Wasted a year and 6 grand plus dad's 2300 through another law firm they got help from. And had a issue with a house, ex wasn't paying and ruined my credit and they took almost a year to reword the decree for equity and when I stepped forward to share my thoughts with judge. He said we'd be back and 2 days later, they finished what they were doing. SMH. And still house is under my name ruining my credit. And they had so many things in decree to go with that wasn't being done by EX

Atty Izzo and his staff is amazing. I started filing for divorce in 2018 and was officially divorced on June 16, 2021. When I first met with Atty Izzo I already knew by the first introduction that he was going to change my life. Communication was easy. Patience is key which I have a lot of. I just had a piece of mind because it was easy to get a hold of them for an update and Dahlia was amazing with keeping me posted. I still have to stop by the office to show them my appreciation in person and give a picture of my son and I which I plan on doing so soon! I'll forever be grateful!

These guys are the REAL DEAL!!!!
Dan is one hell of an attorney! He got my husband the best deal ever for our son. We get to finally be a family —enjoy holidays, full summers, & most importantly be there for all the growing moments together. ALSO, Dan, Meredith, & John pulled a rabbit out of their hat from 1K a month of child support to $200! That’s right, $200!!! That’s completely unheard of & legendary!!! Dan is the calmest, no matter what situation you’re in & in trial. John is amazing from intake to the end & extremely knowledgeable about everything. Meredith is amazing & fierce which was a perfect addition to our complex case. No matter how busy they get, they will ALWAYS get back to you instantly with a lot of information; they never waste anyone’s time. Dahlia is amazing & is on it from start to finish! If you need your attorneys she will keep you at ease & a great problem solver!
No matter how ugly & bumpy our journey was, these guys all stayed by our sides & did their job giving their 110% & I couldn’t be anymore grateful for each & every one of them. Dan & John are the man!!
Thank you Izzo & Associates for being the best & biggest blessing to our family!♥️
If I could give more stars I would! If you have second thoughts, don’t even think about it, or hurt no longer…just hire them!

Linda Cechura is an awesome person and lawyer. She is very professional but still very much down to earth. Her communication skills are very good. She made sure I was advised of all of my options during my divorce case. Our mediation session was very long, over twelve hours. She remained sharp throughout the process. When it was over I was exhausted but felt very good with the outcome and her representation. If I ever need legal assistance again I will definitely reach out to her.

Linda was amazing in court. She helped the case settle for a much lower cost then originally proposed. She is an amazing representative in court and maintained communication with me during the whole case advising me what my better options were. I highly recommend her and I will definetly be using her for the future

Hired Linda to help with a child support case. She ended up being an amazing representative in court and was able to settle the case for a big difference compared to what was originally presented. I will definetly use her in the future for this case if needed. She made her client comfortable and made sure he knew what was going to happen along with making sure he was ok with the decisions. She explained the different options in depth and showed him why certain options were beneficial. Linda is a good choice if you need a good family law attorney. Thank you again for your amazing job

I typically don’t type reviews however, as a Family Lawyer you would have thought Nadia Stewart would care more or even showed interest in helping. Nadia did none the sort, as a matter of fact, she was quite rude when I called to obtain assistance. I am an ARAG member who was provided Nadia’s name as a Lawyer- she seems very knowledgeable and I was excited to reach out her. Once she answered that phone my first impression and excitement went down the drain. Not quite sure the reason why she was being so rude or if she was having a bad day- absolutely no excuse; Nadia wouldn’t let me get a word out edge wise. Long story short, she wasn’t interested in hearing what I needed for a petition my daughter received. I made her aware of the situation at hand and she stated “first of all I charge a $4k retainer fee/$200+ an hour fee and in my past experience ARAG family members cannot be represented”. She didn’t even look at what my ARAG membership consisted of and showed absolutely no interest in wanting to represent my daughter. Regardless of an ARAG member or not show some dignity when someone is willing to pay the money for a lawyer. End result she wasn’t hired and doesn’t even deserve 1 star.

I had seen Nadia work in several different legal cases and had admired her legal knowledge and abilities. I've seen her fight tirelessly for other clients to a successful outcome. I would be in awe of how humble she was after she had beaten much larger groups in court. Anyone in her position should have been screaming to the world about how awesome they were. Nadia would just act like what she just pulled off was an everyday event.
So when it came time for me to find a lawyer, Nadia was the first person I called. Divorce is never easy, even if it's a mutual, amicable divorce. It was at this moment I learned that not only did Nadia have a great legal mind, but she was extremely compassionate to her clients. She's able to fight for what was right, while also showing how much she truly cared. I honestly don't think I could have made it through this difficult time without her guidance. Thanks Nadia.

Nadia Stewart was my counsel when I was accused of a crime. She had no advice for me, and told me not to press the issue or I'd probably be arrested. She asked absolutely NOTHING about my case from me, and totally supported the opposition, costing me my career, even though the investigators/prosecution could NOT have the evidence they hinted at having because it did not/could not exist. Not once did she speak on my behalf, listen to what I had to say, and did not believe me. To add insult to injury, she actually spoke out on BEHALF of the other side during a disciplinary hearing when I was terminated. She told my supervisor (who terminated me) she appreciated meeting with him and looked forward to seeing the supervisor in the future and that she was pleased with the new disciplinary policy. I thought an attorney was paid to fight for you, but I guess I just wasn't able to afford REAL representation that would speak up for me rather than just treading water, collecting a paycheck, and kissing up to the opposition instead of backing her client. Before she was assigned to my case, I had another attorney assigned to it, and within 12 hours, he did more work than she ever did in three months.
She will make grand promises, "I know that investigator, she'll tell me what the details are." "They have had the case for five months so far and didn't do anything, this will probably just go away.", all her professional "insight" and inside information won't help you, because she is (or was) just busy making friends at the cost of her clients. She is useless.
Useless!!!

Jennifer Smart worked very hard on a old case of mine this year. She did a wonderful job to get my bond reduced. She was very patient with me and helped me get my case dismissed.
I thank Jennifer for being clear with the things I needed to do, and how things were going to play out. I would recommend her to anybody who needs help and needs an Attorney.

As a single young mother I feel absolutely infuriating how this woman was unprofessional. I paid her upfront hoping that she would help. Come to find out years later that she never fully submitted my paperwork and did not show up to court in my behalf as she said she would I paid over 1300 for absolutely nothing!!!!!! The court dismissed my case and I had no clue of this at all. Here I was thinking all was fixed and done . I never got s copy of the signed orders and getting a hold of her was a pain!

She takes care of you like family. Matters come first money comes later. I love her. She came to my rescue without even meeting me nor payment made. Couple of days after the storm blew over is Wen I actually went to the bank and pulled out Money for the retainer fee that she should’ve had upfront.

She has been my attorney for 4 months now. She is brilliant and you cannot ask for a better person to represent you. As a client you must have realistic expectations of any attorney. She goes above and beyond and she will go out of her way to make sure you feel represented. She bills fairly and will tell you upfront about all expenses.

At the VERY least, he did absolutely nothing, jeopardized the entire case, and stole $3500 from a military member. This is doesn't come close to encompassing all of the other things he did and didn't do.

I highly suggest that you look elswhere. This attourney Robert P Hoffman is disgracefull. He botched my case completely. Luckily it was only temporary orders that he was involved in and I was able to reverse most of the damage in the final hearing. That's right, myself with no atourney. After paying him I was not able to afford another atourney however I was still able to go in and with no legal training undo most of the mess that this atourney caused. Further more I believe he is physically incapable of even writing his own name due to either a stroke or some other brain injury. I didn't realze this until that last minbutes we were in court and he asked ME TO TAKE NOTES FOR HIM. You are better off flushing your money down the toilet then hiring this man to help you.

I was very unhappy with the representation I received from Ms Hernandez during my divorce in May of 2020, she gave me very little guidance and no explanation, she allowed my ex-wife's attorney to bully her, causing me to submit a lot of unnecessary paperwork. When I reached out to her to express my discontent she simply never responded I guess because she got her money already.... If you're looking for someone to just show up, she's your gal.

Rachel Hernandez is an amazing and very professional lawyer. I can’t recommend anyone better if you need family law help!
She helped me find success with my divorce. She fought hard for my rights, was very understanding of my military background, and never lost sight of what I felt was ultimately important to me (my son). She is very knowledgeable of the legal system and Texas divorce/family law. She’s excellent in the court room, and can hold her own in any negotiations or case arguments. Rachel will defiantly out do any other attorney(s) in shear will to ensure her clients get what they want, need, and is fair. I was referred to her by a very dependable attorney and a retired judge to represent me in Travis County for a military divorce proceeding, and at first meeting I was very impressed and very hopeful after talking to her.
During the whole of the case, I found that she was very keen and well prepared against my spouse's very high priced attorney(s), and ultimately got me more time with my son, a more-than-fair portion of the divorce settlement, did not waist my money, was always their when I needed to contact her, and gave me the ultimate peace of mind. That is why any time someone needs an attorney in Austin, Round Rock, Williamson and Travis Counties, I recommend they start by contacting Rachel Hernandez first.

The person that wrote if you want to accept a plea he's the Lawyer was absolutley correct. My husband accepted a plea received jail time and almost paid about 10,000.00 for his services. He lacks in communication skills, fails to return phone calls and does not keep you updated on status of case. You actually have to call him over and over again. Seemed very unconcerned with the outcome of case. One thing he did not forget and that was to ask for money. Things that were said at the hearing was irrelevant to case but he allowed it and did not object to anything. I suggest if you are not holding a bag of money or highly educated do not use this Lawyer. This lawyer was recommended to me and I failed my husband.

do not hire this attorney, save yourself money and use court appointed attorney with out the added expense. You will get the same results. He will string you along until day of trial, then throw you a plea deal for $10k

I don't like to start things out this way but I don't have enough negative things to say about someone that should be in a professional role and trying to take care of people issues. I'm in the military and was summoned to court, I gave Kevin 3 weeks notice that I wouldn't be able to attend, a day before the court date he decided to act on my information, charges me for $442 to cancel the appearance and to call the other sides lawyer, he's a scam artist. 2k retainer and he's done nothing for me. Be careful and protect yourself, He'll pitch a nice introduction to you but you'll get the worst service and be taken advantage of. He's a con artist that won't return emails nor phone calls. His assistant returns emails after a week or so that are so vague a child could have done so. He doesn't remember specifics about cases and doesn't even seem to check his emails since he always has to refer back to them when asked "did you receive this form or that". This is my first experience with a lawyer and I dread doing so again, I fired Kevin after settling the matter myself with my ex via a one on one discussion, do not give this man your hard earned money.

I hired Mr. Henderson to handle the modification of my divorce which my ex husband filed. It was the first attorney I have ever had to hire. I fell into his sales pitch of all the steps we would take to ensure my ex husband would not screw me over. He made ONE court appearance. During the consultation he promised all these things we would do during that court appearance. Then the day came. He showed up late, and advised me to give my ex husband everything. I sent numerous emails and phone calls the following day to express my upset. I put in writing what I expected of a lawyer and requested that he either work with me or let me know he can not so I may hire someone else. One month he was my lawyer. That is it. One month. He made no court filings, no copies, no mediation was done or scheduled, nothing. When I finally had enough of the lack of communication on my case and realized how much my daughter was suffering by being caught in the mess I demanded to know the remainder of my $5000 retainer. Less than 2 grand is what they claimed I had left. 3500 was spent on what exactly? I cant even afford to hire another attorney now.

Gerald was great when we had a job for him that was US$3000. But when the next job was just under US$300 he vanished into thin air and did not respond to all emails and calls. He left us completely in the cold and late for annual tax submissions. So lacking in integrity! Anyone should think twice about using him!

If you’re reading this and thinking about hiring this guy, don’t! If you’ve been appointed this guy, you’re screwed. You can tell he’s had a troubled past relationship with clients when you can’t leave him a google review because his google reviews is non existent. Smart move to not have a public forum when you’re a horrendous attorney.

I hired Anne to help me with my divorce. At the initial consult (which initially was free), she seemed very knowledgeable and experienced. But then when the first bill came out, she decided to charge me for the initial consult and charged hours of work to look up things she said she already knew how to do… She was not very communicative or personable. We ultimately decided not to go through with the divorce and after I told her the news, I never heard another word from her… No “thanks for the update” or “good luck”. Not a peep…
