Car Wreck Injury Lawyer Houston is a website of LAWBOSS – Harris, Nelsen & Uvalle, PLLC. These are the attorneys in the firm’s Houston office at 5300 Memorial Dr Ste 810, by Memorial Park.
Ian Nelsen, partner attorney
Ian worked as an insurance adjuster and then as an insurance defense attorney before he joined LAWBOSS in 2016. He has sat at the desk where injury claims are reviewed, and he knows what an adjuster looks for in a medical file and what makes a claim move.
He earned a bachelor’s degree at Baylor University and a master’s degree at Texas A&M University-Commerce, and he graduated third in his class at South Texas College of Law. The State Bar of Texas shows him licensed since May 2016.
Jonathan Harris, partner attorney
Jonathan Harris, Board Certified, Personal Injury Trial Law – Texas Board of Legal Specialization, has practiced law since 1998. Before joining LAWBOSS in 2017 he spent more than a decade as a senior trial attorney for a major automobile insurance company. Today he is a partner and the firm’s managing attorney of litigation.
His law degree is from the University of Houston. He is responsible for the content of this website, and his primary practice location is the Houston office.
Howard Hill, litigation attorney
Howard has practiced law since 1998 and spent over 20 years with two of the nation’s largest auto and commercial insurance carriers. He brings more than 23 years of trial work in complex civil matters to the firm’s Houston cases.
He and Jonathan Harris both took their law degrees at the University of Houston.
A firm started by people from the other side
Michael Uvalle started LAWBOSS once he had worked for several of the biggest insurers in Texas. Five of the firm’s seven attorneys came from the insurance side, as adjusters, defense lawyers or trial attorneys for insurers. The firm calls that the Insurance Insider Advantage: we use what we learned there to anticipate the other side’s moves.
The firm’s principal office is in Dallas, and it also has offices in Houston and San Antonio. This site is for people hurt in car wrecks in and around Houston, and the Houston office handles those cases.
How we work with you
- The first consultation is free, and someone answers the phone at any hour.
- You see and understand the written agreement before you sign.
- We take the insurers’ calls so you do not have to.
- You decide on every offer and on whether to file a lawsuit.
- No Fees or Costs Unless We Win: the firm advances the costs of your case, and you pay no attorney’s fee and no case costs unless we recover money for you.
What the insurance side taught us
Working for insurers teaches a lawyer how a claim looks from the inside: how a file is opened, how a reserve is set, which records an adjuster asks for first, and which arguments a defense lawyer reaches for when a case goes to suit. Our Houston attorneys learned those things by doing them for years.
That is useful in ordinary, practical ways. We know why the adjuster calls so early and wants a recorded statement. We know that a gap in treatment will be noticed, so we help you avoid one or explain it. We know which details in a demand get read closely and which get skimmed. And we know that an early offer, made before the full cost of an injury is known, is an offer the insurer expects many people to accept.
None of this promises a result in any case, and we never promise one. What it does is take away the surprise. You will hear from us what the other side is likely to do next, before it happens, and what we plan to do about it.
