Amber always had my best interest in mind especially when I didn’t know what to do. She listened attentively to my case and what I wanted and she went above and beyond to advise me. I’m grateful to her and her staff (Nohemi) for being patient with me and staying the course. The court ruled in favor to all of my requests. Don’t hesitate to give her a call.

Amber was highly recommended to me by a close friend who had previously hired her for her case. I had walked into Amber's office getting ready to just throw in the towel after knocking on several attorney's doors and being disappointed. After our consultation, I left her office knowing that she would be the one I would hire to fight for me and most importantly my child. She made sure she spoke to me with facts and did not promise anything that she knew could not be possible. She is definitely not that attorney that is in it for the money, she actually cares about her clients and each and one of their cases. I hired Amber on more than one occasion and each time she fought like a pit pull in court and made sure she did her homework before even walking into that courtroom. I placed my trust on her and her work and I am glad that I did because if it wasn't for her I would still be stuck in the same rut that I was in. Amber gave me the courage I was lacking to fight back and not be intimidated by a bully. I highly recommend Amber to anyone who is looking for an attorney that not only does her homework but treats her clients as humans and not dollar signs. If I ever were to need an attorney again she would be the first one to call without hesitation. Amber was worth every penny because she gave me and my child a peace of mind and a peaceful life and I will forever be greatful.

Thank you for a quick and comprehensive process. Ms. Amber was a helpful attorney and quickly handled my paperwork and scheduled court date. Minimal effort on my part was needed. Her secretary Nohemi was very helpful when Ms. Amber was not available. I appreciate all your efforts. Thank you again. Highly recommend.

I retained the services of Haley Law and have had the distinct pleasure of working with both Laura directly in conjunction with her associate Tony Weiner on multiple matters that stem over a few states. Originally, her firm was hired to address a relatively small issue my company was having with sub-contractor that was later discovered to not be licensed. Laura stepped in right away and we were able to get to the crux of the matter so work would continue without any further delays. Since that time, her firm has been retained as corporate counsel as our open dialogue with my company’s interests are best served by both her and her team’s experience for the foreseeable future. I would highly recommend Haley Law without reservation.

Judge Robles went above and beyond for me for the past 2 years. Had a custody battle with an ex who wanted to get out of child support but only wanted custody of one child (other parent never attended court cases which prolonged the case) and Judge Robles helped me get the case dismissed and also the non custodial parent had to pay way more in child support when we finally got done with the case. Thank you and the girls in the office for always keeping me updated with my court dates and for getting this case closed finally. Highly recommended!

The WORST experience anyone fighting in a family court could go through.
Starting from the personnel never answering or calling back after several messages, the niece answered once and when I told her my name she thought she put me on hold and cursed me out to the attorneys assistance when she heard my voice she hung up, I sent an email regarding this un professionalism and was told “she’s young” for the amount of money we pay we deserve quality professionalism. The assistant was out a lot of times so I would have to call and call and call to get simple updates that should of been relayed to me without my persistence. I basically payed for someone to stay quiet the entire court session, I presented all the documents I provided and did my research, even then MY DECREE was WRONG! When I mentioned my 10 year old was listed as an adult disabled man and my 17 year old listed as a youth disabled child I was ignored, I sent proof via email no response. I have 3 kids NONE are disabled not sure where this even came from.
The entire form caused the child support to question the decree so my children have not received support since October 2022, pending to go back to court with more court fees to have the decree he messed up fixed.
But the firm refuses to take ownership nor respond to at least say no I will not help since I’ve been paid in full.
I couldn’t even get the firm to help remove themselves from the child support office cause as you all may know you cannot request info if you had a lawyer on file, multiple times I requested them to remove themself since they stated they had nothing else to do until the third time did the assistant respond that paperwork was submitted to remove themselves. It was to say the least a nightmare to be represented by this firm. I do not recommend at all means. I wish I had a better experience but glad I won my case at least, no thanks to the firm.
I have proof of all this in emails if not I would not have stated any of this. People please do your research and spend your money elsewhere or you’ll end up like me back in court for paperwork issues that I was told should have been fixed by the initial attorney that was paid for a service they did not provide.
Anyone wants proof send me a message I have all the screenshots plus my latest communication that was ignored. It’s truly sad how someone can take advantage after we let them in to our lives to help with the issues we are facing, and not help for free but a big payout.
(UPDATE: Assistance mention of medical issues was removed but to clarify no where did I include the name or the medical information I was provided without asking!
Also to add I never gave up custody of my children and I payed the fees for the amicus attorney myself, Robles did not help with this, the amicus was appointed by the court not the attorney, all the proof I needed to gain custody of my kids was provided by ALL MY OWN research!)

We are incredibly grateful for the Barrera Law Firm.
Ricardo went above and beyond to support us. He kept constant communication, guided us through every step, and treated us like family when we appeared in court. He was incredibly well prepared and ensured that we comprehended every aspect of what was occurring in the courtroom. Through his expert defense, he managed to have my son's felony charge dismissed. My son still has a misdemeanor pending, but Ricardo is still working on it.
Ricardo, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You've given my son the chance to carry on with life, and for that, we'll always be indebted to you.

I was referred to Lisa by a friend, and he couldn't say enough about her. She had mediated over his divorce, and he stated that he was very impressed by her knowledge and ability to bring a positive resolution to both parties in his case. I had my initial consultation with her, and everything he said was validated. She was kind and attentive, yet tough and straight to the point. She went right into action, and put me at ease. My case went to court, and then mediation as well. The end result was far better than I would have gotten, had I retained just any attorney. I cannot recommend her enough. If you are in need of representation, and want the best by your side, look no further than Lisa.

We met Lisa at the Cameron County Courthouse. She was there representing another case and we were there trying to to navigate our way through child support and family court pro se, having traveled in from upstate Texas. Before we even had a chance to address our case before the judge, she met with the other parties to hers and listening to her was all it took to want to hire her. Lisa is a straight shooter. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She doesn't hesitate or walk around bad answers or behavior, and asks that everyone be held accountable for their actions. I immediately asked for her contact information and she began representing us that very afternoon. By the end of the evening, she had e-filed on our behalf and everything we'd been hoping to say or points we felt were important to make, she included. Her experience and flair were very evident in her initial filing. While our case is far from over, our experience so far has been a cake walk with her. We aren't just a number to her, she recognizes and responds to us because she knows our plight. She doesn't ask us the same questions over and over because she remembers. She doesn't take for granted how near and dear this proceeding is for us, and she doesn't treat us poorly when we ask too many questions or send in page long rantings. She understands the importance this carries for our family and our future. Yesterday was our third court date (in Texas), and neither my Husband nor I worried. We didn't stress about being there for this issue for the first time EVER because we are so confident in our attorney and her firm. I know Lisa will see us through. I know she will continue asking the questions that deserve answers and making the other party accountable to the years of bad decisions and dishonesty. The motions she's filed, our communication since day 1, and dealing directly with her as a person tell me that we will finally have a chance to be a part of the second half of our child's life--the first half having been robbed. She fights for justice and she believes in it, and that's all you can ask for in legal representation. She's made this process less scary and easier to endure. We owe so much to her for that.

I happened to be at the Cameron County courthouse ready to speak on my own behalf regarding a child support/custody matter when my wife spoke to Lisa regarding my situation. Within a matter of hours she was by my side fighting on my behalf. I am an active duty Soldier who has been stationed in various states dealing with custody issues with an ex wife while deploying overseas never able to get any real say in the matter of my involvement in my son's life. Lisa took a situation that we thought was hopeless or at best an uphill battle and brought instantaneous light at the end of our legal tunnel. She has been empathetic, professional and amazingly thorough and has helped undo years of damage in days. I could not reccomend her enough and am eternally grateful for her presence in my life at a time when I needed someone like her the most.

I consulted with Ana a few years ago about applying for citizenship for my husband. Navigating Customs and Immigration is such a complex process. The directions for each form are long and complicated, and the stakes were so high for my husband and I. Ana eased my anxiety, and gave me all the information my husband and I needed to apply. She gave me an overview of the citizenship process from start to finish, including when each of the applications would be due. She helped my husband and I understand the documents that were needed, and the order to put them in through several rounds of sending in applications and paperwork. She prepared us for the interview so that we answered questions confidently and accurately. Ana was with us every step of the way. I don't know where we would have ended up without her calm expertise!

For many years, as a bank manager, I had contact with Tom Curtis on mainly probate matters. After I retired, my father passed away and I needed to help my mom navigate through getting the estate settled. My mom is 88 and I wanted someone that would explain everything in simple language to her so she would feel comfortable. I remembered all the many attorneys I had dealt with in my 41 years of banking and my first choice was to reach out to Mr. Curtis. He had always treated me with respect and was very professional always. My mom and I met with him and hired him to navigate what turned out to be a a very complex will to process. Mr. Curtis had to prepare many documents in order to present sufficient information for the judge to grant my mom as executor. The Judge even thanked Mr. Curtis during the proceeding for his total preparation of the case to make her decision a quick, confident and just decision. We could not be more pleased with is services. I will return within months to have my 12 year old will reviewed and revised if needed. We trust him completely and highly recommend his services.

As a father, I felt it would be an uphill battle getting custody of my children from my ex wife. I knew I was the parent and would do the best job caring for the children. Mr. Saenz believed in me and he fought hard and long. It took two years but Mr. Saenz did everything he could to prove the children would be better off with me. He worked countless hours and always had the time to visit with me and keep me informed. He was punctually and very professional. I can't say enough about this Attorney. I am so thankful I hired him.

Mr. Sheline was a great help in a very difficult and stressful situation. Had hoped for a friendly uncontested divorce, unfortunately my ex-spouse s attorney was a real pain and she only made things worse. Mr. Sheline understood what was going on and helped stand up to what I was facing and to navigate through the very treacherous waters I faced. He always got back to me, when I tried to reach him and was able to answer my questions and explain what we could expect.

If someone out there is need of a phenomenal lawyer, call him now. You won't regret it.
I'd also like to thank his office assistant. She is polite, professional, and follows through with your call back requests (within reason, I'm sure).

Contacté a este abogado bajo recomendaciones de una buena amiga. Habiendo consultando ya anteriormente otros abogados sin querer tomar el caso de mi mamá, el Sr. Rocha fue sincero conmigo y me dijo que había pocas probabilidades de ganar el caso, pero que sin embargo, iba a realizar todo lo que estaba en sus manos para que mi mamá pueda estar reunida pronto con nosotros. Confiando en las buenas reseñas y la larga experiencia laboral, decidimos prestar de sus honorarios. Actualmente no tengo palabras suficientes de agradecimiento, porque tengo a mi madre al lado. Fue un honor prestar de sus servicios: resolutivo, profesional y de una escucha activa al cliente. Finalmente, recomiendo altamente a este profesional que los guiará en cada paso y, nuevamente muchas gracias a Pablo Rocha Law offices por un caso más exitoso guardado para su récord.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation. -
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. -
How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
