Get an experienced, tough trial lawyer on your side.
When choosing a lawyer, trial experience matters. Insurance companies don't play fair. They have sophisticated lawyers on their side and will do their best to take advantage of you if you try to settle on your own. You need someone in your corner who the insurance companies will take seriously--a seasoned, tough trial lawyer who isn't afraid to stand up for your rights and see your case all the way through trial. Clay Snell brings over 25 years of legal experience in New Mexico and Texas, including numerous trials against insurance companies and large corporations. He is board certified in civil trial law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a distinction held by only a small percentage of Texas lawyers.
Clay will handle your case personally. You won't be shuffled off to a low-level associate or paralegal. He will see to it that your case receives all the attention it deserves, and you can talk to him directly at any time.
