"Before law school, I jumped out of airplanes with the 101st Airborne. It taught me one thing that's carried into every trial since: show up prepared, or don't show up at all."

Marty Herring served in the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division before earning his law degree from South Texas College of Law. He's board certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and has tried over 250 cases to verdict, focused exclusively on personal injury and wrongful death claims.

Most personal injury firms are built to settle fast. Marty Herring & Associates is built to try the case. That's exactly why the insurance companies on the other side tend to take these cases seriously from day one.

Why It Matters

The difference between a settlement mill and a trial lawyer

Most firms settle nearly every case, because most firms have never tried one. Insurance adjusters know the difference, and they price their offers accordingly.

Common Questions

What people ask before calling a lawyer

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

In most cases, two years from the date of the injury under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Section 16.003. Claims against a government entity can have much shorter deadlines, sometimes as little as 60 days, so it's worth calling early rather than waiting.

What does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

The consultation is free. If Marty takes your case, it's handled on contingency. There are no attorney fees or case expenses unless there's a recovery.

What if I'm not sure who was at fault?

That's normal right after an accident. Part of the job is investigating the facts, gathering evidence, and identifying every party who may be responsible before you have to make any decisions.

What can I recover in a personal injury case?

Depending on the case, that can include medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and property damage. Every case is different, so a free consultation is the fastest way to get a straight answer for yours.
