LAWBOSS – Harris, Nelsen & Uvalle, PLLC has its principal office in Dallas, at 5001 Spring Valley Rd Ste 240W, near the Dallas North Tollway.

How we work with clients outside Dallas
Distance does not change how a claim is built. The first consultation is by phone, at any hour. If you hire us, the agreement can be signed electronically or by mail, records are requested by our office, and updates come by phone or email. When something needs to be done in person, such as reviewing a release or preparing for a deposition, we arrange a time and place that works for you, including where you are recovering.
City and county claims in nearby towns
If a city bus, a city or county vehicle, or public property played a part in your injury, the government’s deadline applies, not only the two-year rule. Written notice generally must reach the government unit within six months (Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 101.101), and each city’s charter may set a shorter period. Tell us on the first call if a public vehicle or public property was involved, wherever it happened.
Plano
Plano is in Collin County, just north of Dallas, and Medical City Plano is a Level I trauma facility. See our page for a personal injury lawyer for Plano.
Irving
Irving lies west of Dallas, between Dallas and the airports, with Las Colinas at its center. Much of Irving is in Dallas County, so Dallas County’s crash figures and courts are the starting point for many Irving claims. State Highway 183 and State Highway 114 carry heavy traffic through the city.
