No, we are not a big Texas city like Dallas or Houston. Brownsville, Texas, is a small town, and we know that. And we are proud of it, too.
Small-town living is unique. Unlike a big city, you can run into friends at the grocery store. And if a neighbor needs help, we don’t drive by; we step up and assist because we are all in this together. That type of American spirit is something we appreciate and practice.
Musicians have been singing the praises of small towns for decades. Several stars who made it big came from a little ‘burb themselves. Want to feel the vibes of small-town living? Listen to a few of these songs:

Toughness is also part of being a small-town resident. Only some things are convenient to get to, so you make due, or do without. But there are times when a tough-as-nails local needs assistance and not just any neighbor can help. When a local has suffered injuries from a car crash, trucking accident, or motorcycle crash, only Brownsville’s best law firm will do.
Brownsville Locals ‘Don’t Sweat It” with a Top Attorney on Their Side
Brownsville residents living in the RGV close to the Mexico border are acclimated to uncomfortable situations…like the weather! We manage to work and play in sweltering heat almost all year round. Our winter month is January, with daily highs of 71 degrees! So yes, we perspire, but even in sub-tropical humid temperatures, there are very few situations we tend to sweat over.
One thing that can cause real trouble is when a hard-working Brownsville resident suffers from a personal injury. For instance, our RGV roadways are cluttered with big rigs, semi-trucks, cattle trailers, and farm equipment. That’s good for the economy but hard on drivers. One crash with an 18-wheeler, and a person can lose their car and their ability to earn a living (https://jvlawfirm.net/practice-areas/trucking-accidents/). It takes work to calculate all the liabilities from a car accident. A few things to consider are medical expenses, time away from work, motor vehicle damage, and long-term recovery costs.
The National Safety Council, or NSC, looks at the average cost by injuries on this website page: https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/all-injuries/costs/guide-to-calculating-costs/data-details/. The NSC notes a person can lose up to $221,000.00 from apparent injuries after a car crash. That number is more than most Brownsville residents earn in a year. The financial impact can be substantial and take several years to recover. This is where a small-town local needs a tough-as-nails champion to fight for them.
Javier Villarreal Won’t Allow Big Insurance Adjustors to Treat a Brownsville Local Like a Small Problem
Car crashes, boating accidents, or slips and falls at work can be handled in a small town, too. JV Law is the personal injury attorney with an address right in Brownsville. Neighbors who have suffered from an accident and are struggling with an insurance adjustor to get paid can stop by and see us. Javier Villarreal has served the RGV for over twenty years, fighting for fair compensation for South Texas locals in court.
Besides car crashes, we also support wrongful death (https://jvlawfirm.net/practice-areas/wrongful-death/), bus accidents, work-related injuries, dog bites, pedestrian injuries, and construction accidents (https://jvlawfirm.net/practice-areas/construction-accidents/).
We bring our small-town values and toughness to the courtroom and fight for our clients, too. Insurance adjusters are not there to help pay out fair claims for accidents. Their job is to save their company as much money as they can. Rio Grande Valley residents don’t need to “tough it out” and financially suffer from a low-balled insurance claim payout. They have families to support and work to get back to. They may be resilient and fight hard to recover from their injuries, but they also don’t need to suffer through financial strife.
