Katherine Burnstein came highly recommended by another lawyer I've known for years, and worked for nearly 18 months on my divorce and custody case. Katherine possesses a perfect balance of compassion, empathy, and occasional brutal honesty when necessary. Her years of experience and her clear love of ongoing learning were invaluable in helping me navigate a complex situation that I knew little about. She had the patience and willingness to listen and help me figure out what I wanted and needed, without ever pushing me toward her own conclusions. When the need arose for specialists outside of the field of law to assist with the case, I was very impressed with the experts she brought it. Katherine showed keen attention to detail, catching little details in the settlement proposals that were either errors or ambiguities. In the end, I benefitted from her ability to catch these details that others might have missed. Katherine seems to have good working relationships with other family lawyers in town and is respectful, professional, and friendly when communicating with them. When she needs to, however, she has a fierce strength and voice that gets what needs to be done, done. Going through a divorce is an agonizing experience, and it meant the world to me to have someone like Katherine fighting in my corner and walking with me through that difficult time. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Kathryn is personable, knowledgeable, articulate, thorough, and patient. From day one, I knew that she was going to be a source of comfort during the most trying time of my life. As someone who has never been involved in any sort of court procedure, I felt at ease because she is the best communicator, explaining the process, my rights and what a realistic outcome would look like. I never knew an attorney could be so encouraging. Kathryn has heart, empathy and she was there with me through the whole thing. Her staff is welcoming and friendly, and everyone in the office is prompt about attending your needs. I will never have to search for a family lawyer again because I lucked out and found the best one in town. On my court date, I felt unbelievably calm and collected because she had prepared me well and I knew exactly what to expect. My case closed with little stress and I know it's because she worked diligently to ensure the best outcome for my child and me. I highly recommend Kathryn, especially if you are aiming to protect your child's rights.

Kathryn handled my divorce. She was absolutely intent on making sure I got the very best settlement and on ensuring I understood the repercussions of my decisions during the process. She was direct, especially when she believed I was making decisions against my best interests. She was also flexible when my now-ex-spouse and I were making unusual requests. Kathryn was easy to reach when I had questions. She was supportive, which I very much appreciated. I don't think I realized quite how well she had represented me until the entire process was complete and I could see how great the settlement turned out for me and the children. I highly, highly recommend her.

Jenn has a laid back, easy-to-understand way of explaining potentially complex legal concepts, and when she answers your questions she makes you feel heard, understood, and like the smart person you are! For my small business, I asked her to review the forms I use when new clients / students agree to work with me. During this process, she asked thoughtful questions that made me realize I needed some additional policies and processes, and worked with me so that what I came up with wasn't going to be overkill. I highly recommend Jenn for any of your legal needs, especially if you are a small business looking to get started.

Mr. Ray will give you the best advice for your situation. It may not be what you want to hear, but Mr. Ray will not sugar coat anything just to get you to be his client then learn about your case on your dime. Integrity is a trait that I value greatly when it comes to human interactions. Our innate behavior tends to make us want to trust people when we are in need of help. Mr. Ray fully understands this and will tell you honestly he is not the attorney for your case if there is a more suitable match elsewhere. Mr. Ray is also very attentive to respond to phone calls and e-mails, which is important when minutes seem like hours when you are in that situation. If you are looking for an attorney with integrity and professionalism, Jason Ray will not disappoint.

He helped me get some chiropractic treatment which was very important because I was injured. He is extremely dedicated to getting you the best settlement possible. He is very skilled at weeding out members of a jury that could hurt your case as well. If I am ever in an accident in the future he will be the one that I hire to take my case.

I was wrongfully accused of a Title IX infraction. Marc is an exceptional listener and possesses the innate ability to ascertain facts from friction. After discussing my situation, Marc walked me through the Title IX process and explained how we should address the issue. Marc assisted in drafting a response letter to the adjudicate and coached me leading up to the interview. In the end, the accusation was not a Title IX issue, and flaws and false accusations in the claimant's testimony surfaced in which the case was ruled in my favor. I would not have known how to respond and properly defend myself without Marc’s assistance. Finally, Marc was always responsive and his fee for service was reasonable. The value of legal service with winning results is exceptional. Thank you, Marc.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Marc; but I will give my best attempt for anyone going through challenging and distressful legal matters to completely give him your trust!!! I truly did not believe my case would result in being COMPLETELY DISMISSED, and somehow Marc was able to get it done!!!!! Filtering through my options of attorneys, Marc gave me the best offer of anyone and had my interest even more when he told me he was previously a prosecutor for several years. I just followed everything Marc guided me to do. He constantly walked me through everything every time we met. The justice system is certainly intimidating, and he made the experience simple from the beginning. He explained what was happening, every outcome and exactly how they came to be, what things to expect, what things to prepare for and how to prepare for them. Facing a number of F1 charges, getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, I was anticipating that I'd have to do probation in the VERY least. Getting my case dismissed entirely still seems unfathomably unbelievable to me, and I am infinitely grateful for everything Marc was able to do for me. The weight of relief I feel is inconceivable! He is incredible at what he does, and I cannot recommend him enough!!!!! I will always recommend him to anyone for as long as he is in the business!

I hired Marc Chavez for a Title XI case I was named a Respondent for. To put it briefly, he was incredible. He was present at all of my interviews with investigators and provided me with useful legal counsel throughout the entire process. Marc without a doubt is in a class of his own. On the day of our hearing, the Complainant tried pulling a fast one on us by having a surprise witness show up to testify against me. Marc handled the situation amazingly. He managed to stay calm and continue to present our case in a clear and concise manner. If you find yourself being falsely accused of violating Title XI policies at your university, Marc Chavez will be key to your exoneration. I cannot recommend him enough.

Mr. Rodney Montes, Attorney is an expert at the rule of law of the Texas Board Of Nursing and the Texas Medical Board. The Texas Board Of Nursing (BON) served me with allegations such as "sleeping, medication errors, and assault" while on duty. I hired Mr. Montes to respond to the Board Of Nursing allegations. As a result, the Board did not take any action against me and the investigation was completed and closed based on my attorney's response to the board.

Andrew Harris is an exceptional attorney. This is the second time I have had to go through a child support battle with my ex. The first time was very stressful and my ex’s attorney made it very difficult to be able to come to any sort of agreement or common ground; it makes me sick to even think about. With Andrew, it was not like this at all! Andrew is so personable, that it makes it easy to talk out everything with him. He did a great job at calming my anxiety and reassuring me. His ability to be so personable was a huge help when it came to negotiating with my ex and his attorney this time around. Andrew was able to get almost everything that I asked for; due to his overwhelming ability to control the negotiations, but he also , in a very personable and professional manner, was able to keep my ex in check when he tried to start arguments. What really impressed me about Andrew as well, is the great expectations he sets. He is not out for your money! He made sure that we were not doing anything unnecessary to help keep cost down. Andrew always got back to me in a timely manner, so I was never left wondering where my case stood or what was going on. He made sure to double check everything with me before doing anything, just to make sure that my wishes and wants were always being met. Child Support battles and custody battles are so hard, but Andrew was so great and made it easier than I ever could have imagined. I definitely recommend him and will use him again for any further legal matters.

The first meeting I had with Bryan Forman, I knew he was the one I hoped to have represent me in pursuing funds (mostly retirement) I was not able to get returned by a broker I had done business with for over 10 years. At age 70, I discovered that I had been taken for a ride. Not only could I not get to my money, I could not get any records either, nor was the broker's company or FINRA any help. Bryan listened, and was able to explain to me exactly what the laws say, what rules and regulations are applicable, and what he could and could not do to help me recover any money. I certainly did not hide my anger since I had already been trying to deal with the broker for 2 years. Bryan, however, acknowledged my frustrations while keeping the focus on recovery of funds. I found that he was very honest in what the actual possibilities were, and I always felt that he was working for my best interest. I cannot overemphasize how Bryan's knowledge of how a brokerage business works (he formally owned one himself) affected my case. In mediation he brought up a policy that brokerages have that even the experienced, opposing attorney didn't know about which ultimately helped my case and brought some restitution! I always found Bryan available for consultation and I certainly appreciated his willingness to explain things to me. This was also true of his assistant, Melody Bounds. As a result of having Bryan as my attorney, I have received some restitution with a possibility of more to come.

Appears to have excellent knowledge of the laws and procedures that were or could have been utilized in my case. Has many outside contacts locally and nationally to contact for information and for second opinions. Bryan did a good job of presenting, or formatting my case to work best for me. He presented the case well in mediation and linked people to the liability side, beyond the first level. If there was anything that Bryan might have done better, it would be in the area of the settlement amount. The individuals, that were liable in the case, gave there financial positions, which was broke, none of which was truly validated. Settlement amounts were partially based on these, unsubstantiated claims.

Parker was instrumental in getting the best outcome possible, all charges were dismissed! I was facing very serious criminal charges and never having faced any criminal charges before, he informed me of all that I was up against and all the possible outcomes. The legal process was pretty long but he was able to respond either by phone calls or emails and keep me up to date with the progression of my case. He was able to get all my charges DISMISSED, including a Felony! This was not a typical outcome for what I was facing and I can’t say enough to thank him for getting my life back on track.

Bonnie Nicole (Nikki) Hudman was exactly what I wanted and needed in a divorce lawyer. So often, we hear about contentious divorces in which the focus seems to be making the opposing party as miserable as possible. I did not want my case to be like that. Sure, making a cheating spouse go through all kinds of hell would be enormously satisfying; but, after all, that approach only serves to make everyone miserable and runs up your legal fees. I wanted a lawyer who is smart, someone who pays extraordinary attention to the details, and a lawyer who is professional and completely ethical. Nikki fulfilled all those requirements. I never doubted her loyalty to me. I know she had plenty of other clients, but she made me feel as though my case was of the utmost importance. I tried to not call or email her unless I really needed to; but when I did, she was very prompt to respond. When my case went to mediation, I was ready to give into demands from the opposing counsel. She looked me square in the face and said she would not let me do that. She said that I deserved more. Now, eight months later, I'm so happy she did that. I suppose we could have gone to trial to fight for an even greater percentage of the marital property, but Nikki clearly explained the possible benefits and the likely added expense. She definitely had my best interest in mind rather than increasing her legal fees. In the end, I'm very pleased with the outcome. My case finished with a property division I'm happy with, legal fees that weren't too painful, and the knowledge that my lawyer did a top-notch job for me. Best of all, I walked away with my dignity. Can't say that for the other side! Just a note about Nikki's firm: Everyone that worked on my case was professional and courteous, especially Nikki's assistant. Every time I went to their office, I was treated with respect and kindness. I initially consulted with one of the partners. He suggested that I work with Nikki. He must have known she would be the perfect fit for my needs!

I had the occasion to consult with Bruce regarding a real estate ownership issue as it related to a minority stockholder, and also an insurance question. I felt that Bruce was thorough in his research and knowledge of those subject matters, and gave advice consistent with what was in my best interest. I feel Bruce can be aggressive when he needs to be, but understands the compromise necessary in daily life. Bruce is an accomplished litigator, and was referred by another lawyer who felt Bruce was more qualified in the litigation area.

Bill and team really are the best. While my very high-conflict divorce was finalized six years ago, my ex continued to drag us back to court over minutia every year since then; that is when I hired Bill. At ever corner, Bill had my children's best interest in mind. Any advice he gave me, was prefaced with "What is going to be best for your kiddos is..." Bill has the utmost integrity, is an unflappable professional, and he is a genuinely good person. I highly recommend Bill and his superstar team.

Can't recommend Bill Powers and his staff highly enough. Mr. Powers handles all elements of family law--in the diciest situations, when the chips are down, you want someone who has been there before and who has the temperament and expertise to carry the day. Bill Powers is just that attorney, and he is backed up by an efficient and courteous staff. In our case, he saved our family. When family-law issues come into your life, don't make a move without calling Mr. Powers first.

Bill guided me through my divorce, that started out friendly but ended up very contentious. He dealt with the change and modified our approach on the fly while maintaining a high level of professionalism. Bill's staff was empathetic and efficient which made the process much easier. His advice to me kept the process moving and on track. During mediation, Bill did a great job of getting us to a settlement that I wasn't sure we could make happen. When the dust settled, I'm glad that I had him represent me.

Maryam is as good as they come. She explains the complexities of tax issues in a very clear way. However, the best thing about her service is that once she has the ball, she's off and running. She takes care of everything. And, if you're a financial idiot like me, she walks you through step-by-step anything you might need to do. I can't recommend Maryam enough. She's incredible at what she does and is a good person to boot.

I could not be more happy with the outcome of my case. I was arrested for DUI with a high BAC and a multi car accident (no one was hurt) so my initial situation had little hope. After meeting with Amando for the first time he made it clear to me that the journey through this situation may be tough, but the final product might not be as bleak as it seems. Amando got me to do all of the victim impact panels and alcohol awareness classes out of the way at the front end and made a good enough case to the prosecutor that my DUI was dismissed! A plea deal resulted in the case being refiled as a lesser charge but the great weight of a DUI being forever stamped on my background was lifted. I can’t thank this man enough for his expertise and hope throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone who may be going through something similar

Amando was extremely throughout with my case. As an experienced litigator he has a thorough understanding of the law and and explores every angle closely making every effort to think of any edge case that may be used against his clients. I am grateful to have had Amando in my corner during such a stressful ordeal and even more so with the results he yielded.

Amando is one of attorneys in the firm. The firm helped me set up expected terms for a case plea. The terms were acceptable for the charge but would have a lasting negative impact on my life. Amando strived to achieve a more favorable result for his client (myself) and continued to negotiate over time with the prosecution team. It was because of his persistence and resolve that we were legally able to downgrade a severe charge to a lesser charge. The result will or would have, in the case of the more severe charge, a major impact on my life in terms of social and societal implications. He clearly showed concern and care for his client. The case could have been closed several months prior to the actual plea date. Amando chose to provide added professional value and service and not see his client have trouble finding a job or experience repercussions for a criminal record. His personable attitude is ideal for a courtroom setting where an attorney must be respected and well-liked by the prosecution and state employees. I feel that his demeanor and candor played a significant role in achieving better terms for the case. The legal fees were well worth the result for the outcome of my case. I felt as if he did go above and beyond for the benefit of the client. I highly recommend Amando Pena for legal services. The firm did a great job with my case; it was Amando's added effort though that turned an acceptable fate to an highly satisfactory scenario.

I don't even know where to start with the amazing and caring service I got from this firm. Deanna and Paula were absolutely amazing. My divorce case was not an easy one at all from all aspects and Weinman & associates were there for me every day, every moment, every morning and evening. These ladies are truly angels and they saved me from being down and feeling the pain of going through a divorce. I was provided with all the info and data I needed at anytime, I had a direct line via text and calls to my lawyer at any moment. My case ended pretty quick and that is really thanks to Deanna's support and consultation she provided me daily and weekly. The process was very clear and this firm really feels like a family during the hardest times! I will recommend this firm to anyone who is in need of family law support, and especially Deanna! Miracles do happen and they made my life much easier and calm to head toward new start! Thank you so much girls!

Daryl Weinman is just an amazing attorney! She is super smart, very knowledgeable in family law (believe me, there are family law attorneys who aren’t), super efficient, and very helpful. I have experience working with other family law attorneys. I’m super glad I have switched to Ms. Weinman. It was worth every penny!!! A lot of lawyers charge the same, however, they are not even close to Daryl’s expertise! All of Ms. Weinman’s team is a pleasure to work with, very professional, intelligent, and with strong work ethic!

Liz was far more knowledgeable and experienced. She worked with me for over a year, guiding me successfully through the probate proceedings in the Austin probate court. She was very skilled,always helpful and easy to work with at all times. Her attorney fees were always reasonable. I most strongly recommend her to anyone needing a probate lawyer.

I would highly recommend Frank de la Garza to any customer who seeks superior services as well as results. He and his team of skilled legal advisers and strategist treated my case along with myself, with nothing but the utmost of regards. He’s a lawyer who actually considers the client’s well be being during even the smallest of decision. As a client, I was never subjected to any useless task. My time was never waste. Being a husband, father, and teacher, time is extremely limited. He kept informed of every decision and potential outcome despite my absence from several meetings. Mr. de la Garza was extremely knowledgeable and productive. If you are in need of legal services I urge you to at least contact him. It could be the best decision of your life. The Carter family will be forever grateful!!! Thank you Mr. de la Garza for treating my family as your own. Alfred

From the minute I walked into Jorge’s office I felt good. When we sat down and spoke about why I was there I was treated with the utmost attention and respect. I broke down crying a few times and Jorge was professional and very concerned about my situation. When I left his office I had other attorneys to visit but I felt so good that I went home and knew that Jorge was my attorney. Jorge showed me emotion, a human element you do not find in some attorneys. I do not know how to really put into words what he has done for me. These past two years have been extremely rough for me. I have had my breakdowns and he has been there for me to inform me the laws, the fine print that we common citizens just do not know about. Jorge also talked to me like a man, he talked to me like a person and not a CASE! I feel that is very important. I never was called by a secretary about anything to do with my case. Jorge called me directly! Literally I could go on and on because this time in my life caused me so much loss and suffering and Jorge defended me and I am so grateful that I walked into his office two years ago. Jorge, thank you.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.

  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
