WHY HIRE ME?I take an aggressive position with each individual case we decide to file suit on.  Upon case intake and we decide that we are accepting a case, we file suit immediately.  This is done for many reasons.  For example, in an 18 wheeler collision case, evidence that can be crucial to the case can disappear really quick.  In a recent case, we filed suit with a restraining order to ensure the 18 wheeler semi truck was not moved allowing our experts to get all data, such as the data on the “black box.”  This data provides much insight that was essential to the case.Second, why do we sue immediately?  Well first, the litigation process takes time.  I feel the faster the case is filed and a trial date is set, the quicker the case is to resolve.  As a firm, we make it a goal to resolve your case in 9 to 12 months from initial signing and intake of the case.  Of course there are a few exceptions to this, however, we do really well getting cases resolved within this prescribed time.Third, why do we sue immediately?  If the case is unable to resolve through negotiations, instead of waiting for all discovery to be done, which is usually the first 120 days, we have already done this and are prepared to take the next steps to move the case.  Usually this involves depositions of witnesses.  Can be anyone from the Corporate Representative speaking on the company’s policies and procedures, to the CEO of a company describing the chain of command.  Of course, the individual that caused the harm as well.Bottom line there is no reason to let time go without something being accomplished.  Even if it’s just getting the suit filed and document discovery process taking place is better than having to put the case on hold because no action was taken.If you would like to speak to me regarding a case or if you or a love one has been injured, please feel free to email me.

I love Texas.  Part of my childhood memories belong to the great NYC, but the majority of my life has been tied into the state of Texas.  I have lived in Houston, Austin, Lubbock,  El Paso, Dallas, San Antonio, back to Lubbock, back to El Paso and now Austin and El Paso.  Each city has impacted my life in memorable ways.. My firm has put up with me for over 13 years :) . I say that only because they have have watched me travel through a majority of their offices due to my husband's military committment.  Time really does fly by when you work at a firm that treats you like family.  My background makes me unique in my field as I understand both the legal and accounting side of personal injury.  Before I became an Attorney, I worked in a very large medical system dealing with accounting and finance.  I understand numbers and the lingo which in turn helps my client understand their case and their case value.  Some firms don't undertand how health insurance works or what balance billing means which in turn costs you more money down the road.  Medical expenses have increased drastically.  Health Insurance has gotten so complicated that most people do not understand how their health insurance works.  Doctor's medical bills are complicated to understand.  I am here to bridge together all those things and much much more.. I am an Attorney, a counselor, an advisor and a friend.  At the end of the day I will be verys straight forward forward with you as I do with my family and my friends. I look forward to assisting you on your personal injury matter. Please call my office to schedule your free consultation or any questions you may have.. -Linh Thai

I love practicing personal injury law, and I am good at it. My focus is my ability to tell your story. This is what we're good at.. I teach other plaintiff lawyers in Texas how to present their clients' damages in the most effective way. I tend to look at cases visually and get to know each of my clients and their families in order to understand what the collision or the injury has done to their world. Often the contrast between pre-collision and post-collision is dramatic. If I can show that contrast, then the insurance companies realize that the case is quite real, and they realize that they now have an opportunity to help you. If they balk at that opportunity to help, then we give that opportunity to a jury.. The effectiveness of how we tell your story is what will make a jury empathize with what has happened to you; juries will help when they understand the harms you have suffered.. If you have been the victim of a drunk or reckless driver, if you have been hit by someone who was not looking out for your motorcycle, if you have been t-boned by someone not paying attention to the traffic light because a text was more important than your safety, I can and I will help you.
