He was always straight forward, available whenever I had a question or needed help with my case and is very ethical. I would definitely use him again if I ever need a Family Lawyer. Worth every cent!

My brother was involved in a bad car accident driving a company car. It was the other driver's fault but as medical bills kept piling up, his insurance would not pay since it was not his fault and the other insurance was slow to respond. I recommended Attorney Javier Marcos and he came in and took care of everything. From working with my brother on his continuing medical care to getting compensation from the insurance company and others, he worked tirelessly to make things right. I highly recommend Attorney Javier Marcos.

Interestingly enough I met atty Daniel Grey on an off chance. He was at mediation that I was not a party to, and I was in the building for other reasons. As we crossed paths and began speaking he gave me his business card and said something to the effect of “you never know when you may need my services”. As I walked away I thought ‘how did he know’. Long story short within 6months I needed his services. That was about 13 years ago. He not only was a great attorney but he advocated for all sides which is not like many family law attorneys. He helped me see things from my child’s perspective and my spouse at the time. In doing so it made the divorcing with children much more smoother for all parties involved. Over the years I have referred over a dozen of friends & colleagues to him during their time of need and he has always shown great detail and concern to them in the same manner he showed to me. I am only writing this review now because I recently referred someone to him. Though he could not represent the guy due to the county he lived in he still took the time to call him after work hours and be a calming voice and help him him understand the process, ease his mind and refer him to two other lawyers that specialized in that county. I am blown away by this. No charge and he gained nothing other than respect and this review. So many other lawyers won’t even talk to paying clients during the day and a night call is not a thing. So for Daniel to do this was going beyond the pale. I am so thankful for our chance encounter all of those years ago and all the help he has provided to me and to all that have been referred. If you want a lawyer who shoots straight and treats each client even opposing counsel as family & friend to work on a fair settlement he is your guy. This is not about money for him, he truly cares. Thank you Atty Gray. Your father was a great mentor to you. You’re appreciated.

Daniel is the best family attorney I have ever dealt with. He has been my family attorney for almost a decade. There is no one I trust more to have my back when it comes to my kids. He will shoot it straight with you, it is not about the money for Daniel, its about you and the kids. I would and have recommended Daniel to anyone looking for the BEST family attorney. I would give more than 5 stars if it were possible.

Let’s start with the short version: •I was stopped by police in the early morning hours on a Saturday and arrested in Harris County for a first-offense DWI. •I hired Mr. Ruiz on Wednesday morning ahead of a Friday court hearing. •On Friday morning, Mr. Ruiz walked into the courtroom and used his extensive knowledge of DWI law, resulting in my case being DISMISSED!! Bottom line: In 3 days, he had my case dismissed! More detail: Mr Ruiz is experienced—18 years of specializing in criminal defense and DWI law; his fees are very reasonable for his caliber—you won’t find a tried-and-true superstar lawyer at his rates in Harris or surrounding counties; he is a true professional who understands his clients’ stress and aims to communicate with you as needed. If you’ve never needed a lawyer of any kind before, you should know that there are lawyers who are in it for financial gain, but have little to no heart invested in what they do; that’s not Joseph Ruiz. He loves what he does, and he cares about his client’s lives and future. Hire him. You won’t regret it!

I found myself in an unfortunate situation facing a felony and a misdemeanor charge both of which were my first criminal offenses. Initially I didn’t know where to turn; so I googled Criminal Attorney Houston, Texas. I called dozens of attorney’s on the list but none of them made me feel confident they could get both charges dismissed, additionally almost all wanted to charge me upwards of $25,000 or more for both cases. Thankfully I came across Mr. Joseph Ruiz! I read all his 5 star reviews of previous clients testimony and like me they faced serious charges that Mr. Ruiz was able to get dismissed! Today I write this review to add my own testimony to the list. As of today my felony and misdemeanor charges have both been DISMISSED!!!!!!! I am glad I trusted Mr. Ruiz through this process. He treated me like a human being during my unimaginable ordeal, he has restored my reputation, and has given me my life back. I am forever grateful to Mr. Ruiz. He makes it look so easy upfront, but behind closed doors he is advocating on your behalf fighting your battles in court and coming out victorious! There’s no better lawyer than Mr. Ruiz! His fees are affordable (he gave me a discount and allowed a payment plan). His service is impeccable. I can not recommend Mr. Ruiz more! Mr. Ruiz thank you for your unrelenting work ethic and for helping me get the best outcome for my cases.

I had to find an attorney for a mutual client in another state on a Saturday. I left several messages for different attorneys and was pleasantly surprised when Joe immediately called me back. He showed great professional courtesy to me as a fellow attorney as well as his new client. His performance on the case was stellar. Of course, all cases are different, but in this instance he obtained a dismissal for the client and she didn't have to appear in court after initial appearance!

I was referered to Ms.Rowland by a another attorney who felt that she was a better fit for my case. My case started out as a CPS case with a protection order later added. Ms.Rowland on our 1st court date won and my custody order remained unchanged. Then instead of having to attend court the next day over a protective order she was able to get that withdrew and held mediation instead which resulted only in minimal changes. Ms.Rowland was always very upfront with me and always gave me the choices of very best outcome or the worst outcome. She was always a phone call away no matter the day or time. As a mother also she would sit and let me cry and just listen she truly understands and is truly all in with her clients. Her fees are reasonable and she explains that fully in your consultation. If you are in need of a family attorney and someone who will listen and fully represent you in court then Ms. Rebecca Rowland is your attorney.

I spent several weeks researching family law attorneys. I spoke with several of them by phone and even had a consultation with one. I was about to give up on my search and go it alone until I spoke with Rebecca Rowland. Our initial conversation by phone was very professional and she actually spent more time with me by phone then another attorney had done in a face to face consultation. She asked all the right questions and her compassion was genuine. When you discuss your case with her you know without a shadow of a doubt she knows family law! She was very honest about what I could and could not expect with my situation. She made sure we had both reviewed all aspects of the case and knew what outcome we wanted. Ms. Rowland kept my best interest at heart and she fought for what was fair. Her rates were reasonable and her hard work and compassion was outstanding!!

This Has Been Long Over Due, I Hired This Attorney For 2 Felony Possession Of A Fire Arms And 2 Months Later Ended Up Hiring Him For 2 More Felony Possession Of A Firearm, 2 Months After That And Possession Of A Control Substance Over 200 Grams And Aggravated Assault With A Deadly Weapon, And Harassment All At The Same time. 7 Cases In Total I Was Being Charged With. These People Were Trying To Bury Me And I Ended Up Walking Away With 4 Years Deferred And 6 Months SAFT, For 2 Felony Possession Of A Firearm. Everything Else Was Dismissed. It Didn’t Stop There, Went To SAFT And Left Because Of Personal Reasons Was Violated And Charged With Escape, Went Back In Front Of My Judge With This Same Lawyer And Got That Dismissed. If This Lawyer Ain’t The Goat Then Idk Who Is, If You Having Doubts On Wether Are Not To Hire Him Ask Yourself This Question, Do You Really Want Your Freedom? If The Answer Is Yes Then Consider Yourself Lucky That You Found This Hidden Gem In A Field Of Corrupt Lawyers That Really Working Against You. I Just Left Court Today Again For Another Violation While On House Arrest And Guess What, I’m Back Home Able To Right A Review. I Don’t Know How He Do It But He Gets The Job Done. I Pray That I Never Have To Use Him Again But Incase I Do Just Know I’ll Be Here To Write Another Review On Mr. Jack.

I believe the level of care and attention my case received from Annie made all the difference in pulling together a solid petition and my I-140 was approved without an RFE.

Andreea handled (and is still my attorney) my 3rd DWI (felony). I was terrified, and had lots of questions. She was always helpful, answering emails in a very timely manner. It was such a relief to have someone so knowledgeable and caring in my corner. Since my DWI was/is a felony, I knew that I was facing dire circumstances. She worked with the prosecution to get good results for my case. Even after the sentencing, she continues to answer my questions immediately (hey - she replies faster than my own mom!) and encourage me to keep moving forward and staying on track. I would highly recommend Andreea to anyone in need of an attorney for a DWI. She'll keep you informed through the entire process, and let you know what to expect.

I hired Dawn out of my search in Avvo and I was not disappointed. She not only knows the law in Texas like the palm of her hand, but most importantly knows the Courts in Harris County, the judges, and the procedures very well. She's a master of the rules of engagement in front of the judge and in my case practically destroyed the opposing counsel (politely and professionally) in Court proceedings. She's also very personable and fun to be around. My divorce case was handled expeditiously and successfully beyond my expectations. I strongly recommend you hire Dawn to represent you.

First let me say...do not go into a divorce without your own attorney!!! I almost waited too long to hire Dawn. While on the phone, she pulled the information on the courthouse records she told me to get in as soon as I could that afternoon. It wasn't what was stated in the paperwork it was the ambiguous terms that were used. Dawn is direct, aggressive, very busy which sometimes makes her hard to reach and a darn good negotiator. She knows her stuff. Don't go see her if you want a shrink...go to her if you want to be well represented. Make sure your expectations are realistic and you will do well. The "friendly" divorce paperwork was full of open ended statements that would have cost me more than my legally fair share. With that being said she warned me right from the beginning that we are now negotiating a business transaction not a friendly settlement. You can go back to friendly after the divorce is final. You have to take care of your interests and Dawn will do that for you in legalese if you let her. Sometimes you wonder where she is going in her logic... but just sit back, watch and listen...she knows what she is doing. I think if I had been as aggressive as she suggested I may have done better...but I couldn't let go of the relationship. Remember if you are enlisting the help of an attorney (Dawn)...your relationship is over...so let her get down to business. She is very good in mediation. She understands how to effectively work through the process. She should since she offers mediation services in her practice. I think the most impressive thing and the sign of a well respected attorney is when we went to the courthouse (unfortunately we had to go), she was known by many of the court employees, officials and other attorneys that were waiting for their time slot. If you are reading this I am sorry you are having to go through it...but I think Dawn is a good choice. By the way she was recommended to me by another satisfied client.

Every part of dealing with Chris was a positive experience. She is has solid integrity, is a great lawyer and has a get it done attitude. She has a great attention to detail but is also very responsive. She looks at ways to speed up the process and reduce expenses, and I am sure she was conservative in the hours billed. The other side's attorneys were not responsive and not organized. Chris made up for it, did way more than our share so we could get the divorce finalized by the end of the year. I am convinced that if I did not choose Chris that we would still be dealing with this divorce 5 months later. Chris also has great communication skills. She was a leader in the collaborative meetings and a voice of calm, humor and reason (which I needed) in our many one on one chats. I honestly can only think of positive experiences in regards to working with Chris. I am cheap, but I never felt bad when writing a check for the professional services I received. I am sure no divorce is easy. A tough time for all involved. I luckily chose Chris as my attorney in a collaborative divorce and have never regretted the choice I made..

I assumed, wrongly, this proceeding would go rather smoothly as there were no children to contend with. My now ex wanted the 50% of the house and 50% of the IRA. I owned the house outright before the marriage, and one of the IRA's I earned prior to marriage so not community property. Chris provided the other attorney with case law, and figures from the house and IRA's to prove our point. There was still money to be distributed, but not to the extent the other party requested. Chris has done this before and knows how to put together spreadsheets to demonstrate her point of few. She is easy to talk to, accessible. The entire process works better if the client provides requested information on a timely basis. It keeps everything moving.

From our first consultation we retained Mr. Cotlar without any hesitation. We felt confident that our son would be well represented. Mr. Cotlar and his staff went to work for us immediately. He was very responsive when we had questions, answering messages and texts almost instantly. Thank goodness all turned out well for our son. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing a criminal defense attorney I would highly recommend Mr. Cotlar. Thank you Mr. Cotlar and staff for all of your help and support through a very stressful time!

Muy satisfecho con el servicio que recibí por parte de mi asistente Melissa Cruz y el abogado Pete Weston, atravesar por un proceso de Bankruptcy no es fácil, los nervios de tener que pasar un proceso así lo hacen muy difícil, pero desde el día número 1 cuando visité la oficina y tuve mi primer meeting con Melissa y me explicó todo el proceso en detalle, me calmó y me sentí mucho más seguro de seguir adelante. Comencé el proceso y todo fue muy sencillo y fácil, me mantuvieron al tanto de cada paso y ya hoy puedo respirar nuevamente y estar libre de deudas, 100% recomendado.

My husband and I are very grateful and appreciative of all the hard work Cruz put into my husband's case. We were recommended to him by two people and from the beginning when we first met him he showed how smart and knowledgeable he is about different types of cases. Through it all he thoroughly explained and taught us the laws so we would understand every step of the way. I know more now than I knew before. He was great at answering my calls and if he couldn't he returned them right away and answered all of my questions. He is very kind, honest, and always treated me and my husband like family. I could tell he truly cares for his clients. My husband's case was a high case that would have gone to trial but Cruz was able to prove his innocence and get the case dismissed. Thank you Cruz for everything you have done for us, especially my husband! I will always recommend you to anyone looking to hire a lawyer. My husband can now breathe knowing he has his life back and we can now move forward.

Mr. Cruz Cervantes is a very responsive, dependable, and professional Criminal Defense Attorney. He has over 30 plus years of experience and communicated the process that I would go through from the initial consultation visit, then throughout my entire case. I made several phone calls to Mr. Cervantes throughout my case and he always took the time to answer all my questions and address any concerns that I may have had. He made sure I understood all the options available to me and what my rights were. He worked hard to always review and follow through on every piece of information that he was given so that we would be ready to defend my case in court. Mr. Cervantes kept his best interest in me and worked to get my case dismissed. I highly recommend.

Martin Shellist is an absolutely brilliant lawyer in many levels. I had been involved in lengthy and drawn out lawsuit that looked like it would never end and was financially debilitating and caused enormous levels of stress. After over two years, we brought Marty in and within a matter of weeks the suit was wrapped up. He looks at things from every angle. He does not allow manipulation and will call out whomever needs to be called out. He knows the law and how it works. He addresses issues through various angles, so that strategies are in place and issues are handled and not dragged out. I trust his guidance, knowledge, insight and intuition completely. I highly, highly recommend him.

I hired Martin to settle a rather complicated divorce from my previous company. Like any divorce, there were issues that needed to be negotiated. Martin was on top of it all. He was super sharp and most importantly took the time to understand all the issues, the players and the priorities. He set the gameplan and executed it so well. Martin is a great lawyer but he's also trustworthy, responsive and really kind. I've met a lot of lawyers and it's not easy to find this combination. When it comes to employment law, he is simply the best.

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:

    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.
