We started the process of adopting our twin great nieces when they were 8 months old. Our first lawyer basically stole our retainer and did nothing and did not even inform us the case was dismissed.
In seeking a new attorney we stumbled upon Mrs. Delvaille through my husband's company program. We called and spoke of our situation and she advised it was not her specialty. We continued searching. The next day she called us back and told us that our story touched her and if we would allow her to, she would like to take our case with the understanding it would also be a learning process for her. BEST decision we ever made. It took 2 years from the time we began with her (girls were 3 at that time) and though we had some setbacks due to the uncooperative legal system and judge, last week (4/16/2024) our family was finally, legally, complete!!!
She was always very responsive to any and all questions we had. Even though this was not her specialty she soared through it like a pro. She sought out guidance from other legal professionals when needed.
Even though our case is resolved I am pretty sure Tamisha will always be a part of our family now!

I’ve always been told that there are three things you will always need, 1) a great doctor, 2) a great mechanic, and 3) a great attorney. I now have all three! Thank you Erik Smith for representing my son in court and getting his case dismissed! An ordeal that can be learned from and now put in the past.

Erik Smith was quick to get the ball rolling after I was hit by an uninsured driver. I had no idea what to do and my insurance company was not very helpful so I was extremely grateful to have Mr. Smith’s office in my corner. They took care of everything for me and responded politely and quickly to every question I had along the way. I hope I never need to, but I would definitely use him again!

Erik has represented me twice now, first for a DWI and most recently I hired him to represent me after I was injured in an auto accident. In both cases he went above and beyond and I'm very thankful he was in my corner. I highly recommend Mr. Smith for any of your legal troubles.

We hired Tanner to help us clear title to sell a lot that my father owned before his death - unfortunately, my father had no will or trust. Tanner was helpful in guiding us in the right direction so that we can hopefully sell this lot in the near future. His communication was outstanding - we are still in the process of clearing up last minute paperwork on our side (once again, we are located outside of Texas) but Tanner has given specific instructions on completing everything. We appreciated all of his help because it can be a bit confusing when trying to sell a lot without a will or trust. I would definitely recommend Tanner to help out with similar situations, like ours.

Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it? Well, in this case, it is not! In my experience, Elizabeth's approach with me as her client is that she truly cares about setting my family up for an easy transition to taking over the legal matters of my estate when the time comes that they will need to do so. It's not a matter of if, but when. That's a scary thing to think about. However, with Elizabeth's expertise and years of experience of probate law, she truly understands how to leave behind a legacy of love. The last thing you want your family to have to deal with if something unexpected (or not) happens to you, is trying to figure out how to manage your estate or worse, not having the ability to make medical decisions on your behalf. Having a Will in place protects your family from a lot of the legal & family conflict they may face in trying to make necessary decisions. Don't put off setting up your legacy of love.

Ms. Hilbun and her firm have handled my parents estate for four years, during which time they have helped brother and I navigate all manner of challenges and problems arising from my parents changing needs, from their physical disabilities to their declining faculties, and always with compassion and patience. Her firm's close attention to our situation, to include helping me stay informed and closely involved even though I live out of state, is a peace of mind I value dearly.

During the time I was a main care giver for my 86 year old mother, Elizabeth and her firm were compassionate and attentive to our emotional needs. Our family received the legal guidance we needed during this time. I was educated on the processes that would have brought financial relief for my mothers care. After my mother passed Elizabeth continued with her legal and my support during a very difficult time.

Ms. Thiebeau represented me through my divorce and custody battle. In a world where many attorneys seem to focus mainly on money and loose site of how divorce and child custody issues affect their clients.... Ms. Thiebeau is NOT one of them. She the perfect blend of "motherly love" and assertiveness that anyone going through these life changing events needs. I feel she developed relationships with her clients to help them see the light at the end of the tunnel and to stay focused on the important things, providing much needed redirection when her client is operating out of anger, hurt or any other emotion that may be counter productive to the end goal. She has truely been a blessing for my family and I. Inside the courtroom she is very professional and effective. I have always felt well represented.
I would strongly recommend Ms. Thiebeau to anyone seeing an attorney for divorce or child custody cases. In doing so, you can feel confident that you have true support every step of the way.

With previous legal services I've had, Mr. Ruiz left a remarkable lasting impression with me. He returned phone calls and emails promptly, informed me of any developments of my case, and appeared in court by my side on time and prepared. Also, he was respectful and compassionate towards my situation. I definitely would hire him again and highly recommend him to others.

This attorney was literally like an Angel to us. She is awsome and very good at her job one day she offered her help to me when I most needed it and I thank god for that thanks to her I was able to keep my son and my family together. She is an amazing person with a huge heart and I got a really short notice about my court date and she was able to take on my case like nothing and took over and won. I will always be thankful for Mrs. Michelle Morias Kim from the bottom of heart ❤️

It is very evident she is passionate about protecting children. She is honest and makes sure you are aware of all outcomes.
You can tell immediately upon meeting her, she is not in this business for the money... she is in it for the children.

My suit was a simple modification not contested just trying to change the schedule to provide for more time with my son and holidays. Sarah tried this case in 2023 and got it dismissed. Every month I handed her my monthly income replenishing a $2000 retainer she billed to its entirety ,plus a $5,000 retainer. She got my case dismissed sadly not only had this case stayed on the docket for over a year she failed to file a response ontime with proper documentation leading to dismissal . Prior to trial she required a large lump sum for trial retainer. In the paper work it said for contested hearings they filed a response stating not enough evidence which Sarah did not give enough evidence that was given to her. She threw a fit about me not making an effort to pay and all the while a wire was in progress. She only had five years experience and it was apparent that she lacked rules of evidence, punctuality for deadlines , experience and true rules of knowledge and ethics. She got my case dismissed after all that money and time which allowed for me to go another year without holidays in my current order and a visitation schedule that damaged my son. At this point I had sold my home my cars . She offered to refile the case. I allowed her because I didn’t have the money for a new retainer at that time …. I was charged again for services already rendered, information input already in my case file. She did work with me on payment of an agreed amount of $500/ month until balance was paid. I paid every month. During mediation she was late the mediator was late as well they both were not present but 30 mins. when I didn’t agree to the terms being given and the other side was not agreeable for the very issue I was raising to court more time with my son well she told me she was thinking of dropping me. She was trying to get me to settle for only more child support and exclusive educational rights that the other party took back. I told her clarify if in fact she was dropping me and the facts. The sleepy mediator wanted another day of mediation. I told her no it was not coming to an agreement.She told me I couldn’t request an emphasis. It is my experience when there is money trouble Sarah looks for a way out and she sabotages what u need. At this point she caused some significant damage to my case as I was left without counsel we were a week from trial and she made some crucial mistakes… she agreed to a pass at a compel hearing when opposing counsel had not submitted the information she never filed a compel…she moved my case it one month out without discussing with me…which damaged my case never spoke to me about it until I brought it up. She Booked a very expensive mediator which I contacted her office to get information to and about . I was told she was out of the office and they didn’t know her schedule. She made accusations in an email that were offensive and I started looking into Sarah a little more. This mediator had horrible reviews and Sarah was making errors in my case that may not be fixed . Other clients had gone through the same. I could not afford that payment of 600 plus 500 in two weeks. In the end Sarah waited three weeks to call me back. She decided to waive all attorney fees owed after She did drop me after making a mess of my case . I was lucky enough to find two attorneys out of six willing to review all damage and help repair it if not non suit it. One had fired her early in her career. They will work with me but this was a nightmare do your research as her google reviews have been taken down. I have knowledge there are other cases that have faced the same trouble as my own and it’s sad. Harris county is corrupt and not easy. I would never choose Sarah again because I believe she hurt my case. I may have to nonsuit it and my child may suffer more.

I have worked with Sarah Pollard on a number of cases and I feel she is qualified, dedicated, and just a new breed of up and coming lawyers that go the distance for their clients. She leaves no stone unturned in pursuing a good result for her clients. I would highly recommend her because of her values and work ethics. I use her as Of Counsel on some of my more complicated matters.

I hired Ms. Sarah Pollard as my divorce lawyer. She was knowledgable and reliable throughout the entire process. She drafted all the documents efficiently and clearly explained to me what each document meant. I especially appreciated her flexibility and diligence in researching changes in court processes due to the pandemic.

Sherea Vitelli presented herself as a professional, caring & hardworking family law attorney to me. She explained that she chose to leave a prestigious law firm to work from home so she could be with her children more. She struck me as genuine & I retained her for $2500.00 to represent me in my divorce. Sherea Vitelli actually DRAGGED her feet when she had the opportunity to obtain a default against my ex-husband when he failed to show up to the very first court hearing. Sherea Vitelli communicated with his lawyer and the two of them decided to let it slide and reschedule. It was then that I knew divorces go on as long as the lawyers want them to. Sherea Vitelli produced a good initial write up of my terms, form letters on my behalf. The night before my very first actual court appearance ( after the initial had been reset per his & mines’ lawyers decision to drag things out), Ms Vitelli emailed me I would need to pay her $1500 in the morning if she was to represent me. I phoned her that evening to discuss what kind of prepping I needed to answer questions appropriately and move forward, all I could hear was her screaming at her children, she gave me none of her time & actually made me feel like I was a big pain in her ass. No prepping, even though she had told me we would do this. I had a very bad taste in my mouth. I fired her & retained an amazing lawyer who fought for me & we had a much better experience. I am so happy I found my new lawyer, just feel bad about Sherea Vitelli refusing to refund ANY of my $2500.00 while I had to fire her in a court of law and she actually flirted with the judge. She’s disgusting , no real morals except when they serve her own interests.

I hired Sherea for my divorce then again to file a motion of enforcement which turned into a 3 year long cps battle. We had our ups and downs but Sherea won our case. And after 3 very long years, I got my babies back. If you want an attorney that is aggressive and will go to hell and back with you despite what everyone else says, I highly recommend Mrs. Vitelli.

Jennifer just blew me off. Did not respond or talk to me about my divorce case for 2 months, pretty much right after I paid. She did not inform me we had a court date until the night before our 9am time. I was out of town and could not make it. Judge ruled harshly against me, gave everything to my wife and ordered me to pay all court fees and lawyers for both sides. I never heard from her since the night before that date and only found out about any of it when my ex wife informed me she was taking my car. I had to get divorce decree and info on my own. I still have not heard from her and filed a complaint with the Texas bar.
