WHAT IS A CONTINGENCY FEE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
COMPARING LARGE LAW FIRM WITH SMALL LAW FIRM.
Many people in need of legal services have little to choose the right attorney for their needs. Large companies have the power of numbers and collaboration, but sometimes smaller or individual customers get lost in the confusion. Smaller companies generally provide a more personal touch and make up for their lack of manpower through cases of joint ventures that require more labor. In my nearly 40 years of experience, I have formed many relationships with excellent attorneys who work with me in complicated litigation that requires more than just my team. We share the fee and the cost to the customer does not increase in most cases.
WHEN SHOULD I HIRE A LAWYER?
WHAT DOES “BOARD CERTIFIED”, OR “BOARD CERTIFIED” MEAN?
Attorneys who are Board Certified have met high standards for that certification. Those include passing a written exam on the subject, the required number of trials in law courts, and a high percentage of your record within that specialty. Mike Kerensky has been board certified continuously in personal injury law since 1988. There are good personal injury attorneys who are not board certified, but most board-certified personal injury attorneys are at the top of the list. his class.
CAN YOU HANDLE CASES OUTSIDE HOUSTON OR TEXAS?
Yes we can. We handle cases throughout Texas and have handled cases across the country. In states where Mike Kerensky is not licensed, we employ the so-called “pro hac vice” intake process where we ask the court to allow Mike to practice outside of Texas for that case only. This requires the association of a local attorney to sponsor Mike on that motion who will participate in the trial as a local advisor.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
Mike Kerensky was a great lawyer and representative for me during my lawsuit. He handled the case well and made my family and I feel welcomed and like a priority. We met multiple times throughout the process with Mike and Erica, and they gave us accurate and transparent information, were very flexible and accommodating to our busy schedules, and did all the hard work for us. Mike provided me with the best doctors and care I needed and made sure I was treated respectfully and promptly. My family and I were well informed on every detail of the case, and if we ever had a question, Mike and Erica had given us their personal cell phone numbers and were available immediately. They helped my family and I though a difficult time and made is easier to handle and understand. If for any reason my family and I were to need a lawyer or legal assistance again, I'd come to him in a heartbeat.
