Law Firm Overview

At Clay Dugas & Associates, while we have handled cases throughout the United States. We primarily represent families and individuals in the Beaumont area and throughout Southeast Texas and Southwestern Louisiana. We try to ease clients' fears and confusion by explaining the legal process clearly in either English or Spanish, and in simple, straightforward terms that are easy to understand.

We don't get paid until you do! We advance for all costs involved in preparing your personal injury case including expert fees, private investigators, depositions, and travel. We also recognize that after an accident, injuries and grief can leave people overwhelmed and in difficult financial shape. We believe that having the right law firm to represent you shouldn't have to cost a fortune. At our firm, it doesn't. Here, your first consultation is always FREE. Fees and costs are discussed up front—there is no “guessing” as to what your fee might be for our services. The fact of the matter is simple: We don't get paid until you get paid. In other words we work on a percentage of the recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe us nothing!

At our initial meeting, you will find out whether your situation requires legal assistance and about what our law firm can do to help. You are also going to meet attorneys and other staff members who genuinely care about you and your legal concerns. We want to help. But if we cannot give your case the attention it deserves, we will be honest about that. We do not take cases unless we feel we can devote the resources necessary to attend to them properly.

However, we believe that taking good legal care of injured people means more than just exceeding their expectations while their case is ongoing. We believe that good legal care means that once you have been a client of this firm, you are always a client and are always welcome to call on us for advice or representation in other legal concerns.
