Injured at Work in Texas? Why You May Still Have a Lawsuit If you were hurt on the job in Texas and found out your employer doesn’t have workers’ comp, you might still have the right to sue. Texas is one of the only states that allows employers to opt out of the workers’ c...

I hired this amazing team after I was injured in a car accident. They worked so hard to get me the treatments I needed and made sure I had nothing to worry about, except healing. They were so nice and showed great dedication to my well being and were so nice to work with.

Marquette Wolf and his powerful team are a Godsent to my 2 little girls (ages 4 & 8 at the time) and I. In a single moment, I became a homeless, single parent, shattered widow. On Mon, Aug 31st, 2020, a propane explosion killed my husband and turned my home into matchsticks and toothpicks. In less than 48 hours, Marquette and his team of investigators had flown to MO and were on-site protecting me from all the ambulance chasers as well as the mere hope of any evidence left. I don't remember much that day when he arrived, I was very shaken and lifeless, but I do remember a still small voice within 5 mins of meeting Marquette that confirmed he was exactly who needed to be there. Not once in 777 days have, I ever questioned that confirmation. His team went to priceless lengths of even digging through rebel and debris, while still burning hot, trying to find my husband's wedding ring from where his body was found. Marquette was so accommodating with the healing process of my heart, patiently assisting me to attend every deposition and court hearing, while I tried desperately to understand exactly what happened in those moments that tragically stole my husband's life & all our dreams with our children and future. I was confident that a wrongful death trial would somehow bring some kind of justice to the thoughtless actions of the guilty and he was willing to fight that fight with me till the end, simply because that was the closure I needed. His word is IRON! Now, over 2 years later, EVEN IF the outcome was different and didn't bring the financial security for a lifetime for my girls and I that it has - I would still choose this firm, I am confident God ordered our steps together!

Finding yourself in an unexpected situation that is life changing is dreadful. The stress and worry can be overwhelming. Enter Ted Lyons and his professional and understanding team.

Mr. Lyons not only provided guidance but came to be someone that my brother and I could trust wholeheartedly with his future.

The unknown is scary when dealing with a company who morally and ethically failed you. The anger and resentment can be tough thing to handle.

Many Thanks to Mr. Lyons and his team. We owe you more then could ever be repaid. You and your colleagues lifted us up, ensured a financial future for my brother, and helped make sure he will be on solid ground.

When life tosses you a curve ball, believe in Ted Lyons and colleagues to have your back.

Christy Hester recently helped me with a personal injury case involving a car accident. Before hiring her, I had several medical bills and I was up against an insurance company that dragged their feet and tried their best to place fault elsewhere. Christy stepped in and took care of it all!
Christy’s credentials are quite impressive, and she equally impressed me with her people skills. She is an extremely competent, hard working, trustworthy attorney, and she navigated my case seamlessly. She spent countless hours doing research and fighting hard for my case. She proved how good she is at using tactics and negotiation techniques that allowed us to settle prior to going to court. Christy has a caring attitude and was extremely attentive to my needs. The level of attention and results that I received greatly surpassed every expectation that I had!
If you need a personally injury attorney, I highly recommend Christy Hester and her team!

So I was in a bad industrial accident over 3 years ago! I was recommended to this firm. A call was made to them and within a few hours Marquette Wolf was standing in front of me in the hospital room. From that moment on Marquette Wolf, Christy Hester and their Paralegal Bonnie Duran were sharks in the water ripping apart those responsible for the accident I was in!My family and I are extremely grateful to this team! Our case is over and we couldn't be happier! If your looking for weak attorneys this is not the place to go but if your looking for people who are going to win, I highly recommend calling them cause they're winners!

We had a great experience with Linda Kinkaid and their office staff. Communication is key and that is one thing Linda was great at. Not to mention very convenient we were able to review and sign docs online. Definitely will refer others, and friends and family as well. Thank you for the great work you did.

Ted and Marquette worked tirelessly on our case (Waldrip vs. U-Haul), for which we are very thankful. They kept us updated on everything from beginning to end, and even went to my mom and dad's house to visit with them after our case was over. That showed us they weren't just their clients. What my dad went through also had an affect on them. We will never forget what Ted, Marquette, and the rest of the staff did for us. Ted Lyon and Associates are the best!
