I rarely give reviews but Lauren is God sent! Lauren gladly took my case after my previous lawyer was unable to finalize my case for over 6 months. She took up my case and finalized it within just a week, she is a good listener, gives a detailed legal opinion and very supportive. Lauren and her staff communicated clearly and promptly. Her expertise and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you Lauren for you outstanding service.

This lawyer is money driven with no compassion to add to her clients/cases. Lauren has deleted all negative reviews to maintain an image that’s not true. I feel, Lauren focuses on cases that’s going to make her a lot of money while taking from the “lesser amount” cases.
My case with Lauren was rushed through with little to no explanation. For a first timer, going through a custody battle, my experience was horrible. I lacked communication with my lawyer. Mediation was scheduled at the last minute, for her convenience, and it was rushed. Things I requested, that I have in an email sent by her confirming this portion will be incorporated, never was added to my final agreement.
Make sure to ask questions and take your time. Your voice matters. Don’t let a lawyer rush you through a divorce and/or child support agreement. This is my experience and mine only. Please take notes from my review so you don’t get the same treatment, I received.

Selecting Lauren as my lawyer was the BEST decision!!! Ending one chapter after 30+ years was hard, but Lauren was a blessing. I was overwhelmed in every way. Lauren made the process simple, clear, and bearable. If you want a lawyer that has your back, knows her stuff, and delivers great results, see Lauren. Divorce finalized, now on with the next chapter. THANK YOU LAUREN!!!

Dear Lee,
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the incredible work performed by the Calabrese Budner Law Firm. Specifically, your unwavering strength, expertise, and commitment were truly impressive, and I cannot be more grateful. From the beginning of my divorce proceedings, you demonstrated not only a deep understanding of family law, but also the relentless drive to protect my financial interest. Your strategic guidance, timeliness efforts, and calm under pressure made all the difference, and I couldn’t have achieved this wonderful victory without you.
Forever grateful 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I was in desperate need of a divorce lawyer, but I did not know how to go about choosing a lawyer that best suited my needs. I had done multiple internet searches, asked for referrals, and even tried to proceed with the divorce by myself without legal help twice. Still, I always found myself in a situation too intricate and challenging to overcome. However, after unexpectedly discovering and seeing the large illuminated sign in the lobby of the building where this law office is located, which said, “Divorce. Simplified,” I knew that this was what I needed, simplification.
After contacting this law office, I received prompt and empathetic assistance for my divorce. The team quickly offered solutions and connected me with a paralegal, Amanda, who thoroughly outlined the journey ahead. Both Amanda and Chris were instrumental, accessible, and practical throughout the process. Their support helped me successfully achieve what I sought, and for that, I am eternally grateful. Thank you.

Morgan and her assistant were so thorough in explaining and clarifying all our questions and doubts. The whole process from contacting them the very first time, consulting and filling out the forms and finally going into the office for signing was a quick and easy process which happens in a week or two. Any amendments needed were catered to immediately with no hassles. Most of all they were very welcoming and friendly. Thank you for all your help!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Morgan Gill for the creation of our will and trust, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service provided. From the very beginning, she displayed an exceptional level of professionalism and expertise. Morgan took the time to thoroughly explain the legal concepts, ensuring we fully understood each aspect of our estate plan. The process was efficient and stress-free, thanks to her meticulous attention to detail and clear communication. We felt truly cared for and confident in the choices we made. I highly recommend Morgan to anyone in need of estate planning services. Their outstanding support and legal acumen made all the difference.

Don Hood is the 💣 attorney for bankruptcy. He’s prompt at replying to silly questions and is always available to answer them. It was a very fast process and he was awesome with the entire process. I can be very inquisitive but he’s patient and knows his stuff. It’s funny how we both have the same last name but are not related . I would highly recommend him if you’ve exhausted all other avenues with your debt. It was a painless experience because of him.

Charged my sister over 4500 to file chapter 13 when she's already lost everything in a divorce and to the IRS. Sort these reviews by lowest star and you'll find the real ones. Notice all the 5 star are written by someone who just had an initial conversation. Or never reviewed anyone until now. Or my personal favorite, a DOCTOR WHO FILED BANKRUPTCY with these guys? Look at this smart ass response to a one star review. Disgusting.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Stephanie Rhima represent my son during one of the most challenging times of his life. He was wrongfully accused of causing the tragic death of his very good friend in an unfortunate incident. The trauma he experienced from watching his friend pass away in his car, his efforts to revive her, and the overwhelming interactions with authorities were beyond anything we could have imagined. When the deceased's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against my son, it added even more to his emotional burden.
Stephanie was not only highly professional but also deeply compassionate. She handled my son's emotional state with such sensitivity while effectively dealing with the opposing counsel, ultimately convincing them to withdraw the lawsuit. Her kindness and expertise were a source of great comfort to our family, and we are forever grateful for her advocacy. Thank you, Stephanie, for standing by my son and our family during such a difficult time.

Mona is extremely knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend her and the Goranson Bain Ausley firm.

Going through a divorce is an emotional and complex thing to endure. Having the support of a positive, thoughtful, and caring lawyer is key. Esther and Jill made a very tough situation manageable. They were extremely organized and their support was unwavering. They turned an emotional process into a manageable endeavor. Esther’s empathy and understanding helped me in more ways that just what a typical lawyer would do. My divorce was finalized in a few months because of the constant support of Esther and Jill. While I pray no one has to go through a divorce; if you are in that situation I highly recommend Esther Donald and the team at Goranson Bain Ausley.

Paulette Mueller made my grandmothers estate go broke, made her delinquent on her taxes (simply did not file) cancelled our homeowners insurance and accepted only roughly 8k on a full coverage 250k+ policy which has led to black mold growing in the home my grandparents built by hand making my baby very sick. Made disgusting remarks about our home upon inspection in regards to a guardianship proceeding while we remained polite and courteous despite the situation, and now, at the ripe age of 21 I am in therapy full time over the horrific consequences she and (others involved) caused that have now fallen upon my shoulders. I am utterly disappointed, and heartbroken. I will never be the same. My grandmother died in vain, under ungodly amounts of stress. May God guide Paulette to have a heart full of empathy and compassion towards her future victims. Only the Lord knows the amount of trauma and havoc she reaped on my beautiful grandmother. May God guide her to remain in a mindset of kindness, and fairness, as I wouldn’t wish this turmoil on anyone. But as my grandmother would want me to live, I forgive her. I only hope for her growth and progress in a positive direction for the future. I. Will. Never. Be. The. Same. I am gone. At the age of 21, I am now a shell of who I once was. The person that raised me from diapers, put me into college, got my first car, carried herself in such a generous and Godly manner, died in vain. May God rest her beautiful soul, because now her pain and stressors have become an everyday part of my life. The only human beings that loved me unconditionally, my grandparents(parents), are now dead and gone forever, and I am alone in this scary world. I hope Paulette can see my review as more than a mere critique but an insight to my new reality, and hopefully, some of what I said will invite a new presence of good faith to her future clients, not only for the benefit of them, but for her conscious as well. I was just a kid. God, what did we do to deserve this?

Mary Beth Sullivan is inept and passive.
I hired Mary Beth to represent me in a Child Support Modification Case. At best she allowed opposing counsel to set the tone and pace. By the end of the Pre-Trial I was in a worse position that when we started. As a result of her poor decisions and incompetence, I realized that I needed to start over and find another lawyer. As a suggestion, please ask for references and outcomes of a cases similar to yours before hiring her.

I cannot express my appreciation adequately enough for how Meyer Friedman Reed PLLC has helped our family.
Over a year ago I got a red light ticket in Dallas and Meyer Friedman Reed got it dismissed.
So when my daughter had an issue with old tickets and warrants Meyer Friedman Reed tackled them and ALL OF MY DAUGHTERS tickets were dismissed.
They have become a good friend to our family.
The most honest straightforward wonderful people is their entire firm.
The paralegals, Delilah, all the lady’s over the last few months have been incredible
I’ll never be able to thank them enough
Thank you Meyer Friedman Reed for being REAL, and the wonderful people you are

I wanted to file for divorce immediately from my narcissistic husband and I needed an attorney. I found Mark on this site! Read his reviews and had to give him a call. He scheduled my consultation right away and immediately I knew he was the right Attorney for me! He is smart, well versed in the Texas law, and does not overcharge you like other attorneys! If anything I appreciated all of his honesty. He is upfront with everything - good or bad! I moved to a different state I'm the middle of the divorce to take a job and he still stayed on top of everything! My contested divorce ended up in court and Mark ran circles around my ex's attorney! He was AWESOME! Because of Mark I am finally free ! I would hire h all over again!

My experience with Alison as my divorce attorney was very positive! She helped me get what was best for my daughter and I which included custody, home, temp orders, etc. She was not intimidated by my husband or his lawyer and was there by my side every inch. Alison did not exaggerate her fees either. Choose Alison and you will not be disappointed.

What a Child Custody Lawyer Can Do for You
A child custody lawyer specializes in helping parents navigate legal matters related to the custody and care of their children, particularly in the context of divorce, separation, or other family disputes. These lawyers assist with determining custody arrangements, drafting parenting plans, and advocating for your rights in court. They also help resolve disputes over physical custody (where the child lives), legal custody (who makes decisions for the child), visitation rights, and modifications to existing custody orders.
Whether you're going through a divorce or need to change an existing custody arrangement, a child custody lawyer can help you understand your rights and protect your child's best interests throughout the legal process.
When Should I Hire a Child Custody Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a child custody lawyer in several situations, especially when disputes arise or complex legal issues affect your parental rights. Some common reasons to hire a child custody lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: If you're going through a divorce or separation and need to establish custody and visitation arrangements, a lawyer can help ensure the custody order reflects your child's best interests.
- Disputed custody cases: If you and the other parent cannot agree on custody or visitation terms, a lawyer can advocate for your rights in court and help you develop a strong case.
- Modification of custody orders: If you need to change an existing custody arrangement due to changes in circumstances (e.g., relocation, changes in the child’s needs), a lawyer can help file a modification request.
- Parental alienation: If the other parent is interfering with your relationship with your child, a lawyer can help address these issues through legal action.
- Domestic violence or abuse: If there is a history of domestic violence or abuse, a lawyer can help protect you and your child by requesting restraining orders and advocating for appropriate custody arrangements.
- Grandparent or third-party custody: If you are a grandparent or another relative seeking custody or visitation rights, a lawyer can guide you through the legal process.
- Paternity disputes: In cases where paternity is in question, a lawyer can assist with establishing or challenging paternity, which may affect custody and visitation rights.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help protect your parental rights and ensure that the custody arrangement is in your child's best interests.
