Repeatedly denied an appointment in 3 years only met with me 2 intake and when my lawyer got involved. Child reported assault to the school and parent was federal convicted and Diane still said child should go with that parent, she was catch name calling me in text message we showed the judge and she said the text messages were fake and tried getting the other person to lie for her and they didn’t show up to testify for her. The child has even said she is ‘cringy’ and doesn’t like her. Diane try to make it sound like they are buddies and she know the child better than her parents. She is great at extorting clients for money and horrible at her job, and is extremely two faced. It’s on record in the court’s transcripts you can check my review creditable and know it’s not exaggerated or slander.
This type of behavior needs to be known.

Diane told the judge that she talked to my children multiple times while they were with me, before and after covid. That is a lie. She told the judge that my children did not want to talk to her. That is also a lie. I only gave one star because I had to in order to post. If it allowed to post with zero stars, I would have.

Just read Mr. Barkley assessment of Mr. Luchnick handling of his affairs. This is all to common with young man trusting someone they don't. This is the very reason there's a need for a Cluch Sports, not because there black, they have the ability to relate to them directly, as apposed to telling the unsuspecting victim of your planned theft.

Steven Redgate and his "team" are a joke. I hired him about 5 years ago to obtain my permanet residence and it was a disater at the end. When I first met with Mr. Redgate he promised me that would go to all hearings and when it came down to going he didn't know There was one scheduled and on top of that he wanted to charge me extra for going. He stated in the beginning that my fee would cover all that but it didn't. I ended up going to the meeting by myself but luckly for me I becaom a permanet resident.Thanks for nothing Mr. Redgate.

I have seen the other reviews and I do not understand how people would say those things. Mr. Redgate handled my immigration case and told me that it would be difficult from the very beginning. He told me my options and explained everything that he could do. He also told me to talk to other lawyers so that I would be sure that I was comfortable dealing with whoever took my case. I took his advice and did speak to other lawyers but after listening to them decided to go with Mr. Redgate. The case took a long time to complete and we had to go to several hearings, but we were successful!

He's rude. I called twice about a sibling he was representing to find out details. As a woman I felt completely insulted and he did not even provide any salient details. Most uncaring conversation I have ever had with an attorney. Currently looking for another.

I HAVE HAD OCCASION OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS TO SEEK AND RECEIVE ASSISTANCE FROM JAMES HUNT CONCERNING HIS REPRESENTATION OF MY SON AND MY SELF IN CONJUNCTION WITH VIOLATION TO SEVERAL CRIMINAL ORDINANCES.
ALTHOUGH THE REASON FOR THE CRIMES WAS SIMPLE.
TEXAS LAWS ARE VERY FEW AND VAGUE REGARDING MENTAL ILLNESS DISABILITY AND THE DISPOSITION OF SUCH THINGS.
AT THE TIME AND STILL TODAY WHILE THERE IS MUCH TALK OF SEPARATING THE CRIMINAL FROM THE MENTALLY DISABLED. THE LEGISLATORS WHO CAN CHANGE THINGS ARE NOT DOING SO.
IN ORDER TO FIND HELP FOR OUR SITUATION WE WERE INDIRECTLY COERCED TO BREAK CERTAIN LAWS. THE ONGOING PRACTICE WE EXPERIENCED WAS:
1, CALL THE POLICE.
2. THE POLICE DETAINED THOSE CONCERNED AND TOOK
THEM BEFOR THE MAGISTRATE FOR ASSIGNATION.
3. JAMES WAS CONTACTED AND THRU MANY MONTHS OF
COMPASSIONATE EFFORT HELPED RRSOLVE OUR ISSUES
WITH THE LAW AND DIRECTED US TO THE PROPER AGENCIES TO GUIDE US IN THE DIRECTION NEEDED.
THE POINT IS IN THE PAST AND STILL TODAY FOR MANY OF US THE ONLY WAY TO SECURE HELP IS TO BREAK THE LAW . GET INTO "THE SYSTEM" GET A POLICE RECORD FOR THE VIOLATIONS AND AN ATTORNEY TO STEER YOU TO THE PROPER PEOPLE TO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE.
TO DATE WE ARE 2 FREE PEOPLE WITH POLICE RECORDS
FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO.
IT IS NICE TO SEE THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND THE COUNTY SHERIFF TELL THE CITZENRY ON TV THAT THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED "MENTAL HEALTH UNITS" BUT WHEN WE REQUESTED THEIR AID AND RESPONSE WE WERE TOLD "CALL THIS NUMBER BETWEEN 9 TO 5." SADLY MANY OF THESE CASES OCCUR BETWEEN 5PM AND 9AM. SO IT IS OFF TO JAIL.
THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH. OUR ONLY REST AND PEACE OF MIND CAME THRU JAMES WHO WORKED TIRELESSLY TO DIFUSE THE PROBLEMS.
ADMITELY WE DID VIOLATE THE ORDINANCES BUT ONLY TO GET SOMONES ATTENTION FOR HELP.
OUR NEXT GOAL IS TO GET THE POLICE RECORD EXPUNGED
DUE TO EXTENUATING ISSUES.
I PERSONALLY WAS CHARGED WITH DISCHARGING A FIREARM WITHIN A COMMUNITY OF GREATER THAN 500,000. REALITY: I FIRED MY GUN AT THE CEILING IN MY HOUSE FOR THE NOISE. TO GET EVERYBODYS ATTENTION.
WELL THAT WORKED SOME.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT WE HAVE KNOW AND UTILIZED JAMES' TALENTS AND EDUCATION FOR OVER 10 YRS. AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.
I WOULD GIVE HIM AN AVVO RATING OF 9.
I.LL SAVE THE 10 FOR WHEN THE LAWS ARE CHANGED.

I met this attorney and what she told me was that she does not take a case that she cannot win. The beginning was fine, there was active communication, then radio silence. I sent numerous emails and made several phone calls. The administrative assistant said she couldn't track her down, was unavailable, was out of the office etc (that's how many times I'd called). I asked to speak with another member of the team, and did not receive a phone call or e-mail back from them either. She even set up appointments that she missed. I have paid this attorney a few thousand dollars and NOTHING! If you would like an attorney that will call you back, please do not have her represent you. I definitely suggest do your research before hiring any attorney. Especially this one!

I was referred to Mr. Garza to represent me. We spoke several times, and he agreed to represent me. He was going to send me the representation agreement that day, or the next day. No agreement arrived. There were several more phone calls, several more promises of a forthcoming representation agreement. Meanwhile, other persons, who required the name of the person who was representing me, were becoming frantic. After about 2 months, when no agreement arrived, I gave up - and found another attorney. I never heard from Mr. Garza after the last phone call I made to him, when he yet again promised to send me the agreement.

The Baez Law Firm should be ashamed to have Crystal Wright representing them. She did not do anything but make my case worse. After I paid her she avoided my calls for months. She did not do anything but lie to me and give me the run around. She put several different lawyers on my case that had no clue what was going on. She withdrew from my case for no reason but too several thousandd of dollars from me

I hired Eric to file a patent. I had a provisional patent with a filing date of 10-10-17. He needed to file for the patent by 10-10-18 or I would lose my filing date. I paid him on 7-30-18. Eric NEVER filed for the patent and was never intending to.
I’ve been trying to contact Eric repeatedly by Phone, Email and Text. But he continues to ignore me. I officially ask for a refund but he still continues to ignore me.

I have been court appointed this attorney and he won't call me at all he knows absolutely nothing about me. He is a contracts attorney. I have had him as an attorney for two months now and I have not received a call from him at all. He is very unprofessional. He doesn't consult with me before I have a court hearing to see what I want him to tell the judge.

Lee has handled many cases for me from speeding tickets, to sealing records, to divorce. His major practice is dealing with CPS and other entities at the courthouse. He works with people on the rates charged; he will recommend you to someone who can help you if he cannot.
He is timely, honest, and he will be forthright.

Marlon took on a case for our family even though he was very busy, and it was not going to be one of his most profitable cases. However, his professionalism and diligence was undiminished. He handled it correctly, beginning to end, was timely in his communication and with us. Although he appears young, his level of knowledge on not only immigration law but also local courtroom proceedings was equivalent to a much more weathered attorney. Marlon is an attorney we believe can be trusted and we will tell all of our friends how grateful we are for his service. Immigration can seem intimidating, especially for non-English speakers, Marlon is definitely capable and well respected as an attorney.

My husband and I used San Miguel and Mackell Associates and it was the biggest rip off ever!!! First they required us to put a $5500 retainer down. My husband and I were dealing with a psychotic ex-wife so we did everything we could to get the retainer. The first court appearance Ron Mackell arrived looking as if he had slept in his vehicle. San Miguel was with him and she agreed with things we were saying but did nothing to push them forward against Mackell. It was the biggest and most costliest thing my husband and I ever went through. We actually lost more rights and money due to Mackell's lack of effort and knowledge. I wish there was a way clients who have been ripped off by these two could file a class action suit. We had to end up requesting them off of our case and lost $5500. DO NOT USE THIS LAW FIRM!

Lack of communication, professionalism and basic courtesy. Secretary doesn’t have a clue when he is in/out. Asked to call back and he wasn’t there, asked to call back on Saturday. Emailed to confirm he was there on Saturday and secretary failed to respond. Mr Bryant left a vm that he would send email to address contract issues. No response to emails, voicemail or text messages. Phone appointment set up and no call. No communication to address. Finally received text from Mr Bryant stating that he would send email addressing contract. He was busy dealing with family and kids. Since that text, no communication whatsoever from secretary or Mr Bryant. Left voicemails, many emails and text messages, no response. Wants a high dollar for subpar nonexistent services. If he didn’t want to handle case, simple communication would suffice instead of wasting my time and aggravation.

This man was appointed by the Court to represent me. He told me I would have to be in Federal Custody for two more years before he would take it to court. They (Assistant Federal Prosecutor Tracy Thompson & FBI) knew I was innocent one month after being arrested. I took a false conviction just to get out of jail.... just to get away from this man... with the lie that they will let me out of jail in a few days when he knew it would take months before sentencing.

Mr. Shulter will tell you exactly what you want to hear so that you will hire him. I was told by him that my case was very straightforward and easy to file and keep up with and he straight up told the judge that it was doomed from the beginning. He did absolutely nothing for me and yet took over $2,000 of my hardworking money and left me still with no house. Stay far away from this attorney.

I contacted Mr. Placier to help with an immigration problem. I'm a naturalized citizen, and had my wallet stolen with my driver's license and SS card. Instead of telling me he was not qualified, he bragged about "knowing" people in our community to expedite the process. Mr. Placier deceived me for four years, giving me excuse after excuse why it was taking so long to get copies made. Mind you, I could not travel or find legitimate work due to having no ID or proof of citizenship. In 2014, I was diagnosed with an abscess on my spine which cause me to be a quadriplegic. I had to investigate to find my adopted family, who I had been estranged for over 20 years, to get copies of my documentation. After that, I found a website that found my documentation and sent me copies by mail. The process took me two weeks and only $25! He had lied and told me it would cost me $300/per document and take upwards of a year to get copies made. He had me hanging for four years telling me there were difficulties in my particular case! DO NOT use this man! He's a criminal attorney, he should have turned me away and saved me the turmoil! Now, because I couldn't work (legitimately) in those four years, I was denied disability! He should be disbarred!! IMO

...unless you want to spend thousands of dollars to NOT have your calls returned, texts replied or emails answered. Or if you wish to have your court dates reset numerous times or missed altogether then she is the lawyer for you. Most of the time I was advised of a court date through the opposing party via a text stating "see you in court (insert day/time)" after a bickering long text. OBVIOUSLY, the opposing party was well informed by their attorney. Valerie Alonzo will only reply or go above and beyond when it comes to asking for more money. Once that money is paid, you will not hear from her for weeks. When she finally gets in touch with you, she will justify her neglect with one personal reason or another. Why did I not fire her? I tried. But kept her out of ignorance. I assumed attorneys were hesitant to take a case that had already been started. My ignorance cost me a lot of money for an attorney that paid little attention to my questions, comments or concerns. Do not make the same MISTAKE. Find yourself another attorney. She is not someone trustworthy. She charges you after "final fees", she makes false claims of costs and motions and then tries to drags on your case for more money. Going through any type of legal case is not an easy thing and I am trying to save you from making the same mistake I did. It is not fair to entrust someone during such a difficult time just to have your money taken and your comments, questions or concerns ignored. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I chose Valerie to represent me in my Separation case which also involved the custody of my son. Valerie was not only very attentive to my "wants/wishes", she took the time to know the facts in my case and provided excellent guidance every step of the way! In the courtroom, she really took charge against then State Rep., Joaquin Castro. She painted a very elaborate picture to supprt the person that I am, which in the end, helped me (a father) be awarded primary conservatorship of my son. Thinking back on it all after 3 years, I could not be more happy with the outcome of Valerie's support! I feel extremely fortunate to have selected Valerie to represent me!

This "Law Firm" is a joke. I paid over $2500 for what essentially amounted to one in office visit with CPS. We were quoted $2000 to handle a BOGUS CPS case. Paid in FULL and Mr Garza (Andrew) calls and tells us Mr Garza is with drawing from our case. We still have CPS in our lives (now more than ever because we do not have the protection of a attorney. They have threatened to take my daughter away and caused all kinds of stress in my life. We met with Mr Garza only one time. His paralegal Andrew did all the "work" on the case and billed us $100 a hour. Mr Garza never had me or my family in mind. All they were concerned with is how much money they could squeeze out of you. Called literally every day demanding more money. They missed filings on Court Proceedings that would have got CPS shut down, had numerous typos on signed Affidavits, didn't know who needed to sign the affidavits, didn't put in any evidence from our side, asked us to provide things for him and our evidence and then never used them. I could go on and on. I have worked in the legal field for a very long time and I have NEVER seen unprofessional, incompetent people in my life. Andrew is literally one of the most incompetent man I have ever met. All he would do is upset my wife and tell her how we should be prepared to lose. It was a BS slam door case. When I told him I wanted him to go in there and SHUT THIS DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL, Andrew told me i would have to pay around $6,000 for Mr Garza to "take the gloves off" Like.... what?? He is total garbage and you are better off going ProSe in your case than ever letting these baboons even look at your case

This law firm engaged in fraud, and deceitful practices in my personal injury case. They are also dishonest, and deceptive in their practices. I just filed grievances against Tom Crosley, Steven Nunez, and Brennan Jenkins. I also had to report them to the authorities for stealing & misappropriating funds from a settlement. Lastly, this firm can't be trusted. They withdrew from my case one month before trial because the lawyer wanted to go to Japan for personal reasons. The most dishonorable group of attorneys that I've ever met hands down. The case has now been settled, & get this, Tom Crosley is trying to bill me for expert witnesses even though he never Nunez did any depositions, & I'm not going to trial. This attorney violated my constitutional rights by bullying or coercing me into accepting a low settlement or withdrawing. This guy, Crosley, & Nunez are total scammers. I will be uploading documents for proof very soon. Find a law firm that posts reviews from actual clients, not former employees like this scammer, Crooked Crosley. This law firm stole $37K from my family. Crosley also scammed me out of an additional $10K by sending a doctor to my home for 15 minutes. Dr. Brandon Goff was also part of this scam, he was supposed to write me a life plan that I never received, & was never able to use because the lawyer Crosley was in on the scam & withdrew. They never planned on taking my case to trial. It was a total waste of time dealing with this law firm.

I asked Mr Shaffer a question and instead of responding to my question he managed to use profanity towards me towards me . I'll find this very unprofessional and disrespectful from an attorney who's supposed to be a professional. Of course I wouldn't expect anything less from someone who purchased liens from homeowners associations and evicted many families from their homes many with children. He and his buddy Brian Trenz make millions of dollars a victim homeowners from their home. Anyone who has had dealings and been wronged by attorney David Schaefer or his buddy attorney Brian Trenz . Please contact Bill Davis at 210 439-8254. I'm in the process of filing a complaint against Mr Schaefer with the State bar association for the rude and disrespectful profanity he used towards me in a text . What kind of professional attorney cannot answer the phone and has to respond via text. In addition has a filthy mouth and only likes to cuss people out very unprofessional.

susan edwards was a great lawyer, so i thought. she was attentive, and she seemed to follow through with her word.
i thought i had got so lucky seeing how she and i came to cross paths..... she was my court appointed attorney. all i knew of "court appointed" attorneys was what i saw in movies and had "heard" from a few girls i met years before, needless to say, it was not encouraging.
susan edwards is a lawyer of the worst kind, she led me on to believe i was in good hands, then dumped me off to a stranger for personal gain........i also thought she was "helping" me out with a personal issue, and with that one she just disappeared. and one of my cases ended very badly, and the other is still floating around while i continue to get screwed.
do not trust susan edwards
