Mr. Hancock represented my son in a criminal case. There was much disappointment as my son and I did not feel like Mr. Hancock was actually fighting for him throughout the process. There was alot to be desired from Mr. Hancock during the process. Mr Hancock used the states investigative findings instead of doing his own investigation to fight for my son. He made a statement to me on a couple of occasionas that I wasn't a rich woman in regards to paying for an investigation for my son. I was told by another attorney, that the state would have covered the cost of an investigation for my son that was not done by this attorney. Mr Hancock used the states slanted data instead of collecting his own. My son has been in jail/prison for about 6 years now. I just wish that Mr. Hancock would have cared more about his client, my son. I don't understand how the lawyer, Mr. Hancock, kept asking the client, "what's the plan?" I may be wrong, but I thought the attorney should formulate the plan? If we were familiar with the law, we wouldn't need an attorney. My son's case could have turned out differently, if the one that represented him,did more on his behalf. My heart is broken!

I am glad I found Mr. Patrick L. Hancock to represent me when the sky was falling on me for the catastrophic drug charges that had been made against me. He is an above average well-seasoned and highly cultured criminal lawyer and above all, he is a decent individual. He has my highest admirations and I recommend his services without hesitancy.

Went to Royal Lea with a Real Estate Fraud case that I had done almost all of the evidence gathering. He even told me it was as close to a 'slam dunk' as it gets. He completely dropped the ball during mediation after talking privately with the other attorney and wanted me to take an agreed judgement (which took me 15 YEARS TO COLLECT). l fired him immediately and took on the collection of the judgment myself. By the time I actually collected the judgment, it wasn't even enough to cover the cost of repairing the building which the case was originally based on.
FIND A DIFFERENT ATTORNEY IF YOU REALLY WANT SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEIR STUFF.

I first met Royal when he sued a client. He handled himself very well, demonstrated deep knowledge of securities law and litigation procedure, and was a worthy adversary. He is very comfortable in a class action or individual claim and as zealous in mediation as court. Top notch.

Royal Lea is in my opinion the best attorney in the country. My cases lasted approximately 18 months and I have never seen a more competent, professional, prepared attorney. As a result of his expertise, both of my cases settled with an outcome that was beyond our expectations. We would all prefer to avoid legal circumstances in general, that being said, situations arise and when they do the attorney is absolutely the key to being successful. I would recommend Mr. Lea to anyone requirng legal advice/service and I would certainly use him again should I ever require legal assistance.

Clint is one hell of an attorney!! He is trustworthy, cares about your wellbeing & does not drag his feet like so many others do. I had gone through several attorneys, I was losing my trust. Clint made me believe there are still honorable attorneys left in San Antonio. I am so happy I trusted & believed in Clint Lawson!!

Unfortunately, I've had a long and trying custody battle over a stretch of 10 plus years. I've dealt with a handful of attorneys over that time and Clint is far and away the best. He's understanding, direct, competent, and sincere. That last one is really a breath of fresh air. Mr. Lawson is currently working to help me get my daughter back (I'm the Managing Conservator) from the other parent who did not return her to me after Spring Break. I'm not sure where I'd be without his guidance.

Clint did not want to hear about a civil settlement with my spouse. He only cared about what he could use to hurt my spouse. While I want to divorce my spouse, I don’t want to run him down because we have minor children. Clint was not concerned with my children.

Lisa Beck defies all connotations thought to be associated with”lawyers”!! Never have I had an attorney show so much compassion and true caring for my well being!! She is all about helping her client—NOT making money!! I highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce

Ms. Beck was my lawyer for a relatively easy and uncomplicated divorce (no children or major assets). After we met in person, she sent over the initial paperwork to file and my name was misspelled throughout (in two different ways!). Throughout the divorce I found her rather condescending, including, when I didn't catch part of what she was saying on a phone call (the other line was ringing, beeping over her words) and I said "Sorry?" (as I didn't hear her) and she repeated what she had said "It would behoove you." I stopped to think about my response and before I could answer she snapped "Do you not know what that means?" I have a graduate degree so, yeah, I did. She additionally made some assumptions about my political leanings, perhaps based on the part of town I was raised in, which led to some rather unfortunate comments I was uncomfortable hearing from anyone, much less someone I was giving money to or who was representing me in a serious matter. She seemed not to take seriously things I knew about the man I was divorcing and how he would react to situations. This led to more back and forth with his lawyer which meant more money out of my pocket and into hers and an even more stressful divorce. I am sure there are very few people in the world who could recommend their divorce attorney, as divorce is never a good event, but several rounds of clerical errors and inappropriate "chit chat" about sensitive political issues one does not bring up in polite conversation, left me uncomfortable in a way I should not have been.

Speeding ticket handled with no anxiety on my part. Turned it over to Brylak who did all the work. No court appearance needed by me and no record on insurance.

Mr. Brylak is a really nice person, but at the time that I hired him as my attorney, he had too many personal problems. He moved up my case 3 times too many without consulting with me first, and didn't fight at mediation. Whatever the other attorney wanted to settle for, he agreed without a fight. I would not recommend this attorney.

According to Les, as observed by me I was impressed at this young attorney’s popularity and interaction with the court officials in @ least 3 different court rooms. Mr. White was originally my court appointed attorney for a MTR case that consisted of two separate charges. He was very affective in getting me a continued probation instead of it being revoked or my suffering any additional consequences. He was eager to listen, and took into full consideration all that I said, and understood my frustration with the system. All said I was confident in his approach to the prosecuting attorney that I would have a positive outcome in this case. As a court appointed attorney I was impressed with his eagerness and willingness to fight for my defense.
In light of his due diligence I have retained Mr. White to replace my previous attorney in a separate and more serious case. In addition he accepted my case with very short notice and quoted a very reasonable fee that was @ least less than 1/3 of that of my previous attorney.
However as it stands my case has not yet gone to trail, so my future still lies in the balance of this young attorney’s ability, diligence, and integrity. I will be sure to update the outcome of my case on this post. In conclusion thus far I would certainly recommend Mr. White. to my friends or family.

On representing my Husband, Mr. Kendall took time out of his day to listen to my concerns and information. He was straightforward about his perception but listened to my thoughts and found areas where his expertise could be used in our defense. He adamantly stands for what He believes in and pursues with integrity.

Kenneth Beanland is a low profile, small office style lawyer. Therefore, his overhead is low, and his rates are fairly reasonable. He is honest and will not squander your money. He is ethical. He will work diligently for you and cover the bases. Communication is good. Dont expect anything over the top, just basics. My family has used his services for estate, wills, real estate and divorce.

BEWARE of Michael Dominick
let me save you your time and money before even considering using Michael Dominick for your services. First of all the receptionist who was very sweet I believe is coached to say whatever it takes to schedule the appointment. I was lied to, to feel comfortable enough to make the appointment. Was told the hourly rate and I said oh I most likely will only take up no more then 20 minutes, I only wanted to ask a couple of questions. She said no problem they will refund for whatever time I don’t use. Which is the only reason I agreed to the appointment. I was there on time, was made to wait cause he was “consulting with a colleague” I was told, which was fine, walked into his office 15 minutes later. Was in his office almost 25 minutes before telling him that I don’t think he is what I was looking for. At the front I asked about the refund and you can tell his frail ego was hurt and said we don’t do that. And I explained then I was lied to and that now I feel conned into making the appointment because I never would have accepted knowing the truth. Said to contact billing and she was just plain rude. She then said that “I am just mad because he wouldn’t take my case” lol oh honey I’m sorry I think you have it twisted but it’s his weak frail male ego that is mad that I didn’t want him. She then dismissed me rudely. Maybe he needs the extra cash because he is the least paid lawyer in that office and was able to take my appointment instantly so that speaks volumes for his books. Maybe he will use the cash to tailor his poorly fit suit. I have the original phone call recorded on my home security cameras to prove I was told about the refund policy and I have the appointment voice recorded because I sometimes forget everything that was talked about during any sort of appointment and like to reference back, so I have time stamps and everything for the record
Save yourself your time and just go somewhere else. He is smug and arrogant and likes the sound of his own voice because I tried to cut off the appointment much sooner as I realized ten minutes in he was not for me but he likes to go round and round repeating himself, probably to rack up the bill and justify himself. I will be going to everywhere and anywhere to leave my review, google, yelp, Reddit, Justia, Avvo, every San Antonio group on Facebook. I will google San Antonio lawyer review sites and leave my experience so people can take from it what they will.

At best, a weak and incompetent attorney. From my conversations with three other attorneys, possibly corrupt, and from a conversation with an attorney from the firm that delegated my case over to Carl Brock, he, at a minimum, mishandled my case. For a competent attorney it would have been an open and shut case. Carl Brock "lost it", or as suggested to me, worse.
I ended up losing everything "courtesy" of Carl Brock's handling my case.
And he had the audacity to blame the jury.
PATHETIC lawyer.

I want to thank Attorney Thomas F. Adkisson and Ms. Patty at 2823 E. Southcross Blvd. San Antonio, Texas 78223 for going beyond their line of duty in assisting me with a dilemma. I had an important document that needed to be faxed. My bank at the time wasn't able to fax the document to Bexar County Attorney's District Office downtown. AT & T phone line service servers were down at the time causing problems for a lot of businesses. My bank called Attorney Adkisson's office asking about the fee price to have it faxed for me. No charge! Attorney Adkisson and Ms. Patty were extremely polite, friendly, kind, courteous and professional. I want anyone needing an Attorney or other services to realize this Attorney office proved to me how not only how they do business but also showed the kindness and extreme professionalism of who they are! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! 💝 Sincerely, Cynthia G Rodriguez

The theme of Ms. Vance's Firm is compassion. As an employee, I am behind the scenes.
It was the day before the Final Hearing, and I still needed to complete the Exhibits. I had also failed to do a transcript notebook that was needed for Final Hearing.
The truth be told, I was at rock bottom, my husband had just abandoned the children and I. During this time, Ms. Vance hugged me as I cried my eyes out.
The compassion at The Law Office of Lisa A. Vance is astounding. I will never forget that moment of compassion during the mist of trial preparation and stress.
Lastly, thank you to Ms. Sampson for working on my Divorce. I was able to get more money than the standard child support do to her due diligence to advocate for the children and I.
It is a true honor to work at the Law Office of Lisa.A. Vance. I will always be thankful for the employment opportunity along with the Firm's extended hand to help my bleeding family. 🙏

Absolutely recommend getting a consultation from Lisa if you need a family lawyer. We have been fighting for custody to protect my special needs son and she listened to us and took the time to guide us in the right direction. We have zero experience in the law field and to have such a kind person talk to us was the hope we needed today. She and her team also loved my daughter and gave her a tour of their rabbit enclosure as well as snacks and books to keep her occupied. I really appreciate everything Lisa. 🥹🥹🥹

I contact this law firm Joel to be exact, because he was working with my father before he died trying to locate property in Medina County. Joel charged me for the same work he did for my father.

After struggling with my case for nearly two years, I had the good fortune of having Ms. Deanna take over. She is the most exceptional attorney I have ever encountered. Her extensive knowledge and unwavering ethical standards, along with those of her entire legal team, Ms. Sandy, Ms. Cait, & Ms. April, are truly impressive. Ms. Deanna handled my case with the utmost respect and made me feel like part of her family. From our very first meeting, I knew she was the only attorney I could trust with my case. Although I regret not hiring her sooner, I am immensely thankful for the positive outcome she achieved. I highly recommend The Whitley Law Firm—don't hesitate to seek their assistance.

The first two reviews you see here are from two vindictive mothers, trying to keep children away from the fathers.
If you want fairness justice, abd somebody who will actually fight for you. Hire her she will not let you lie you cannot make up lies. You cannot be vindictive. She will help you down to the bottom. Another lawyer practically stole my money and I ended up with L Gavito. At first I thought she was rude with how short she kept phone calls and I was getting and thinking my case is just another pile for her. Nope she called me out nowhere to me to go get my kids for the spring break.
She will work on your case even when you think she is not. LET HER COOK as they say.
