Brenda Gallegos is Vuk Vujasinovic’s Case Manager and the firm’s Office Manager. Her favorite thing about the firm is our staff. We have, without a doubt, the greatest mix of men and women in Houston to work with. We complement each other’s different personalities and backgrounds and work well together to have a fun and productive work environment and to achieve the best outcome for all of our clients that we can.
In over 30 years of working in the legal profession, the case that has had the most impact on her involved a gentleman that was murdered on a rig in Yemen. This man was 64 at the time of his death. He was a hardworking man. He owned and worked a farm in Kansas when he was not working on a rig. He was a man that believed in God and raised his family to believe in God. This man loved his family. This man loved and adored his wife with all of his heart. In humanizing a deceased person to a jury personal effects are used such as cards, photos, and letters. This man wrote his wife love letters almost every day that he was away from her telling her how much he missed her and was counting the days until he would be home again. He sent her cards telling her of his love for her. This man was loved not only by his family, but by his co-workers, and members of his community. This case always made her cry when she worked on it. Everyone should give and be given the gift of love this man had for his wife, family, co-workers, and community; and which was reciprocated in kind.
One of her more colorful cases involved a gentleman that was injured on a vessel. As with almost all injured clients, money was a bit tight for Mr. B and his maintenance and cure checks did not seem to stretch far enough from check to check. In an effort to obtain some additional financial assistance, Mr. B’s grandmother, mother, father, brothers, sisters, aunts, and uncles had to pass away several times necessitating new clothes and trips out of town to the many funerals. Bby the end of the case, Mr. B was the only family member still breathing. There were times during Mr. B’s lawsuit that he, nor our firm, saw eye to eye, but we persevered and Mr. B become a happy former client who called on us after his initial case settled.
