Why Hire Us?

A lot of lawyers advertise on television, the newspaper, radio, or in the phone book.  How do you know which law firm to hire?  It's not easy, but this should help you.  And whether or not you hire The Monsour Law Firm, these are the issues you should be considering when hiring a lawyer.

Our Skills are Recognized by Others.

Find out if the law firm you are talking to has received any type of outside recognitions or accomplishments.  In other words, instead of simply taking a lawyer's word that he knows what he's doing, see if anyone else has ever come to that same conclusion.  For instance, find out if the lawyer is board certified.  In the State of Texas, only 2% of lawyers are Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law.  Doug Monsour is Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Personal Injury Trial Law.  In addition, he is Board Certified in Civil Trial Advocacy by the National Board of Civil Trial Advocacy.  In addition, Doug is a member of The Million Dollar Advocates Forum.  On top of that Texas Monthly magazine has honored Doug as a Rising Star lawyer (under 40 years old) and as a Super Lawyer (once he turned 40) every year since they started giving this designation in Texas.

We have the Resources to Help You.

Does the law firm you are hiring have the financial capability to do what it takes to win your case?  At the Monsour Law Firm, our proven success allows us the ability to invest in your case.  We do this by hiring the best experts and utilizing the best technology to help give you every advantage.  If a law firm or lawyer is not on firm financial footing, how will he be able to properly develop your case?  In addition to having the financial ability to develop your case, we also work with some of the finest experts in the country.  Top experts can sometimes make or break your case. 

We Get Results!

If you look at some of our Case Results, you will see that we sometimes get results others could not.  Why is this?  Simply put--hard work and experience!  If you come by our office, you will notice that our entire staff is diligently working on the cases of those people that have entrusted their claims to us.  We go to work every day and every day, we work on our clients' cases.  You won't find us out on the golf course.  Generally speaking, we are at the office or off working on our cases.  We look at the law.  We look at the facts.  We look at the medicine.  We look at the science.  It is hard work and attention to detail that allows us to get good results for our clients.  We do not get lucky.  As Darrell Royal said, "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity."  We prepare constantly, and when the opportunity presents itself, we seize it.

We have the best Staff around.

Oftentimes, when dealing with a law firm, the clients will deal more with the staff than they will with the lawyers.  Fortunately for you, and us, we have some of the most experienced staff in Texas.  Every one of them is knowledgeable about the cases they handle and diligent in the way they work on them.  That's the mind set of our firm:  Dedication to success.  We are committed to doing the best we can, from the top of this firm to the bottom.  When the firm was founded, Doug Monsour knew that a great staff was a key to a great firm.  Accordingly, he has retained the best assistants he has had and has added quality to the team.

From across the nation, people hire us.

Our firm prosecutes cases across the country.  We've settled cases for clients in all 50 states.  We are frequently called by firms across the country to work with them on various cases.  Why?  Because our reputation for hard work, knowledge, and fairness is in high demand.  Some lawyers associate us for our trial experience.  Others associate us because of our ability to successfully negotiate a settlement.  Others need help establishing liability and helping to prove corporate malfeasance.  Whatever the need, if it involves a personal injury lawsuit, we can generally help.  In fact, in 2008 Federal Judge Don Middlebrooks of the Southern District of Florida appointed Doug Monsour to be a member of the Plaintiff Steering Committee in the Trasylol litigation.  This honor has resulted in Doug being primarily responsible for the depositions of numerous Bayer executives.  These depositions have taken place across the US as well as in Europe.
