Austin is a great guy who really cares about his clients. I’ve called him multiple times to get me out of sticky situations. He is knowledgeable and has an aggressive passionate approach that gets things done. Nothing worse than a lackadaisical lawyer. I would highly recommend him for any of your legal needs.

Patrick Short and his staff handled things very well and appropriately. No one ever plans on needing counsel, and Patrick is a light to guide you through the unknowns. There are lots of praises I could heap on here, but I won’t be that guy. Use Patrick…and listen, then follow thru with his instruction. The rest will work itself out.

Probablemente si estás leyendo este review es porque estás considerando si tomar a Patrick short como tu abogado, te pido que te tomes el tiempo de leer sobre mi caso antes de tomar tu última decisión.
Antes de trabajar con Patrick fui con una abogada para que me ayudara con mi caso, ella solamente me cobró una cantidad grande de dinero y no hizo absolutamente nada con mi caso, nunca se presentó a mis cortes y solo me pidió que firmara el trato que me estaban ofreciendo. Y fue después de eso que conocí a Patrick Short, el me demostró ser una mano amiga la cual me ayudó a salir de donde creí que no podría salir. hoy en día gracias a él mi caso fue dismiss y estoy libre de cualquier cargo. El además de ser un abogado que habla español e inglés es una persona sumamente profesional y justa. El es alguien en quien puedes confiar tu tiempo y tu dinero porque es honesto y realmente se preocupa por sus clientes de corazón. Yo respeto mucho a él y a su equipo que siempre me trataron de la mejor manera. También su secretaria Jackie es muy profesional y atenta a los detalles. Siempre les estaré agradecida porque no solo hicieron un increíble trabajo en el caso, también me dieron paz y tranquilidad.
Si eres latino viviendo en Estados Unidos no dudes en contratar a Patrick el habla perfecto español y es sumamente profesional. Lo recomiendo con el corazón.

I was highly recommended with this law form for situation I have I called in for an appointment and pay for a consultation , The receptionist didn't want to hear me out for the situation , I'm sorry you are not the attorney how do you know that Patrick Short will not take this ? If he did not at least I'll have a 30 minute consultation and have a legal advice and pay my fees and he'll probably recommend me with somebody else

First and foremost I would like to thank Mr. Ryan Branch and his amazing staff for their outstanding work, leadership and professionalism throughout my entirety working with them. Ryan himself not only was an outstanding individual, but as a lawyer he exhibited true character and integrity as he provided he his patience and attentiveness. His guidance has not only set me on a path of success for my issue in particular, but his knowledgeable counsel has also helped me with a better understanding of day to day life. What an amazing team! I truly thank you all! God Bless!

KC and his team did a great job fitting my needs for my legal situation with my HOA. They were prompt, with communications, and have a great system for transferring information. The consult was in depth, and KC was very reasonable with my request. This firm is very well versed in dealing with multiple legal situations. They knew how to approach my situation with a tactful strategy to win my case. I highly recommend you call KC and his team for any of your legal needs. They are THE BEST!

Mr. Berent and his law firm have represented me and my business for approximately a decade. Over the years, he has handled a number of legal matters for me and has been successful in every single one. Mr. Berent is highly professional and fearless. I didn't appreciate just how special a lawyer Mr. Berent is until we won a hard fought trial in a complicated case. It was so clear that Mr. Berent was the better lawyer. He dissected witnesses and gave an amazing closing argument. The other side appealed, but Mr. Berent's superior writing skills on appeal preserved the trial victory. I encourage anyone facing a legal issue to contact Mr. Berent and the Berent Law Firm.

I have used Jason Berent in numerous legal cases, and we have prevailed in all but one (it was unwinnable)
Mr. Berent has the breadth of experience to handle different legal matters. One area he truly excels in is a TRO.

I've known Chris Milner for more than 20 years now. He was hired to represent me and a business of mine in connection with a grand jury investigation. It was a mess... lots of moving parts to the matter. Chris was not cheap... but, he was excellent. If you need a competent lawyer that understands both the State and Federal criminal process... whether it's for your business or individually... Christopher L. Milner is who you want representing you.

I used Curt Covington to represent me on a case where I had a Company out of Emory who built my Metal Building. This is the most Knowledgeable Attorney I have ever used for a construction legal case. Now like most people I could say I was shocked at my legal fees, BUT this man and firm was worth ten times what they charged me. They were well prepared, professional and got me a more than a fair settlement for this case. If you want results, you are calling a professional law firm that gets results. Would I use them again? Absolutely because they showed me, they walk the walk, not just talk the talk. They do many different kinds of cases, but if you're looking to sleep at night without stress you have arrived. Thank you, Curt, for all your professional support on winning this case and getting all my legal fees paid. May God continue to bless you, your family and all at this Lawyer firm. SC

Rachel was my family attorney many years ago, and she was beyond amazing then! I can only imagine what a powerhouse she is now. In court, she is without a doubt extraordinary, and you want her on YOUR side!!!!!
Looking back (while not under manipulation) if I could go back, I would have followed every instruction and she would have handled everything, I was afraid and settled in agreement (while she told me not to)! She guided me through every step and she was there for me, no matter the time of day or night! At the end of it all, she helped me in ways I could never pay back and if I could use her again, (unmanipulated), I would in a heartbeat!

We have had the joy of using Rachel on more than one occasion. Although the circumstances weren't preferable, she is a highly focused and smart attorney that is reasonable with her pricing. We are thrilled to be able to count on her practice in the rare time of need when we have a serious conflict. We thoroughly support her business!

Despite an incredibly easy and amicable divorce, Reimer managed to drag it out months longer than necessary. In fact, eventually my ex and I just hammered out an agreement ourselves, and had his lawyer forward it to my lawyer. I then had to harass him for a few weeks until he read it and presented it to me to sign. Tell me, what exactly were we paying him for? Oh yeah, apparently just to sit on his butt and collect retainer fees.

I would hire Troy Reimer and his law firm without a second’s hesitation, and I highly recommend hiring him for any family law matters that come up in your life.
I have served in the Army as a Paralegal for almost 20 years now. During that time, I have met quite a few lawyers, both full-time Army and reservists. I have learned a couple of things during that time. One, that just because someone has graduated law school and passed the bar does not necessarily mean they know what they’re doing.
When hiring a lawyer, you have to balance competence, price, and personality. If they or their staff does not know what they are doing, they are too expensive, or you cannot work with their personality, then you can take a bad situation and make it much worse.
When I had to hire a lawyer in Rockwall, I interviewed three different attorneys. Out of the three, I hired Troy Reimer because both he and his staff met the three largest criteria that I was looking for: competence, reasonable rates, and friendly personalities.
During the interview, I found Mr. Reimer to be optimistic but honest. There were outcomes that I was expecting that were not reasonable and he explained why asking for them would hurt our case. He was also the only one of the three that would give me an estimate of the total cost for the case.
My case had a few challenges. I was attempting to modify a divorce decree that was originally granted in Minnesota and subsequently moved to Maryland. It now had to be moved to Texas against the wishes of my ex-wife. Mr. Reimer handled that part of the case very efficiently.
Going into the next phase, the case was hindered by negotiations of matters outside the case. Talking these matters over with Mr. Reimer, he gave me the advice of putting my court case on hold so it would not adversely impact the other negotiations. I have met very few lawyers who advise their client to put a hold on a case because it causes the lawyer a delay in earning his hourly fees. I was quite impressed that Mr. Reimer would put my well-being above his personal financial gain.
Later, when my second wife and I split, we decided to hire one lawyer to handle the matter because we had come to an amicable agreement between the two of us on all the different matters. Since I had a legal background and I could have lawyers help me review the paperwork, it was agreed that my wife would hire the lawyer to protect her interests. I contacted Mr. Reimer, and he informed me that since my case was closed and this was a totally unrelated matter, it would not break any ethics laws for my ex-wife to hire him. Although it was legal, his advice was for her to hire someone else, so there would not even be the appearance of impropriety. Again, this placed ethical appearances above his financial gain.

Often times divorce is a hard concept to embrace. Working through the details can me overwhelming and emotional. I believe in family. I believe in marriage. As I sat across from Troy Reimer I remember asking myself "How in the world did I get here?" One by one Troy answered my questions, pointed me in the right direction, and helped me problem solve through the logistics of the process with confidence and ease. As the court day approached, I worked with Angela quite a bit. I found her to be professional, helpful, and practical. My divorce was complete in two months. On my court date, I found Troy and his legal staff to be efficient and knowledgeable. I felt they represented my best interest and created language in parts of the divorce decree that were unique to my situation. Even after the divorce was finalized I have contacted them for clarification and advice. They were professional and helpful. I would recommend Troy Reimer to my friends and family without hesitation.

Iam a real estate professional and property owner based in DFW. Attorney Grob recently successfully represented me in a lawsuit brought on by a disgruntled tenant we had evicted. From the first day we met, he was the perfect picture of calm in a very stressful matter for our organization. Heath and his staff were amazing and you get a personal touch as it’s not a huge law firm where you are just a number. He did everything he said he would do at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend him and have floated his name to my investor associates.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional representation provided by Pamela Miley in our recent custody case. Her dedication, professionalism, and unwavering focus on our children's best interests were instrumental in achieving a positive outcome.
Pamela Miley demonstrated a deep understanding of child development and family dynamics. She was able to effectively communicate with our children, ensuring their voices were heard and their needs were met. Her thorough investigation and analysis of the situation provided invaluable insights to the court.
Her compassion and empathy were evident throughout the process. She was always available to answer our questions, address our concerns, and offer guidance. Her ability to remain impartial while advocating for our children's well-being was truly impressive.
Thanks to Pamela Miley's tireless efforts, we were able to secure a custody arrangement that is in the best interests of our children. Her advocacy has had a profound positive impact on our family's lives.
I wholeheartedly recommend Pamela Miley to anyone seeking legal representation in a custody case. Her expertise, dedication, and compassion make her a truly exceptional attorney.

Ms. Miley was assigned to our case in Rockwall County by a judge who recommended her. She spent countless hours on our case, worked with any professional involved in my girl's lives, and took every opportunity to listen to my children's testimony regarding the challenges they face. She even took my girl's phone calls after-hours and on the weekends when a crisis would arise. She fought hard for my girls in court, advocating for their needs every step of the way, and helped them to achieve a more favorable situation. I know my girls, and I, are so grateful for her representing them in a very unfortunate and tough chapter.

First, in the consultation he will tell you he does not charge for phone or email conversations about the case, but when you get the bill the chargers were all there. We spoke about things in the consultation that he said he would do and were possible. Then once he was hired and he did not do them and they were suddenly not a good idea. Sometimes he took days and multiple calls to return a call or email. His office told me the wrong time to show up for court! It took me pushing and pushing him to get things done. His office filed the paperwork wrong with the court and delayed me getting my child support. I had to call to find out what the problem was and when I told him and his staff about it, they insisted what the court clerk had told me was wrong!! Then once everything is said and done, if you have a question about the paperwork he prepared (because he absolutely will not explain it well), he will not answer questions and will tell you he is too busy! I’ve dealt with a few lawyers previously and have never believed in the lawyer “rat” stereotype until I dealt with Michael. All around a horrible experience.

Everyone in this firm should be tested again to ensure they know the law. They will get defeated by a divorce for dummies handbook if the other side pulls out a reimbursement claim or a random 100K sadness fee (not making this up, they didn't know how to defend random fees the other side was putting in). They will take you to slaughter, charge you tens of thousands of dollars for work they didn't do and preparation they didn't do, and end up with literally the clothes on your back in the end. This firm has many complete losses on their record, in a community property and equitable outcome state they are okay with 99%/1% rather than 50/50 if they don't like you. Imagine paying a lawyer for a 99/1 outcome - they should close down this sham of an office so more Texans don't get hurt by their incompetence. This is a team of paper pushers who pay for online reviews and fake magazine articles to boost their scam, better hope you don't have a contested divorce or you are doomed.

My family recently was facing a huge challenge to keep our family together. Kim Timpa was a life saver in helping my family overcome a huge obstacle. The reviews I am reading could not be further from the truth given our recent experience. Our family is definitely a family on a budget and we were very concerned with being able to find competent representation in our legal challenge. Without the help of Kim Timpa at what was a very reasonable rate I have no doubt our family would have been separated. Keep in my mind our case was outside of her Rockwall roots and she still kicked a** Kim always took our calls and returned any messages promptly. In fact when it comes to having an investment in a case I can not recall having a more caring and knowledgeable attorney. Do not let the bitter reviews deter you from considering Kim Timpa for representation. It could cost you much more than money.

A good attorney will respect your time and money, Jack does neither. He purposely encouraged discord and promoted drama, stoking the flames speaking to the opposing party on our dime. He ate up our fees with nonsense instead of filing the orders necessary to protect our estate. Jack ignored calls to take action, forgetting to file motions or waiting until the next billing cycle. He had a habit of not receiving court documents only to find out later they had been. There is NO WAY an attorney doesn't receive information that has been filed by the courts due to the checks and balances put in place. Jack entertained the opposing party where he should have been focusing on our needs. He failed to cross exam the opposing party that would have clearly proven our case of how incompetent the opposing team was. Due to his lack of attention, lack of ability to fight for us, and his inability to stand up in court to make a strong presence we were totally railroaded. Just look at his other reviews and you will see this is an issue with this attorney. Attorney's make money by how much time they spending on a case and this attorney lined his pockets with all talk and no action. Avoid this attorney at all cost.

We hired Jack for a custody case, we ended up spending $4500 and he did NOTHING. We let him withdraw as our lawyer and found someone else. Jack seems to get easily irritated when you ask any questions, he is NOT informed or up to date on things, he told us standard visitation was 45 days and we found out it is actually 42. He messed up on our discovery responses, and at one point in an email to the courts and opposing parties lawyer had the child’s name wrong. He was very back and forth on things and not very helpful. All he cared about was when he was getting more money, he didn’t actually give a care about his client or the situation and did not fight at all for anything.

The absolute worst lawyer. He does not operate with integrity. He doesn't represent the client's best interests. He is a liar and a cheat. Linda and Rachel are full of sh!t also. Do not hire this a$$hole unless you want to pay for two lawyers. One lawyer (Cameron) to sit on his fat a$$ and collect money, the other lawyer to actually represent you. I highly recommend that you hire a competent attorney that has a real set of skills.

Walked into her office and less then a week (6 DAYS, $833 PER DAY) the job was done. I had everything needed (POLICE REPORTS, PREVIOUS RECORDS, ETC.) to get supervised visitation set up for my daughter. My daughter's father did not fight the case and he signed the paperwork. THERE WAS NO COURT AND NO FIGHT - they charged me $5,000 (single mom, and they knew that I was not receiving child support) - UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Will not use this firm ever again and would not recommend anyone to their service!!!!!

A greedy person who knows enough to call herself a lawyer. Every brief communication will cost you, nothing is free with her because she is in it for herself. And don't expect her to be expedient...she isn't worried about your timeline, it will get done when she gets around to it and that will cost you more as well. My divorce was cut and dry, totally agreed upon between my spouse and myself...it took 7 weeks longer than it should have because she wouldn't accept our terms and kept trying to change them to what she wanted. There were weeks at a time when we waited for documents to be produced...and instead of asking for documents from us in the beginning she waited until the last moment to tell us what she needed from us. Very unprofessional, and very unorganized. At $250 an hour I suggest you look elsewhere.
