I would like to express my gratitude to Keiko and her team. Our objective was to fight a lockdown in Bell County. Upon our initial meeting with Keiko, it became evident that we had engaged the most competent attorney available. She advocated for us and provided guidance throughout the entire process. On the day of the court proceedings, her preparation and professionalism were exemplary. Ultimately, we achieved a favorable outcome, receiving everything we requested and more.

Keiko Griffin was amazing through this whole process! She's attentive, detailed, and extremely knowledgeable. We have been working on our case for almost a year and I've never had a complaint. In the courtroom, she stayed very composed and professional, but definitely made sure we were appropriately heard. I could not be happier. You never want to have to have an attorney, but if I ever need one again, it will be Keiko Griffin.

Keiko assisted my husband and I with a child support case involving another party in another state. Keiko was very knowledgeable about the proper steps needed to resolve our case efficiently and educated on laws we were not originally privy to. We felt very empowered well prepared in what needs to be filed with another state.

I have nothing but good things to say about Mr. Tanaka. My wife and I have never been sued before so this was definitely a new experience. Over the last year we worked with Mr. Tanaka regarding a Landlord/tenant dispute. He was nothing but a professional the whole time and was always there if we needed him. Words to describe him would be intelligent, clear communicator, down-to-earth, empathetic, and confident. We were extremely impressed by him in the court room during our final hearing. It definitely payed off having Jonathan in our corner. If you need someone to represent you in any capacity I highly recommend Mr. Tanaka!

Mr. Tanaka is the best family attorney that I have worked with. I have seen him multiple times over the past three years for legal advice and recently retained him to handle my custody case. Excellent communication throughout the process. When I initially filed for divorce, I hired one of the big firms and was essentially ignored for five months. Mr. Tanaka accomplished the same volume of work in less than a quarter of the time.

Richard W. Rousseau is the best attorney I have ever had. He took my case when no one else would and has been by my side for over six years. He always treated me with respect, dignity, and compassion. He made me feel like I was part of his family, not just another client. He fought hard for my rights and interests and never gave up on me. He is a brilliant lawyer and a wonderful human being. I trust him completely, and I am so grateful for his help. I have recommended him to more than two dozen people, including my own family members. I don't do it because he pays me; I do it because I believe in him as he believed in me. He is the best of the best, and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal assistance. He deserves more than five stars; he deserves a medal.
If you are looking for an attorney who will go above and beyond for you, look no further than Richard. He is a true professional and a genuine friend.

Richard and his team represented me for my disability claim and my family and I couldn't be happier. His attention to detail, professionalism and guidance for us were all outstanding. He is extremely thorough and kept us up to date all the way though the process. He also made himself available for multiple Q&A sessions and made us feel at ease. Timeliness is also another one of his teams assets. I will recommend Richard to anyone that I know that needs any legal service that he and his team provides. Words can't even begin to convey how happy I am to have chosen Richard to represent me.

Will not go into details of my case but will say it was a complicated family matter. Mr. Williams did an outstanding job, paid attention to detail, and addressed all my concerns in the court room. Rates extremely competitive compared to other lawyer I’ve used in the Killeen area. Thank God for the victory today!

Mr. Williamson does not hesitate to make decisions on very challenging matters and has confidence in his decision making abilities. He always ensured that the appropriate people are included in the decision-making process. His decisions are on target and reflect his reliable, sound judgment skills. He can clearly explain the reasoning and provide good support for his decisions. Mr. Williamson can make decisions even under tight time frames. My daughters and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Williamson without reservation. He is No-nonsense, straight to the point and very professional. These are the words I would use to describe Mr. Williamson. Thank you for all the help and patience with my divorce/child custody case. You made a very difficult time much easier and less stressful, which my daughters greatly appreciate as do I!

After an automobile accident, Angela took on our case and after about a year, settled it for what I feel was more than a fair deal for what my family went through. This was my first experience with this type of process and Angela and her staff made it more than easy for us to understand what was going on and how the process worked. I would recommend giving her office a call if you find yourself in need of a lawyer's services.

My daughter was hurt at a persons house. The injury took surgery to fix her leg. Angie took the case with nothing up front. We were unable to get a large return on the case, so she decided that she would do the entire case for nothing. Where can you find that these days? A lawyer with a heart. She is wonderful. Very professional the entire time. Kept me posted on every move she made. Helped me out when I wasn't sure what to do in certain areas. I would say you won't find another like her anywhere. Very honest and sincere. Very glad I decided to use her and her firm. Great people.

Staunch, steadfast and passionate! Divorces are never 'fun' and noone really 'wins', but my case was perfectly represented by Cari Starritt-Burnett. She is personable and approachable and has a good relationship with the court as well as a strong professional network with local attorneys--this is a plus in dealing with your case, whether amicable or not, this will help your settlement.
Everyone at this firm is knowledgeable and amazing!

Ms. Congdon just recently took over a case I have been fighting for 2 years. Within a month of taking over, she was able to get not one, but two charges dismissed. She was able to do what others couldn't in just a few weeks time-frame. No need to look for a better attorney, retain her today.

I was pulled over late at night outside of Belton for swerving. I was on my way home to Gatesville, coming from dropping a friend off in Austin. I informed the officers I was extremely tired and was looking for a place to pull over to sleep. They administered a field sobriety test, even though I told them I doubted I could perform the tasks due to the fact that I have chronic back and leg pain and am severely over weight. They still made me go through with them, and I was arrested and charged with DUI.
I consulted Mary Beth Harrell's law office about my case and as soon as I spoke with Kallee, I already felt at ease. I knew I was making the right choice by hiring them to handle my case.
Throughout the next several months Ms. Congdon kept me up to date and informed. Eventually, we were offered a plea-deal of probation and a lesser charge of Reckless Driving. I was fine with the charge, as I was driving, admittedly, recklessly. I was not ok with probation, though. Kallee was able to work out a deal that was to my liking, with and even lesser charge and no convictions, no probation fees, no reporting to a probation officer, etc.
It felt good to be able to live my life again without that dark cloud lingering over me and that weight on my shoulders.
I would recommend Kallee to anyone charged with DUI/DWI.

Cari L. Starritt-Burnett exceeds expectations and goes above and beyond for her clients. I had met Cari, for the first time, immediately after terminating my last attorney, for lack of service, in my divorce case. I had such a dis-heartening experience and frustrating disaster with them, that I had lost all faith in finding a moral attorney. Then I meet Cari L. Starritt-Burnett. She absolutely blew me away with her professionalism, courtesy and sensitivity with my case. I met with Cari at 9:30 am and by the end of the same day at 4pm, Cari and her assistant Candy Manibusan, had my petition completed, forms for filing with the county ready and all my copies waiting for me to walk through the door. Cari L. Starritt-Burnett and her assistant , Candy, manage to accomplish, in one day, what took my ex-lawyer, 3- 1/2 weeks and they only had part of my petition done and had never even filled with the county to start my 60 days.
Cari also covered issues and things that my ex-lawyer had not even mentioned Cari was very detailed and considerate. She has a very firm grasp of the law and all that it entails. She doesn't waist any time and I love that.
Cari L. Starritt-Burnett is absolutely, with out a doubt, a moral human being who genuinely cares for her clients and their situations. Cari was frustrated right along with me for all that I had to endure before coming to her. Seigman, Starritt-Burnett, Sinkfield, will have a life long client with me and my entire family, should we require ANY type of legal services. They are on the ball, professional, understanding, competent, skilled in time management and down to earth. I feel completely confident in Cari' s hands. God Bless her for being so amazing!

I don’t even know where to start. Mr. Glendenning and his team have gone above and beyond in every way possible to ensure that we were prepared and could win our child custody case - and we did.
He tirelessly worked over two continents, two countries, three states and over three years to make sure I won custody of my children in what was a very complicated and strenuous case.
He spent countless hours, probably hundreds of phone calls in my name and listened to me cry on multiple occasions with total compassion. He showed up to court virtually during the pandemic totally prepared and really advocated for us.
Even after the case was won, he has followed up with our family and made sure that all information and documents were to me accurately and correctly and very fast.
He did all of this while charging a super fair and reasonable price.
I really do not have enough kind words and praise to describe the level of service, compassion and professionalism I received from Mr. Glendenning and his entire staff. I hope our family is never in this position again, but if so I know that we are in the best hands!
Thanks you so much Bradford, Samuel and Blanca!

If you are a person of color, do not waste your time. Not only will he not even listen to your case, he will refuse to take your case, insult you, and just refer you to an attorney who isn't white.

Didn’t even take the chance to listen to my case or anything I had to say. Instead, decided to turn me away as if he has better things to do with his day. Not helpful, rude, and attitude with people he doesn’t even know over the phone. I regret even considering this guy. Only reason I called was because the State Barr gave me a referral to him. Completely useless.
