  S. Trumble, Houston, Texas 
• Just when we thought we would never find someone who would listen to our story, V&B opened their doors to us.  For one month, I spoke to 25 lawyers and the answer I received was "your case is a lost case, no one will ever represent you."

• I was hurt on a boat offshore.  Brian and his law firm worked hard on my case.  They helped ease my concerns and stabilized my world when it was very uncertain.  Brian stepped in and made everything go as smoothly as possible.  He got me the medical attention I needed as well.  The settlement he got for me will take care of my financial needs for the rest of my life.  If you are looking for someone to take your interests at heart Brian and his law firm can give you the attention your case deserves.
  
  Tim M., Austin, Texas
• I was injured in an auto accident in Houston, and was referred to Vuk by another attorney.  I couldn't work as a result of the accident and desperately needed back and knee surgery.. . . Vuk was able to get me a generous settlement within about a year of taking my case.
  
  Steven R.
  Deer Park, Texas
• I hired Brian after I was hurt on an offshore oil platform.  The company wasn't taking care of my medical care and I was losing a lot of money not being able to work.  Brian was able to get the company to pay me a large settlement in less than 12 months.  I would recommend Brian and his law firm to anyone who needed a good injury lawyer, and especially to any offshore worker who needed someone who knew how to beat the offshore companies in Court.
  
  Jackie R., Houston, Texas
• After my two-year old son was killed by an 18-wheeler driver and me and my daughter were badly injured, we hired Brian and Vuk to represent us on the recommendation of another lawyer.
  
  This was the hardest time in our lives and it was great knowing we had you there to represent us.
  
  Justin and Sonya H., Splendora, Texas
  
  
  
• I was hurt on an offshore oil rig.  I was unable to work or get proper medical care from the company.  I was referred to Brian by another law firm because that law firm knew Brian helped workers with offshore injury cases.  Brian settled my case in less than 12 months.  The settlement will enable me to take care of my family financially and get back on my feet.  I would highly recommend Brian and his law firm to any injured worker.
  
  Freddy N., Lufkin, Texas

Jones Act & Maritime Law:

• Do you deserve compensation after a commercial diving accident?   
  Description: Many victims of commercial dive accidents want to know if they deserve compensation for their injuries and if their case falls under the Jones Act.

  Description: Are you thinking about settling for a quick payout from your employer or their insurance company after a serious maritime accident? That is just what “they” are hoping you will do – take a little bit of money and go.

• Rail workers deserve compensation for serious spine injuries   
  Description: Railway work can be dangerous for even the most experienced employees, and every year workers are injured or killed while just trying to do their job.
