Your lawyer
One lawyer on your file, from the first call
Maricela Arredondo keeps a small office on purpose. When you call, she or her case manager, Efrain Salcido, picks up. When the insurer calls, it talks to her.
She grew up in Robstown and has spent her career on injury cases in Nueces County courts. Maricela and Efrain both speak Spanish, so your case can happen in the language you think in.

Cases
Three kinds of injury cases, nothing else
If yours is another kind, call anyway. If it isn't one she takes, she'll tell you who does.

Car crashes
Rear-ended on SPID, hit at an intersection, sideswiped on I-37. She deals with both insurers so you can heal.
Car crash cases
Truck crashes
Eighteen-wheelers, oilfield trucks and port haulers carry big policies and keep logs. She asks for the logs before they're gone.
Truck crash cases
Hurt on someone's property
A wet store floor, a broken apartment stair, a dark parking garage. The owner had to fix it or warn you.
Property injury cases
Clients
Said after their cases closed
Shared with permission. Every client's case is different, and no review predicts how yours will end.
- Rosalba P.
“She went through the settlement offer line by line, in Spanish, with my mother and me. We knew what we were signing.”
Baltazar V.“The trucking company's adjuster wanted a recorded statement the next day. Maricela told me not to give one, and took the call herself.”
Cortland K.
Free case review
Talk first. Pay only if you recover.
The first call or text is free. If Maricela takes your case, her fee is a share of what she recovers, set in the agreement before any work starts.
Case costs, like filing fees, medical records and expert reports, are separate from the fee. Maricela advances them and they're repaid from the recovery. If there's no recovery, you owe neither the fee nor the costs.
