These people will be just as nice as can be until they start receiving money. They will promise you the world and not even attempt to fulfill any of their promises. I hired Mr. Harrison in November and I opted to make monthly payments so I could see if they were going to make good on any of their promises. I was told since I live over 500 miles away they would do what they can to get me to be able to do pretrial drug tests where I live and would try to get the order on pretrial that I cannot be in contact with my husband lifted seeing he wasn’t pressing any charges. None of this was even attempted on their end. I made a call in December to make a payment and Tammy wasn’t in the office the day I called and I never heard back from her. Finally, got a call the other day and she was wanting a payment so I tried to call to make the payment today and my credit card supposedly kept declining even though my credit company said they didn’t see any attempts to run the card on their end. When I tried to explain to Tammy this, she kept telling me that they needed that payment, they needed that payment. I told her I tried to pay last month and this is what I have to pay with. I tried telling her that I keep having to drive back and forth to Tyler which is getting expensive and her response was that they were trying to get everything dropped. She said to me on the phone, “well what’s your pretrial officers name so I can contact her so you don’t have to worry about going”. I explained to her that my officer told me repeatedly that I have to show up even if I drug tested somewhere else to report. I also told Tammy that this was supposed to be done from the get go and I’ve already had to make a couple trips since. Any time I tried to ask questions I was given sighs and rudely interrupted and she only had time to try to get more money out of me. I had a good first impression but past that point was totally opposite. It was bad enough that I had to tell her that I didn’t like her attitude and to let me know who I need to contact and that I’ll just represent myself on this matter since I’m already $1250 out. I’m still waiting for that call back on that information, which I’m sure I’ll never receive. Maybe that’s the name of their game, collect payment in hopes they won’t have to deal with their clients anymore. All I can say is listen to their other bad reviews and seek someone else. Mr. Harrison was alright from what few minutes I visited with him, but you don’t deal with him, you deal with a flustered Tammy who is his paralegal and I highly do not recommend her. Beware!

Tyler Friedson is the best !! I can’t stop bragging about Tyler. He is just amazing !! He helped me so much throughout my case & I could not be more happier with the outcome. I gave him a hard challenge but he never got worried. He had a plan for everything & he was always ready for anything that could come our way. He always kept me updated with everything & his communication was on point. He is not scared to take a case to court & will battle for you. I honestly don’t know what i would do without him. It’s been a true blessing. For anyone looking for a family attorney, Tyler Friedson is definitely the one you want by your side on that courtroom!!

Tab Lawhorn and Jacob Guerrero were the absolute best in helping me receive judgment against a contractor who took my money and never performed the service. They were great to work with and very reasonable, working with me every step of the way in the most cost efficient manner. So thankful and glad I had them on my side while going through this difficult time.

Tyler Friedson is the best !! I can’t stop bragging about Tyler. He is just amazing !! He helped me so much throughout my case & I could not be more happier with the outcome. I gave him a hard challenge but he never got worried. He had a plan for everything & he was always ready for anything that could come our way. He always kept me updated with everything & his communication was on point. He is not scared to take a case to court & will battle for you. I honestly don’t know what i would do without him. It’s been a true blessing. For anyone looking for a family attorney, Tyler Friedson is definitely the one you want by your side on that courtroom!!

A huge “Thank you” to Evan Barat. She was assigned as an amicus atty for my husband’s adult disabled non-verbal son. She is fair, honest, understanding and responds quickly to calls and emails. What a true blessing to have someone that is fair to both parties and her concern and welfare and best interest of the child. We appreciate all of her understanding of the situation and her recommendations that were in the best interest for most importantly the adult disabled child and all parties involved.

If you need to get a Visa, do not go see Ha. She Is unbelievably unequipped to do the job as she does not understand the process or even know the process. Her lack of communication and her aggressiveness is very concerning. She was more worried about getting her final payment. Even though she had never completed the job. Then she was actually giving sound advice. She has devastated and ruined our family due to her incompetence and misinformation and even when we reached out to try and bring this to light she is now replied to Email with lies saying things that are simply not true that we have proof of do not trust her

I am going through a complex custody battle. Michael knows when to go in guns blazing, but only when necessary. He will fight like hell for you even if it’s an uphill battle. He is very attentive to detail, and will pick apart the details until the truth is revealed. He’s aggressive when need be, but on the other hand so, so kind. He knows the law, unlike several other attorneys that I’ve encountered, and will quickly call out and explain his objection. Not once has the judge disagreed with his argument in our case. It’s not over until it’s over with Michael. He has helped in the past, and he is not , IMO, rough around the edges. He’s very compassionate in what he does. He will hug you when needed, but also be honest with you. He’s not a pushy attorney, and will often tell you to think about it before hiring him. I love this about him! Rhonda and Tamara are also a great help! I’ll continue to use Michael, and if you’re in the midst of an impending custody/divorce issue; I suggest that you do too!

I didn't realize how busy Attorney Caldwell was and my family felt I should retain a backup Attorney. Since I was under financial duress I took their advice and sought out the best. My main choice was an ex Judge, but she was unavailable, because her husband was ill and she was not able to take on any more cases, She recommended me to an ex district attorney who had gone into private practice. I did my research and found out he was one of the best and I called my family and told him what the deal was and they say okay okay call him and hire him. I called him and explain my situation I asked him about my attorney or I believe he asked me who is my attorney was and once I told him attorney Gene Caldwell, this ex prosecutor well known told me that he could not do no better than Gene Caldwell. That's how good he is. Since then I have recommended him to a lot of people everyone has been satisfied.

After going to court a few times Mr. Caldwell came to me and said im going to talk to the DA and get this case thrown out. I was so greatful and surprised.

Mr. Caldwell not only has been a respectful person but he has been a person I can truly trust he has been there and worked very fast on whatever I was needing in the help of my current case. He is by far the best lawyer in my eyes he takes away the stress of having to worry about your case because he makes sure he fights for you to the end. He is highly respected and I know he will have my business if I ever need him again and I would refer him over any attorney in Tyler. He is affordable and he gets the job done just as good as anyone else I know .

Christina is absolutely the worst lawyer ever. During your consultation she sounds amazing and all and then once you hire her, she’s no help whatsoever and doesn’t care anymore about your situation. If I could give her 0 stars I would. I only talked to her maybe once and the rest of the time I talked to everyone else in the building instead of the actual attorney I hired!!!! DO NOT HIRE.

Ms. Davis was no better than a Legal-Aid attorney. Poor communication with her client. Rude and sassy with a constant attitude. This Law Firm in general has serious ethical issues. She made all kinds of promises and threw a great sales pitch to get me to hire her. However, once hired she was as useless as a used car salesman. Horrible experience with her and this entire firm.

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.
