Why Do You Need a Spanish-Speaking Lawyer?
Injuries and property damage caused by an accident are a lot to deal with. But imagine trying to handle doctors, insurance companies and compensation when English is not your first language?
Unfortunately, we hear many Latinos feel they’re taken advantage of in these situations. In the worst cases, you’re pressured into signing away your rights to the compensation you deserve—without you even realizing what’s happening.
This is why it’s important to work with a Spanish-speaking lawyer.
About Dagoberto J. Rodriguez
Dagoberto J. Rodriguez is a bilingual personal injury attorney born in Carácas, Venezuela, and the owner of Rodriguez Law Firm. He speaks Spanish and English fluently and is licensed to practise personal injury law in Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C. and Texas.
Since founding Rodriguez Law Firm in 2018, he has helped Latinos recover millions of dollars in compensation following accidents that weren’t their fault. His case results range from $10,000 to over $1 million and his specialism is in car accidents.
But that’s not the only reason Rodriguez Law Firm has received over 750+ five-star reviews.
Dagoberto J. Rodriguez emigrated to the United States as a young man, and sustained injuries in an accident while working in construction. His case was rejected by a well-known personal injury firm because it was “too small” and because Dagoberto was a native Spanish speaker.
Since this experience, Dagoberto saved up to put himself through a law degree at the University of Kansas School of Law. After setting up Rodriguez Law Firm, he vowed to help everyone with a personal injury case – no matter how small, and no matter where they come from.
What if I am undocumented?
It does not matter if you don’t have US citizenship. As Dagoberto recently explained to his 200k+ followers on Instagram, you can recover after an accident even if you are undocumented in the United States. So long as the accident wasn’t your fault, you’re still protected.
In fact, Dagoberto even once won a compensation case for an undocumented Spanish-speaker who was accidentally hit by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle.
You do not need to be worried about calling the police. Through Rodriguez Law Firm’s medical partners, you can also receive the medical treatment you deserve. But you must proceed carefully.

How much are the legal fees?
Rodriguez Law Firm works with a no-win, no-fee promise. What does this mean? It means if we don’t win your case, then you owe us nothing.
You will have zero upfront costs to hire us as your bilingual attorney. You’ll be able to access medical treatment and car repairs and only pay the agreed fee after you receive your compensation.
As Dagoberto recently explained to radio host J Molina, many personal injury lawyers in the United States agree a fee, but then include personal expenses and hidden costs. We don’t do that at Rodriguez Law Firm. Our promise to add zero extra costs and charges is written in the first sentence of the agreement you sign when hiring us as your bilingual attorney.
The Benefits of a Bilingual Personal Injury Attorney
Approximately 52.6 million people speak Spanish in the United States, and 38 million people speak Spanish as their primary language at home. If you or a loved one are primarily Spanish speakers, then a Spanish-speaking lawyer can give you added confidence when preparing a compensation claim.
