Ryan Zehl is the best, very nice, helpful, and compassionate. His firm works very hard to help you! I hired them because my brother was killed on a work site, the firm's track record, and they seemed to really care about their clients and cases. Thank you all at Zehl & Associates for your help.

I can not describe how blown away I am by this law firm. From the first phone call I was directed to Eric Allen, who was so helpful in my situation. I had a complicated legal matter that he was so knowledgeable on and he was able to provide honest and supportive feedback. I am so glad that Google search led me to these people. Please look no further if you are looking for an attorney that will take care of you. Eric, thank you again for your help!!

Theres not enough stars to rate the true quality on here! Everything I've heard about lawyers went out the window when Eric took time on Father's day of all days to contact me back and help assist me with a settlement. I was in desperate need of legal advice & guidance and running out of time. Eric was quick, efficient, HONEST, and did more than beyond more to make sure I was legally protected & being treated fairly. I was at my giving up point on everything until that first conversation with Eric. Zehl Law definitely breaks the mold on lawyers. He was more interested in protecting me than trying to take money from me. Which is a rare thing to find in any industry or just people in general, which has definitely been my case involving everything else in my life. But of all people, a lawyer restored my faith in humanity itself. Thank you for that. Thank you for everything! You've been more than amazing!!!

I would like to start out by saying that an accident that involves injuries are never easy to adapt to. Zehl and Associates made my ordeal a lot smoother than i expected. All my appointments and prescriptions were taken care of. My medication was delivered at my front door. If I needed transportation they supplied it for me. Zehl and Associates are hands down the best personal injury lawyers. During my ordeal i had no problems getting in contact with my lawyer. As we know communication is the biggest problem with law firms. After you obtain a lawyer it is hard to speak with him afterward. These guys treat you like family not a client. I can honestly say that they had my best interest in mind. As far as getting results in a case I can't express my satisfaction. These guys far exceeded my expectation.. i CAN'T BE HAPPIER! if you want results these are the guys. I could go on about these guys but words won't do justice. THANKS ZEHL AND ASSOCIATES!

I have never been in a situation to where I needed the help from a firm. I would like take the time to identify not just one person but the entire staff representing Zehl & Associates. They were punctual and focused diligently on providing me the help I needed after experiencing a truck accident. They made themselves available to me and reassured me that this is how a client should be treated with respect and when I had questions they had answers for me. Please... if you having a hard time deciding on a firm take heed to my review and give Zehl & Associates the opportunity to earn your business. You won’t be disappointed.

When you need help, choosing an attorney is the most important decision you will have to make. My husband was seriously injured, when the tug boat he was working on, sank in the Gulf of Mexico. With the help of Kevin, Eric and their wonderful team, we were taken care of every step of the way. Vickye made sure that all of our questions and concerns were addressed and answered in a timely manner. They went above and beyond our expectations. We were treated with understanding and respect and made sure that all of our needs were met. We highly recommend Zehl and Associates.

Zehl & Associates are a rare and truly unique group of personal injury attorneys. Beyond their impressive undefeated record each member of their team from the receptionists to Ryan Zehl himself take care of their clients as if they were members of their own families. To be a fly on the wall in their office is to witness the overwhelming amount of joy and expertise that Zehl & Associates pours into every case they are entrusted with. While justice for personal injury may often times be bittersweet Zehl & Associates have managed to prove to myself and others that for them justice it's worth fighting for no matter who walks through their door. I can't express enough how much that type is ethic is worth when you're in midst of an ongoing tragedy and need someone to fight for you and your family. I would highly recommend Zehl & Associates to anyone involved in a personal injury accident. My parting advice would be to call them sooner than later. Don't let your current situation no matter how dire consume you. With Zehl and Associates representing your case you have a team of legal experts and genuinely good hearted people going to bat for you.

On may way to work one morning, I was rear ended at high speed by an 18 wheeler. I suffered head, neck,and back injuries due to the truck driver's negligence. As a husband and father to 3 young children, I did not know what to do. I was suffering from some very serious symptoms as a result of the collision. I must admit that I was apprehensive about contacting an attorney at this point. But, did so as the severity of my injuries became more evident. I contacted Zehl & Associates to seek the help that my family so desperately needed. From the first phone conversation with the staff, I knew that I had made the right decision. The law office took immediate action for me. They assisted me in getting the highest quality medical treatment by some of the most respected physicians in the medical field. My family and I were treated with the most sincere respect possible. The staff at the office was top notch and very responsive to every request.They began to prepare my case for trial from day one. I quickly realized that the competence level of the attorneys and staff was absolutely through the roof. Proof of this was the fact that I agreed to a settlement that amounted in over 4 times what the defendant offered at mediation. It far exceeded my expectations. My family and I now have the financial security and satisfaction to know that we will be taken care of for the rest of my life. I will forever owe a huge debt of gratitude to the entire team at Zehl & Associates. I would not hesitate at all to recommend them to anyone who has been injured and is in need of help. Total dedication, respect and competence is what you can expect. We are one thankful family!!!!Tommy East

I was injured in 2016 while working offshore. I did not know what to do. I found Zehl & Associates online and called them immediately. From the first time I spoke with Eric he made me feel confident that I would have a positive outcome. I have worked all my life and not being able to work left me feeling scared an anxious. Eric always did a great job of explaining each step of the case to me, he explained it to me in terms that I could understand. Everyone that I meet at Zehl & Associates were kind and professional. Eric did a great job resolving my case.

I was injured at work and did not know what firm to use. I found Zehl & Associates online and I am glad that I did. From the very beginning they explained the process and exactly what would happen step by step. Eric, Vickye and the rest of the Zehl staff were amazing to me. I am confident that I made the right choice in choosing Zehl & Associates to represent me. Every time I had a question they would respond back to me immediately. I definitely got more than I could ask for and knew that I was in good hands.

My husband was injured. This was such a scary time for myself and my family. My husband retained Zehl and Associates and immediately came a sense of relief as they paid medical bills that caused us a great deal of stress. They really took care of my husband....even came to our home over 1000 miles away. Ryan and his team were amazing! They truly took care of him and treated him like family. Thank you Zehl & Associates for all that you did for our family!

I was injured in an offshore platform explosion in the Gulf of Mexico where over 150 people, including myself, were injured and 2 people were killed. The companies responsible for causing the explosion hired a team of lawyers that fought me and my co-workers every step of the way. We were getting pushed around by the companies and their lawyers, until we hired Zehl & Associates. Zehl & Associates took our case, and got it ready for trial. When it came time to go to trial, the companies offered an amount as settlement that went way beyond my expectations. An offer that would not have been possible without Zehl & Associates hard work and diligence. Beyond the settlement, which helped me and family out tremendously as I could no longer work, Zehl & Associates treated me like family. Ryan and his team were always available to make sure that me and my family had everything we needed while the case was pending. I would recommend Zehl & Associates to anyone who was injured and needed the best personal injury lawyers to fight for them.

Just wanted to say how grateful I am to all of the lawyers at Zehl & Associates for the tremendous effort that was put into my case and the large settlement that I received from it. I have never met a more knowledgeable and respectful group of people. I was in a refinery explosion with third degree burns all over my body. Needless to say it was an absolute terrifying time in my life, but I felt great comfort after talking to the Z&A team. They immediately knew what to do, and secured a large settlement for me that not only gets me the best medical care for life, but also pays for both of my boys to go to any college they want. It also allows me and my wife to live the rest of our lives without ever having to worry about how we're going to pay the bills. Thank you again for the all the hard work.

I was hit by an 18 wheeler on I-20 and injured more than I realized at the time. My truck flipped over and I ended up spending almost 3 weeks in the hospital after 4 surgeries. I'm so grateful that I found Zehl. They know what they're doing and they REALLY care. Whenever we needed something, they were there for us the entire time...from getting me to the best doctors to helping us out at Christmas so we could get presents for the kids. Ryan recommended that we turn down the truck company settlement and get the case ready for trial. I'm glad I listened, because the truck company ended up paying 4 times more than the settlement we turned down. Ryan and his team are the best!

Kyle Watson

Ryan and his team are amazing. They understand the law, how to work up a case, and win at trial. Ryan gets great results quickly and knows how to maximize recovery for his clients. I unequivocally recommend Ryan to anyone who has been impacted by an injury or loss.

From the first time I contacted Zehl and Associates I knew they were going to take care of me. No matter what came at us, they were on it. Ryan, Kevin, Matt and Jennifer they treat you like you are part of their family. They truly improve people's lives. When I retained Zehl and Associates Ryan and his team traveled to my home over 1500 miles from Houston, they sat in my living room and told me they would take care of me and my family. Ryan and his team took care of us! I would without a doubt recommend Zelh and Associates to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney! My only regret was not retaining them sooner. Let Ryan and Kevin get started on protecting you and your family today. Thanks Ryan and Kevin I will never forget you guys! #mywolfpack

I highly recommend Zehl Law! When I was injured on the job, I reached out to Ryan’s office and was greeted with support. I was well taken and care of and really appreciate how the law firm professionals went above and beyond their call of duty to help me. Now I can recover without having to worry about money until I am well enough to get back on the job. Thanks guys!

I came to Zehl Law Firm after I was injured in a car accident. They made me feel comfortable and explained things so I understood what to expect. Along with excellent communication. They were always quick to respond and update me on everything. Kelvin Hayes did a great job with my case and I would be happy to refer him to anyone looking for a auto injury lawyer.

I hired Zehl when I was severely injured doing a Plug and Abandonment job offshore. I'm glad I did, they were incredible. They walked me through every step of the case, made sure that I got to the best doctors, and were always there for me when I was having trouble paying bills when the case was pending. I always felt that I was in good hands and well taken care of, which relieved a lot of my stress and helped put me at ease. Eric and the team at Zehl and Associates represented my best interests, I highly recommend them.

I was hesitant to file a lawsuit when I was injured at work, because I didn't know what to expect and my company kept telling me that "they were going to take care of me." But the medical bills kept piling up, I wasn't able to work and make money to support my family. Eric Allen and the staff at Zehl put me at ease about the process, kept me to up date about what was going on, and devoted all their resources to making sure that I had the money I needed to pay all my medical expenses and take care of myself and my family. I can honestly say that working with Eric, Ryan and the Zehl team was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Thank you.

Husband was killed at a refinery to the lack of safety checks performed by the company he worked for. When I found out he was gone I was so devastated and scared for our family I wasn’t sure what the next step would be. At first I thought his company would do the right thing and take care of us. But was I wrong. They tried to say we could only recover worker’s comp and had no claim against the company. I hired Ryan because of their experience with plant and refinery accident cases. I was so impressed at how professional and caring Ryan and his entire team were. They would call to check on me and my kids and always made sure I had money to pay bills and get presents for my kids on there birthdays and at Christmas. I don’t know where we’d be without there help. Because of Ryan and his team, I was able to pay off the house, put a trust together for my kids to make sure they’re able to pay for college, and never have to worry about having enough money to take care of myself and the kids again. We are so grateful for everything they did for us. Thank you.

Thanks to the hard work from Ryan and his team, a dangerous product that could have hurt thousands of people is now off the street. Even though I suffered from the lack of safety checks from this product, I am happy to have “taken the bullet”, to keep other people safe. Special thanks to Tommy Servos, who kept me informed through out the whole trial and helped me get a record recovery!

Ryan and his team at Zehl & Associates were outstanding from when I first hired them to when they got my case settled. I couldn’t be happier with the results and the work at this law firm has done. I am very thankful and don’t hesitate to give them 5 out 5 stars! You want these guys are your side.

After I was injured at a chemical plant, I needed time to recover from my injuries and a lawyer who could stand up for me and my family against my company. Ryan Zehl was recommended to me from a coworker. Ryan worked hard to prepare my case and kept me and my family in the loop through the entire process. At the end they were able to get me a settlement that was much more than we had expected. I’d recommend Ryan and the team at Zehl to anyone who needs an injury lawyer who’s aggressive, honest and dedicated to protecting their clients.

I grew up in Texas and went to work on an oil rig just like my dad did. It was a point of pride to follow in the same career path as my father, but no one warned me about the constant pending danger of being on the rig. My team and I are professionals that follow the rules and keep safety as priority number 1. But there are some factors to this job that can’t be controlled. Just like the BP Deep Water Horizon oil spill, my rig suffered an explosion due to the lack of up keep and maintenance from our superiors. Ryan Zehl came to our aid to get the compensation my crew and I needed. Having a Houston personal injury attorney from back home represent us was truly a personal and eye opening experience. He truly cared about us and thanks to him, I can recover with my family and the safety precautions on the rig have never been tighter.
