I recently worked with Farah for my divorce, and I couldn't be more grateful for her support. She was incredibly helpful, handling everything with professionalism and care.

Farah was the second attorney that I hired to help me with my divorce that involved a spouse out of state. She was definitely worth making the change! While going through a divorce is difficult, I found working with her to be a truly good experience. She kept things on track, included me in the decisions, and consistently sent statements showing how her time was being spent. I found her transparency and communication to be invaluable! She helped me to achieve the results I wanted. I highly recommend Farah Ahmed.

Farah Ahmed is a very capable and efficient lawyer. I chose Ms. Ahmed to handle my divorce because her firm was highly recommended by a friend of mine. During my first consultation she asked a lot of questions about my situation. She mentioned a few problem areas that she would have to look into, but, at the end, she gave me a good overview of how the case would proceed and how it would end up. Her overview ended up being quite accurate. Ms. Ahmed is very thorough and organized. She stayed on top of the case throughout, making sure that the necessary documents were supplied by both sides. She does not mess around and gets straight to the point. You shouldn’t expect a lot of chit-chat from her. Nevertheless, she is very pleasant and easy to get along with. She was able to foresee multiple pitfalls and roadblocks and was able to get around them. Ultimately, she got me to a good resolution. I don’t think that I could have hoped for better.

Mr. Casey was extremely helpful with our child custody case. I never imagined that I would get the results that I did as a father. We were in great hands from beginning to end and I don't believe that we were just another case. He truly cares for my children and their well-being. Mr. Casey makes you feel like you're working with a friend, not a lawyer. I couldn't have had a better experience

He is an honest Godly family man. He is non judgmental. He goes above and beyond to advocate for his clients. We are truly blessed to have him as our Attorney. We would highly reccomend him for any legal issues you may have. He is sincere and caring as well. On a scale of 1-10, he is definitely 20+!

I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Casey and utilizing his services during one of the roughest periods of my life. Mr. Casey has represented me during a rather emotionally turbulent divorce proceeding. He has always demonstrated the qualities of integrity, skill, and professionalism beyond reproach. He is a man of intelligence who is skilled in his craft as a litigator. I happened to have one of those "he said, she said" sort of scenarios with rather significant allegations. Mr. Casey was not phased by the task at hand. He was the best champion for my case I could ever ask for. His attention to detail was impeccable, and was able to illustrate for the court the inconsistencies in the testimonies of opposing counsel's witnesses. Mr. Casey has two rules: be kind and polite to his office staff, and be honest and forthcoming with information. He will not judge you. He WILL be your advocate. However you must realize he cannot effectively do what he needs to do without honesty from you as a client. He cannot know to much about your case. Even those parts which you might be ashamed of or embarrassed by. Mr. Casey has been a champion for my cause, a confidant, and a source of stability for me when my life was chaotic. He has held my hand as I wept both tears of joy and frustration. He has helped to not only improve my legal situation, but helped nourish my soul as well. He gave me one of the greatest gifts I have ever received; he reunited me with my children.

Jeremiah Williams is amazing! I cannot say enough great things about Mr. Williams. He was extremely knowledgable, professional and communicated effectively throughout my whole ordeal. This was the first time I’ve ever gotten in any trouble due to poor judgment on my part. He was upfront from the beginning and reassured me that he would get it taken care of and he did just that. He was quick to get started on my case and was able to get my case dismissed and then expunged from my record! I was never more relieved to hear those words. Mr. Williams is an exceptional lawyer and would highly recommend him!

I had already been around the block with divorce attorneys. Had been overtly frustrated by watching months pass and nothing getting accomplished, but wracking up large hourly bills. I let my current attorneys go and found out about Brita threw a friend. She offered a set rate to me with 6 months of unlimited serve and a solid game plan to get my divorce completed. And WOW! I'd barely had her for a week and things were getting accomplished! She's a hardball, go getter, no messing around! I was so overtly thrilled that my year long divorce came to a swift close with her at the helm. I could finally move on with my life! Love Brita and would highly recommend her.

I had a toxic custody battle with my daughter's father that I started doing on my own. I was scared, overwhelmed, and completely confused about what the next legal steps were or even what my options were. The minute I hired Brita, it was like a huge cloud was lifted. She was empathetic of my situation and genuinely cared about my case. She was TOUGH. She didn't take any guff from the father or his attempted "shenanigans." She saw right through him from the beginning which in turn, helped give me the strength to stand up to him. She explained everything step-by-step so I could understand and the reasons WHY we were doing them. She was honest and straightforward answering all the questions I had. There were a few times where I was nervous about how the case would end up, if things didn't go as planned, but Brita was always confident and calm and reassured me that things would go my way - and she was always right! She was my protector, and more importantly, my daughter's protector. I trusted her, felt safe with her and not once did she let me or my daughter down. She made us her priority and it showed in her communications with me and in the court room. I will be forever grateful for the fight she fought for me and my daughter. I'm thankful to say, with Brita's help, my story had a happy ending.

I was overwhelmed with all the paperwork and questions when it came time to file for my divorce. After reviewing family law attorneys and reading reviews, I decided on Ms. Long. It was the best decision I've made. Ms. Long is on top of her game. She responded to all my calls and emails within a timely manner. Sometimes you hear about having to wait for calls for days from your attorney (or never calling in some cases). This was not the case with Ms. Long or her legal assistant. She thoroughly explained the process every step of the way. She reassured me when I was unsure. As a stay at home mom of two, now having to go back into the work force at some point, because of Ms. Long, I was awarded a very fair and equitable deal. Ms. Long had a lot of back and forth communication with the ex -spouses attorney, but in the end, I came out on top and was more than pleased with the outcome. She truly had my best interests at heart. One other thing, she gave me her personal cell phone number in case I needed it. I think I called it one time. What attorney gives you their personal cell phone number? I highly recommend this attorney. If I was not pleased with her services, this site would have that review. One thing I would also like to mention. My children are both currently in Jr. High School. I would have never thought to get 'post secondary education' verbiage in my divorce documents. My husband will be responsible for helping with their college education in the future. I never even thought of this (taking it day by day!) Thank you Ms. Long and staff.

If there is a 6-star rating, I definitely would like to give that to Lisa and her firm, they deserve the highest rating! I can't express how grateful to have Lisa Richardson as my lawyer, what I appreciate the most, is that Lisa always let me know what is a realistic view of the possibilities and outcomes ( though sometimes it was hard for me to accept at the beginning, but it turns out, things go down that route anyway ). Lisa never sugarcoats anything and her team takes crispy actions to help me fight through this ugly divorce case. Some people are fortunate enough that they never encounter divorce as a chapter of their life, but unfortunately, I had to experience this tough journey. I truly appreciate Lisa and her team for helping me to get the facts, go through all of this with an acceptable outcome. For sure I will reach out to Lisa and her team for any legal assistance in the future.

Sunday is hands down one of the best lawyer I had the privileged of defending me. She was very open with her communication and knowledgable in the criminal defense space. I spoke with many lawyers and after speaking with Sunday, she was the clear choice. All the other lawyers were money hungry and didn't seem to care as much as Sunday did. Sunday walked me through the whole process and helped get my case dismissed all together. Hopefully, I would not be in another position to require a lawyer but if I were, there's no one else I would even consider.

For many years, I have been struggling with the mistaken identity of a criminal with the same name and birthdate as me, who was somehow linked to my persona because of a mistake made by the officer who filled out the report. This issue was causing a lot of problems; it even caused me an arrest at the airport. After years of unsuccessfully seeking a lawyer that might represent me, I came across James A. Drummond, who handled my case and knew exactly how to proceed. The effort and time spent going above and beyond to help me with my case is priceless. I had this problem of mistaken identity for over 8 years, but James was on top of it, and he was successful in only 5 months. James was always there, whether I had a simple question or just wanted him to give me feedback about my case. I just want to state that if you need a lawyer, definitely do not hesitate to give him a call. James will do everything in his power to make it right and get the job done. I would absolutely highly recommend James to anyone. My wife and I will always be grateful. Thank you so much for all your help, James!

She is an extremely talented attorney, I was blessed to have found her and her firm. My court case is still ongoing but our first day in court she kept opposing counsel on his back foot. So much so that after constantly being objected to and having every one be sustained when the time came one was not he carried on as of it was. Truly amazing! She is well prepared in court, she came with everything needed digitally and hard copies in case the judge wanted paper in hand or there happened to be some technical hiccup. She concentrated on what was important to the case now and what could wait for later. So far I've been able to get what I've asked for and managed to keep custody of my 4 children, which were most important to me. She truly is a wolf among sheep, if you need a family law attorney 5 stars does not do Sudeepta Singla justice.

She was there for me even at hours I didn’t think she would be, as I was an emotional wreck. Emails, call backs were always the same day. A genuinely, kind soul. She always knew what to look for and what to expect, and in my case she was never wrong. In my family case, her focus was on what was best for the child and never gave up on me or the case. I’ve come across a few attorneys in my past and I can honestly say this was the best experience I have had. Thank you again Singla Lawfirm!

James Parker is the main individual responsible for my victory in my small claims case. Although he advised me to represent myself based on the amount I was seeking, he devoted time to preparing me to do so knowing he had nothing to gain in return. I was a nervous wreck and was having difficulty sleeping due to the stress of trying to navigate the intricacies of my case, school, and work. James reduced my anxiety by encouraging me to pursue my case although the defendant had obtained a lawyer, directing me to the correct legal codes to make my case, and helping me understand what was expected of me as a pro se litigant. I went into the courtroom equipped with the knowledge he shared with me and was able to participate in jury selection, make my opening statements, testify, successfully object to a question, cross examine, and close. James did not stop there. He took the initiative to follow up on my case and gave me a call to congratulate me on my victory. You may think that any lawyer could have helped me do all of this, but I’m a firm believer in the notion that you can judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. For that reason, I wouldn’t want just any lawyer to help me I would want to work with James.

I was referred to Blayre’s practice by an attorney that I know and trust. He described her as “great” and “solid”. That’s high praise from an experienced partner at a different firm. I was immediately impressed when I called and spoke with a paralegal who took down the basics of my case to refer to the legal team. He was patient and caring, and he didn’t brush me off because I needed a consultation within 24 hours or because this would be a small matter per their usual case size. He called back in a couple hours and let me know that they weren’t able to help me in such a short timeframe, which I totally understood. The thing that caused me to write this review is that he went above and beyond what any other attorney or firm has done—he emailed me a few referrals as well as links to free legal advice and other resources! This shows me that this practice cares about helping people even if they’re not profiting from it. I will definitely call Blayre Peña in the future if God-forbid I’m up against another legal hurdle.

I recently entered the US on a family based petition and it was a lengthy, stressful and at times very uncertain process. Whitney was the 3rd lawyer we approached and only then did we get real representation. Personalised attention to detail is what you need in any immigration proceeding and we knew straight away Whitney had our backs. Consistent communication from Whitney really put me at ease and it assured me that all the intricate details of the process were dealt with which finally lead to my immigrant visa being approved. After my case was signed off her firm even refunded me as there was a positive balance on my account of which I had no idea. To me that means integrity and so I highly recommend her and her firm for legal representation. Eric

Compassionate, dedicated, and loyal describe attorney at law, Matthew Paul McChesney. He is an individual with supreme integrity. Integrity which describes the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. Matthew exudes these characters of honesty, probity, rectitude, and honor. He exhibits great character, principle(s), ethics, righteousness, morality, virtue, decency, fairness, scrupulousness, sincerity, truthfulness, and most important trustworthiness. Qualities one desires when seeking legal advice and representation in a court of law. I was extremely fortunate to be referred to Matthew McChensney during a horrific and unfortunate situation in my life. Not only did Matthew advise, orchestrate, research and prove in court the findings in my favor, he had the skills to diffuse my emotional distress in a courteous and professional manner. This was no easy task. I was losing my life, my dream ranch, my horses, my barn, my property, my friends and a significant financial investment... All due to my stupidity of not being informed of the importance of making sure loans and deeds had my name on the papers of which I had invested. I trusted my life partner of whom I was with 25 years... only to be mistreated, lied to, and verbally and emotionally abused. Thankfully due to Matthew's extensive legal work and my exceptional record keeping, Matthew was able to prove in court equitable trust... Justice was served.. my beautiful home and ranch was rightfully returned to me. Namasta. I highly recommend Matthew Paul McChesney to represent all people of the great state of Texas.

I interviewed over twenty attorneys before selecting Mr. McChesney. His vocal artillery is lethal in the courtroom. To behold my ex caught in a lie and unable to speak on the witness stand was priceless. I have never seen my ex speechless and Matt accomplished that feat like stealth tiger stalking his prey unnoticed; until the pounce and quick death bite. The classic line from Matt when my ex couldn't talk and was staring off into space was, "Your Honor, witness unresponsive"! The judge even cracked a smile and it took everything I had to keep from rolling on the floor and laughing hysterically. Matt is so unassuming and likable while questioning the opposition has no idea the brutal take down is coming. Literally, my ex was in shock and could not speak. Do not let Mr. McChesney's young age and appearance fool you, he is the most capable litigator I have ever seen! This kid is going to be a legal star. Highly recommended , ethical, incredible legal knowledge, and losing is not in his vocabulary.

Mr. Dean represented me in a matter related to a very painful part of my life as my marriage of 12 years fell apart. He did so with such integrity that it inspired me to let go of a great deal of the anger I felt at my ex-wife's betrayal. I am very grateful that he made me see beyond the acrimony and focus on the truly important things in life.

Marty took my daughters case when no one else would. Fought it all the way to the full 5th circuit. Along the way he was consistently: 1. attentive and sensitive to the legal needs of the case, including all deadlines, court timelines, and our own numerous requests to understand what was going on and why it matters 2. detailed and correct in all legal filings; something that matters a lot when you go on appeal and you may not realize how important it is 3. upfront and honest about expenses to litigate, and our chances of winning a case when the law favors schools so heavily (they can basically do whatever they want to your kid and have few legal consequences) In the end, AISD misled the court (some might say they lied) and got the case dismissed due to the structural problems in our legal system related to protecting kids from predators and school officials being protected by law when they hurt kids. However, Marty fought for our daughter when no one else would, including her school district. Our experience was eye-opening about how the courts protect school administrators and predators. When all was said and done, I showed our court briefings to a friend who is a former deputy Solicitor General of the United States and after looking at Marty's work told me that it was some of the best he'd seen for a hopeless case like ours. Bottom line, if your kid is harassed at school and they don't care, Marty will care. The law and courts may be stacked against you because of our screwed up system. You may not win, but AISD knows he's a pit bull for your kids, and he'll do everything possible to make them pay attention and solve the problem. Marty is the lawyer you need.

Where to start? Jay and I have been “roughing the seas” for two years with a difficult divorce. My experience with Jay has been nothing but great. The man knows the law and leaves nothing to chance. He’s a very patient but assertive in his doings. Never has he left me wondering about the status on the divorce and his communication is excellent. If he gives you the opportunity to retain him as your attorney, do it. Today solidified my divorce and my results were nothing but ideal.

Mr. Willett gained a quick understanding of my situation and offered straight forward and honest advice before I asked him to take my case. He was genuine when expressing concern for my best interest and not in racking up the billables. After reviewing the contracts and documents provided to him he quickly expressed masterful understanding and recommended a course of action which he led. It was a huge relief to transfer the weight of my dispute off my shoulders an into Mr. Willetts capable hands. I am proud to have him represent myself and my company and would highly recommend him to others who are seeking legal advice for their business.

I was referred to Blayre’s practice by an attorney that I know and trust. He described her as “great” and “solid”. That’s high praise from an experienced partner at a different firm. I was immediately impressed when I called and spoke with a paralegal who took down the basics of my case to refer to the legal team. He was patient and caring, and he didn’t brush me off because I needed a consultation within 24 hours or because this would be a small matter per their usual case size. He called back in a couple hours and let me know that they weren’t able to help me in such a short timeframe, which I totally understood. The thing that caused me to write this review is that he went above and beyond what any other attorney or firm has done—he emailed me a few referrals as well as links to free legal advice and other resources! This shows me that this practice cares about helping people even if they’re not profiting from it. I will definitely call Blayre Peña in the future if God-forbid I’m up against another legal hurdle.

Chris Schulz is an incredibly knowledgeable, hard-working and smart attorney. As a journalist and journalist educator for more than 30 years, I had occasion over the years to work with some of the very best media and open records lawyers in the Texas. And Chris is as knowledgable and savvy as any I've had the pleasure to work with. A former Texas assistant attorney general in the open records division, Christ knows the ever-changing, constantly being re-interpretted Texas Public Information Act like the back os his hand. I was very lucky to have Chris represent me in negotiations with the Texas A & M System General Counsel's office in a dispute over how to teach students to use the Texas Public Information Act. One of the things I liked most about Chris is that he is a good listener -- he understood my situation completely and applied his knowledge and negotiating skills to what I believe will be a good resolution to a thorny legal, academic and journalism problem. I highly recommend him.

    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.

    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.

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.

      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.

      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.
