Disclaimer
Last updated: October 31, 2026
Thanks for stopping by our website. We know that most people who land here are dealing with something hard, like an injury, a mountain of bills, or the loss of someone they love. We want you to find useful information here, and we also want to be upfront about what this website is and what it isn’t. Please take a minute to read the points below.
This site is for general information only
Everything on this website, including our practice area pages, blog posts, videos, FAQs, accident news and resource pages, is meant to give you a general idea of how personal injury, wrongful death and insurance claim matters work in Texas. It is not legal advice, and it shouldn’t be treated as legal advice for your situation.
Every case is different. The facts, the insurance policies involved, the people involved and the timing can all change the outcome. Please don’t make decisions about a claim, a settlement or a deadline based only on what you read here. Talk to a lawyer who has looked at your specific situation first.
Visiting this site does not make us your lawyers
Reading this website, calling our office, sending us an email or filling out a form does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Joel A. Gordon & Associates. That relationship begins only after we have talked about your case, we have decided to take it, and we have both signed a written fee agreement. Until then, we are not your attorneys and we are not responsible for protecting your legal rights.
Please don’t send private details through the website
Our contact form, email and text messages are not a secure place for sensitive information. Until we have agreed to represent you, anything you send us might not be treated as confidential or privileged. Please keep your first message short: your name, how to reach you, and a brief description of what happened. We’ll go over the details when we speak with you directly.
If you already have a lawyer for this matter, please talk to that lawyer instead of relying on this website.
Case results and client reviews
The case results and client testimonials shown on this site are real examples from our past work, but they are not a promise or prediction of what we can do for you. Every case depends on its own facts and the law that applies, and a good result in one case says nothing about how another will turn out.
Where we list a recovery amount, it is the total amount recovered. It is not the amount the client took home. Attorney’s fees, case expenses and medical bills or liens are paid out of that total, and we try to note those amounts alongside each result. Testimonials reflect the personal experience and opinion of the person who gave them. They are not a guarantee that you will have the same experience.
Deadlines can be short
In Texas, there are strict time limits for filing certain legal claims, and some notice requirements are shorter than people expect. If you’ve been hurt or lost a loved one, don’t wait too long to get advice. Waiting can limit your options or end them altogether. Because deadlines depend on the details of each case, we can’t tell you your deadline through this website. Please call us so we can look at your situation.
Where we practice
Joel A. Gordon & Associates is a law firm based in Houston, Texas. Our attorneys are licensed in Texas, and the information on this site is written with Texas law in mind. Laws in other states can be quite different. If your accident or claim happened outside of Texas, we may not be able to help, and you should speak with a lawyer licensed in that state. Laws also change over time, so something you read here may be out of date by the time you see it.
Blog, videos and news posts
Our blog, videos and accident news pages are written to be helpful and easy to understand. They reflect the date they were published, and the opinions in them are those of the firm and its attorneys. They are not a substitute for legal advice and they do not cover every possible situation. We try to keep the information accurate, but we can’t promise that every page is complete or free of mistakes. If you spot something that looks wrong, please let us know.
Links to other websites
From time to time we may link to other websites, such as government agencies, news outlets or social media pages. We include those links as a convenience. We don’t control those websites, we don’t endorse everything on them, and we aren’t responsible for their content or how they handle your information.
Website use and availability
We do our best to keep this website running smoothly, but we can’t guarantee that it will always be available, error-free or free of viruses. You use the site at your own risk. The content, logos, text, photos and videos on this site belong to Joel A. Gordon & Associates or are used with permission, and please don’t copy or reuse them without asking us first.
Attorney advertising
Portions of this website may be considered attorney advertising under the rules that apply to lawyers in Texas. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Questions?
If anything on this page is unclear, or if you’d like to talk to us about what happened to you, we’re happy to help. The first consultation is free.
