Jack and his staff were superb! I am not a direct family member but I was at the consultation for moral support to my grieving family after having lost their father, my uncle. Jack took the case and resolved it with a great outcome. He advised that it would not be an easy case but his experts, they were able to sue the nursing home and make them accountable.

I hired Jack back in 2020 to work on a wrongful death claim. I just received a letter in the mail that he dropped my case. No explanation. Nothing. His assistant talked to me probably 4 times. I talked to Jack twice. I have three months before this case can never be tried. Come to find out Jack never filed anything or did anything on this case. This is just wrong. All he did was waste a year and a half.

I hired Jack to deal with a nursing home case involving my grandmother and cannot say enough about his professionalism and service. Not only was he able to provide an invaluable wealth of information, he was able to handle the the delicate subject matter and provide my family with comfort and closure, something I will forever be in his debt for.

This attorney should not be entrusted with your legal problems. He does not timely handle the defense or prosecution of suits entrusted to him. He does not pay his legally incurred bills by legal vendors and does not pay his employees.

A neighbor of mine here in Far West Texas attempted to steal 2/3rds of my one acre parcel of land with what was proven to be a fraudulent claim of adverse possession. The neighbor is a retired county judge and his brother is also a lawyer; he had free legal services at his disposal. My neighbor is a long standing member of the good old boy network down here in Far West Texas; his track predatory track record not withstanding. Jodi took my case; she took on an ex county judge along with his brother’s law firm and beat them both handily. I retained possession of my property. The one acre parcel is all I have, and I am so thankful to have had Jodi and her team in my corner fighting for me every step of the way!

After 3 years of being classified disabled and not given work clearance by a group of 5 doctors, and having gone through all my savings paying bills, mortgage, insurance, taxes yet continually denied for Social Security Disability, and no money for a lawyer, my medical staff signed me up for legal assistance. A couple of days after, Jodi called me. Explained she’s ‘criminal defense’ but she wanted to help. We met at least weekly for about 2 months. From my memory, stories etc, she tracked down doctors, police officers, etc etc. she demanded that the Social Security Court hear my case. We got a court date 5 weeks ahead. We appeared before the judge with well over 3000 pages of evidence. She told the judge she was not a specialist in medical law but defense. After a hearing that lasted about 3 hours, she and I both thanked the Judge for his time, at which time he congratulated Jodi on a spectacular presentation and research in a ‘strange’ field. He adjourned advised we’d both be alerted after he reviews the evidence and makes a decision. About 2 weeks, we both received a judgement. She won for me! Got maximum allowed AND total reimbursement for back pay dating back over 3 years! Jodi, in my case, was prepared, had a stellar plan and saved. me from life on the street! I owe her my Everything! Thanks again Jodi! I love you!!!!!!

To be fair and honest, I would not recommend this lawyer to a friend, but to maybe somebody with a very small case. She was a waste of my time, ( I stayed in Houston, TX at the time), money, and effort. I traveled to her office from Houston, with faith, thinking that she had it all for this case. She talked about how she was going to do it all, plan, write memo's. The thing that I remember mostly is that she kept emailing me to "hang in there". Hang in where!! Are you working on and are going to take on this case or aren't you?! Don't waste my darn time! If she did not think that she could take on heavy case, such as a writ of habeas corpus (our case) then don't get us excited in the beginning having we think that you are going to be dedicated, don't take our money as a d*mn retainer, and don't keep sending emails stating that you are working on it and how I'm hanging in there! I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT! She took "her fees" out of the retainer that we paid her and told us that she had other cases and was too busy. WHAT!? She basically took on other cases and left ours, an innocent family, after having been fighting the stupid state of Texas for 28 years, and resigned. Was it money the reason?? Was it lack of knowledge for a writ of habeas? Or was it really fear? Was this case too heavy for you? She should have stated this crap way in the darn beginning! She then refunded my $$ to my parents when it was I who paid her from my bank card. Which kind of a lawyer is this and what kind of business is she running? She could have gotten sued for that alone! Do not waste my time, Lady!

Kristina Chung, Attorney. I am so honored and blessed to have this opportunity to share my experience as one of her clients. Ms. Chung not only continuously performs above expectations; she stepped up and committed to the time and complexity that my case was likely to involve when I need the help the most. As a single father, custody cases are extremely difficult especially when CPS was once involved; but Ms. Chung did not let that deter her at all, she took the challenge with a badge of honor. Ms. Chung is an outstanding attorney with the expertise in representing clients in complex Family Law cases. Any client should feel it is a privileged to have Ms. Chung as their attorney. Her integrity, character, compassion, dedication and professionalism is to be envied by others in her field of work. Her knowledge, skills, ability and most of all excellent communication was off the chart. She always displayed personal attention to details and was very responsive to all my emails, texts and phone calls. Ms. Chung makes a client feel like they are her "only" client with the tireless efforts she makes to give them her 100% best. Ms. Chung never let me down and she will NOT disappoint any client that she represents, I am a first hand witness to that. If I could give her 1 million stars instead of (5) I would. There are not many out there that have her skills, expertise and integrity. I highly recommend The Chung Law Firm if you ever find yourself needing an excellent Attorney for any legal services she provides.

Kristina is an excellent lawyer. She is detailed, professional, fair, timely in her response time, and always goes the extra mile. She has tremendous empathy and compassion as well as professionalism -- an unusual, wonderful combination. Not only is she very relational, she is also a very strong advocate for her clients. Her integrity always keeps her on the right track even when situations get tough. I trust her legal expertise and judgment implicitly. I would highly recommend Kristina Chung as a lawyer when legal representation is needed!

A fee for service was agreed upon and paid in full for which not only did Mr. Leavitt did not perform as promised but after a period of time, during which he did little or no work, he asked for more money. Apparently lazy, distracted, self-centered.

Randy Leavitt saved my life. He kept a clean man's record clean when I was in the most unfortunate of circumstances. He is the epitome of a Super Lawyer. He will never over promise, never sugarcoat, never mislead you. A 100% straight shooter and he means business. You can trust that he will always work in your best interest. Randy knows the machine that is the Travis County legal system as well and better than any attorney out there, so if you hire him, listen to him and follow his instructions. Anyone in a precarious and frightening situation would be lucky to have him fighting for them. I cannot recommend Randy highly enough.

Horrible. Just horrible. We’ve spent six years with this man and his firm “representing” us. Once you’re done paying his fees, he drops you. No call or response unless you reach out to them. Even then, he’ll ghost you. Come to find out, he messed up our documents/sent incomplete files to the government and failed to notify us that our case was terminated over two years ago. Had to find out through our new attorney. Instead Kevin Boyd strung us along to believe we were further into the process to clearing up our case. This man feeds on the under served communities. He does irreparable damage with no regard to the people he claims to help. He’s been reported to the State Bar for falsifying documents in the past AND for failing to show up in court for his clients. Look it up, it’s public record. Please do your research. Do not trust this man with your fate let alone to return a phone call when the money has been paid.

It was horrible to speak with her. It was supposed to be a $20 consultation that they decided to add over a $100 to and then decided to add even more in costs. I thought finally I would be able to at least pay someone to look at the evidence. I paid at least $300 for May Yang to talk over me, tell me how I was uncooperative, refused to look at the evidence I had to pay extra to submit, put me under pressure to answer her why questions correctly and interrupt the questions she allows me to voice. It was maddening. It was rude. She would say she doesn't know much about immigration law and then tell me how I was wrong about immigration law despite 30 years experience in the field. She never bothered to get to know me nor what my concerns were. She took the money for the consultation, it was beyond a reasonable amount, and failed to deliver. She charges $300 an hour And Is Not Worth It. Not to me is it worth it. I am out of money for a person who wanted to complain about me during the consultation. She is extremely inconsiderate. She apparently likes to cuss a lot focusing on the F word and the S word. I didn't mind that part. But she does like to do that if you want to spend your money to listen to it.

Not only is May Yang proficient in all aspects of guardianship law, she is amazingly well-informed about all aspects of disabled adult custody law, social security benefits, and involuntary commitment rules. I was extremely grateful for May's insight into my daughter's character, her honesty about what our options were, and her patience, understanding, and professionalism. She was always concise and articulate in her descriptions of the challenges we could face, and she consistently found solutions to even the most complex of problems. You could not ask more from a lawyer. Consider yourself lucky if you find May Yang!

I contacted Mark for a case of mine that was very similar to a case he had in the past. Long story short, Mark was out of town and could not take my case. However, he gave a lot of free advice that helped me to handle it myself. I used the case law established by his previous case to push for what I wanted - and I got it. Additionally, there was a very painful personal loss involved in our case. Mark, while traveling, took time to introduce me to other people experiencing similar grief. He was very kind and considerate. I was really moved by his actions, he had no idea who I was and is a very busy man. If you want a proven winner who also has a heart - this guy. Oh, and READ his other reviews. The negative review I read was ridiculous.

I had the privilege of working with Bret Doyal for my child support and custody case, and I must say, his legal expertise and compassionate approach were truly remarkable. From our initial consultation to the resolution of my case, Bret demonstrated a deep understanding of family law coupled with a genuine concern for my well-being and the best interests of my child. Throughout the entire process, Bret was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive. He took the time to explain every step of the legal proceedings, ensuring that I felt informed and empowered. His attention to detail and strategic approach were evident in every aspect of his representation. What truly sets Bret apart is his empathy and kindness. Dealing with matters of child support and custody can be emotionally challenging, but Bret always made me feel heard and understood. He approached my case with sensitivity and compassion, easing my anxieties and guiding me through the complexities of the legal system with grace and professionalism. Thanks to Bret's expertise and dedication, I achieved a favorable outcome in my case. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation. Bret Doyal is not just a great lawyer; he is a compassionate advocate who truly cares about his clients' well-being.

Without his help, my life would be so different right now! Wrongfully my daughter’s dad was awarded 50/50. Bret continued to fight for me, proving that her dad was unfit, and was able to modify my custody agreement. I now have full custody with all decision making rights. This was by far an easy case to win. My ex tried everything you can imagine, got child protective services involved, filed a wrongful restraining order, several police reports, ect. Bret was prepared for the battle and won! He saw outside of the box, and fought for me like no other lawyer would have. I couldn’t be more grateful to this man!! I owe him everything!

I was not impressed during my initial consultation with Mrs. Baldinelli. She was disheveled, unorganized and a hot mess. Two attorney friends assured me she was a good lawyer and knew her stuff. Against my gut feelings, I hired her to represent me for a child support modification. The outcome was abysmal. She appeared in court unprepared, requested documents from me only the day before which did not give me time to prepare them as it was a work day. She did not oppose untruths thrown out by the opposing counsel. She did not fight for me at all in the court room and it was as if she had a "deal" already worked out with opposing counsel. She has cost me way more money that I will ever see in child support. It was very sad and I would be ashamed of my life's work if this is how it culminated. The opposing counsel chewed her up and spat her out while she sat there dumbfounded and unable to collect a response much less put together any credible arguments. Run, don't walk away from this attorney.

He promptly replied to my time-sensitive appeal issue—listening and providing invaluable advice July 7, 2022 free of charge, ending around 6:20 PM after normal business hours—nothing short of a miracle! I will forever value his advice, knowing that high-profile school districts and other clients pay top dollar for his expertise. He even offered me a follow-up call, if needed—illustrating character beyond reproach. 2. Process: Within about 2 hours after completing the Lawyer Referral Service (“LRS”) succinct online form, Mr. Moss’ profile appeared in my Inbox. I thought I needed a lawyer to represent me, immediately, but realized as we exceeded the 30-minute window that what I needed was sound pro se legal advice to comply with the court timeline. I noted my visit to the June 29, 2022 Austin Bar Association Lockhart Veterans Legal Clinic. Seeing attorneys eager to help with few veterans present made me vow to bridge the disconnect. Too many veterans need help to thwart homelessness or other legal issues despite attorneys like Mr. Moss willing to help through LRS or in-person. 3. Anecdote: At the outset, Mr. Moss reminded me of my value as a veteran. His ROTC experience connected us, too. “I’m a quick learner,” I said. “Just point me in the right direction.” Mr. Moss listened intently and answered all of my questions then strategized, helping me create a “To-Do List” to plan what, when, and how to file along with next steps. The following day I headed to Texas State Law Library then filed an answer and timely submitted my appeal, accordingly. 4.Hope: Now, I see the glass as half-full and plan to share the value of LRS and Mr. Moss’ legal expertise. Responsive, respectful, resilient: He was a perfect match. I highly recommend Mr. Moss’ service. It was, indeed, a blessing!

Some say that it’s impossible to prove a negative. Stephen Moss was able to do just this when I was unfairly terminated over a 7-year old’s misrepresentation of a short conversation we had in public in a school cafeteria. While an employee can be terminated in Texas without cause, Mr. Moss was logically able to explain to the Texas Education Agency’s investigator how the allegations against me were not only illogical but impossible. As a Foster and Adoptive Parent of two now grown kids I was appalled at what I had been accused of and summarily dismissed without being given a formal chance to defend myself. And I knew I needed help. Mr. Moss listened to what I had to say, researched the law in question and with a single letter to the State Agency’s investigator explained that not only was any part of the law violated, the school district’s investigation was woefully inadequate and the conclusions reached preposterous. Mr. Moss’s written correspondence was so compelling that the State investigator closed the investigation without even a formal hearing, potentially saving me thousands of dollars in unnecessary legal fees. Thank you Mr. Moss for protecting my reputation!

SO impressed with Mr. Moss. I was referred to him by the Lawyer Referral Service of Central Texas. Just amazing service from Mr. Moss. He completely understood my issue and had the best, most pragmatic, reasonable approach to resolving my issue. He took so much weight off of my shoulders in about 15 minutes regarding my real estate issue. Cant say enough how much I appreciate his advice. 10/10 definitely recommend Mr. Moss just amazing service!

She is very helpful with all my concerns even after seven years she helped me with my divorce. She returns my calls timely with my information and spoke with of details of what was settled after all these years. Her advice is always fair and truthful to the situation and always took children into consideration first. I'm truly thankful for her practices and grateful to have been referred to her.

She did an excellent job in handling my divorce in 2006; If a previous client who posted did not know they were not divorced, that is their fault for not following up with their attorney, and knowing they actually would need to APPEAR and sign ! Ms. Dody was very thorough, also proficient in handling a QDRO.

Never filed final divorce decree from 1998 and found out when trying to get new marriage license. She told me to just tell the court I was never married because they don't check that in Travis County. Use at your own risk!

The Fowler Law Firm truly embodies what it means to empower those they represent. In my line of work, it's all too common to see hardworking folks in construction not getting paid by greedy general contractors. When one of our Spanish-speaking clients faced this issue, I knew exactly who to refer them to. Laura and her team were exceptional—they prepared our client for their case, clearly communicated their leverage, and fiercely advocated on their behalf to ensure they were supported every step of the way. I'll continue to refer clients to The Fowler Law Firm because they’ve proven to be a trusted advocate for small businesses. Thank you for standing up for our community!

Worst law firm ever. I hired them for the 3m combat earplug settlement. Lack of communication, almost impossible to get a hold of them. I will definitely never go back to them for any legal matters. Several messages and phone calls, not 1 response back in several months.

I have been dealing with them for almost 5 years now in regards to the 3m lawsuit. After 5 year, I’ve learned that they only care about making money and do NOT care about the client. I have sent tons of emails over 5 years. Sometimes I get a generic response, but the email doesn’t come close to answering my questions. I know they are dealing with a lot of clients but not one answer from them in 5 years. That’s ridiculous. If you’re looking for a firm that will listen to you and take their time, look elsewhere.

We hired Maggie and her law firm, Jackson Lewis, to help us with our first H1B transfer. As a startup, we depended on their expertise to guide us through the process. They did nothing but file papers. They took zero time to understand the candidate, job description, qualifications, etc. As such, the government declined our request because they misclassified everything! When we reached out to question why our H1B transfer was declined, they disappeared. They're poor communicators during the process and especially poor communicators after they render their service. Oh, and they'll still bill you for their incompetence. Stay away unless you want an expensive administrator.

Called his office to inquire about a tort case and got a text message that his retainer fee was $5,000 for new clients and then $25,000 for new litigations...a text message, without even speaking to him or him hearing my case. No thanks, I want an attorney who wants to at least hear cases before the in my opinion obvious money grab. Doesn't align with my morals and ethics on how a professional should behave.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

    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.

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.
