If you’re familiar with Exodus, Camille is my Moses. When I first met Camille, I was a scared, shaking, shell of myself with only enough hope left to pursue a consultation. I came to Camille with so many misunderstandings about family law and I felt so trapped by what I had been told elsewhere. She corrected my misunderstandings with the perfect combination of comfort and authority to help me see all the different paths forward we could take. Camille had the experience and knowledge to confidently guide me through each step of the way. My fears became less and less powerful with each successful push forward, and my divorce ended in not only a great settlement with my children and I taken care of, but also a promising co-parenting relationship with my former husband and the ability to get along when we’re together with our kids. Camille was the best defense and best partner to lead me through the hardest season of my life. I love my new life so much and I can’t imagine having even a fraction of what I have now without her. She got me through this time so strategically and with so much sensitivity, no one else could have done for me what she did.

Carissa helped my wife and I adopt our daughter. As an LGBTQ+ couple, it can be scary to take on something like this in a red state, however she streamlined the process, fought for us, educated us, and ultimately got everything done in less then a years time. Couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer for my family during such an emotional time. Would recommend time and time again. Also want to shout out her legal assistant, Ashley C., she is always on top of everything, very responsive and extremely knowledgeable. Thanks again Carissa & Ashley!!

If you find yourself in a high conflict divorce or aggressive custody battle, Mary Neal is THE attorney you need. She gives you the most logical advice that works the best for you and your circumstances. She’s not going to give you false hope, build you up with the things you want to hear (your emotions will need to be handled appropriately), only for you to be met with disappointment. She tells you realistic outcomes to different scenarios you might face, while strategizing a plan that is in YOUR best interest.
I feel confident in Mary’s ability to handle my case with care and consideration. I trust her advice, even if it’s not always something I want to hear, and I’m thankful for the hard work she has put towards my high conflict cases. I have been at peace with every outcome and will continue to use Mary whenever she is needed. There is no other attorney I trust more to give me reasonable counsel through some very difficult situations.

Mary is a smart & precise. She has your back & gives realistic expectations. I’m happy I found her & Melanie as they are the best lawyer & paralegal team I’ve met. Family law is not a fun experience, but to have them by your side is a comfort. After nearly 5 years of knowing her,I’ve seen multiple clients that value her work for them. I highly recommended her!

I was parked at a gas pump, and semi came through wrong entrance, side swiping and demolitioned my vehicle...the driver gave false information to not only me but the cop. It was almost like I had been robbed, the trucking company tried to just let it go.... I was referred to attorney Mark Montgomery in McKinney TX. His office was committed to getting me a honest settlement, after knowing the driver was dishonest. Mark staff was so well managed and reassured me, they would try for the best possible outcome. Thank for focusing on my my case and taking care of me as your client.

My case was a very complicated one; there was a criminal case going on, a civil/family case, and I was being sued. Needless to say, it was beyond ugly! On top of that, my first lawyer, despite the fool proof ammo she was given, she not only not only failed miserably, but gave the opposing council and my ex the upper hand. Long story short, Montgomery had to do some serious damage control to even let it be an even playing field. I've never seen anything like him in the courtroom!! He is calm, tactful, assertive, compassionate, aggressive, patient,... whatever he needs to be. He's a pitbull in the courtroom! Unlike anything I've seen, or have even ever heard of! Him and his team are absolutely remarkable! They gave me my life, and more importantly, my family back! I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, Montgomery's my man! I have, and will continue to, refer my loved ones to him. I can't thank you enough Montgomery & team!!!

No one sets out on he wedding day thinking I'm going to get a divorce someday. Sometimes the inevitable happens though and that day does happen. When I reached that day in my own life, my #1 concern was that my son was effected as little as possible and his best interest was put first.
I interviewed several attorneys before meeting Sharon Ramage. After meeting with Sharon I knew she beyond fit the bill. Her background in Social Work gives her the background to have your kids interest covered.
Our divorce was very amicable and other than a few things my ex and I agreed on all points, because of this Sharon offered to handle the entire divorce. This not only saved us thousands of dollars, but allowed us to fast track a lot of the process. Since I hired her, she couldn't give my ex advice on anything but would send & submit things for both of us.
Her office staff is just as amazing. I worked closely with McKenna & Betsy on several occasions and they were just as wonderful.
So if you do find yourself in need of legal counsel for you family matter, I can't think of anyone more qualified than Sharon Ramage.
I wish you all the best!

Recently hired Sharon to help me in a battle for custody of my son. My situation was complex to say the least but from the beginning she provided me with nothing but confidence, reassurance and truth. I think the best quality is her ability to express to you blunty where you too, are at fault as much as it can feel like a hard reality in the midst of a struggle it is calming and easier to approach the courtroom with your eyes open to every aspect behind it, especially in a case that is not only involving yourself but the well being of your child. Highly recommend her. Not to mention Betsy Ober is always right beside Sharon they mesh well to put you at ease before, during and after your hearing.

Where do I start..what amazing attorney and person. I was very discouraged at the beginning of my situation, not knowing what to expect. After speaking with Mrs Coulter, I knew right then, I had nothing to worry about. She was extremely prompt, explained to me the things about my case I didn't understand, but most importantly everything she said she would get done, she got done. She even continued to help navigate me and my family through other situations even after our initial case was resolved. We are forever thankful for Mrs Coulter. I encourage anyone who may be facing a discouraging situation or if you are in need of legal assistance for your situation, to reach out to Mrs Coulter for help, you will be very grateful you did.

My grandma is a client of your and she's not able to type this message and as a care taker of hers.

Initially I hired Mr. Miranda to handle a misdemeanor family violence charge that I was falsely accused of. He got that case DISMISSED for me. After that case was resolved, I was ready to move forward with divorcing my accuser. He finalized that case for me as well. I am pleased with his representation in both cases and would highly recommend him and his staff.

If you are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable attorney who can walk you through the process of a setting up a Will or Trust, Medical Power of Attorney, Financial Power of Attorney, and Directives in the event of illness so that a trusted family member or a friend can make decisions for you, look no further than Jake Estes, Attorney at Law, with offices in Frisco and McKinney.
When my husband was ill and unable to travel to Jake’s office, he made arrangements to come to our home and brought the documents with him for signatures. All we needed to do was ask two close friends to serve as witnesses for our signatures. What we like best about Jake is he can explain complicated legal procedures and documents in plain language that we can understand. We can recommend Jake Estes, Attorney, without reservation! -Lyle and Sandi Froese, McKinney, TX

Working with Natalie Paul was a true pleasure. She and her team(Stephanie Fay) handled my probate case promptly, professionally and compassionately.
After the death of a parent, things can get REALLY confusing for the executor. Along with the inevitable workload of managing my father's affairs to completion, the probate process is a black hole of never ending tasks and spontaneous issues that I'd never anticipated. Over a period of about 6 months Natalie communicated effectively and was able to walk me through the intense and laborious process, all while empathically answering my continuous flow of questions.
Her help was very much appreciated!!

From the second I walked into their office I knew this was the team I wanted working with me. They answered all of my initial questions and concerns regarding my situation. Being a difficult situation I did not want it dragging out for an extended period of time and Kayla and her team did an excellent job getting it handled and finalized in a timely manner. I’m big on communication and everytime I reached out with question I had an answer same day, whether it was directly from Kayla or a member of her team. They made sure I felt comfortable with every decision they made and gave me their professional opinion when it came to my thoughts on certain terms. I would pick this team to represent me again if ever needed.

DO NOT HIRE THIS LAW FIRM. Especially Adrienne Peters. They will milk you for as much as they can with no conscience. They kept on dragging my friend’s divorce case, asking for money for every printing and mailing and phone calls. When they went to court, they were so unprepared that the opposing counsel had everything they asked for. Zero defense or work put in by them.
As soon as they saw that they were losing, they fired the client after over $20k of legal fees. They just threw the towel in and said the case was too difficult for them.
Oh, and the receptionist is the most insolent of them all. She speaks to the client like she is doing you a Favour. She’s extremely rude.

The following is my opinion:
I would not recommend using this firm. I retained them to pursue a claim against a strip mall landlord for breach of contract. They asked for a $5,000 retainer ($2,500 of which was non-refundable). I sent them all of the information they requested. I waited for weeks and heard nothing. I contacted them multiple times for a status report, and was told that they were working on it. I finally got a draft letter to the landlord that was written in general terms, and they admitted the letter would likely get ignored. I was nickle and dimed for every little thing. It cost over $1,700 for a letter that I could have written. My advice is to seek legal counsel elsewhere.

When I hired David Haynes (extremely low in cost) on a Class C misdemeanor charge. David Haynes told me to plead no contest; (which I thought was the same as pleading guilty) and I knew I had a recorded conversation of the man that filed the false charges; of said man saying "I broke my window; you saw me do it; but your the one going to jail for it, I love it". So, I refused to plead no contest. When I didn't plead no contest and I said "not guilty"; I was immediately arrested; finger printed; and Haynes came to get me in the back room for me to go to my other case that Haynes wasn't involved in. A bad apple; told me to hire Doug Mulder; to appeal and enter the solid evidence of the con artist saying "I broke my window; you saw me do it; but you are the one going to jail for it; I love it". I paid Doug Mulder (high profile criminal defence attorney) $5,000 and gave him the "recording that proved my innocence". Doug Mulder and John Nation Attorney claimed that the appeal was filed in the wrong county; and yet there was a trial in the right county; and Mulder and Nation didn't enter the only evidence needed to prove my innocence. I went to jail for 10 days. I now have a record; whereas if I had done what DAvid Haynes said to do; plead no contest and hope that someone actually signs what DAvid Haynes said I would get "three months deferred ajudification; that would have been a far better outcome for me. In closing; I would tell anyone to hire David Haynes; make sure before you plead no contest that the States offer is in writing; and don't ever think that a more expensive attorney is going to be a better attorney. The only negative that I experienced with Haynes; is that 4 times I told him that I'm not taking a plea; I want to go to trial because there's a bigger picture; Haynes just wouldn't say " okay trial it is; and that will cost me more". All people should be highly skeptical of people of Power. Trust no one is a good motto. The world if filled with trickery. I will never know if I would have actually gotten Deferred Ajudification or Not. But; I still question this: that when I plead "not guilty"; and I didn't sign to a plea agreement; then; "why was I immediately arrested and finger printed"?

Mr. Haynes reviewed my case with me, explained processes and procedures, discussed circumstances, and prepared me with multiple scenarios, situations, and possible outcomes. He let me ask many questions and showed great concern with all my expectations. He is top notch. He did exactly what he said he'd do, when he said he'd do it, and I couldn't be happier with his counsel.

Stay far away from this attorney unless you like being lied to and put on the back burner. Your case is not important to this man. He is impossible to communicate with because he will not respond until the day before your court date. He refused to invest any time into getting to know the details of my case. He has not provided me with the court documents I have requested time and time again. Now that I have asked for my money back He has completely disappeared and lost all contact. Not that he was really communicating anyway. I say this on the behalf of my court case and a couple others who used him. So it's not just me he ripped off, I know this for a fact. Sadly to say he stole my money and alot more from the people I have talked to. He needs to be removed with his license stripped away so he can't take advantage of another person at the most vulnerable times in their life.

Mrs. Tucker was the judge on last settlement of my divorce case ( 2017-2018). Actual divorce was on 2009 & in 2017 & 2018 financial part which did not finalized by my ex husband was settled on my ex husband favor. Mrs. tucker did not let me to say a word as I open ( with permission in sign language) my moth she hold her hand as sign of stop on my face! And she said stop! She treated me as I am not a human as I do not have any right as I am different than her. It could not have been more humiliating as it was!
The results was under her supervision my divorce degrees of 2009 which was signed and finalized by previous judge was revised to favor of my ex husband! A man who physically, verbally, mentally & emotionally abused me & our two children for 40 years!
As mrs Tucker glanced at me at first she took in on no benefit of the doubt that I am guilty and no human!
It is so unfortunate that our life of living in this world should be judged but a educated judge like this!
This is almost 5 years pasted! I haven’t forgotten . My heart still hurts! I am writing this so people read about it ! I believe in God I am sure he will take care of justice!

Absolute worst lawyer ever! Doesn't explain the steps of your case. Is very hard to communicate with since he barely responds to emails/phone calls. For my case he put my business appraiser two weeks after due date on docket. Lost my witness, $5000 dollars for appraisal, and around $100,000 business value since the judge didn't allow the testimony or appraisal paperwork. Since my husband didn't provide most of the needed paperwork after the discovery phase, we had two 'motion to compel' hearings. Twice Eric did NOT ask for the missing documents at all, even though he recommended these hearings. Again, another waste of time and money. For the final court hearing he was absolutely not prepared and did a horrible job presenting my case. Since the divorce outcome was so bad, he recommended that I'd appeal the judge's decision. Really? You mess it up and blame the judge? I would never, ever recommend him. One would think that $450/hour would bring some knowledge and expertise. Alas!

I initially hired another lawyer.
Fired her after first hearing.
Hired Eric.

This attorney has no business doing some of the sensitive work he’s doing. In court when addressed by the other side in an aggressive untruthful way, I looked to my attorney to do what he’s there to do, and he was literally twiddling his thumbs looking at the ground while rocking back and forth.
