Thank you so much for reviewing my husband’s medical records. I truly appreciate you taking the time to give us your professional opinion. My children and I feel much better about the care that Steve received and can put this matter to rest. Once again, thank you for your time and efforts.

Even though I admit that I’m trying to forget the circumstances under which our lives crossed paths, I know I won’t forget the graciousness and compassion that you & your thoughtful staff extended to me!
- L.M.
Kindly receive my infinite gratitude for standing by my side in the difficult moments and for your trust and insights. I wish many future successes to you and your firm. My best for your future endeavors.

Steve. I just want to say thank you again for all your hard work on my case. I know you, Leslie, & Fred did your best. I am very grateful that I didn’t walk away empty-handed. I hope this will help Dr. _____ be a more careful doctor in the future. Thanks for being so kind to me.
- GC
It has been very rare, in my life, that I have met what I call “remarkable” people. Those men and women who embody what is good in a person. Qualities like, honesty, humor, patience and most of all, a love of humanity. I would like to include you in my very short list of “remarkable” people JD, because you do all those things so effortlessly, as if it is part of your chromosome structure.
I like you JD and my son can confirm, I don’t like a whole bunch of folks, but then, that is part of the circle of life. Thank you with all the good that is left in my heart for all you did for me and my family. My appreciation also extends to Steve, blessings to Leslie for her patience as well. I hope we meet again one day. Remarkable people make for the best friends.
- L.F.
Ok thanks for everything. Y’all were great to work with. Shocked that emails answered so fast. Tell Steven I says thanks for everything. If y’all need a reference let me know. Just so shocked he was able to lower Aetna claim so much. Thanks again. I so happy I picked Steven. I actually contacted another firm and they told me I never get any money. So I kept trying and found Steven. Thanks again.

My Dear Leslie,
I wanted for you to know that it has been such a pleasure knowing you. Your kind patience was above and beyond the call of duty. I also know that you put your heart and soul into your work. The endless understanding that you gave me over the past 3.5 years, well… there should be a medal for it!
I was pretty angry a lot of the time I e-mailed you and it took me so long to realize, that none of my case was not your fault, I am so very sorry…Misters Davis and Davis are blessed to have you at the helm and so was I!
You will always be in my heart, Leslie…take care and always BE well.

As I have said many times, this [case] was important to her, so I wanted to honor her wishes as best I could. You helped me do that, and for that, I’ll always be grateful. You understood the odds, yet you took the case anyway, when just about anyone else would have dismissed it as not worth the time. You listened to what I said and understood my mission both before and after she died. Again, thank you. I know she’s smiling from heaven right now. I don’t know when I’ll ever be in Houston, but if I find myself that way and schedules allow, I’d love to take you to lunch. And, if you are ever in Dallas, please call.
- Client
I wanted to send this note to tell you how appreciative Dan, I, and Ryan are that you chose to represent us in our father’s (grandfather’s) case against Peterson Memorial Hospital. We couldn’t have been represented by anyone better.
You all put your heart and soul into this case. It showed in everything you did. Your compassion for our feelings and your concern for our heartbreak will always be remembered. We cannot tell you how much your dedication, your persistence, and professionalism meant to all of us. It is beyond expression.
We really cannot thank you enough and if you ever need a recommendation please feel free to give them my name, number, and any contact information.
You are the very best at what you do! You really are Super Lawyers!
We are so very fortunate to have found you.
- Laurie
Dear Steve,
I just wanted to say thank you for your kindness and compassion in being willing to investigate the claims in my case. I know that the effort put forth by you and your staff was time consuming and expensive. You are truly an asset to our profession and seem to have a real heart to help those injured. I will tell you that I actually cried with relief when I received your letter outlining the expert’s findings in my case resulting in a conclusion that my injury was not due to medical negligence or recklessness but more than likely to a weird accident or happenstance. I am grateful to you and your staff for that knowledge- the knowledge that another person did not actually hurt me and had exceeded the standards of care to me. While I was emotionally devastated by this event in December, I have come to realize it was truly a gift from the Lord for such a trial. I feel I have grown more spiritually mature and with that am experiencing a sense of freedom, and gratitude for the life He has given me. Thank you again for being such a true blessing.
- M.R.
Thank you all for your hard work, and helping me with this… I have no words. But helping me find a little peace with Tracy’s death helps me. I really don’t care about the money, I wanted to sue everyone just to punish them…especially the surgeon. She was ignored in so many ways that’s so unforgivable.
I really, really appreciate all the work that went into this. I just figured that no one would care, or step up to help hold people accountable for Tracy’s death. I thank you Leslie for all you’ve done and being so responsive for over the more than a year we’ve spent on this. It’s all been challenging for me in a lot of ways, but everyone on your side made this “task” as easy as possible for me.
I see Tracy in my dreams, and we’re together or I’m trying to find her, and it always ends in that we’re not together anymore because she died. I wake up to that, and that’s my life. I’ll never truly heal, I just think you live the rest of your life with grief and try to live with it.
Thank you all. I’m glad that we’ve done this, and I’m glad part is over.
Take care and know that I really do appreciate what you’ve done.
- Michael M.
I have been most fortunate to be represented by Davis & Davis in a very complicated medical malpractice case for the past 2 years. First, Leslie and JD took the time to really listen to me and believed in my case when no other law firm did. Second, with decades of legal experience in medical malpractice, JD took a chance on my case and found experts that testified to the wrongs that had been done to me. Third, JD is a skilled negotiator and I came to trust 100% that he had my back and my best interest at heart every step of the way. Fourth, I am positive that JD, Leslie and Crystal work together in the best possible way and they included me as part of their team; this resulted in a very significant mediated settlement without the stress of going to trial. Thank you, JD, Leslie and Crystal for going to bat for me and believing in me. You are all truly exceptional individuals and I am grateful for all you did on my behalf.
- Laura G.

What types of medical malpractice cases does Davis & Davis handle in Texas?+

They also represent clients in cases that other law firms may be unwilling to accept.
How do I know if I have a valid medical malpractice claim in Houston?+
A valid medical malpractice claim generally requires showing that a healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standard of care and that this deviation caused you measurable harm. Common situations include misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, medication errors, birth injuries, and failure to treat. Davis & Davis offers free case evaluations. Their Houston medical malpractice attorneys will review your records and advise whether your circumstances support a legal claim.
Does Davis & Davis only handle cases in Houston, Texas?+

They are able to travel to clients; the firm can be anywhere in Texas within two hours. Regardless of where you are located, you can contact Davis & Davis for a free consultation to discuss your case.
What does it cost to hire Davis & Davis as my medical malpractice lawyers?+
Davis & Davis works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket unless they win your case. You will not spend a single dollar of your own money unless they secure a financial settlement or jury verdict on your behalf. This arrangement allows victims of medical negligence to access skilled legal representation without any upfront cost.
How long does a medical malpractice lawsuit take in Texas?+
Medical malpractice lawsuits in Texas typically take anywhere from one to three years, depending on the complexity of the case, whether it settles before trial, and court scheduling. Texas also imposes a statute of limitations, generally two years from the date of the injury or from when it was discovered, which means it is critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What should I bring to my first consultation with a Houston medical malpractice lawyer?+
When meeting with Davis & Davis for a free case evaluation, bring any medical records, discharge summaries, test results, medication lists, bills, and correspondence from healthcare providers. Also gather a written timeline of events, photographs of any visible injuries, and the names of all treating providers. The more documentation you provide, the better equipped the legal team will be to evaluate your claim quickly and accurately.
What is the cap on medical malpractice damages in Texas?+
Texas law limits non-economic damages, such as pain, suffering, and mental anguish, in medical malpractice cases. The cap is generally $250,000 against individual physicians and $250,000 per healthcare institution, with a combined total cap of $750,000 against multiple defendants. Economic damages like lost wages and medical expenses are not capped. Davis & Davis routinely fights to maximize the total compensation available under the law for their clients.
