How the scores work

The numbers beside each firm come from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many clients have rated the firm, compared with the others here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency shows how recently clients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does a car accident lawyer cost in Houston?

Fee terms differ from one Houston firm to the next and from one case to the next, so there’s no single price to quote here. Ask each firm how its fee is calculated, what happens to case expenses, and what you owe if the claim doesn’t recover anything, and get the answers in writing before you sign.

Where these Houston offices are

The offices sit along N Loop W, the Gulf Freeway, Travis Street, Richmond Avenue and the Katy Freeway, so there’s an option on most sides of the city. Searching for a car accident lawyer near me? Each listing below shows a phone number and directions, and a call is the quickest way to ask whether a firm takes your type of crash.

Questions to ask a car accident lawyer before you sign

  • How many car and rideshare cases like mine has your office handled recently?
  • Who will I speak to week to week, the attorney or a case manager?
  • How is your fee calculated, and which case expenses come out of a settlement?
  • Will you deal with the other driver’s insurance company and my own?
  • Can you help me find a doctor if I don’t have one?
  • How long do cases like mine usually take?

Frequently asked questions

Do Houston car accident lawyers also take rideshare and 18-wheeler crashes?

Some do. Armstrong Lee & Baker’s site lists Uber, Uber Eats and DoorDash accidents plus 18-wheeler truck accidents, and DeHoyos Accident Attorneys lists Uber, Lyft and commercial vehicle crashes. Steve Lee and Schechter, Shaffer & Harris also appear on our truck accident page, linked above.

Will the lawyer handle the other driver’s insurance company?

Reviewers at several of these firms say so. One Schechter, Shaffer & Harris client says the team handled all the insurance negotiations, and a DeHoyos client says their attorney pursued the other driver’s insurer. Ask any firm to confirm exactly what it will handle for you.

Can a car accident law firm help with medical appointments?

Some clients say so. A Steve Lee client says the office scheduled all their appointments with a medical coordinator, and a DeHoyos client credits the firm with helping arrange medical care. Ask what help you can expect in your own case.

How long does a Houston car accident case take?

It varies. Reviewers of these firms describe cases that took several months, and others that ran close to two years, so treat any timeline as a conversation to have with the attorney rather than a promise.

Where to start

Armstrong Lee & Baker is a strong first call for car, rideshare and delivery crashes, and Steve Lee offers the deepest client feedback to read. Whichever firm you contact, ask who will run your case day to day and get the fee terms in writing.
