Mrs.Adkins and Mr.Shepard are both very knowledgeable, courtesy and professional at all times. Whenever a situation sprang up or I had a question both were there to answer questions in a timely manner. Divorce can be very complicated and confusing but they made it simple. Mrs.Adkins not only will help you, but as well tell you how it is, and is very straightforward with you. She is very humble, and kind during a difficult and confusing time. I advise everyone to put your trust in her and her team as well LISTEN to what she has to tell you because she really knows what’s best. Put your ego aside because she WILL help. Thank you ma’am for the hard work and dedication!

I didn't know what to do at the beginning of the divorce process, but Ms. Adkins guided me through it and helped me feel confident. Throughout a difficult period she was understanding, compassionate, and effective and I'm very grateful for her help. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

A couple years ago when I was 19 years old I was in an abusive marriage. He beat me in front of my children and that was the last straw. I called this women for help, told her I had no idea what I was doing, that I was young and was being abused. She started yelling at me going off saying I was scamming her and asking for free services. I broke down crying, I felt so alone and defeated. I in no way was looking for “free services” i was young, confused, distraught, and trying to find someone who could help me figure out the process of divorce. She made me feel so awful and alone, I almost stayed in an abusive marriage solely because of this woman. I doubt she remembers me but I sure remember her and now that I am almost 30 I see even more how absolutely vile what she did and said was. I was a child being beaten and when I reached out to her for help all she did was yell at me and belittle me. Ms “Adkins”, I whole heartedly hope you are ashamed of yourself, you definitely should be also- do not respond to my post with some ignorant excuse like you respond to everyone else with a negative review. as far as i can see, every negative review is more or less about the same thing, you being rude, insensitive, and responding to people with a unnecessary and unprofessional attitude. i don’t see that all being a coincidence. on top of that every response to their reviews is you coming up with some excuse and trying to turn things around to make it seem like they just don’t wanna hear the truth. here’s a tip, you can tell the truth and not be an as*hole to people going through one of the hardest times of their lives. you in no way shape or form care about any of these people, all you care about is your paycheck and that is beyond shameful and honestly disgusting. you do not deserve to be in this profession

I recently hired Ms. Villalpando's firm for a special appearance at a bond hearing representing a formerly detained client of mine in El Paso. The case took many twists and turns, being rescheduled a total of three times by the Court. Throughout those and other inconveniences, Ms. Villalpando's staff made sure to keep track of the case, arduously representing my client at a bond hearing just last week. Her office's professional attorneys and staff ensured a successful outcome, and I am nothing but grateful for their amazing work. I can HIGHLY recommend Ms. Villalpando's firm to any attorney or prospective client looking for passionate and capable legal representation in the El Paso area. Thank you, Ms. Villalpando!

She is good at what she does. I hired her for my divorce and she got it done i had already started the process. she charged me $900. BUT dont look for her with out an appointment because she yelled at me when i did. my ex basically kidnapped my children and i was devastated. i looked for her for advice and she went off on me.... that would be the only bad thing. but professional wise, she is good.

Terrible communication with Carlos Quinonez. Would not use this law firm for family practice or general legal representation, unless you are expecting to be highly disappointed. Lack of preparation for court. Schedules appointments and don’t fulfill them or communicate the changes that may or may not come up. The lists continues but I would say hire at your own risk.

Yes you stole my money and did absolutely nothing but steal my money. Return my money you didn't earn and we can talk.DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME on this fraud, FIND A COMPETENT ATTORNEY THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING, They DON'T keep their word, they don't research anything and they will just TAKE YOUR MONEY and over bIll you for their mistakes when you tell them don't do that three different times, Then you will have to hire a COMPETENT attorney who will actually do what you pay them for.

If you’re looking for an attorney to be there for you through and through stand by your side. This is not the attorney for you unfortunately. Not only did I barely have any contact with him regarding my cases. Most of the times that I did come into contact with his office is when when they were requesting payments. He always stuck in court I would barely get callbacks from him when I requested them . His assistants said I would need to pay to speak with him when he was busy .When I had a warrant out for my arrest his advice to me was to lay low and to avoid being arrested while he could try to do something for me. I had to leave work for a whole month and not only that he kept pushing my court dates back and I ended up getting picked up and it made me look even worse in front of the judge. He barely defended me in any of my court hearings he would have one statement and after that he would stay silent while the prosecutor had a whole list of things to say about me. Only reason I stuck with him as a lawyer was because I hired his brother initially. Unfortunately after his passing I was not able to get my money back they were going to keep it so I had no choice but to go with him and I regret it fully . He wanted me to sit in jail while I waited for him to fight my case which was practically beat and when I hired him to handle my other case he withdrew after I couldn’t not pay him because I was juggling bills after being released but I was still willing to make small payments. But before I could do so I wanted to speak with him and his assistants requested payment first before I could consult with him. Worst experience I’ve ever had with a paid attorney .

This was my lawyer for many years. He was a very good man. We didn’t meet on great terms, but he became one of the people I looked up to and admired. He was always there for me not just as my lawyer, but I also as my friend he even represented me without me having to pay him he was a very good man and he will be very much missed. Thank you Victor para for everything you did for me but you rest in peace and God bless you.

I've hired my fair share of lawyers over the years but none of which displayed this level of confidence, resourcefulness and dedication. I like to believe that some people have gifts and are born to be great at certain things naturally and mark t Davis is one of those people. I mean from my perspective he reminds me of sherlock Homles. The way he thought outside the box and handled my case was nothing less then inspiring to say the least and if you actually met him in person he has the demeanor of sherlock homes too, which I found to be comforting in a sense. His staff was also resourceful, great with communication and straight forward. I admire that. In the end I was able to take home a victory in which I wasn't expecting, given the fact of being a man in today's society fighting to be in his child's life and having custody. I can tell you from personal experience mark t Davis and his staff are nothing short of extraordinary. P.S- I don't take the time out to write reviews, to be honest this is my first time writing a review but I'm compelled to show my gratitude. I want to take this time to say THANK YOU. Not only for helping me win this case but for inspiring hope for men like me fighting to be a father in there child's life..

Couldn’t agree more with the review below. I have a recording of this law firm of the attorney underwood and Melissa REFUSING to give me copies of my receipts that I’ve paid of $1,000 and the $2,000 in payments of increments of $500. I have already spoken to authorities and the audio recording is being sent as we speak. It’s not legal for a business to refuse to give a receipt when you pay them. Per IRS businesses are required to provide a receipt for any transaction of any sale of $75 or more. I had a phone call taken place inquiring that they can send me a copy of my contract (which is comical) given the fact that no contract was signed but nonetheless was told it would be sent via email. Didn’t take long for the assistants to figure that one out cause within less than a minute I was contacted back stating the “attorney stated I can’t send it to you”. 😂 could’ve told you that but I let them squirm threw article 17 section 6202 at them and the assistant got off the line (knowing this was way over her head). Passed me onto a Melissa person and admitted that they are refusing to have the contract and or any receipt sent to me. Then said that the lawyers office will file harassment charges for my calls and if I show up unannounced. You know you’d think this Wyatt underwood trial lawyers would actually use their degree and knowledge and carry themselves with a much more professional demeanor but it’s the exact opposite. Everyone’s needs may be different though, have enough sense to pick a better law firm that will do for the client and not just take the money and have nothing to show for it. Called the bar and they loved it. Please expect a letter from me in a few days of the attempt of obtaining the utilize statements you have 7 days to respond. Look forward to hearing from you.

The front desk clerk isn’t very friendly. I asked what I needed in preparation for my appointment and was told nothing. Took time off of work to go to the appointment and was asked a question requiring me to have had prior communication with my mortgage company. This would have been helpful to have known before wasting mine and my husband’s time. Luckily she didn’t charge for the 5 minutes we sat in her office. She basically sent us on our way while I was on the phone with the mortgage company. Turns out, I didn’t need approval from my mortgage company. I made an appointment elsewhere and have received far more help from this assistant.

I was in a car accident that I was not liable for almost a year ago and I decided to go to this attorney because the owner of the collision center I took my vehicle to recommended this place and knew one of the clerks.

Mr. Morales was a court appointed attorney for me. When I requested a bench trial, I revealed to him that I have mental disabilities and at high risk for suicide. He told me not to tell him about it, but to seek professional help. I was arrested for a minor offense that has destroyed my ability to work in my chosen profession. He failed to link what my mental disability was like at the time of the charged conduct, and how this limited my reasoning and judgment. He didn't stress to the judge the certainty and severity of my impairment at the time of the incident, in an effort to pursuade the judge to acquit, dismiss or reduce the charge, so that I didn't lose my ability to support myself and retire from my career.

This man is not your typical lawyer, he truly cares for his clients needs. He is passionate about his job and a very humble man, which is hard to come by in a lawyer. He took the time to help me understand the law. He went out of his way to investigate my case before he was even officially hired. Compassionate, gentle, very knowledgeable, and he works with his wife, they are a great team... You can tell what kind of people they are by there work relationship. I would definitely recommend this firm! Thank you Edward and Maria for your hardwork!

Mr. Rudy Perez has been a wonderful help to my driving record. He got 2 traffic citations of mine dismissed. Which were very unjustified. I can't give many details on why they're unjustified, but it'd take to much space and time. The police officer being the main reason. I would definitely recommend Mr. Perez's services. He, and his team, are very polite, helpful, and thorough with giving you details on how the process is going.
