Meet Corey Gomel
Houston car accident attorney Corey Gomel leads (713) A-B-O-G-A-D-O | Abogados de Accidentes, a Houston personal injury firm that represents people hurt in car, truck and rideshare crashes, and families who have lost a loved one to someone else's negligence.
How Corey came to Houston. Corey was born on Long Island, New York, and moved with his family to Houston during high school. “I know what it's like to land somewhere new and have to figure things out. Houston became home.” He attended college and law school in Texas, earning his law degree in 1990.
Why Corey chose injury law. “I got into injury law because I wanted to work for regular people. When someone gets hurt in a wreck, their whole life gets turned upside down, and the companies on the other side are counting on them not knowing what to do. I wanted to be the person who levels that out.”
Serving Houston's Spanish-speaking families. Corey built the firm to serve Houston's large Spanish-speaking community, which is why the number is (713) A-B-O-G-A-D-O. Clients can speak with someone in Spanish from the very first minute, without waiting for a translator. The firm represents only people, never insurance companies or businesses.
Corey's philosophy. “You beat that with patience and persistence. You explain everything clearly, in the language the client is comfortable in. And you make it obvious to the other side that you're not going away.”
In more than 30 years of practice, Corey has handled car accidents involving negligent and drunk drivers, truck and rideshare collisions, and wrongful death claims. The American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys named him one of the 10 Best Attorneys in Texas for Client Satisfaction.
Corey has been married to his college sweetheart, Cynthia, since 1992. Their daughter, Madeleine, recently earned her doctorate in biomedical engineering from Rice University.
