
  • Case Example 3: A client’s DUI/DWI charge rested heavily on a video field sobriety test. We successfully argued the video did not, in fact, show our client appeared drunk, resulting in a dismissal.
• Preventing License Suspension: We work to prevent the automatic suspension of your driver’s license, often by requesting an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing within 15 days of your arrest.
• Refusal Defense: Even if you refused a breath or blood test, we can fight for your rights, as refusal does not automatically equate to guilt.

We understand the specific DWI laws and enhanced penalties in Texas, including those for BAC over 0.15, having a child passenger, or causing an accident with injury. Our goal is to prevent a conviction, minimize penalties, and protect your driving privileges and future.

Comprehensive Criminal Defense: Fighting All Charges with Vigor

Beyond DWI, our firm provides aggressive defense for a wide spectrum of criminal charges, from misdemeanors to serious felonies, in Burleson County courts. We tackle every case with the understanding that a conviction can alter your life dramatically.

• Drug Crimes: If you face drug charges—whether for possession of marijuana, cocaine, crystal meth, heroin, or ecstasy, or for drug trafficking or manufacturing—we are here to help. We challenge these charges using strategies such as questioning probable cause for search and seizure, asserting illegal search & seizure violations, and other constitutional challenges.
  • Major Case Example: In a significant success, police entered our client’s home without proper authorization and found illegal drugs. The client faced 5 to 99 years in jail. Through our strategic defense, we succeeded in arranging for deferred adjudication, meaning the client faced no jail time and charges would be dismissed upon adherence to court rules. This highlights our ability to secure freedom even in cases with severe potential consequences.
• Assault and Family Violence: Charges related to assault, assault family violence, child abuse, or domestic violence require sensitive yet aggressive defense. We understand the collateral civil consequences, such as protective orders, and work to protect your rights and reputation.
• Theft Crimes: From shoplifting to grand theft, these charges can range significantly. We investigate the evidence, challenge witness testimony, and explore all defense avenues.
• Homicide-Murder: For the most serious charges, such as homicide or murder, you need an exceptionally skilled and experienced defense team. We provide a rigorous defense, meticulously examining every detail of the prosecution’s case.
• Internet Crimes: With the increasing prevalence of online activity, internet crimes are a growing area of concern. We handle complex cases involving digital evidence and cyber law.
• Firearms Offenses: We defend against various firearms offenses, ensuring your Second Amendment rights are protected within legal frameworks.
• Other Criminal Charges: Our comprehensive practice also covers:
  • Animal Cruelty
  • Driving with an Invalid License
  • Elder Abuse
  • Expunctions (clearing your record after successful defense)
  • Extortion
  • Fake I.D. or False Impersonation
  • Fraud
  • Hit and Run
  • Kidnapping
  • Possession of a Controlled Substance or Dangerous Drug
  • Public Intoxication
  • Sexual Assault
  • Vandalism

When you are accused of a crime in Burleson County, do not speak to law enforcement without legal counsel. Exercise your right to remain silent and contact Attorney911 immediately. We will analyze your case, explain your options, and mount a powerful defense to protect your freedom and future. Your legal emergency is our call to action.

Our successes span various complex personal injury cases and challenging criminal defense matters, demonstrating our capacity to stand up to powerful adversaries and win.

For the residents of Burleson County, these examples are not just distant statistics; they are concrete evidence that we have the experience and determination to fight for you effectively.

Multi-Million Dollar Settlements: Maximizing Compensation for Severe Injuries

Our personal injury practice is built on securing maximum compensation for severely injured clients. We have repeatedly achieved multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts in cases where negligence caused life-altering harm. These results empower our clients to cover extensive medical costs, compensate for lost income, and rebuild their lives.

1. Logging Accident – Multi-Million Dollar Settlement: In a tragic workplace incident, our client, a logging company employee, suffered a brain injury with vision loss after a log was dropped on him. The Manginello Law Firm successfully secured a multi-million dollar settlement, providing essential long-term care and financial stability for our client.
2. Car Accident Leading to Amputation – Multi-Million Dollar Settlement: Following a severe car accident, our client endured a leg injury that, complicated by staff infections during treatment, regrettably led to a partial amputation. Our firm’s expertise in these critical injury cases ensured a positive outcome, culminating in a multi-million dollar settlement that addressed extensive medical needs and future quality of life.
3. Trucking Wrongful Death – Millions in Recovery: We have successfully helped numerous individuals and families grappling with the immense grief and financial strain of trucking-related wrongful death cases, recovering millions of dollars in compensation. This demonstrates our capacity to handle the most catastrophic accident scenarios involving commercial vehicles.
4. Maritime Injury – Significant Cash Settlement: Our client injured his back while performing duties on a ship, lifting cargo. Our thorough investigation revealed a critical safety lapse – he should have been appropriately assisted in that task. Through aggressive advocacy, we achieved a significant cash settlement, ensuring our client received compensation for his injuries and lost income.

Significant Case Victories: Challenging the Powerful

Our firm is not afraid to take on the most complex and powerful opponents. Our involvement in high-profile litigation highlights our capability to handle cases with immense resources and scrutiny.

• BP Texas City Explosion Litigation: Our firm holds the distinction of being one of the few in Texas involved in the landmark BP Texas City explosion litigation. This case, born from one of the most devastating industrial accidents in U.S. history, showcased our ability to litigate against one of the largest international corporate entities, advocating for victims in complex refinery and plant accident claims. This experience is invaluable for any Burleson County resident facing a major industrial accident.
• Drug Charges – Deferred Adjudication, Avoiding 5-99 Years in Prison: In a challenging criminal defense case, police unlawfully entered our client’s home and discovered a large quantity of illegal drugs. The client faced a potential sentence of 5 to 99 years in jail. Through our strategic defense and identification of critical weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, we successfully arranged for deferred adjudication. This outcome meant our client would serve no jail time, and the charges would be dismissed upon adherence to court-ordered conditions, a powerful demonstration of our ability to achieve freedom in severe cases.

Specific Case Outcomes: Precision and Persistence in Defense

In criminal defense, a dismissal or favorable reduction of charges is often the paramount goal. Our detailed investigation and persistent advocacy have led to numerous favorable outcomes for clients facing critical charges.

• DWI Dismissal – Breathalyzer Malfunction: Our client faced a drunk driving charge based on a breath test. Our investigation uncovered that the police department’s breathalyzer machines were not properly maintained. We successfully argued that without a reliable breath test, the state lacked a valid case, leading to the dismissal of all charges.
• DWI Dismissal – Lack of Evidence Post-Accident: Our client was involved in a single-vehicle accident, rolling his car with a passenger injured. Despite being arrested, our investigation revealed several critical flaws: no breath or blood test was conducted by police, on-scene emergency staff did not note intoxication, and crucial hospital nursing notes were missing. These evidentiary gaps led to the dismissal of the entire case on the day of trial.
• DWI Dismissal – Flawed Field Sobriety Test Video: The prosecution’s primary evidence against our client in a DUI/DWI case was a video of field sobriety tests. Through our meticulous review and argument, we demonstrated that the client did not, in fact, appear drunk in the video, resulting in the dismissal of the charges.

These case histories are not just examples; they are testaments to our firm’s meticulous preparation, aggressive litigation strategies, and deep understanding of both personal injury and criminal defense law. For anyone in Burleson County facing a legal emergency, this proven track record underscores our promise to relentlessly fight for your best interests.
