Stephanie went above and beyond on the case for my son words can't express how much I personally appreciate all she has done. She was always responsive, trustworthy, knowledgable and information was always provided in a timely matter.
I will be forever grateful for all she has done for us.

I was referred to Joseph Soto and I am still currently working with Mr.Soto in my case and he genuinely cares about my life. He understands that I have made mistakes in the past but puts my accomplishments and progress 1st for everyone to focus on. He has worked with me a lot and I appreciate his help. My child is on the line and he encourages me to keep doing what I am doing and each time we have gone to court, I have gained a step forward with him by my side. Not once have we taken a step back. He is an awesome lawyer and respects me as a human, mother and client. I have faith this case is going to end great, I put all my trust in him and I know he won't let me down. He gives me information straight forward, doesn't beat around the bush. Even if it hurts to hear, he tells the truth. Great lawyer. WIN MY CASE JOSEPH! (to win a case is 50% lawyer 50% client, YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR PART TOO!)

My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Attorney Amber Cohoon, Cohoon Legal, on a civil case. From the initial consultation to the courtroom victory, their professionalism, attention to detail, and compassionate approach stood out.
Attorney Cohoon's expertise and strategic guidance were instrumental in winning the case. Her communication was clear and timely, keeping me informed throughout. The team's dedication to building a strong case and their impressive courtroom skills were evident.
We highly recommend Attorney Amber Cohoon with Cohoon Legal, for anyone in need of top-notch legal representation.

The secretary is not knowledgeable. The prices is very high ( 3 times more then other lawyers charge) Very pushy and inattentive . She’s not let me talk just disturb me every minute. I don’t want even make a consultation with the Lawer knowing who’s gonna help her with my case .

Unfortunately, wasn't helpful (+ she kept yawning during our intake and acknowledged doing so twice) and never got back to me until I followed up. They sent their consult email to my employer address versus personal (even after emailing them before and after consult with my personal email address!). There was an autofill error apparently. Commonsense stuff which could've easily been avoided by paying attention versus making excuses and just apologizing. Makes me think they don’t care about the details and my specific situation and not trustworthy. No matter if it was a mistake, acknowledge it, and do the right thing. Unprofessional! I have been in touch with a GREAT lawyer in TX if anyone needs a recommendation.

They get negative reviews taken down. I have screen shots of negative reviews that have been removed.
They are money gouging attorneys. $500,000+ for an 18 month custody dispute.
Hollingsworth is a rude and condescending attorney, who was on probation with the Texas Bar at the time of our divorce. An open record search against Hollingsworth found multiple personal lawsuits and even an assault/battery charge against an opposing client! Are these the regular attorneys that Beal hires?
Raise your credit card limits if you’re going to hire Hollingsworth and Beal.

I was involved in an auto accident where an inattentive driver pulled a U-turn across traffic striking and totaling my classic corvette and injuring my back. At first, I tried to work directly with their insurance but it was evident after two phone calls that they were not willing to compensate me for the value of my car nor my injuries. I contacted Rich at Trial Tribe and he walked me thru the process of obtaining a reimbursement for the actual value of my car. In addition, he provided recommendations for rehabilitation and examination services and obtained a fair compensation for my injuries. I am grateful to have the tribe on my side and fully endorse Rich and his staff for the outstanding service they provided

I recently reached out to this law firm looking for a consultation. They said there was no conflict of interest and scheduled an appointment for me. Upon arrival they informed me that despite taking my money for the consultation appointment, they apparently had not done their due diligence and a conflict of interest prevented the consultation. This is of course after they had me fill out questionnaires providing my personal information and wasting my time and money driving to the appointment and back. To top it off, they still haven't refunded my money for the consultation after multiple weeks time and following up with their office about this refund. Avoid this firm if you do not want to be robbed of your time and money.

Terrible experience with Sarah particularly. My coparent withheld my ability to see my infant on multiple occasions, Sarah charged me for documentation that didn’t improve or remedy the situation; the coparent was not held accountable whatsoever. The response I received from filing the expensive paperwork Sarah’s firm advised was my coparent filing a false police report saying their vehicle was broken into implicating me for which I had proofs were 100% false (the vehicle was NOT broken into or tampered with and I was nowhere remotely close to area it was located at the time in question). I was required to meet at police stations following that accusation - know what the coparent showed up in?? The undamaged vehicle in question on the DAY FOLLOWING the accusation. (For the record, it’s supposed to be a crime in Texas to file a false police report). Again, none of it mattered when we *never made it to court* — saddled with $25k worth of representation debt (when the standard for family court settlements is ~$11k to my understanding), a hefty child support amount, and ONE day more than a standard possession as a non-custodial parent. I wrote her an angry, frustrated “who do you work for here?” email to which she felt the need to call me personally at 3 am having me tell her I thought she was the perfect person to help me with my situation or she would be resigning my case. Should’ve dropped her then and there. I’m an honorably discharged veteran, a former federal employee, an Eagle Scout, etc. I was up against someone with a an assault record. Continuously told her firm I wanted a 50/50 coparenting agreement and wasn’t trying to skirt child support because I didn’t think it would help my case. Not what was presented at the 2-3 court days we were supposed to have, I took off work for and made special arrangements for but didn’t actually “take.” We never made it to court - ended up in mediation with a RETIRED judge who didn’t read or pay any attention to the facts of the case whatsoever as his blanketed opening statement at mediation was - “I don’t care what the facts are here, I’m not taking any child away from his mother short of something drug related” - a determination based solely based on gender/sex. I did 90% of the talking during mediation; Sarah and her assistant sat there and barely spoke. I’m not an attorney. I didn’t get paid $25k to represent someone. Had no idea what I was doing. Sarah worked with the coparent’s attorney and came up with a 30+ page document that provides more coverage for my co-parent than me and I was billed for it; co-parent walked away from the case on a pro-bono basis. If I mess up, jail time and fines. If the co-parent messes up, there would be hefty court fees for me to enforce anything and then next to 0 repercussions for them. My coparent has been so empowered by how easy it was to walk over me that she has continued to violate the agreement (never missed a day with my son, coparent’s missed a plethora; coparent doesn’t send written updates when our circumstances change, I’ve had to; coparent moved outside the agreed upon living area, repercussions are supposed to be me becoming custodial, NOPE; coparent filed 2 more false police reports since implicating but not naming me to avoid harassment charges, nothing stopping them). If you’re a single father out there for any reason and are looking for help, know upfront no one (courts, attorneys, etc) cares about the dad’s rights or involvement in a child’s life. Since the resolution, I’ve struggled to make ends meet between the debts and my obligations. Think when I’m struggling to this degree that I can afford or would even bother going back to court to have my coparent “held accountable” for the violations?? Steer clear of Sarah’s firm; felt massively overcharged for the minimal support or intervention I received from them.

I’m very thankful for Lovelace Law. They took my case on during a difficult stage in litigation and when I had to move on from a previous attorney who was way overpriced and gave bunk legal advice (watch out for KR). I had a contentious and emotionally sensitive probate case, and they handled everything with the attention, legal expertise, and professionalism I thought I had been paying for from the beginning. They got me to the finish line and my only regret is not having hired them from the beginning. A special acknowledgement to Abby Butts who was especially strong during settlement negotiations.

One star because Cade looks like a less-handsome version of Quagmire from Family Guy.
Excellent rate? I don't think $99 for full representation during the entire course of my divorce proceedings, however, did not live up to the Lovelace web site. My ex paid her attorney a one time fee of $20.00 and the divorce was a success. We are no longer married, so why did Lovelace charge me $99 for real? I was overcharged $79.00 by a shady divorce attorney. Don't pay extra like I did. Find the $20.00 divorce attorney and get the same result as this guy charging $99.00. Fifty used to be the going rate, but there are so many more divorces now. Lovelace has got to be kidding me charging $99.00 like it's something special. It's just a divorce! Same result wether you pay $50 or $20, but $99? Hell no.

Matt Davidson was referred to me by a friend, so I called him for a free consultation. Due to COVID-19, our consultation was over the phone which fit my needs perfectly. He was so easy to talk to. He ensured all my questions were answered, and I never felt like I was "on the clock" or rushed through our conversation. I hired him right away. His staff was easy to work with and efficient when it came to scheduling and rescheduling (my own fault) the appointment to meet in person. The fee was very reasonable too. I would recommend Matt's office for any estate planning needs.

Cassidy Pearson is a very thorough, experienced, and competent attorney who always had my best interests in mind from start to finish. This was particularly the case with my divorce that was extremely contentious and involving child custody. She kept me informed and I always felt like in exceptionally good hands. She never missed a scheduled meeting and Cassidy always took my calls. What I especially liked was her ability to remain calm in crisis situations. I could not have asked for a better outcome and highly recommend her.

10 stars for Ryan Horner. I fell victim to a ponzee scheme and needed an honest attorney willing to cut it to me straight.
Ryan did exactly that! He looked into my situation thoroughly before taking any of my money and gave me an extremely honest opinion of what I would be in for should I choose to proceed.
I have a bad taste in my mouth for civil lawyers as they tend to bleed you dry until you are all in to no avail and create further trauma.
I have followed advice to go for restitution in criminal proceedings for the moment but I would hire him in a heart beat had I not been able to tackle the criminal side.
The world needs more people like Ryan.

Samantha and Justin are an incredible team! I have found them to be honest, fair and sincere in helping solve the issues related to a bitter divorce. I feel heard. I feel important to them. I don't feel they are trying to bill me with unnecessary hours. They are incredibly prompt when returning phone calls or emails. I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed.

I made the decision to hire Sisemore Law Firm in late April 2020 based on a performance-based referral for Justin Sisemore personally. I am devastated and heartbroken to say that it ended up being a really bad decision for myself and my baby boy.
My ex-fiancé and I separated in April 2020. Due to a rough separation and a lot of hostility, I hired Justin Sisemore to protect myself and my new born baby. I was afraid that my ex could take the baby from me at any point so I needed temporary orders set immediately. I also needed child support to be ordered as I was not working due to my newborn and COVID had just started.
I had very limited resources and was able to come up with the funds to pay the retainer fee.
A couple of months later, I was kept growing anxious as things were being delayed, counsel kept believing the opposing side instead of me, temporary orders were not set (and my ex kept reminding me that he could take the baby at any point), it was hard to communicate with the counsel as they were working from home and did not have direct numbers to reach them and Justin Sisemore had issued my case to an associate attorney. The associate attorney’s admin rarely had answers and the associate attorney was always busy.
All in all, $17,000 later, temporary orders were just being finalized. We had not even got to mediation or scheduling the final trial. Again, this is not a divorce case. I simply needed a custody schedule worked out and child support established.
After receiving a bill(for $4,200 plus and an additional request for $1,500 for trust account funding) 3 weeks after I had just payed an additional $3,500(which I thought would get us through the temporary hearing), I withdrew from Sisemore Law Firm Services as I was getting more in debt than being helped with the extremely high and unreasonable costs of Sisemore Law Firm.
Almost 5 Months after hiring Sisemore Law Firm, my bill is $17K and the only thing accomplished was getting through the temporary hearing which established custody schedule and child support for the next 3 months. Again, my ex and I were not married so formal divorce complications did not exist.
Now, I need assistance to continue the process but have completely run out of financial resources. I thought being left by the man whom I’ve loved for years with a newborn baby was the worst thing but it turns out that..
Being left by the partner that I loved for years with a newborn baby and now, $17,000 in attorney fees with no permanent results, and in much financial distress is much worse. I do not wish this upon any single mama(or dad).

Stay clear of this law firm!! They are liars, crooks, & thieves. I was charged well over $10,000 for Cathy to do absolutely nothing on my family law case. It was like she was representing the other party instead of me as her client. Not to mention she never showed up to court on time and she lied and told me she was at court when she really wasn’t (as I heard a phone call where she called her paralegal to see if she told me Cathy wasn’t at court yet because she had already told me she was there.) also she started that phone conversation with her paralegal in this manner “What’s up b***hes” very unprofessional! Also orders were served to the wrong address which was their rightful mistake after I gave her paralegal all the proper information she needed to ensure she could serve orders to the right person/address and it was still served to the wrong person and you guessed it, I was still charged for all this. Not to mention they are still charging for phone calls when I literally talked to her paralegal and was told Cathy would review my billing statement since this law office has done absolutely nothing for my case. Oh and get this my case was DISMISSED and how did I find out? I had to hire another attorney after I felt this law office was dropping the ball left & right and wasn’t doing what was in the best interest for me and the new hired attorney found all this out, got me my dismissal court paperwork all within 24 HOURS!! Please stay away from this crook of a lawyer and law office and incompetent staff. I pray this law office gets their karma for taking advantage of innocent folks and ripping them off with their greed of “attorney” if you all want an exceptional attorney whom will not just take your money just because they can and want someone whom will really fight for your case e-mail me, I can give you all the best attorney ever. Also once I hired this new attorney to pick up the ball where Borum law firm dropped it and it was discovered my whole case was dismissed this new attorney even REFUNDED all my money!
Take my word STAY AWAY FROM BORUM law firm!! I hope this saves someone from spending thousands of dollars like I did for absolutely nothing!! Also I will be reporting to the BBB and contact the licensing board regarding this law firm.

HIRE THIS ATTORNEY IF YOU NEED TO WIN!
I never got married with divorce in mind but it happens...and to me it happened in a very big way! My spouse immediately went for the throat after I caught the cheating, asking for money and custody claiming everything in a divorce war chest including physical abuse, mental abuse, drug abuse and other criminal activities. Needless to say I was terrified when the waterfall of legal threats began to drown me and my business. I even spent a night in jail due to false accusations.
Get ready for tough love and facts during the first meeting! This lawyer is more that qualified, is tough as nails and will give it to you strait in order to prepare you for battle. She was very prepared for my case, empathetic, always available, returned calls and I never had to question a bill.
She will skillfully negotiate with the opposition and make you feel protected when you are standing in front of the judge.
Ultimately I got more than what I needed because we were prepared. My life was put back on course and I have a great relationship with my child.
Catherine Borum is the BEST attorney you can have in a that horrible situation. Don't wait until they fire the first shot.

I worked with Malorie Crosley for about a year on my case. The process, albeit long, was always clearly spelled out for me. I was also impressed with the timely responses of my inquiries. The process was very unfamiliar to me, and Kim and Malorie were always very helpful to answer all of my questions and keep me comfortable throughout the whole process. They provided sound advice and were able to navigate the complex process very efficiently. I will definitely use their services again.

Having Malorie by my side gave me the confidence and assurance I desperately needed during the most difficult and chaotic time in my life.
She, and her team, were always available to thoroughly answer my constant questions, and in language I could understand.
They always made me felt “seen” during the numerous times situations turned emotional, while at the same time, reassured by their calming expertise on a path forward.
Time after time, that expertise was challenged, and without fail, was found to be correct. They proved to me that I could trust them to always tell me the correct, and up-to-date information on matters they are experts in, and just as importantly, when to seek different counsel on matters they are not.
I truly cannot express how much I appreciate all Malorie and her team did for me.
So, if you find yourself in a situation where you need someone to be your champion, please call them and see for yourself. I am so glad I did.

I tried to do be my own lawyer. I went to court after waiting months for a hearing and was told by the judge that I did not have the right paperwork. The judge then told me to go find what I needed on the 2nd floor and to come back when I had what I needed. As I sit in that office, all kinds of thoughts were going through my head, then in walked crystal! I explained my situation to her and what the judge had asked me to do. She told me to sit in the lobby for a few minutes because she had a client. I sat in the lobby with my wife frustrated that we did not have the proper paperwork. Crystal returned after a few minutes and told us to follow her back to the judges court room. From that moment on she handled all the paperwork, court documents, custody and child support. I never stepped foot in court after I became Crystals client. Thank you so much Crystal for being such an amazing lawyer. You made a stressful morning turn into an easy fix and got the job done quickly and efficiently.

Crystal did my divorce in 2012 and I couldn't be happier.
When we found out that my granddaughter was living with a convicted pedophile and her other grandmother refused to kick him out, Crystal got me custody of her. She had to deal with a father who was obstinate for no reason other than to be obstinate (he hasn't been a part my granddaughter's life before or since).

Crystal Sieber at Marx, Altman, & Johnson handled my divorce case this year (2015). Going through this for the first time was not easy. Crystal was sweet and considerate knowing that I was having a rough time of it. She looked after my best interest and gave me solid advice that I had not thought of when considering all my options. Other than MY emotional struggle, she made the experience as good as she possibly could by being supportive, getting everything done quickly, and going above/beyond fixing something for me when she didn’t have to....She just stepped in and did it....I can't express my gratitude enough. She is a very nice person and great to work with...for those of you considering divorce….I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Very professional and caring. Side note: I did not have a lot of issues with the negotiation my divorce...but in any event the service at Marx, Altman & Johnson is easy in terms of the overall process and easy on the pocket book.
