How We Work

How LOAR evaluates cases.

We are deliberately selective. Here is how we decide which matters we can serve well — and what that means for clients and referring attorneys.

Why we are selective

LOAR PLLC is built around disciplined case selection rather than high-volume intake. We take on a manageable number of matters so our attorneys can prepare each one thoroughly, stay close to the people involved, and invest the time and resources a serious case requires. Being selective is not about turning people away — it is about being honest regarding where the firm can add real value, and helping everyone else find the right path.

What we consider

Every potential matter is evaluated on its own facts. When we review a case, we weigh factors such as:

The harm involved

The nature and seriousness of the injury or loss, and how it has affected the person and their family.

Liability and evidence

Whether the facts, records, and available evidence support a clear theory of responsibility.

Source of recovery

Whether there is an insurance policy, company, or other source from which a recovery could realistically be obtained.

Complexity and fit

The resources and expertise a case will require, and whether it fits the firm’s experience and current capacity.

We also consider the referral relationship, the client’s goals, and whether LOAR is genuinely the right firm for the matter. We do not publish internal thresholds or scoring rules; each case is a judgment made on its individual merits.

What makes a case strong

Strong cases usually share a few things: a serious, well-documented injury; facts that point clearly to who is responsible; evidence that can be preserved and developed; and a realistic source of recovery. Time matters, too — evidence disappears, deadlines run, and early legal guidance can protect a claim before insurers shape the narrative.

What to expect from us

  • A prompt, respectful review. Every inquiry is read. We aim to respond quickly, usually within one business day.
  • An honest answer. We will tell you clearly whether we believe we can help, and why.
  • A helpful path forward either way. If a matter is not the right fit for LOAR, we try to point you toward a more appropriate resource. A decline is never a dismissal of what you are going through.
For referring attorneys: we treat every referral as both a client matter and a relationship. We evaluate promptly, communicate throughout, honor the referring relationship, and handle the client with care. Learn more on our Attorney Referral page.

Not sure if you have a case?

A free, confidential consultation is the simplest way to find out. There is no obligation, and no attorney fee unless LOAR recovers for you.

© 2026 LOAR PLLC. Attorney Advertising. Attorney responsible for this website: Amber Russell. Principal office: Austin, Texas. Submitting a form, sending email, or calling does not create an attorney-client relationship; representation begins only through a written engagement agreement. Personal injury matters accepted on a contingency basis involve no upfront attorney fee. If no recovery is obtained, the client owes LOAR no attorney fee and does not reimburse LOAR for case expenses advanced by the firm. If a recovery is obtained, the attorney fee is calculated first and approved case expenses are then reimbursed from the proceeds as stated in the written engagement agreement. Medical bills, liens, treatment costs, and other personal obligations remain the client’s responsibility. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
