10 stars for Ryan Horner. I fell victim to a ponzee scheme and needed an honest attorney willing to cut it to me straight.
Ryan did exactly that! He looked into my situation thoroughly before taking any of my money and gave me an extremely honest opinion of what I would be in for should I choose to proceed.
I have a bad taste in my mouth for civil lawyers as they tend to bleed you dry until you are all in to no avail and create further trauma.
I have followed advice to go for restitution in criminal proceedings for the moment but I would hire him in a heart beat had I not been able to tackle the criminal side.
The world needs more people like Ryan.

Unfortunately, I have had experience with many attorneys. From my experience some attorneys will drag on your case so they can pay off a car payment, other attorneys are more concerned about their invoice then about your case and finally there are some that don’t have a strong grasp of what you case requires and will take it on lose the case for you but they get paid either way. After so many negative experiences, I hired Mr. Papaliodis. My cases were complicated and intertwined with one another but Mr. Papaliodis was honest of the possible outcomes and he confidently took them on without hesitation. He was always straightforward. He was always available when I needed him and answered my questions. We will be forever grateful. I am truly grateful that I found him and only wish to have found him sooner. Mr. Papaliodis is knowledgeable, straightforward, reliable, and honest attorney. I highly recommend him!!!!!

I came to Louis as a referral. Upon hearing my ordeal he gave me options. But he seemed very apprehensive. He wasn't really sure of himself. He also looked pre occupied with something else. His office was very messy. I eventually went to another attorney who took my case. The person who referred me to him told me he would be good. He was wrong. I was very disappointed.

Mr. Papaliodis was recommended to me by a friend. He has talked to me many times to give me information regarding the guardianship of my mother. He helped me to get guardianship of my mother and is still helping me in the matters of this guardianship.

Sharon Giraud,
Represented me in my child custody case against the state of Texas in 2023. This was a very long drawn out process, with a lot of emphasis on my emotions during this time; due to being in the process of recovering from alcoholism. I participated in a program that Ms Giraud had recommended, “ Family Recovery Court.” Admittedly, this was not an easy task, along with this came a tremendous amount of uncertainty, and just some plain out of the ordinary instances were brought upon our path along the process of this CPS case! We, stood strong as she lead the way. It was a lengthy case, very time consuming which required being prepared & present every other Friday & quite possibly more if needed on my behalf. I would have to say I was grateful for the opportunity to have Sharon Giraud as my representative for this case. She is very thoughtful, thorough, and knowledgeable. Her mannerisms were excellent, she is very responsive, punctuality is great! The presentation to judge, as well as her professionalism had been very positive work. I think that my attitude towards the process of “Family Recovery Court “ was changed by the direction given from, Ms Giraud, she supported me and encouraged me entirely throughout the case. Fortunately, with her support I was provided a very different perspective and given her ingenuity on what I would refer to being more optimistic or openness, it enabled me to face my fears head on, fight for what I love. I completed recovery court, graduated, and most importantly regained custody of my beautiful 10 year old daughter. So, I highly recommend “ Sharon Giraud “as a legal counsel for “ANY” matters seeking concerns that are wanted to be addressed honestly, fair, respectfully, & genuine.

If you are looking for exceptional representation from an experienced lawyer who will be your guide though the exceedingly complicated and highly emotional dealings of family law, you need to call Mr Bailey. My son hired Mr. Bailey for a very complicated custody case. Mr Bailey listened and heard every concern from both my son & myself. Throughout life I have known many attorneys, none have impressed me more than Mr Bailey. Mr Bailey understands when it comes to family law there are two costs involved; the financial costs and the emotional costs. I found that Mr Bailey’s fees are minimal when you consider all you are getting with his representation. With family law there is typically a plethora of emotions, the psychological toll, which tends to run high and experienced by the family involved. My son’s case was very hard on his emotions. I admired how Mr Bailey’s calm approach and disposition helped ease my son’s anxiety throughout the case. His approach to family law is totally client-centered and seems to be based on the belief that his clients and their children deserve the best opportunity for a happy, healthy and productive life beyond the high emotions of custody cases.
Mr Bailey’s clients will benefit from his professionalism and vast knowledge of family law. The insight he has gained from his experience and extensive work in family law gives him an understanding and ability to see the case through a multifaceted lens. Mr Bailey gave my son realistic and candid advice, not some rehearsed line which promises you a hyped up great outcome (false hopes) to suck you into a costly and drawn out case. If you have expectations of your lawyer to be knowledgeable, hardworking, and communicative then Mr Bailey is the attorney you are seeking. Mr Bailey will keep you apprised on the details of the case, while explaining the different options you can take, putting you in the drivers seat. Mr. Bailey is an advocate for single fathers, explaining to my son that fathers are essential and play a vital role in a child’s life. What really stood out was that Mr Bailey has also achieved an AV Preeminent 5.0 out of 5 Peer Review Rating! He not only has great reviews from his clients, his peers also see the value of his great work.

I hired Ms.Giraud to help me with a small Estate Affidavit in April. She did send off paperwork, but was told it needed corrections. Didn't hear anything from her. In June she needed the witnesses to resign......come July one of the witnesses told me she didn't get the paperwork to sign. I made sure it was signed!. In September Ms Girauld told me a judge won't sign off on the Affidavit and she needed to check with another lawyer as to what to do. Needless to say...I'm done. I texted her every week to check on progress.....most weeks I never heard a word! Wasted $600!!!!!!!

I wouldn’t recommend him to NOBODY especially if African American he definitely not for our people. My Dad hired him When I was ask my dad to hire Ed Jones or Mark Scott The only way you can talk to him or his assistant is if you’re making a payment which is $1000 for him to even pick up the phone and listen to you my father paid him $4000 within a month only speaking with him four times over the phone promising my family i while receive time serve on my case, but he never came to see me never spoke to or anyone they tried to reach out and ask questions or update on my case when I went to court, he recommended I bond out after briefing my dad out his money… then walk away !! He is definitely The Jail House Grinch 👎🏾

I hope folks read this before anyone makes the grave mistake of hiring this firm before shopping around, like my in-laws did. I’m not an attorney in Texas, but I am an attorney in another state, and I can say that what has been described to me about this firm is egregious.
First, they seem to have a paralegal who doesn’t understand that she’s not a lawyer (despite the fact that she’s apparently never been to law school and is not a member of the Bar) and she may be engaging in the unauthorized practice of law.
Next, this firm doesn’t appear to do the bare minimum right out of the gate in civil dependency cases or family law cases, such as ensuring visitation with children.
Last, but most certainly not least, it appears they take cases they’re not even remotely competent to handle, such as felony criminal defense cases. If true, this would be a violation of the ethical obligation lawyers have to provide competent representation. This firm, by all appearances, cares only about collecting your money and not about actually advocating for their clients.
If you need an excellent criminal defense lawyer, talk to Cofer & Luster.
Even if these Tumo Law people do have some experience, it doesn’t look like they’re any good. If you need a family law attorney, you may want to shop around if you care to have high-quality representation.

This guy is lazy and incompetent. Didn’t a do a thing for me in my divorce that I couldn’t do myself. He didn’t fight for me, all he did was acquiesce to my ex’s lawyer as if he just didn’t care. I wouldn’t recommend this POS to anyone. Spend your money on a good lawyer, not this joke.

I wish I had a rave review to leave. I hired Tyler at a very challenging time in my life. After talking, hiring and telling him what I was wanting to accomplish in my custody battle and what I already had custody wise going in was nothing compared to what I got coming out. I got less than I initially had to begin with all because I trusted someone that was more knowledgeably than I on the issue. Please know exactly what your signing for in depth before you sign because I didn't and now I'm stuck for a year with my current orders and cant do a thing to get it modified now that I know exactly what they mean. Oh and good luck with him returning messages or calls.

I had the pleasure of working with John Paul Chidgey, and I must say that he is one of the best attorneys I have come across. He is affordable, doesn't compromises on the quality of his work. He fights hard for his clients and doesn't shy away from taking on the opposition. Unlike some attorneys I have dealt with in the past, he has a human element and genuinely cares about his clients. He's not a sociopath like some of them! John understands the emotions involved in legal battles and is always willing to listen and provide guidance. I highly recommend John Paul Chidgey to anyone in need of legal services.

I signed a contract with Garrick to be represented back in December 2018. Upon payment of the retainer, I rarely heard back from Garrick on the status of my case. I had to proactively reach out to him for information instead of him keeping me updated.
I felt scammed since there almost was no representation of my case. 16 months later I still don't know where I stand and I'm now out the retainer payment. I hope he doesn't represent all of his clients this way.
I wouldn't recommend Garrick to any friends or family that is looking for a lawyer in the DFW area.

Mr Petrovich listened to everything I had to say and then explained my options.

I contacted George Petrovich to discuss a motor vehicle accident case that occurred to me. In the initial consultation he described the entire process that would typically happen and the options available to me. 1. I handle the case myself 2. He consults with me on an hourly basis, or 3. He handles the case for me entirely. I chose the 3rd option and did not regret it at all. Each item he initially described occurred almost exactly as he described it, from obtaining billing records, to negotiations, to medical insurance settlements, to the final outcome. And the entire case was settled in almost the exact timeframe he estimated at the beginning. The settlement reached was very close to his initial estimate as well. He is very thorough, very detail oriented, and is very easy to contact when I had any questions. I hope I am never involved in another accident or in need of an attorney, but if I am, I would definitely retain Mr. Petrovich again.

I used him to represent me in a divorce. He communicated any and ALL information to me involving my case, but over and over again. He would forget that he had already told me the same information and 15 minute meetings would lead to 3 hour meetings, which I was billed for. He ran through more than $17,000 of my retainer with no results. I would NEVER recommend him to anyone. I found and switched to another who got me results in a matter of weeks and am still with that same lawyer!

My wife and I hired her to represent us in a real estate lawsuit initiated by the buyer of our home. However, she failed to fully understand the responsibilities and goals entrusted to her as our attorney. She neglected to interview me, the defendant, as well as the plaintiff and key witness to ensure an accurate understanding of the facts. Furthermore, she did not utilize our retained expert witness, despite our payment for their services. Instead, she repeatedly sought continuations, unnecessarily prolonging the lawsuit.

The fact that they say it was a mistake with that statement, that means internally one of your lawyers wrote that out and thought it was a good idea because you wouldn't have accidentally sent it if it wasn't written or printed. Honestly, get a law firm that treats people like humans. Also, we need to know the lawyer's name who wrote that paper out. Protecting this person is disgusting. You should be blasting this person even if it was a mistake, which again, if it wasn't written or printed, you couldn't have made that mistake, which means at one point you thought it was a good idea.
