Paid upfront for what we were told should be a fairly quick uncontested divorce for my girlfriend in April of 2021. It's now been a year and a half and we can't get anyone to answer the phone or email us back for the past 4 months. They won't even reply to our messages sent on Facebook. Before that they kept giving us excuses or would tell us something just to pacify us. Their phone goes to an automated message, after ringing about 5 times, about them starting to be predominantly virtual and to leave a message, which we have now called at least 3 times a week for the past 6 months. The last time we spoke to someone there 4 months ago, she said a court date would be set within a month or two. The other party signed a waiver to appear in court in June of 2021 so there's no valid reason to keep prolonging it. A court date hasn't even been set and minimal paperwork has been submitted. We are about to start looking into other lawyers just so we can recover some of the money paid to Burgess for the original divorce. If you have ANYTHING that needs to be taken care of by a lawyer locally, I'd suggest going anywhere else but here.

Im not sure how this firm has such high reviews, in my opinion "skip" is the worst of the worst and the kind of guy that gives lawyers a bad name wish I would have read up this guy before i hired him.. if your looking for a lawyer that tells you one thing and does another, oes what he wants on your dime including telling private info to the other side that u ask to keep confidential while charging you 200 to 400 dollars an hour to have a paralegal do secretarial work you never asked for and never needed and all you ever are able to talk to is the said paralegal go to meet with him and he leave midmeeting cause he has a higher profile client he needs to talk to and never return but still don't mind to charge you for the whole time your there waiting on him to return only to eventually have his paralegal come tell you they will need to reschedule the meeting after 30 minutes twidling your thumbs waitn on him to return and has been found guilty of lying to a judge in Texas in the past, well you have came to the right place and "skip" is the lawyer for you! If I could give him -100 stars I certainly would. A Crook is the only thing I have experienced him to be. Should have been disbarred years ago, but he's played the game for a long time. I have found out the hard way how crooked that whole lawyer and court game really are in little Rock. And "skip" has proven to me what a careless sorry piece of trash he really is. A legal liar and theif that has no integrity that doesn't mind to burn you in the end. You have been warned.And i don't write reviews but in this case it is certainly necessary. This has been my my experience and opinion of the guy cause he sounds good in the beginning but a dog could do better.

This is an honest, hard working man with a heart for the families and the victims he represents. Johnathon worked with us for nearly a year and a half fighting in my sons custody battle our precious granddaughter. Although our case took MANY turns Johnathon asked questions as necessary and answered all of our most often silly questions with respect and true concern. Jonathon humbly sought the council of other professionals when in question. I would procure the services of Johnathon and his fabulous firm again as well as recommend him to anyone in need of legal services. My son, myself and family are forever indebted to him!!❤️
