Michelle Lanfear was referred to me by another attorney. My first impression was that she was aggressive and attentive. Nothing could have been further from the truth. She was never around for anything, highly impatient, and let my ex-wife's attorney run all over her. Her employee was extremely rude to me and threatened me on several occasions. Her associate attorneys were great. However, that was the only saving grace in my experience with that firm. Never again!

Michelle was an advocate for me from the moment I walked into her office. Although I was angry and impatient she coached me through depositions, hearings and the outcome was 100% what she guaranteed me. I would use her again and highly recommend her. Her staff is attentive and Kurt is knowledgeable and kept me up to speed.

I hire this lawyer when i was 16 yo. I was burned by a local restaurant while i was working for them and Mr. Hernandez took the case and i was thinking that i was going to win this case on the info we had. But its been almost 6 years since the accident and about 4 years since today i haven't heard from Mr. Hernandez. Every single time i try to call him, he does not answer or he " is in a meeting". I am in the military now so i travel ALOT. Everytime I am home on leave, i try stopping by his office or giving him a call, but i never here of him. I just wanted to give my spill on Mr. Hernandez. And you know i live by a pharse the Marines use all the time Semper Fidelis, which means Always Faithful, but right now he aint be faithful. Well i hope this info helps you on picking a good Lawyer

Bryan Crone was an absolute professional. For over a year I went back and forth on if I wanted to pull the trigger on divorce or not. Bryan never pressured me one way or the other and was more than patient with me. It felt like he genuinely had my best interest at heart. Ultimately when I decided to proceed with the divorce, he made the process easy and explained things in a way that was easily understood every step of the way. I would not wish divorce on anyone, but if that situation ever occurs, I would absolutely recommend Bryan Crone.

**DO NOT** hire this Law Firm, they are thieves, they lie lie lie to get you to retain them using the fakest sympathy for your divorce issues and later continue to lie and rob you. My attorney Brooke Irey from this firm refused to represent me claiming I agreed to her withdrawal, however a judge has never approved that withdrawal. She got me locked out of my home that I have exclusive rights to until it sells. She risked mine and my sons lives to date by not writing up and delivering the judges orders Overall sneaky grimy shady business. All this because 7500.00 was not enought to write up a judges court order from 07/2023 according to her. That was not part of the 75000.00 She got me locked out of my home that I have exclusive rights to until it sells. I will be pressing Tresspassing charges on all parties involved.

This guy is Terrible as an Amicus Attorney, He gave my Son no consideration as to his request to live with me. He Lied and discredited my son and myself to the court. Instead of stating truths he gave his opinion which was way off track. Stay away from this guy if you value your family. My Son is 14yrs old and he stated he was too immature to decide where he wanted to live. He was appointed by the court and seemed like a nice concerned guy when we met him. But he only spent 1 hour with me and my son over a 8 month period. Terrible work ethic and no morals.

My son has done nothing hes never defended.my son one time. He has the lawyers who are afraid of Cox Cause he lies and is a Manipulator. He does nothing you ask. He was paid 5000. And did nothing. Right Ms jontu. Lawyers and Judges use to be fair and lawyers would meet and explain what they were doing. NOT MR COX. Hes a very sick and demented man. Hes.put my son in a 2x2 cage and he has.been there gor 3 years for nothing. My son has his sister to bond him out. BUT.NO COX wants 2500. More. He took my money and i never heard or seen him again.

7-10 day wait to get a phone call or email, maybe, then cancels the phone appointment you waited for, only to do more waiting and hoping as you try again. You have to beg her to pay attention to your case. Months of waiting and hoping she will take the next step or take the time to talk to you - then you get 10 minutes, maybe 15 at best (3 times over more than 7 months), then she has little to say about anything including the process. We went with her because of the claims on her website. Experience shows otherwise.

I had previously been represented by a terrible lawyer. Once he realized he was in way over his head he brought in Melissa to "consult" on the divorce. Once Melissa came into the picture it was clear that she was far superior in terms of her knowledge and her ability to move the process of my divorce along. She spends tons of time in the courthouse which can make it difficult to communicate with her directly, but it also means that she knows the judges and state employees in the courthouse really well. She always made me feel at ease there (it's an intimidating place) and managed to resolve my divorce for a fee that I felt was reasonable given the issues involved. I never felt that things were out of control with her - - she always projected confidence and let me know that things were under control. Plus, she backed that up with being dynamite in the actual courtroom... If you think your divorce might actually go to trial, I doubt there is anyone better than her! Thank you Melissa!!!

This lady is very disorganized, she showed up very late on three occasions, and there was a new excuse each time. One of the occasions she "forgot" about the court date. While waiting for the hearing, while my opposing lawyer was sitting, talking and preparing with her client (the mother of my child) , my lawyer went to talk with her friends and left me sitting alone for over an hour. This was my first time in court and I didn't know what to do or what to prepare myself for. Instead of seeing a judge, she thought it was a good idea to try and reason with the other lawyer, since she said it was much easier that way than going before a judge. She told me that if I went before a judge, there's a chance that I'll lose everything. I didn't know much about orders and custody laws at the time, and I left in worse shape and paying much more child support than when I went in. She seemed nice during my consultation, but when we were in the courtroom, it was like if she teamed up with the other lawyer to bring me down together. I was a victim in this case being wrongfully sued and the only good that came from it is that the mother of my child dropped the suit and gave in. Looking back on it and knowing what I know now, I would have been better off representing myself and standing before a judge, and saving thousands in the process. I learned my lesson so you don't have to. Seek anyone else, this woman will leave you with less custody rights and a lot less money.

Anything that doesn't require effort she'll be fine. If you need a real lawyer invested in your best interests that's willing to work for a solution to your specific problem avoid this woman. She's completely incompetent aside from filing paper work as a paralegal would do. I hired her for a custody case and I ended up paying $400 a month in childcare and losing custody based on her suggestion that was completely wrong for my situation after I paid her a ridiculous amount of money. She didn't keep me informed and she didn't take any time to discuss the different legal routes available to me. She did what was easiest for her. She's horrible!!!! Now I have to wait three years before going back to court, and she never informed me if that until after the fact or I would of never went into mediation.

I had the unfortunate experience along with my husband of having to deal with this horrible example of a child advocate! She was self-centered, condescending, rude, self absorbed, narcissistic, and flat out the most biased person I have ever met in my entire life. There aren't enough examples I can give of how horrible she actually was in an overall manor. We were fighting for custody of my step children (who I consider my children), because we want a better future for them, and she did not follow through with what she said she would and acted very unprofessionally. I am sad that she did not do her job to the best of her ability and all we continued to get from her was how great she was and all the accomplishments she had under her belt (I never witnessed anything good at all). She also lied under oath and never followed through with the services we paid for up front. I was also disgusted when she compared her niece who has a birth defect with my step daughter who has a slight learning disability (how disgusting for her to belittle that). I am appalled that she is continually allowed to represent children and be their voice when she does not do her job. She also had the nerve in court to call my mother a Step grandmother, and she said a lot of people might be offended because my mother isn't blood (so she shouldn't be called grandma), but the sad truth is my parents treat them as if they were their blood grandchildren and more so than the kids actual blood grandparents (SAD)! I am seriously disgusted with Rosie Gonzalez's actions in and out of court. I would never recommend her to anyone, because I don't want anyone to go through what we had to go through. She formed an opinion and was biased from the start. She can't stand questions and if you disagree with her she will be nasty to you. She also went after one of our witnesses (a family member) so much to point she tried to get him fired, but a witness from the other side lied on the stand and she did nothing. We were told by many that they felt she acted unprofessionally the entire time and they though she was an attorney for the other side. Please don't use this woman!!! I am not stopping here as I don't want her to put anyone else through what she put us through. I know no one is perfect and life takes you in many directions, but the truth is the truth. If I could rate a negative star I would.

After hearing many strong opinions about Rosie fighting for a child's best interest, we immediately consulted with her and confidently made the choice to retain her for a custody dispute. When we went to court, the attorney representing my wife's ex-husband was brutal while my wife was on the stand and Rosie sat back and watched. When my wife's ex husband was on the stand, Rosie took it easy on him and did not bother to question the validity of the false accusations he made against my wife like we had discussed prior to court. The judge ruled we were to take more time and try to work things out which from his perspective would make sense considering he only heard the ex's side from his aggressive attorney and not my wife's side from Rosie. During this temporary time, more complications arose for our child and Rosie would only represent us again for more money (even though we were still coming back with the initial issue and no real resolution for our child's well-being). This was our first experience going though a custody dispute, and Rosie had gained our trust. Though it was a struggle, we pulled together the funds for Rosie's services again and we were back in court. The second time around ended badly for our child. When push came to shove Rosie caved and suggested we agree to the ex-husband's demands because we couldn't afford her services to pursue the dispute in court. Unfortunately we trusted her and gave in to the ex-husband's demands. After that, our child continued to endure mental and emotional abuse from my wife's ex-husband. We did all we could to afford taking him back to court, but that time we chose a different attorney. Come to find out, the new attorney we retained confirmed Rosie didn't represent us properly. Now we are trying to untangle everything Rosie did. Our child continues to suffer at the cruel hand of my ex-wife's husband thanks to Rosie Gonzalez, but little by little we are changing the situation now that it is being addressed by a professional attorney who is genuine and capable of getting to the core of the issue and seeking proper resolution in the best interest of our child. From personal experience, I will never recommend Rosie Gonzalez for custody issues if you truly care about your child's well-being. She's a nice lady but not a good attorney.

I used James Milan as a last resort recommendation on not one. But two cases. One was for an accident and another a first time offense of being falsely accused of assault. He made me believe that I was “Gonna be okay” being that it was a first time offense. He signed off and did not present any evidence nor my witness landing me in a horrible situation that has not only caused me distress but had me throw $5k of my hard earned money away when it could’ve gone on a lawyer who does their job. Had I been advised I had 30 days to hire a new council or request a trial. I would have. I have deep regret for using this incompetent and horrible representative of a man. He should not practice law and should hardly be used to “Defend” anyone as he is not fit to do so. He did nothing for me and I assure you anyone is better to hire than this man.

Mr. Hajek has helped my family several times in the last several years with cases. He has been a God send in so many ways. He's honest, reliable, knowledgeable, and helpful. He is straight forward in his determinations of how best to accomplish what you want. He defended my husband and his service dog in Court and helped to save her from being taken away. Without his help, my husband who is a disabled vet, would have been virtually homebound. But thanks to Mr. Hajek, my husband has his life back and he was able to keep his service dog.

**DO NOT** hire this Law Firm, they are thieves, they lie lie lie to get you to retain them using the fakest sympathy for your divorce issues and later continue to lie and rob you. My attorney Brooke Irey from this firm refused to represent me claiming I agreed to her withdrawal, however a judge has never approved that withdrawal. She got me locked out of my home that I have exclusive rights to until it sells. She risked mine and my sons lives to date by not writing up and delivering the judges orders Overall sneaky grimy shady business. All this because 7500.00 was not enought to write up a judges court order from 07/2023 according to her. That was not part of the 75000.00 She got me locked out of my home that I have exclusive rights to until it sells. I will be pressing Tresspassing charges on all parties involved.

The communication was very poor, with multiple unnecessary delays. What was largely an uncontested divorce took much longer than needed.

I am deeply disappointed with the services provided by attorney Natasha Sherri in handling my divorce case. Despite paying her money for her services, she failed to assist me in any meaningful way throughout the process. From the onset of our engagement back in 2020 during the challenging times of Covid-19, communication was already a struggle. Despite my attempts to reach out to her via email and phone calls, I faced difficulties in getting a response from her. Initially, she cited personal reasons such as the passing of her father for her unavailability, but eventually, she ceased all communication altogether. Due to her lack of assistance and unresponsiveness, I was left with no choice but to file a grievance with the Texas State Bar to address this matter. I urge others to exercise caution when considering her services, as my experience with her has been highly unsatisfactory. I am currently awaiting a response to the grievance I have filed and hope that this review serves as a warning to others who may be considering retaining Natasha Sherri as their legal counsel for any matter.

Hired this lawyer through Legal Bundle. I paid her 1500 dollars and she ghosted me and refuses to return any of my phone calls. Hired her two years ago and still have had the other party served with any type of papers. So buyer beware.

I hired them over the phone. I would try and call to speak to the lawyer but he was never available then I tried to speak with the paralegal and she was never available. I would be placed on hold for 5 to 8 minutes at a time with no answer and then the line would get disconnected. The receptionist was always very rude she would keep me online and forget and pick up 5 to 8 minutes later and say how can I help you. I would kindly remind her that I was waiting to speak to the paralegal or the lawyer Or even the manager. Very unprofessional very disrespectful and I never got call back from them. I was lucky enough to get my thousand dollars back. But I want to warn anyone else please do not hire them.

When I first started looking for a lawyer. I did my research around my area. I noticed some lawyer were polite but really expensive and not too knowledgeable. I never met Mr. Gutierrez. However his staff was very good and professional. I'm sorry to hear that others might not think the same but I learn something. An immigration process takes time and patience. If you are the type of people that think that just because you pay for a service you need a red carpet, then go pay 15,000 to 20,000 dollars for the same service waiting the same time but just because you were able to see your lawyer face. If you have the money then be my guest. I am happy to see my wife with her resident card. THANK YOU TO SANDRA FOR HER PROFESSIONALISM AND THE TIME SHE SPEND IN MY WIFE CASE.

My husband and I hired Mr. Trevino to help my husband with his residency and it’s been the longest time waiting, without knowing anything. I do not know if he is good or not because we have spoken to him ONCE and through a video call were we could even get to see him, so basically just a phone call. They have the worst customer service, secretary is rude and they never know anything. Plus, that’s once in a million when they answer the phone, which is completely rare. As of today we haven’t received any answers, and when we get to speak to any of them, they just ask for money. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.

I hired Jorge Treviño to help petition my girlfriend under VAWA. He charged me 50% upfront. He did open a case but soon after that, he stopped answering my calls and texts. His secretary at the firm also stopped answering my calls. I regret hiring this lawyer I just wish he was more honest with me and tell me what actually was going on to help my girlfriend instead of wasting our time and money. Please go to a different immigration lawyer thank you.

Judith moved mountains for us!! We lived in a small town and grandson was related to most of the law. She didn’t back down like our other lawyer. Thanks to her and his counselor my grandson is now safe with his mother. He’s been with us for over a year now and is still traumatized by what was done to him. I can’t imagine where we would be today if it wasn’t for her help.

If I could give less than one star I would negligent doesn’t begin to describe this attorney she has not communicated with me since the day I wrote her a check not a return phone call not a return text or email I personally went to her office three times and spoke with her assistant who every time told me she was not in the office. I requested that my file be ready for me to take to another attorney and email to me or that I be called but I was ready for pick up this was about six months ago I have not heard the case was very simple required a mirror appearance and nothing much further than that filing a motion. I went to another lawyer after having to handle half of the issue myself personally for free and paid less than half of what she charged me to have him take care of this in less than two weeks in the meantime I have filed a bar complaint and still not heard anything back from this attorney steer clear I cannot warn you strongly enough against using her.

Mr. Vale and his paralegal are literally the best office you can hire. I first haired then back in 2014 when i was going through a divorce , and that time i was 22 didn’t know much but they had my back. He showed up then very next day for court although i just hired him the day before. Kathrine is super knowledgeable, sweet, and such an asset to this office. This team is literally a financial duo. Since 2014 i have hired them for numerous other issues and they never fail to come through. They have become a second family to me and i will recommend them in a heart beat to anyone who needs action taken... and quick. Reasonably priced, loyal, and dedicated.

Met with him in Dec 2018 with his promise to file by 22 Dec 2018. Did Not Happen. Next visit in Jan 2018, he finally got off his butt to file. Presented him with all the material evidence a lawyer could want and did NOT even make copies of the evidence and 2 months later requested information he was already provided. Now that it is time to show up for a hearing, he said the other parties lawyer is a good friend of his that he went to school with. WHAT DO YOU THINK MY CHANCES ARE OF GETTING OUT OF THIS DIVORCE WITHOUT BEING SKINNED ALIVE AND NAILED TO THE CROSS??? !!! Don't Even Bother With This Lawyer!!! You Lose The Minute You Sign A Contract With This Guy!!! Don't Even Know How He Stays In Business!!!

Slow, uncaring phone service. Hired him to have ticket dismissed and never heard from them again. It required two phone calls to ever get proof matter was taken care of. I paid to have a ticket taken care of because I didn't have time to handle it myself. Having to hound my attorney to make sure he did the work defeated the purpose of hiring him. Attorney I have used on previous cases was much easier to deal with.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    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.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    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.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

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.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      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.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      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.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
