If you were hurt and a claim may follow, the useful first step is a plain conversation about what happened and which papers you already have. Alex Lieber-Alessie has practiced law since 1978, forty-eight years in a general practice at 2203 Hardy St in Houston. Personal injury is one of the matters the office takes, alongside real estate, probate, contract disputes, criminal law, and family law.
A personal injury call is about the event, the treatment, and the letters that have already arrived. People call after a car collision, a fall, or another incident in which someone was hurt and an insurer, a property owner, or another driver is involved. The office does not ask you to sort the legal theory before you pick up the phone. Describe the date, the place, and who you have already spoken with. That is enough to set a consultation by phone or at the office.
Bring what you have, even if the set is incomplete. Useful papers include discharge notes or a list of clinics you visited, photographs of the scene or the damage, a claim number if an insurer assigned one, and any letter that asks you to sign a statement or accept a figure. If a police report or an incident report exists, bring the number or the copy. If you do not have these yet, still call. The consultation can cover what to request and from whom.
Write down the dates before you come in. The day of the injury, the first day you saw a doctor, the days you missed work, and the day any letter arrived. A short list on a single page is easier to use than a stack with no order. If a family member was in the same event, note that person and whether they need their own conversation. The office can talk with you in English or in Spanish.
Monday through Friday the office is open from 9 AM to 5 PM. Saturday it is open from 9 AM to 1 PM. Sunday it is closed. Walk-in inquiries are welcome during those hours. Calling (713) 224-4300 ahead makes it more likely someone is free to sit down with you. The address is 2203 Hardy St, Houston, TX 77026. Look for the brown awnings.
This page is about how to start. It does not estimate what a claim is worth, and it does not promise a result. Two injuries that sound similar on the phone can rest on different facts, different insurance, and different deadlines. Those differences are why the consultation looks at your papers instead of offering a stock answer on the website.
Personal injury questions sometimes sit next to another matter the same office already handles. A wreck can leave a repair dispute. A hospital stay can leave a family member needing authority to speak. A signed paper from an insurer can raise a contract question. You do not need a second law office to raise those points. Say what else is going on when you call.
Contacting the office, or reading this page, does not create an attorney-client relationship. The words here are general information about the practice, not advice for your facts. If something legal is weighing on you, call (713) 224-4300 and set a time to talk it through.
