I was involved in a motorcycle accident late September of 2014. Mr. Ghuneim and his team were very professional, and took care of all of my doctor's and physical therapy appointments. I will forever be grateful to Wisam and the rest of his team. They were there from start to finish. I'm happy to know they were on my side.

Mr. Wisam Ghuneim provided me clear counseling in relation to my situation before I elected to obtain his full services. Wisam was very professional, helpful, and confident through out the entire process. I enjoyed our relationship due to the fact that he informed me of all options, and was supportive with whatever decision I made and the direction in which I wanted to go. His communication throughout the process from Wisam and his staff was very good. My questions and concerns were always answered in a timely manner and I never felt "worried". I was quite comfortable throughout the process when typically matters of legal nature can be very nerve-racking and bring on un-needed anxiety. I didn't worry about the outcome because through my experience with Wisam I found him to be a very sharp, witty, and confident fellow that knew what he was doing. I am typically a highly involved individual by nature and I actually had no problem letting-go and having him do what he does best. We proceeded accordingly through due process until we reach our the desired outcome that I was looking for. Needless to say, I got what I wanted and can easily say that I will not think twice about calling Wisam again for any other legal needs that may come.

Mr. Mahoney was like no other laywer, and we had more than 10 we have hired since 2015.
He saw right thru the lies. Best money spend !
In no better words but in these perfect words that I can say about today- he was a home run on my enforcement! Let him do this thing and don’t bother him, have your evidence organized and the timeline ready for him. Stay quiet, and listen. Thank you Mr. Mahoney! - Mr and Mrs Q

Lori Is Amazing. She is an absolute beast in the courtroom, because of her years as a detective and as an attorney, she knows the questions to ask, and how to draw the answers out of people.
My divorce was a long drawn out nightmare because of the opposing attorney, they tried every dirty trick in the book, delay after delay, even resorted to try and bankrupt me by filing motion after motion thus having us appear in court time and time again. Lori never faltered. She stood by my side, believed in me, was compassionate, seemingly always a step ahead of the opposition, and in the rare occurrence of a father being awarded primary custody, because of Lori, I am one of those rarities.
I see some people complaining about not being able to get ahold of Lori, but know that she really is always in court or trials. If it’s urgent, her paralegals, specifically Kim, will get back to you, especially if it’s an emergency. HOWEVER…something I want to stress to those complaining about reaching her, Lori gave me a great bit of advice from day one. She said “It my job to do the worrying, if I’m not worried, then you shouldn’t be. If the opposing side files something that makes me worried, then I will call you to get the info. The last thing you want to do, is blow up your bill with phone calls when you can easily email me what’s going on and submit anything of relevance or problematic” She gave me an outline of things to come, and tips on how to keep our bill down. (Keep in mind, everytime you call your attorney, it costs money. This is a business.)
In short, contested divorces are brutal. Unfortunately it takes a lot of time, patience, and money, especially when the opposing council tried every nasty tactic in the book. Lori is a truth seeker, she did an amazing job at both our trials, she listens to your wants and gives you the reality of reasonable expectations, she is an absolute beast in the court room that was able to get info out in the open that I wasn’t even aware of. She was able to connect the dots, cross the T’s and provide proof to the judge to get us our victory.
Thank you Lori, my awesome and ridiculously blunt paralegal Kim, Matthew, Janine, and the rest of the staff that helped me thru this difficult journey. I don’t know if I can even express in words the gratitude I have for all of you. Thank you all so very much.

Like others have said do not waste your time. She took the money and ran. I haven't spoken to the lawyer in 2 years. To be honest the lawyer probably doesn't exist anymore and the paralegals are forging her information at this point. Nothing gets done. Save your money please.

I first hired Mrs. Reyes when my family and I were involved in an accident and she went above and beyond to win the case within a matter of months. She also has represented me in my immigration case and is excellent on helping out gather as much documentation in order to once again win the case. I highly recommend anyone who has an immigration matter that needs an attorney who will contact you directly, work with your busy schedule then please be sure that the first and only call you make is to Mrs. Alma J. Reyes.

I was involved in a serious car accident last year. I hired Mrs. Reyes to represent me in my case because a friend recommended her to me. She took the time to personally explain the entire process thoroughly. She kept me informed and was always pleasant. She obtained a settlement in my case I was very pleased with. The insurance company was very rude and could not care less about me after their driver hit me. I'm so glad she was by my side against the insurance company. I recommended her to family and would recommend her to anyone involved in a crash.

Before meeting Attorney Cari Brownlee I didn't have a positive experience or opinion of lawyers. Well she changed my mind completely. She is extremely thorough, professional and trustworthy. I appreciated most how she made sure and kept me informed and spoke to me on my level. I HIGHLY recommend Cari Brownlee to anyone looking for a great lawyer.

She handled my divorce and I can't say enough how professional she was during the whole process. Ms Creel always communicated about the status of my case and was very prompt on responding to my questions. I was very worried about the whole divorce process, but she made it very smooth and took a lot of the worry off me. I would definitely recommend her!

what a waste of time and money, this firm should be called LIERS not lawyer. This man call his clients a couple of days before their hearing to make sure they have money before taking any step forward. one of his family lawyers (Samantha Gonzales) did not know her head from her toe. I will not recommend them for baby sitting a child.

Mr. Ghuneim was able to help my family dismiss two tickets that would have resulted in fines and be considered a misdemeanor offense. Support was wonderful, result was ideal (both dismissed) - and the cost was a fraction of the fines. Thank you again for all your help.

Mr. Ghuneim is the Judge in Arcola and if you do just a little research online, you will see how incredibly incompetently run Arcola Municipal is. Gwendolyn Tealer is really as bad as everyone here says. Wow. For anyone who goes in, watch out for this larger African American woman who really shouldn't be allowed to work in a court. I agree with the other reviewer, even a fast food job would fire her for this, but she is in charge of people's driving records? Based on these reviews, I did file a bar complaint against the Judge: Mo Ghuneim. We have clear evidence from the reviews alone that this Court is ruining people's records repeatedly, and I"m sure the Texas Bar will be very interested to find out what is happening in Arcola.
I faxed over some information to get my case resolved after Ms. Tealer asked me to send it over. Months later, it still hadn't been resolved. I called again, Ms. Tealer had taken no action, and I suppose feeling defensive, brought 'the attitude' out. Ms. Tealer is one of these people who isn't much at her job, so makes up for it with attitude. When I spoke to her on the phone the 3rd time, I felt that I had to go extra slow for her to understand, and that she may have been drunk like one of the other reviewers said, just realy low-class behavior.
I don't expect much from someone like Ms. Tealer, but I do expect more from the Judge and the Texas Bar, and have reported Mr. Ghuneim for this incompetence in Arcola.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND MICHAEL D. WEST AS AN ATTORNEY. HE WORKED ON A CASE, CLIENT WANTED A TRIAL BY JURY, BUT HE ACCEPTED TRIAL WITH ONLY JUDGE MAKING DECISION. DURING THE COURT PROCEEDING HE DOES NOT BRING THE EXPERTS TO PROVE THE CASE WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE CASE. CANCELLED THE MAIN CHARGES OF THE CASE, ADVISING CLIENT THAT IT WAS FOR THEIR BENEFIT. LOST THE CASE SINCE THE ESSENTIAL CHARGES WERE CANCELLED FROM THE CASE. LOST A HIGH VALUE SUIT BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE

I have retained Mr. West's legal services for the past two years. His representation through my divorce and subsequent proceedings have been quite exceptional. His knowledge of law, insight and counsel has been instrumental to me throughout this transitional period. He has earned my complete confidence and sincerest respect. I highly recommend him and his staff at West and West!

Mr. Shuman was nice, affordable, and knowledgeable. When we discussed what needed to be done to obtain custody of my daughter (I'm her father) he basically said it would be cheaper if we got my ex to sign the paperwork ourselves. Which was fine, I got them signed, then I didn't hear from Mr. Shuman for weeks. We finally got a call and he said court in two days. TWO DAYS. Thank God I was able to take the morning off work with so little notice. Then he was late showing up for court, he talked to the judge for me, the judge asked me few questions, signed the papers and we left. It's been 3 months and I still haven't received my new custody papers. I've called the office multiple times, left messages with the secretary. Mr. Shuman was a decent attorney, did his job, but his communication skills are a zero. Because of this one problem, I will never use him again.

To start, I hope you never need the service of an Attorney, but if you do, I strongly recommend Mr. Shuman.
Years a go, I open a simple child support case at the attorney general office, and when my ex turn that small case into a Custody Case, the Att. Gen. Office step back and told me that I need to get a private attorney other wise I will most likely lose my 4 year old little girl at the hands of a fhater that many times verbally express his negative feeling toward her.
Living day by day, single mother, and no money, I Desperately begin to call every attorney that I could find on the ph. Book, and every single one had the same answer for me..."no $$, no case"..... "$200-$300" was the average per hr,.... "We need $2000 to start"..... And when I begin to lose my hope, Mr Shuman call, and I answer that phone so aggravated for the situation, and his answer was kind, and he begin to talk of the options I have... He was the only attorney from that ph. Book That offer me help, and more than that..."hope". He was knowledgeable, experienced,profecional, trusted, and patient , but also, so kind and compassionate. He reprecent me and my daughter for a total of 3 years (due to the extension requested by my ex and his attorney ). 3 years !.... And Mr Shuman show always all those qualities.
I own him the happiness of seen my daughter grow up by my side, and also a very good support check for my daughter.
My story happens 13 years a go, and until this day I still thinking that God put Mr Shuman is my path, and I'm so thankful for that.
Thank You Mr. Shuman.

Lori Is Amazing. She is an absolute beast in the courtroom, because of her years as a detective and as an attorney, she knows the questions to ask, and how to draw the answers out of people.
My divorce was a long drawn out nightmare because of the opposing attorney, they tried every dirty trick in the book, delay after delay, even resorted to try and bankrupt me by filing motion after motion thus having us appear in court time and time again. Lori never faltered. She stood by my side, believed in me, was compassionate, seemingly always a step ahead of the opposition, and in the rare occurrence of a father being awarded primary custody, because of Lori, I am one of those rarities.
I see some people complaining about not being able to get ahold of Lori, but know that she really is always in court or trials. If it’s urgent, her paralegals, specifically Kim, will get back to you, especially if it’s an emergency. HOWEVER…something I want to stress to those complaining about reaching her, Lori gave me a great bit of advice from day one. She said “It my job to do the worrying, if I’m not worried, then you shouldn’t be. If the opposing side files something that makes me worried, then I will call you to get the info. The last thing you want to do, is blow up your bill with phone calls when you can easily email me what’s going on and submit anything of relevance or problematic” She gave me an outline of things to come, and tips on how to keep our bill down. (Keep in mind, everytime you call your attorney, it costs money. This is a business.)
In short, contested divorces are brutal. Unfortunately it takes a lot of time, patience, and money, especially when the opposing council tried every nasty tactic in the book. Lori is a truth seeker, she did an amazing job at both our trials, she listens to your wants and gives you the reality of reasonable expectations, she is an absolute beast in the court room that was able to get info out in the open that I wasn’t even aware of. She was able to connect the dots, cross the T’s and provide proof to the judge to get us our victory.
Thank you Lori, my awesome and ridiculously blunt paralegal Kim, Matthew, Janine, and the rest of the staff that helped me thru this difficult journey. I don’t know if I can even express in words the gratitude I have for all of you. Thank you all so very much.

Like others have said do not waste your time. She took the money and ran. I haven't spoken to the lawyer in 2 years. To be honest the lawyer probably doesn't exist anymore and the paralegals are forging her information at this point. Nothing gets done. Save your money please.

Beyond the worse lawyer I have had in my years of going to court. He is rude always wants things to be his way if you try explaining things to him he starts yelling threatening to drop you as a client. He works alone so everything he had to file would take weeks so it prolonged the case more. My case lasted almost two years and nothing was done I had to email him each month asking for updates and all he would say is waiting on reply for AG or the other attorney but no movement. I asked to go to trial finally because I was tired of the run around with him and other lawyer for months so he dropped me as a client because that’s was going to be too much work for him. So now that I’m talking to Lawyers to hire for this case they look into it and tell me he did nothing for my case and it should had been finished a long time ago meaning I paid him to just go to court and have resets. If you are looking for someone to represent you this man is the wrong person to do so he can’t even remember half the the things you tell him I have proof of everything I’m saying and I’m so upset he wasted my time and money on him.

We hired Aldape a few years back after previous lawyers didn’t help at all. He has truly been an amazing lawyer and helped my husband get primary custody of his son amongst other things. Bernie is smart, kind, and aggressive in court. He got us everything my husband was asking for. We are truly grateful for everything he and his staff have done for us. They answered in a timely manner all of our calls and messages and always kept us informed of everything that was going on. I would 100% recommend this law firm to anybody looking for a lawyer, be it criminal or family cases

I am incredibly grateful for the support and representation I received from Mr. Bernie Aldape. He assisted me with not one, but two court cases—first when my daughter's father sued me for custody and then again during a contempt case. Throughout both cases, Mr. Aldape was the epitome of professionalism and demonstrated his vast knowledge and expertise in family law. He was always honest, straightforward, and dedicated to getting the best outcome for me and my family. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, I won both cases. If you're looking for a reliable and skilled attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Aldape. You’ll be in excellent hands!
