She will exhaust every avenue available to take care of them. And when necessary, she will tenaciously & persistently fight for their needs & rights.

I am sponcering and supporting an immigrant to obtain US Residency documents. Attorney Melanie Lira has been assisting with our immigration proceedings for approximately 1 year. During this past year, Attorney Lira has personally represented us in 3 Court hearings. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional as she speaks before the bench. During the course of representing us she has always been very informative with me, going over every detail of our case. She always treats me as an equal when explaining the process of our case. Attorney Lira is always willing and able to answer all of my questions pertaining to our case. Attorney Lira has an outstanding pleasant and friendly personality and always makes us feel at ease and confident in her abilities to handle our case.

Just obtained my TN Visa as a Management Consultant, and I could not be any happier! It's all thanks to Matt Myers. Right from our first meeting, I knew I was in good hands. He understood my situation, and provided me with some much needed perspective. Even as things got unpredictable with the pandemic and the border situation going on, Matt was able to guide me through with the utmost professionalism and care. As busy as he was, he always somehow made himself readily available to answer questions whenever I had them. Could not recommend Matt enough, would've been completely lost without his guidance!

Mr Wake was my divorce attorney. I really liked his professionalism. Great personality!

I had an attorney who kept trying to get me to agree to joint custody when I kept my daughter the majority of the time. A friend recommended Mr. Wake and said he did a great job with her divorce. Mr. Wake agreed with me that I should not have to agree to him paying no child support and getting my daughter half the time. Mr. Wake also told me that his lawyer was going to try to intimidate me with lots of discovery and other costly procedures once he came on board and let them know I wanted primary custody and my dead beat husband needed to pay child support. Well sure enough, we had to answer a bunch of dumb questions and produce a bunch of useless documents. Mr. Wake subpoenaed my ex's payroll records and set it for trial. He couldn't figure out why my old attorney hadn't ever set it for trial when it had been nearly 1 1/2 years since we filed. As Mr. Wake expected, when we showed up for trial, they suddenly were agreeing that I should have custody but still wanted to pay about half the child support with promises to pay for other things. Mr. Wake advised against it so we had a hearing on the support and attorney's fees. The judge gave me custody, $923.47 a month in child support (not the $450 they offered), $17,545.93 in child support arrears (that was for the 19 months he hadn't paid anything since he moved out) and a $4,500 judgment for Attorney's fees (although, Mr. Wake said I may never collect that but he recorded the judgment anyway). I was so worried about how I was going to barely get by when my prior attorney wanted me to agree top no child support. Thank goodness for my attorney, Kenneth L. Wake, Jr.
Highly recommended!

Mr. Levinson assisted with my divorce. Until it happens to you, you do not realize what an emotional and very hard process it is to go through a divorce. It's huge. David really made sure I knew what would happen next, timelines and deadlines and why certain procedures took place. He carefully walked me through every step of the process. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce. It is difficult, you need someone you can trust and someone you can depend on!

My son got into some trouble and was arrested. I did not know what to do. I called some Attorney's and was lucky enough to talk to David Cavazos. I was very surprised he answered his phone since it was about 10:00 at night. He was very nice he explained to me exactly what would happen. I was very scared since Mr Cavazos said it was a criminal case. Mr. Cavazos was very patient with me. He went to the court spoke to the Judge. The bond was paid. He was able to get my son off. I praise Mr Cavazos. He is a great Attorney.

Ricky Poole handled 3 cases for me. Two (2) cases involving employment issues and both were resolve beyond my satisfaction. Ricky is a very intelligent , knows his business, and most of all is very honest. He has been my attorney since 1993. The other case was a personal case and the results were also excellent.

In the beginning stages of forming our LLC we contacted Joe with no idea what we needed as far as contracts & company agreements. Joe was very informative, and gave us ideas of how to approach the formation of our LLC. He let us know in simple language easy for us to understand yet very thorough! We have an artistic business which is not the usual type of company, so Joe customized things to fit our needs. He was very prompt and detailed in his responses, and even if busy, got back with a time frame for his responses, which I find very professional ! Thank you for all your help Joe, we are very appreciative of your guidance in the formation of our new company!!

The Rosenblatt Law Firm has been an excellent resource for my businesses since 2012. We have relied upon them to help anticipate problems and protect our companies from future issues. I will continue to use them for years to come.

Mr. Rosenblatt is an excellent, thorough litigator. Patient, trustworthy, results driven, flexible and a great manager of time and resources. Extremely disciplined and respected in the entire legal community. Performs a very detail oriented investigation in to the factual components of a case to determine the pros & cons (and best course of action) to deploy regarding mediation, settlement and trial options.
Mr. Rosenblatt respects the clients time, position and resources. He guides his clients through the process with a clear focus on the desired remedy. He knows when to hold'em and when to fold'em. He does't over play his hand or give his client un-realistic confidence or expectations. He is an "old-school" attorney who respects the process, people and the system. As a result, he has earned the respect of his employees, clients, jurors, opposing attorneys and judges. Though he handled specific contractual issues for my enterprise, I have spent many hours with him and through diverse discussions, I have determined that he has an extraordinary grasp of all business legal disciplines. I've handled several hundred cases as a risk manager directing outside legal staff and would place Mr. Rosenblatt in the top five percent of attorneys I've hired on behalf of my employer. Finally, he is fair and reasonable in his fee structure. If you have any concerns on how his firm handles billing, Mr. Rosenblatt will personally address the issue so that you are in complete agreement as to how your billing is calculated. He won't dodge you or refer you to staff for billing reconciliation. Reasonable fees, hard work, excellent staff and resources, honest representation...... What more can you ask for when you need an attorney?

Blaine Holbrook was recommended to give an annual lecture to our surgery residents on contracts and legal issues a young surgeon should consider when starting out in practice. He has done so for the past 4 years and performed extermely well. The residents have uniformly given his lectures the highest possible rating. There is always good discussions and he answers their questions concisely and thoughtfully. His appearance and demeanor are very professional and he seems very honest.
Although I have never personally used him for any legal work, I would not hesitate to if needed, especially for medical malpractice defense or contract issues.

I was involved in a car accident and sought out an attorney. I found Victors office and was very impressed with how on the ball his staff were.

Slip and fell in a pretty known grocery store in San Antonio. Didn't think I had a case at all considering the fact that I fell in a store. I thought it was what it was. I had a pretty bad injury from the fall and some one recommended I get legal help. I found Victor on Facebook and reached out to them. Victors team were able to let me know my options and help me with getting my medical bills taken care of. If it wasn't for him I would be stuck with a 1200 dollar bill to Southwest General.

Don Crook is an excellent lawyer who cares about his clients. He did a great job on my case and fought to get me a very good settlement. I'm hoping I never have to go through anything like that again but if I had to I'd want Don on my side.

Our visit with Ms. Edelman was a pleasant experience. We required an update to our current estate plan which became obsolete due to a change in family dynamics and evolving thinking over the past 12 years.

We would highly recommend her!

Mr. Sweeney has handled multiple matters for my company. He has the experience to be a General Counsel, but he also understands the business side of things and works on practical solutions to our problems. He is a regular "Go-To" source for advice from investments, due diligence, and general corporate matters in addition to corporate governance. I would feel very comfortable with Mr. Sweeney as the Chief Legal Officer of my company and would recommend him to anyone seeking a reasonably minded attorney with a smart business acumen.

I work as corporate counsel for a medium-sized company based in the NE United States and deal with hundreds of lawyers across the US and Europe daily. We have operations in Texas, but no actual offices there. We occasionally have legal needs in a wide variety of areas in Texas from real estate to general corporate work and Ryan has been very good to work with in all areas that we have hired him. If we ever do open a Texas office, we would not hesitate to try to bring Ryan in as our legal counsel in that office (if we could lure him away from his firm that is).
