Last week’s Texas Senate hearing on lawsuit abuse highlighted its widespread and devastating impact on Texan consumers. Texas accident victims who have been hurt by the broken legal system have also taken to Yelp and Google Reviews to share their own difficult stories dealing with predatory billboard attorneys.

One client mentioned how they were drawn in by omnipresent advertising but said the firm was “never about the client, it’s all about the money. … If only they put as much effort into their clients as they do in their advertising.”

Numerous clients have complained about their billboard attorneys requiring them to see specific medical providers with unnecessary and expensive treatments. 

Former clients: “They referred me to several expensive doctors for treatment.” They “send you to fake doctors to steal more money and then the attorney takes what’s left.” 

Clients also highlighted being left with small settlements, with their attorneys taking high percentages of the fees and discovering unexpected hidden fees at the end of their case. This broken system leaves the accident victims in significant debt.

Former clients: “After medical bills … I received a measly $2,000.” “The legal fees are above average so they walk out with more than ⅓ of your money.” “They lead you to believe they have your best interest at heart but then take more than half the settlement.”
