Please forgive my name. I work in cybersecurity and do not like to show my name. Doesn’t make what I am about to say any less true. The MyChurch Law Firm is an excellent choice for anyone looking for attorneys who care about their clients. They go above and beyond. I’ve worked with Steven and Dustin both who have always gone out of their way to address my needs. If you are looking for people you can rely on who are highly knowledgeable professionals, you will not regret their service. I have worked with them on LLC creation, copyright legalities, and business contracts. 5 stars indeed!

I deliberated extensively on whether or not to share this review. My intention in doing so is to prevent another family from experiencing the same situation. In March of 2024, we engaged the services of Lindsey and paid our retainer. Three weeks later, we discovered that $3,000 had been (illegally) withdrawn from our personal bank account (not the retainer account). Initially, we were informed that this was an accidental charge and that it would be refunded. However, the refund only occurred after I threatened to report LJW to the Bar Association, and even then one of the checks bounced. Retrieving our payment was an arduous process. Communication with Lindsey was near impossible. Emails were not sent to opposing counsel, phone calls to me were not returned, and emails went unanswered. I was informed by LJW that she couldn't speak or meet with me due to being out of the country or out of town. Yet, I unexpectedly encountered her thirty minutes later at a local restaurant nearby, on two separate occasions. She frequently claimed to be on vacation or provided extremely odd reasons for her unavailability. The billing rates in LJW’s documentation did not align with the actual charges. We were billed $75 for 10, 28, 45 second conversations, or for conversations that never transpired. Additionally, we were charged for meetings that never took place. Upon questioning these unjust charges, LJW fabricated additional charges to cover up the initial inaccuracies. I have evidence to substantiate all of this. LJW also informed us of two paralegals with whom we could communicate at a discounted rate. Despite my diligent attempts, I never received a response from them, yet they billed me, and their names appeared on LJW’s legal documents. I spent countless hours emailing and leaving voicemails for these “Paralegals” only to discover that neither of them worked for LJW. She had no paralegals, yet she conveyed the impression that these individuals were still part of her team. I managed to contact one of these individuals, and she confirmed that she had left LJW months prior. She informed me to report LJW to the Bar Association for many reasons, including how LJW continued to use her name as the company paralegal despite her repeated requests for LJW to desist. I have never felt so exploited in my life. This was someone we trusted personally, who had pledged to assist our family. Eventually, we had to terminate our engagement with LJW and start afresh. In summary, we paid a $5,000 retainer, $3,000 was illicitly taken from us. I informed LJW that I wanted the $3,000 back plus the remaining retainer. She stated that our remaining retainer was around $1,400, an amount that should have been substantially higher considering the absence of any progress alongside her unjust charges. Ultimately, she only refunded the $3,000 and retained our remaining retainer. Predictably, the check bounced. This situation was deeply disheartening.

What a nightmare experience I had with this lawyer. I hired and paid Mark Grosso up front to represent my son with some marijuana charges. My son was put on a program where if he stayed out of trouble for 2 years the charges would be dismissed and his record was eligible to be expunged. I paid Mark Grosso to have him represent my son and to file the expunction order. When 2 years were up and it was time to file the expunction, Mark completely forgot. I emailed Mark constantly to remind him to file the expunction and he wouldn't respond or responded with a promise to take care of it but never did. I finally contacted the Texas Bar Association to see if they could assist me. The bar told me the first step in the process of the Bar helping me was to write a letter to Mark and deliver it to him. I looked up his office address online and found 2 addresses for him. I went to both. One was not even a real address and the other one was an office but not for him. I finally looked up his home address in the tax records and went by his home to deliver the letter. He came to the door and asked me to give him another chance - he promised to take care of the expunction. I decided to give him another chance but again, he never filed it. I went back to the house again and this time I spoke to his wife. His wife said "oh, this is not like my husband at all" She called him and of course he answered his wife's call. More promises from Mark to take care of it. When he finally filed the expunction, he filed it incorrectly - twice. It was 2 years late before he finally did it a 3rd time and did it correctly. Save yourself a lot of trouble and anxiety and stay away from hiring this man.

Faced with a complicated divorce involving child custody issues, I met with Jim Ashmore and knew, after that first consultation, that I had found the right attorney. I was completely frantic, and had no idea what to expect. Mr. Ashmore led me though the process step by step. His knowledge, professionalism, and compassion were priceless to me. Though the past 8 years, when custody issues arose, Mr. Ashmore handled them for me, and I always knew that he had my best interest, as well as that of my children in mind at each corner. Mr. Ashmore has always kept me well informed, and the level of trust I have in him and his team has always made it possible to move forward confidently and with a positive attitude.

I used Mr. Ashmore during a difficult divorce with child custody issues. Everything was great at first, however, when I encountered issues with my ex toward the end of the finalization, I could not get any help or return phone calls from the firm. I just needed some simple answers and I finally just quit calling and gave up. I am now seeking a new attorney for modificiation of child custody, which is going to cost me more money. Unfortunately, knowing what I do now, I would not recommend this firm.

In 2003, a surprise divorce filing with false accusation prompted me to seek counsel. Not a “yellow page” event, I networked my way to Jim Ashmore. Over the next 5 months, he helped me separate legal issue from drama, listed options, advised, filed, and navigated through the problem. I finally defaulted to a “soft” response. Jim cautioned me against this but respected my opinion and filed accordingly. Over the next seven years, several additional law suits were filed against me. I was at risk and (more importantly) my kids were at risk. Jim’s broad experience and penchant for detail lead to positive outcome throughout the entire dilemma. He always went over options, created a sound plan, and was well prepared for hearings and trials. Jim stays calm and flexible in court, adjusting when required. His demeanor and approach earns respect of judges, opposing attorneys, and witnesses. My observations are not based on whim. Exhausting legal work behind, my family and I are on the mend. This journey took me through 3 courts in 2 counties with (over time) 5 opposing attorneys. I simply continued to show up with the same attorney, Jim Ashmore.

My very first time in trouble and he did very minimum. He was solely looking to get paid as for as help me out on my situation. 8 years defered probation was outrageous. Every other attorney I talked to after told me that’s suicide. They also said that is ridiculous for my first time ever in trouble. He never gave me information that they had. He just told me this is what they are offering. Again, he only wanted to get paid. DON’T HIRE HIM!!!

Mr.Smith is great. Very personable and did an awesome job in keeping himself available to answer any questions I had about my case. I got a county charge of DWLIrifyt before I was put on 18 months probation for a DWI. They DA was trying to add 18 more months to my current probation but Josh got me time served and only had to pay a fine. I only had to appear 1 time and that was to accept my plea. Hiring Joshua Smith to handle my case was the best decision. He is very well liked at the Denton county courthouse. Hire him he's worth it!

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:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  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.
