I had the pleasure of meeting Attorney Johnson almost a year ago when my daughter went to jail for a bogus charge. My daughter was dealing with some mental health issues and this attorney right here stuck with us ALL the way through everything and got the charge dropped down to a ticket with time served on last week. She was so Patient with my daughter and our situation. All I can tell you is she is an amazing and loyal attorney that I would recommend to anyone that's looking for a good criminal defense attorney.

I am incredibly grateful to Attorney Mamie Bush Johnson for her excellent legal representation. From the first meeting, I knew I was in safe hands. Mamie is a professional with expertise and a commitment to her clients and their cases. If under promise and over-deliver were a person. I was facing a felony charge, which was very scary, and I didn't know what to do or where to turn. But I cannot tell you how much it helped me to have Mamie on my side, at the front of my legal team, working so hard for me every step of the way. She ultimately won my trust. I knew without a doubt that she would take me to a much better place than where I was when we first met. What really makes Attorney Johnson unique is her experience, determination, and clever thinking. She didn’t just look at the evidence; she looked through it. And if she didn’t find a lot to work with, she turned all the stones over again to devise some "what ifs" that took the case against me in a direction I never thought they could or would go. She was the compass that pointed to a "dismissal." she did this for me twice on two separate occasions more than ten years later. That shows it's not just a stroke of luck, in my opinion. Tenacity apart, Mamie Johnson has something that not all attorneys have: a really impressive command of the law. She knows how and where to use it to serve her clients' best interests. I expected a lot from my lawyer, but I got even more! I really felt that she cared about my future and wasn't just going through the motions. Attorney Mamie Bush Johnson knocked it out of the park! I can now proceed with my life without the shadow of charges hanging over my head. I recommend Mamie Bush Johnson without hesitation to anyone needing an attorney with skill, compassion, and a strong sense of integrity who will fight for you and your future! She gets five stars from me!

What can we say about Ms. Johnson? I'm glad you asked. My family and I hired Ms. Johnson outside of AVVO. What can we say about her and the service she provides? We can say she did her job. We can say that she's a patient advocate for her client. We can say that she'll put her client's best interests before her own. We can say that professionalism is a Good Friend of hers. We can say that she is no stranger to preparation. We can say that she displays a dedication to her craft. We can say that we are More than satisfied with our results. We can tell you to Trust the process, Trust God, & Trust Mamie Johnson!

I have the extraordinary pleasure of having each one of these phenomenal individual attorneys take part in my case/s. Each one of them have went above and beyond their primary titles. I will not go into my ongoing case but I can absolutely tell you that before I had the privilege of having these Heaven Sent Angels brought into my life/case/s I had completely lost my faith in Attorneys. Every single individual in this firm has given me back hope, faith in our Attorneys and how how they will work for you. There is so very much I can say about the Alband Law Firm unfortunately there is nothing I can tell anyone about how unbelievably phenomenal this law firm is and how each individual go to their above and beyond compassion hard work dedication, and love of what they do. There truly are no words to express what they have done for my child and me. The only way you will ever know how Heaven sent these Angels are is to experience how far and beyond they will go for you. However unfortunate your situation or circumstances may be. The Number One in Attorney at Law. The Alband Law Firm. Thank you Ms. Luanne, Mr. Alband, Mr. Javier, Mr. Bill. Phenomenal does not even begin to describe this Law Firm.

Brandon helped my family prepare for several potential and unfortunate scenarios with my parents' respective health by prioritizing specific legal documents that would have slipped through the cracks otherwise. Certain aspects of Texas state law are incredibly confusing to say the least, and Brandon was able to distill everything into easy-to-comprehend action items for my family. Throughout the process, he and his team were extremely patient and handled our case with empathy and compassion. Brandon and his team always carved out time to help us when we reached out on a whim when we were struggling with various questions with my family's situations twists and turns. In all honesty, our family would have been lost without his guidance, and we would have paid the price by not preparing ahead of time for certain events. I am so thankful that we hired Brandon and his team to help us with our situation, and I highly recommend McGee Law Firm to any who might need his legal services or consultation for their own unique situation.

Brandon provided an interesting thought provoking seminar. Was knowledgeable about many specific situations. Engaged Brandon’s firm to prepare all necessary trust, power of attorney forms. After several meetings to explain our specific requirements, Brandon presented us with a comprehensive and complete binder that included a well organized and detailed explanation of how to navigate possible situations. Booklet included forms for you to complete for your specific situation. These included listing financial account numbers, contact information for executor to settle estate with ease. Great road map for all situations. Detailed instructions were easy to read and comprehend—even for a lay person. Free review for adjustments every two years is a plus so you can stay connected with latest changes to law. I highly recommend this law firm as they staff seem to have your best interest in all facets, are sincere friendly and very professional. You feel valued each step of the process.

Abe factor is very busy and if he just sat and talked to everyone all day hed be broke. He does his talking in court and when it counts he is there. It can be frustrating at times, but the end result is what matters. Sit back relax and once you hire abe let him do his job, he can only do certain things at certain times. The court process is slow so just be patient.

Marci went beyond my expectation. She worked diligently (despite the COVID slow down in the courts) and with great compassion, in getting a resolution in my conservatorship of two children. Her hard work in getting the necessary paperwork, including serving the absentee parents, who proved difficult to locate, living separately in two states. Her personal concern for the welfare of the children and obtaining a stable environment for the them to grow up in was wonderful. I will gladly recommend her, and if need be use her again in the future.

I hired Mark , for a divorce it was a costly horrible divorce that because of reconciliation off and on it lasted approximately 6 1/2 yrs . I payed Mark thousands of dollars over that period of time - divorce can be costly and if you want prime rib and all the fixens then you gotta pay for it . Ok here it is , (1 ) I could of changed attys anytime . I’m a retired cattle rancher ( hands on ) and retired airline pilot - and I don’t take crap off anyone and if I do - I have to sure respect them . Mark will tell you … “Shut Up and listen !” When its needed … he will call you ask how you are when you have surg and ask if you need anything?and mean it - He will listen when your discouraged at the same time keep your skin thick because divorce isn’t for the weak . Yes … I had very heated discussion with him when I didn’t agree - all but once that I remember he was right and I was not quite right . That’s what I was paying him for ! I didn’t need a lot of bedside manner - I wanted to open and maintain a can of Whoop A.. and he did but smooth flowing just enough and he cooled my jets when needed ( often ) . If I called .. he answered , if I needed to ask a question he answered it - sometimes he told me … “let me work …this is costing you $” ( when I was over managing ) he’d tell me “I got this . “ I used mark to pound the beach with the heavy artillery soft up the enemy and I mean nobody gonna mess with you in or out court house if he’s your atty … seriously ! It’s been yrs now since …. I got the divorce :) I was going through my phone and saw his number .. texted him and just as when I was paying him thousands $ he answered my text and he’s there if I need .. I’m telling you I’m sold - I’d hire him again - I like him as a person and I like when it comes to him as my atty I could look away and he’s got it . He’s better as a leader / teammate than your opposing counsel so hire him and listen , he’s got it ! just let him work !!!!! RG

My experience with the vast majority of attorneys was just plain "Icky." Alice however, delivered amazing service from her small unassuming office. I entered her office fully expecting and willing to pay a hefty bill. Instead, she steered me towards an option that was literally thousands of dollars less. And for icing on the cake, she prepared a motion on the spot that I could file with the court. She's a caring woman and great attorney.

With all the emotions of a custody case the last thing I needed was problems or concerns with my own attorney. I was disgruntle from past experiences and hesitant but took a chance and couldn't be happier with the decision. From the beginning, the Law Office Of Mark M. Childress has taken care of me and adjusted to meet my needs. From financials, being responsive, fighting for what I feel is right and shooting me straight so I had no false expectations, this Law Office and it's staff have been there for me. I represented myself at first, didn't sleep for weeks and was on the verge of loosing my case without knowing. I couldn't be thankful enough for them stepping in and not just stopping but reversing what was about to happen just in time I highly recommend them and will continue to utilize their services in the future if needed.

We were in a very challenging spot, taking care of our nephew with major behavioral problems as legal guardians. Doctors advised us to call the state to put our nephew into the state conservatorship so additional facilities would be available to us. When we call, CPS threatened us with legal action, tried to intimidate, and were the opposite of helpful. Greg came through for us in a big way, when we needed it most. He calmed us about how CPS tries to intimidate guardians, advised us on how to prepare for court, and represented us. He was fantastic.

Lisa Haines understood the significance of mental health problems where the judicial system fails to. We had a case that was clearly untreated mental illness & NOT criminal. She was able to show the judge evidence & get the charges completely thrown out. Charges that should have not been in the criminal system to begin with! Mental illness is unfortunately a sad failure with the police & the courts. Lisa Haines did not give up until someone finally looked at the evidence. It took two years & she never gave up. She changed our lives. Thank you, Lisa!

Mr. Reed is extremely personable and easy to talk to. He is also very kind and courteous. Mr. Reed was very helpful to me at a time when my life felt like it was upside down. I feel through his diligence and extensive knowledge it made the hardest time of my life a bit simpler.

Ms.Minick was my court appointed attorney and she was amazing at helping me through my case. Since it was my first time ever being in court or having to go through all that she helped me make decisions and guide me through the process. She got my case dismissed. This was the best experience I’ve had given the circumstances I was in. I couldn’t have asked for better.

I had a possession - cont sub <1g, had served 2 years of my probation as well as completed all fees, classes and appointed programs. Unfortunately I relapsed after my mother passed, and had 2 dirty UAs. They revoked my probation and wanted to send me to State Jail. I found her in Avvo and read her credentials and reviews and just had a feeling she would be the one that could help me. She was able to get me time served for everything I had completed, my case closed and walk away free. I'm clean now and so thankful she gave me a chance to stay free and provide for my family in the most desperate times.

I would most definitely recommend Kim Minnick, Atty. and her firm for representation for anyone! She goes above and beyond what you would expect an attorney to do for you. She is a go-getter and will fight fight fight for you. As well, she is highly respected by her colleagues and judges in her field of criminal law. Kim has an impeccable record. I can't say enough good things about Kim and this firm and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Kim from the bottom of my heart. Taryn L. Horn

I have trusted Spencer with a more complicated than usual family law matter and have full faith in him. These are the folks you want on your side should you ever need legal counsel. He came highly recommended and has truly been a blessing. Don’t look any further for a family law attorney in Tarrant County. He is the best of the best.

I had previously hired another attorney back in 2016, but due to the uncooperativeness of the other party's attorney and my attorney's own personal demons, my case was dragged out for two years with zero progress. Then, I met Spencer back in April 2018. I explained to him the backstory of my case as it currently stood. My case was not an overly complicated case at all, as I was simply being denied my access for visitation. He made no promises, but did tell me that I did have good merit for a modification of the parent-child relationship, which is what I believed to be the case prior to meeting with him. If I'm not mistaken, the final trial in my case had been reset a total of 4 times over the course of my case before we officially had trial. After all these years, dating back from 2014 - 2022 (8 years), my case was so loaded with evidence, it was actually planned to have trial over the course of 2 days. Luckily, we were able to finish trial in 1 single day. While Spencer does represent both mothers and fathers, Spencer has a real passion for representing fathers and is an advocate for fathers' equal rights, this is one of the reasons I was drawn to hire Spencer. I knew that I did not make a mistake when choosing who I wanted in my corner. For those that think that simply having an attorney is the be-all and end-all, you couldn't be more wrong. You should be on top of your case just as much as your attorney is. Your case is as good as you make it out to be, an attorney can only do so much. I went to trial thinking that my case could go one of two ways. I figured in the best case scenario, I would be awarded 50/50 custody, worst case scenario, nothing would change (which is what is typically expected in the District Court I was in since the judge is traditional and old fashioned - which means "pro-mom"). To my surprise, the judge awarded me primary custody with everything additional that I asked for in my pleadings (effective 04/11/2022). Spencer is a fantastic attorney who actually gets the job done and takes pride in his work! There are many attorneys that practice Family Law, but in my opinion, I wouldn't consider most of them to be good "trial attorneys", whereas Spencer knows all of the ins-and-outs of trial, he knows what evidence should be presented and when, he knows exactly when to make an objection, and he can be extremely persuasive to not only the judge but the opposing party. I never had any issues with communicating with him or his office. I could not have asked for better representation! I know exactly who I will refer people to when a Family Law attorney is needed! Thank you so much for everything, Spencer!

Spencer handled a divorce for me. I was so impressed with the meticulous and determined manner in which he handled the case. The prior lawyer quit on us and didn't respond. Spencer stepped in and pushed the case forward and obtained an incredible result. Spencer fights for his clients until the end, then he fights some more. Because of his efforts, Spencer gained a client for life and I recommend him and his firm to everyone I know in need of a family law attorney.

There is no better attorney to have with you in family court. He’s honest and upfront and will not stop fighting for you. My nightmare case has lasted 9 years and he’s been a godsend every single step of the way. He’s whip smart, detail oriented and has a mass of resources behind him that are invaluable. I refer him to every person I know that finds themselves in family court. In fact, the opposing attorneys secretary told him that he’s the best at what he does and then asked him to represent a family member of hers. If you have the opportunity to have him take your case, consider yourself extraordinarily blessed.

I cannot speak any higher of Jeff Branch. He handled my unfortunate divorce for me and made it a smooth, way less stressed ordeal. I had originally hired a different attorney who did what most lawyers do, promise to help you, get your money, then put you on the back burner. After my wife's attorney walked on my attorney a few times with no fight I called and met with Mr. Branch. Let me just say, the tides turned quickly to a point where everything smoothed out and stayed fair. One of the most brutally honest people I know, Jeff always told me the truth and shot me straight. Right from the start with my case, he told me "no one will walk away with everything, but I promise you'll both walk away with what you can live with". He was so right, our divorce was fair and neither side felt cheated. The one thing I will say is Jeff Branch commands respect with his knowledge of the law and his winning attitude. From the moment he took over my case, it was like I had hired a Pit Bull to represent me. He watched over my case with great attention, communicated with me at every step, and literally changed the balance of the divorce from my wife and her attorney taking anything and everything they could to them doing more agreeing to Jeff's terms and submitting to what he told them they could have. His courtroom presence is very professional but very intimidating at the same time, with an air about himself as someone not to be pushed around. I really cannot say enough about how he got me through the most difficult time I've experienced with confidence and a resolution I felt very happy about. He truly cares for every client. If you find yourself in need a of an attorney for divorce or family law, you owe it to yourself to hire the best to get you through it. I highly recommend Jeff Branch as the ONLY choice for family law.

I left her office not knowing what I would do, she was very straightforward and kind. The next day I got a call from her saying she was taking my case if I still wanted her to that she couldn't sleep the night before for thinking about me. She was God sent blessing and her representation was above anything I ever imagined. Jamie won my case to my satisfaction completely. Thank you

I have worked with Ms. Taylor since the start of my divorce in 2017, it's conclusion in 2018 and every issue that has come up since. Through everything the other party has thrown at us (constantly losing counsel, backing out of agreements, and generally prolonging the case) she has handled every aspect in my case with urgency, attention to detail, and a grace that only she has. I'm amazed at how she is always able to anticipate the opposing parties next move. A little background on this issue, my son was back and forth to the doctor around Jan 2020 with breathing issues. Finally, he was diagnosed with severe asthma. He had to take different medications and be hooked up to machine several times a day. Then, Covid-19 hit in March 2020. During this time, he were still going to visitation and all parties were made aware of our son's condition and the doctor's recommendation. However, the other party did not follow these guidelines (i.e. taking him to parties) which put him as risk. Ms. Taylor handled this situation thoughtfully. She attempted to work with the other party outside of court and get him to agree to follow the doctor's recommendations and guidelines. Only when the other party refused, did we seek assistance from the courts. The judge ruled in our favor allowing my son to limit his exposure to Covid-19 while getting his asthma under control. I will be forever grateful to Ms. Taylor and her skills as an attorney for helping my family live a happy healthy life.

My child custody and support was messy and having Jamie representing me instilled confidence that no matter the outcome, it was with the best interest of my children ALWAYS as first priority. Her attention to detail and intelligence is unmatched. I cannot express how many times she out maneuvered opposing counsel. She was able to get everything I asked for and more. I was completely satisfied with Ms. Taylor’s representation. I have suggested her to friends and family.

I want all to know that Mr. David Wynne’s representation in my court case has given me not only the impression but the confidence that being an attorney, especially in family court, takes a special person with a heart that is understanding and compassionate for their clients and involves extreme knowledge of the Texas Family Laws that as I know now is an ever-changing living entity. When we started this cause, it was going to be a simple visitation request so I could spend a few hours a week with my son. Mr. Wynne was straight forward on what I should expect and how we should approach everything in regards to the case, which was very important to me because I had never had to be involved with anything of this sort and was completely unaware of what to do. From our first consultation, I felt a sence of relief and confidence that he would do everything he could to help me. His honesty, confidence and knowledge of Family Law was proven to be not only evident throughout my case but exceptional and extremely beneficial to the brilliant outcome. Our case quickly turned into a custody battle when abuse and neglect of the child was determined and from there, without hesitation, he jumped right in and with all the confidence you would want your attorney to have when it involves protecting someone you love. As I had mentioned before, this was a lengthy case, and with each court date Mr. Wynne was always prepared for the known and unknown, his expert trial ability during cross examination and questioning was respectful yet aggressive when it needed to be. I feel that he fought for our family like he would fight for his own. I want to Thank you Mr. Wynne that I now have custody of my son with all the other stipulations that I will not get into that helps assure that we can breathe a sigh of relief for my son who is now a funny happy loving 3 year old. After one of the court dates David Wynne stopped and talked to the other party’s Father in the hallway it was a brief friendly encounter I don’t know what was said, but the Father text me later that day telling me “David is a really good guy, I wish we could use him” – to me that epitomizes who David Wynne is… as an attorney and as a person.

Once again my x-wife sued me for no reason. I started with another attorney but was getting out classed by my x-wife attorneys. I had a very good friend that is a very well known attorney who recommend David and oh was it the right call. David was able to out class my x-wife attorney, we summary judge on one of the sues against me and on the other we were able to get them to go away as we had them dead to right heading into our court date. David was the first attorney to out class my x-wife attorneys and my wife used the one firm everyone claims is the best in Texas, well David proved he was the best in Texas. Thank U David, I will be forever in your debt for winning my cases.

Before hiring David Wynne to represent me in a complex divorce case, I carefully studied Fort Worth Magazine's "Top Lawyers for 2020" and attorney reviews in the Avvo Lawyer Directory. In both places, I found Mr. Wynne to be very highly rated and decided to contact him by telephone. A ten-minute conversation convinced me that David Wynne was the attorney I wanted to represent me. While reading my first letter from Mr. Wynne, I noted that his letterhead promised to provide clients with "aggressive controlled representation." Yes, I found this to be the case, but, more importantly, I found him to a "client friendly attorney" who always represented me in a competent, caring, and classy manner. My divorce case had been poorly handled by my previous attorney. For this reason, lots of work was required by David and he had many "Motions" to file just to "get us up to speed" and "place us on an even playing field" with my former wife and her attorney. As this occurred, during a five-month period, David's legal knowledge and skills as an attorney became very evident to me. Because of delaying tactics by the opposing counsel and the fact that this counsel required my divorce case to be arbitrated rather than settled in a court of law, the case took 14 months to resolve. Throughout this time, David provided me with excellent legal advice and was always available to support me. At The Wynne Law Firm, David is ablely assisted and supported by Sarah Halferty, administrative assistant, and Candice Blalock, senior paralegal. Both of them are very efficient, dedicated to legal excellence, strongly support the work of David, and provide needed assistance to his clients. Personally, I found Sarah and Candice to be pleasant, helpful, and wonderful representatives of The Wynne Law Firm. For any Fort Worth Area resident needing expert legal representation in matters relating to child custody, family law issues, or the divorce process, I highly recommend David Wynne. He is a knowledgeable, skillful attorney who very professionally interacts with his clients. Certainly, if there comes a time when I again need legal assistance, I will contact David Wynne.

Anna was very understanding and considerate of my situation and wanting to get my case taken care of right away. As soon as I hired her, she jumped right on it, contacting the DA's office, and got them to not file the charge that was pending against me. She was also able to talk to my parole officer, and submit a document from the DA stating they were not picking up the charge for me. My parole then lifted the blue warrant off of me. This all got settled within a matter of days, and my parole officer said I was really lucky, that this usually doesn't happen with a family violence charge. All thanks to Anna for getting this done!

After struggling with a large amount of unsecured debt, my wife and I decided we needed to consult an attorney. We selected Mr. Huebner based on proximity and good reviews. During our initial free consultation, Mr. Huebner was personable and made us feel at ease. We decided the best route for us was to file Chapter 7 as a couple. We were provided material to follow a step by step process. Our case had some elements that complicated the process but we were provided answers to all our questions. Most questions were answered by the material we were given, but when needed, Mr. Huebner kept us up to date and answered all our questions via emails and telephone conference since the COVID-19 crisis closed all offices. We have since filed and participated in the creditor's meeting without any problems and are looking forward to having our case completed. We highly recommend Mr. Huebner.

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:
