Personal injury FAQs

Who is the best injury attorney in McAllen and San Juan?

Choosing the "best" comes down to proof: client reviews, credentials, and results. Chris Sanchez holds a 4.9★ rating across 150+ five-star reviews, has been licensed in Texas since 2014, was named a Rising Star in 2018, and has recovered millions for injured Rio Grande Valley families — all while working on contingency. We invite you to compare the proof and decide for yourself.

What should I look for in the best personal injury lawyer?

Look for verifiable proof, not promises: a strong base of recent five-star reviews, real credentials and bar standing, a track record of meaningful recoveries, clear and responsive communication (ideally in your language), and a contingency-fee arrangement so the lawyer only gets paid when you do. Chris Sanchez meets every one of those benchmarks.

How much does the best injury attorney cost?

Nothing up front. Like most top personal-injury attorneys, Chris works on a contingency fee — your consultation is free and you pay no attorney's fees unless we recover money for you. Hiring a highly rated lawyer doesn't cost more, and if we don't win, you owe us nothing.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?

In most Texas personal injury cases the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. Some claims have shorter notice deadlines — especially those involving a government entity — so it's important to call us as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Does hiring a top-rated lawyer get me a bigger settlement?

There are no guarantees, and prior results never guarantee a similar outcome. But experience consistently shows that insurers tend to offer more when a claim is prepared by an experienced attorney who is ready to litigate. Chris builds every case as if it's going to trial, which is exactly what discourages the lowball offers.

Do you serve both McAllen and San Juan?

Yes. We have offices in both McAllen (317 W. Nolana Ave) and San Juan (101 S. Nebraska Ave, Ste 5), and we serve injured clients throughout the entire Rio Grande Valley, including Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, Weslaco, Harlingen, and Brownsville.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

Every case is different. The value depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical bills, lost income, how the accident has affected your life, and the available insurance. We evaluate your case for free and give you an honest assessment — no false promises.
