D____: Our client was a 26-year-old, unmarried illegal alien working as a laborer for a roofing contractor in a North Texas apartment complex project. The contractor failed to provide basic fall protection to our client and his co workers. As a result, our client fell three stories, leading to injuries that took his life. After an intense legal battle, our firm secured a $1,000,000.00** settlement for the laborer's father, a Mexican citizen, on the eve of trial.

** A contingent (%) fee charged on the successful recovery resulted in a fee of $400,000.00 and $24,800.00 in litigation expenses which were reimbursed by the client out of the gross settlement amount.
