Sarah listened to my problem and offered several creative solutions. She was patient and allowed me to make decisions and then represented me through the process. She was diplomatic and did not back down from the other lawyer when pressed.

Ok I just read the previous review titled "Don't Fall for It" and it's completely false.
Sarah is an amazing lawyer who deeply cares about all her clients and who's law firm is client-centered and focuses on all aspects of your case. As her client, I was provided with frequent updates about my case and always treated with kindness and respect. Sarah is honest with you about your case, and sometimes that's hard to deal with, especially in family law matters. But Sarah knows she has to "tell you like it is" so you are prepared to deal with the emotional aspects of your case. Sarah and her staff worked hard to ensure that I was well taken care of legally and emotionally by providing me with legal counseling and referring me and my children to a family therapist to handle the emotional roller coaster that a family law case can be. I know some people might get angry because they lose their case, so they blame their lawyer and write a bad review filled with lies and false allegations. That's not fair, especially when you have a lawyer as compassionate and professional as Sarah Keathley. She is the best in the business if you want a lawyer who genuinely cares about her clients and the outcome of her cases. Sarah has over 20 years experience helping people such as myself with their legal issues, and I can say without a doubt that she saved my life and the lives of my children. Thank God there are attorneys like Sarah Keathley; too bad there's not more of them around.

I have come across many lawyers in my field professionally across the top five markets in the US and Kerri is easily, hands down one of the BEST LAWYERS I'VE EVER MET. And I am a very discerning Type A personality with high standards. I am rarely impressed and frequently let down, but I cannot stress enough how amazing not only of a person Kerri is personally but professionally. Kerri and her Amazing Legal Assistants, Mylea & Tracy, and her top ranked Private Investigator Eddie, worked relentlessly and expeditiously on my case and kept me informed of any updates and need to know information every step of the way.
My case was a rare criminal case that involved a local town employee that stalked me for years with no repercussions or aid to me from local enforcement due to his connections to local elected government officials and friendships with law enforcement. I was essentially on my own for years and went through several lawyers to no avail. UNTIL I met Kerri Anderson Donica and her superstar team of angelic warriors.
Mylea, Kerri's Assistant-was a consummate professional that was kind, magical, phenomenal and more than I prayed for. She was always on top of the ball and was able to navigate through the massive encyclopedia of legal documents that were in my file effortlessly and trust me, that was a harrowing, overwhelming task for everyone in the past that dealt with my case, no sweat for Mylea. What a godsend she was in aiding Kerri with the assistance needed with the documentation needed along what was a nightmare for anyone to have to get through. She never complained, flinched or made it seem like it was difficult. She is phenomenal, in and out of the legal field. I can't thank her enough.
Kerri Anderson Donica is that rare breed of lawyer that all of her colleague's respect and opposition fears. A lot of lawyers may have one or the other but rarely both. She is always pivoting at all times in strategy and counteracts damaging attacks and rebukes lies and has the intuitive and legal bible of knowledge memorized to be able to get to the facts and present them to the jury in a masterful way.
Kerri made a last minute and powerful decision to bring on her Private Investigator, Eddie-was also a Godsend. He's a true master at swiftly getting through a massive amount of information and spotting lies in a Where's Waldo compilation of videos, statements, and legal documents. There was a previous Private Investigator provided by former lawyers that seemed to do a thorough job at first glance at his report, but being that I knew everything that happened to me, I knew all the inaccuracies in previous PI's final report. Eddie dismantled and spotted all the inaccuracies and updated Kerri with top of line, eagle eye information that really aided in what was needed in visual evidence to be seen by jury.
Kerri masterfully presented Opening/Closing arguments by pointing out what was missed by all previous lawyers on my case. I was told by many others and knew just from past experience, that if Kerri could not win this case, noone could. She really never backed down at any point and had my back like only a mother could. Her cross examination of witnesses was an absolute Master Class.
I could not have won this case without Kerri Anderson Donica and her LEGENDARY TEAM of experts. She truly is The Experience You Need, The Care You Deserve! Thank You will never be enough and is a massive understatement. Do not hesitate to contact her for your legal matters. She is the best and top ranked for a reason. She and her team NEVER let or thousands of people throughout her career down!

We hired Kerri regarding a criminal matter. She jumped in, treated my wife and I great, and went over all the issues and possible outcomes with us. I was amazed that everything she said turned out to be correct and the case came out just like she said it would. My life has been completely turned around and I think I have her to thank.

Truly the best experience. She cared about me and about my kids and wasn't afraid to stand up for me. Her staff is excellent. She made what have been a terrible divorce bearable. I am forever grateful for her professionalism, knowledge and courtroom skills. Be best by far in the area and everyone knows it.

It was terrible me and my mom explained everything to this man and we gave him $2000 down to represent my brother then he went and asked my brother the same thing that we already answered then told us he can’t take the case but took half of our money. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this attorney to anybody because he’s not honest until he takes your money 3/2024

This guy is the worst lawyer in Corsicana by far and it’s not even close. All I wanted to do was file a written answer to show I been making legal money on YouTube for years. He was very emotional from the start. I tried to show him that I make legal money from my YouTube, yet all he cares about is himself. He also tried to charge me $300 to file a written answer as well as force himself on represent me. When I told him I didn’t want him as a lawyer he kicked me out without helping me at all. Don’t go to this guy he might drive a Tesla and wear a suit but this dude is a crook.

My case is very complex I gave her a lot of information she took on the case since March and really didn't do anything she let the other attorney my ex's attorney do a lot of the drafting and she would just sign off on everything according to the court the judge said that he was ordered to pay the bills and I was to pay the mortgage and then this temporary order it is saying that I pay everything and she went ahead and signed off on it and that's not even accurate. She is passionate she sounds like she wants to help you but she takes on more cases than she can handle and that's not what I need she is hurting me and is not helping me

Mr. Green is very arrogant and impatient to say the least. If you have a personality that is assertive where you know your rights, he will walk out of your meeting and abandon you in court. He had zero interest in what happened to me and asked no questions about me. He profiles people. He is the rudest, laziest SOB and will leave you for dead in court. He fraternizes with the District Attorney and kisses up to the judge. He was very dishonest, and his paralegal will attack you verbally like an angry mistress if you question his way of treating clients at his office. She literally yelled at me and told me that I wasn't going to tell Neal how to do his job when I asked about how why he has not investigated my case. He took no accountability for his actions and clearly has a problem with women. He made several misogynistic statements during our few interactions in his office. He has anger issues and refuses to go over your file that legally he has an obligation to go over as an attorney. He won't talk to you when you arrive at court. He ignored me and only spoke briefly in front of the judge and tried to throw me under the bus and then backpedaled when asked about his actions afterwards. He asked to be removed from my case because he said he did not owe me an apology or explanation for his actions. He is a lazy insecure crook. Stay very far away. This guy should not be practicing law. He hates women and clearly hates what he does. I've never had a more humiliating dehumanizing experience in my life. If you someone tells you he's a good lawyer, run from them too. He's a bad lawyer and even worse, an untrustworthy liar.

We hired Mr. Green to help us gain custody of our grandson. Our journey has had many ups and downs and Mr. Green has been honest and knowledgeable every step of the way. We've had moments of uncertainty in knowing the best path to take and he has been very instrumental in giving us our legal options and helping us come to decisions that have been hard. Many times in these situations you find yourself with no good choice and Neal was always there to help us navigate the options in front of us. We have found him to be a very good attorney and we would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of a family law attorney.

Unless you want to throw your money right into the trash, I would not hire Mr.Green! He lacks confidence, knowledge, legal skills, professionalism and he is very tacky and has a weak personality. Other lawyers run right over Mr. Green. Mr. Green fears clients with knowledge and common sense as-well as clients who have a strong personality. In the court room he will leave all the communication and debating up to you as a client and he seemed to fear stepping up to the plate. His legal assistant had several typos in her work. Once they receive your money they no longer care! Mr. Green is by far the worst lawyer I have ever met or did business with!

This is a terrible attorney. I hired for a child custody case. I was always told she was away on family issue. I finally started requesting copies of filings and motions. I was told her paralegal forgot to send me along w further excuses. I finally got copies and saw nothing done but her sub in. I complained via email that I was disappointed by the complete lack of communication and received an email back she was dropping me as a client.
