Your Houston Personal Injury Attorney, Direct Line, Direct Answers

If You Were Just in an Accident
Just Had an Accident, The First 72 Hours Matter Most
Evidence disappears. Witnesses move on. Insurance adjusters start calling within hours. Talk to Phillip before giving a statement, the consultation is free and there is no obligation.
Tell Phillip What Happened01
Do Not Give a Statement
Insurance adjusters are trained to collect statements that reduce your claim. Say nothing until you have spoken with Phillip.
02
Document Everything Now
Photos, witness names, medical records, police reports. Evidence that exists today may not exist tomorrow.
03
Call Phillip First
The consultation is free and there is no obligation. You will talk directly to Phillip, not a receptionist or intake coordinator.
The Difference
What Sets Phillip Apart as a Houston Personal Injury Attorney
Most personal injury firms run on volume. A client signs a contract, gets handed to a case manager, and spends the next year leaving voicemails. Phillip built his practice the opposite way. Smaller caseload by design, so every client deals with him directly from the first call to the final settlement.
-
Direct access
Clients are not handed off to paralegals or case managers. Phillip handles every part of the case himself, including the calls, the strategy, and the negotiation.
-
Medical depth
A biomedical engineering degree before law school means Phillip reads MRIs, imaging, and medical records with a level of fluency most attorneys do not have. Insurance adjusters notice, and so do their offers.
-
Smaller caseload by design
Quality over volume. Fewer clients, more attention, real preparation. That is how cases get the outcomes they deserve, and it is why Phillip can answer the phone when clients call.
Cases Patterson Legal Handles Across the I-10 Corridor
When someone else's negligence costs you your health, your paycheck, or someone you love, the call you make next matters. Phillip helps injured Texans and Louisianans recover what was taken from them: medical bills covered, lost wages back, and the full value of the harm done. If you have a case worth pursuing, he will tell you. If you don't, he will tell you that too.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Cars, SUVs, rideshare, hit-and-run. The most common path to Phillip's door.
Trucking and Commercial Vehicles
Eighteen-wheelers, fleet vehicles, delivery trucks. Higher stakes, harder fights, bigger insurance teams.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders carry blame they do not deserve. Phillip pushes back on that assumption every time.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists hit by drivers along the I-10 corridor, underrepresented and undercompensated. That changes here.
Maritime Injuries
Jones Act, unseaworthiness, maintenance and cure. For deck hands, crew, harbor workers, longshoremen.
Offshore Injury
OCSLA, Jones Act, General Maritime. Oil rigs, platforms, the Gulf energy workforce.
Workplace Injuries
Third-party liability and non-subscriber employer claims. Patterson Legal does not handle workers' compensation.
Slip and Fall / Premises Liability
Unsafe property, inadequate security, hidden hazards. Commercial and private.
Dog Bites
Texas and Louisiana have different rules. Phillip knows both.
Drowning Injuries
Pools, waterparks, vessels. Where supervision and safety failed.
Wrongful Death
The hardest cases. Handled with the care a grieving family deserves.

Before You Call
Common Questions Before the First Call
Most people have never hired an attorney. Here is what to expect before you even pick up the phone.
How soon should someone call after an accident?
As soon as possible. Evidence fades fast. Vehicles get repaired, scenes get cleaned up, witnesses move on, and insurance adjusters start calling within hours. The earlier Phillip is involved, the more he can protect.
Is there any cost to talk to Phillip?
No. The consultation is free, and Patterson Legal works on contingency, meaning there is no fee unless Phillip wins or settles the case.
What if it is not clear whether there is a case?
That is exactly what the call is for. Phillip will give an honest read. If there is no case worth pursuing, he will say so. If there is, he will walk through what comes next.
Will clients actually talk to Phillip?
Yes. That is the entire point. No intake screeners, no paralegals running the case, no case managers between the client and the attorney. The same person who answers the call is the one handling the case.
