The city of Colleyville is a suburb of the Dallas and Fort Worth Metroplex, located in Tarrant County. Colleyville has a population of 22,807 based on the 2010 Census, and is regarded as one of the best places to live in Texas and the country due to its high-ranking public schools, rural atmosphere, and low crime rate.

In fact, Colleyville secured the number one spot in the list of safest cities in Texas in a 2018 report by the National Council for Home Safety and Security in terms of violent crimes and property crimes. But this isn’t to say that Colleyville doesn’t have its fair share of newsworthy crimes and lawsuits.

In 2014, a man sued a bariatric clinic in Colleyville for $10 million after a botched weight loss-inducing surgery resulted in him having both his legs amputated above the knee. Carlos Saucedo spent at least half a million dollars in medical expenses and would need $4 million to pay for his lifelong medical costs, and had to move to Laredo so that his family could take care of him.

If you or your loved one has suffered losses or injuries due to negligence by another party, or if you’re dealing with a situation that requires legal action, it’s recommended that you familiarize yourself with the legal options and resources available to residents of Colleyville.

You can visit the Tarrant County Law Library in Fort Worth, or the Underwood Law Library in Dallas in order to look for legal information which may pertain to or assist you with your issue. You can also do your legal research in the comfort of your own home through LegalMatch’s online Law Library, which contains thousands of legal articles for your perusal.

For those in need of professional legal assistance but can’t afford to hire an attorney, there are a lot of non-profit organizations and agencies that provide free or pro bono legal aid to residents of Colleyville. Depending on the nature of your case, you can try either the Legal Aid of Northwest Texas, Legal Aid of Northwest Texas Bankruptcy Law Clinic, Tarrant County Bar Association Legal Line, or the Texas A&M University School of Law Legal Clinic. All of which are located in Fort Worth.

Despite the abundance of these organizations, they all generally require one to undergo laborious and slow-moving screening and qualification procedures. And even after qualifying for aid, you still need to wait for an available volunteer to assist you with your case. As such, if you’re unable to qualify for their services, or if you’re in urgent need of immediate legal aid, it’s best to consider hiring a lawyer to assist you promptly.

Through LegalMatch, you can quickly find lawyers to assist you with your particular case. You can even match up with those who specialize or are experienced with your specific type of legal issues.
