Hired Attorney 2022-2024When I contacted Aaron Brock at the law offices of Brock & Gonzales, I was in a terrible situation. I had suffered a workplace injury and I didn’t know where to turn. Aaron immediately put my fears to rest and at that moment I knew I was in good hands. It was undoubtedly one of the most challenging times of my life, but the staff at Brock & Gonzales took really great care of me. Douglas B. Hayes, the attorney who worked on my case, was amazing. He helped me understand the legal process and provided me with the information needed to make well-informed decisions. Doug listened to my concerns and was excellent at communicating how to approach the most complex issues in my case. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and has compassion for his clients. Doug and his team were highly successful in getting me a fantastic settlement. If you are looking for an attorney that will work tirelessly for you and fight to the bitter end, Douglas B. Hayes is the attorney for you!

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
