We represent you.
Not insurance companies.
Not debt collectors.
Not corporations.
Not businesses.
Not landlords.
Not hospitals.
Not banks.
Just you.
We represent people. Human beings. Funky homo sapiens.
We’re what you call “plainitffs lawyers.” Some people call us trial lawyers. Some people—OK, a lot of people—don’t like us.
They’ve heard about the McDonalds coffee case or the fake lawsuit about the RV that crashed without a driver. Or some other stupid lawsuit.
They make fun of us. We’re the butt of jokes. Sometimes—OK, a lot of times—we deserve it.
But, deep down, underneath it all, they don’t like us because, with our help, our clients can be just as powerful as they are.
And that scares them. A lot.
Of course, we think we're pretty great. But don't take our word for it.
Listen to some of our wonderful clients.
“I hired Jon Selden and never had to worry about anything else again.”
“I remember that several lawyers gave up my case but you took my case and you said “don’t worry”—this words gave me a hope.”
“If I ever need a lawyer again you are my GUY! Great job!!!”
“Jon was super easy to work with and always available.”
“They took my case on a Friday evening and, from that point on, I did not have to worry about anything.”
“I have had the privilege of dealing with Jon Selden a few times. He is always a great person to work with and is very thorough in explaining things in layman’s terms.”
“They really care about how you are feeling, and doing while going through the process.”
“Truly honest and hard working people. I am so glad I chose them to represent me thorough this process.”
“The myths about lawyers just in it for the money went right out the window in dealing with Jon Selden and staff.”
“A case I thought was going to take a year or two took only five months, and I could not be happier.”
“I felt like Selden & Company truly cared about my case. They took care of everything and it was definitely worth it!”
“I could not have asked for better representation, they truly did an amazing job.”
“I dont know what she did, but as soon as she contacted them, they paid out the entire policy.”
Put simply: We don’t like it when bad stuff happens to good people.
Injustice is everywhere. But we don’t have to like it.
We all make mistakes. It’s part of life. We grow and learn when we recognize we’ve done something wrong and work to make it right. It’s why we have insurance. We quickly take responsibility and pay for all the damage we cause.
But sometimes, people do something wrong and try to avoid it. They try to get out of taking responibility and fixing the damage they cause. They blame the victim. Or try to make a quick buck by taking advantage of someone. Or their insurance company tries to save a few bucks by denying responsibility or delaying payment.
This is called injustice. And we don’t like it—at all.
Drunk Driving Crashes
Most car accidents are just that: Accidents. But if you're hit by a drunk driver, That's No Accident.™ We can help.
Medical Bill Overcharges
Hospitals are big business. But when hospitals put profits before patients, we can help.
Class Actions
Bad companies nickel-and-dime consumers with amounts so small they think they can get away with it. But when consumers unite in class-action, those nickels and dimes can add up quick.
Insurance Coverage Denials
Insurance companies make money by not paying claims. If your insurance company isn’t upholding its end of the bargain, we can help.
Wildfire Claims
Wildfires are devastating in every way. But they can’t take our resolve to fight. We will help you recover.
Weird is good.
When you’re a lawyer, anything you can do to be different is a good thing.
There are a lot of lawyers in Texas. Some good ones too.
We are proud to work alongside them. We were trained by some of the best and owe our practices to their willingness to teach us the craft.
That said, all lawyers are different. We each have our own philosophies and styles.
We try to be open, light, humorous, humble, and honest. If we say it, we do it. If we’re wrong, we admit it. We have fun and don’t take ourselves too seriously.
When our clients are happy, we’re happy. When we’re happy, our clients are happy. We think that simple outlook will solve 99 percent of our (and our clients’) problems.
As GSD&M founder Roy Spence says, we “think big but act small.”
If you think this philosophy jives with you, please give us a call. We think you’ll like working with us. If not, then please call one of our many friends around town (not the guys on TV or the billboards) who will also do a great job with your case.
Meet our team.
There's no such thing as too much information.
Lawyers are supposed to keep clients informed about their case.
We go a little—OK, a lot—overboard.
Lawyers are required to keep clients "reasonably informed" about their case. What this usually means is one of the lawyer's paralegals or staff calls or emails the client every once in a while to check in.
We take it a step further—or maybe 10 steps further—by giving you access to our entire online case management system. You see everything we see—every task, comment, due date, update—good or bad.
Our clients are the most valuable members of our case team and we think you should know what's going on in your case as soon as it happens. It's just one more way we're a little different.
If you're like the rest of us, you've never hired a lawyer before. And it's a little scary.
We're sure you have lots of questions, like: How does it work? How much does it cost? How long with this all take? Luckily, we've thought of the most common questions we get and answered them here.
If you have any other questions, please give us a call at (512) 329-6800.
