Sean Lyons and his team at Lyons and Lyons handled my case thoroughly, efficiently, and in a timely manner. With any legal case there are no guarantees of success but working with Sean Lyons & his staff I had confidence I had chosen the right attorney. They kept me informed every step of the process. I highly recommend Lyons & Lyons if you are seeking justice for medical malpractice.

From the beginning, Sean and his team explained the process of a wrongful death caused by medical malpractice lawsuit in great detail and about Texas Law for these types of cases. Sean is extremely knowledgeable and his passion for his work is very evident. Sean treated me with respect and I appreciated his honesty, and he made himself available when I had specific questions or concerns. Lisa, the Litigation Paralegal, was very good about keeping me informed throughout each step and relaying updates throughout the process of my case. I highly recommend Lyons & Lyons, PC if you are seeking justice for medical malpractice.

I never expected such a personalized experience from a law firm. They tailored their strategy specifically for my slip and fall incident, focusing on details that mattered the most. It's refreshing to see such a client-centric approach.

If you want an excellent attorney who will fight for you, then you need to hire Mr. Parra with the Parra Law Firm. He and his staff are super helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable! I hired Mr. Parra to represent me in a car accident case. I was hit by another driver and suffered all sort of injuries!Mr. Parra fought for me every step of the way and got me way more than I could imagine.

I had a multi-disciplinary legal matter last year. Although the allegations were without merit I was afraid of the potential consequences for myself and my family. Mr. Parra met with me and was able to calm some of those fears. He immediately went to work on my case and Within days he was getting results. My legal problems were completely resolved in a much shorter time than I expected with the best possible outcome and the price was reasonable. I’ve recommended several clients to Mr. Parra who have received the same care and treatment with similar results. The Parra Law Firm is now the only Law firm I recommend for San Antonio and surrounding areas.

Right from the start I felt comfortable with Ms. Ramirez and after a few moments in her office I knew that her competence and expertise were top notch. She took the time to get to know me and my entire situation before discussing a plan of action. She explained every option in detail and to my level of understanding and offered her insight on things I hadn’t even considered. She handled my case with an exceptional level of confidence and followed through with every detail of the case to my absolute approval. I would highly recommend Ms. Ramirez to anyone looking for a divorce lawyer, I walked away 100% satisfied with the outcome!

Ericka was very diligent in gathering the information necessary to support my case and obtain a favorable outcome. She explained the process along the way and I always felt confident in her representation. She came to the hearing prepared and had educated herself well on my injuries. The outcome was in my favor and I know having her as my attorney was a major reason.

Ms. Criswell represented us in a frivolous lawsuit, in which we were defendants. She navigated through the ridiculous and endless amounts of red tape. When it finally got to the point where we went to trial, it was as if a Terminator took over. To say that she eviscerated the plaintiff on the stand is an understatement. She was so thorough, so laser-accuracy direct, that the judgment came back in 15 minutes - in OUR favour. She cut through all the horse hockey and clearly exposed the whole case for what it was: a frivolous and pointless lawsuit. She also made the plaintiff's irritating lawyer look pretty foolish, too! ;-) We **** HIGHLY RECOMMEND **** Ms. Criswell!

I had the privilege of having Dr. Baez represent my husband on a parole revocation case. I must say his dedication to his clients is unparalleled. From the moment I sought his counsel, it was evident that he was not just another attorney, but a fierce advocate for justice. He leaves no stone unturned in pursuit of the best possible outcome. We achieved a favorable resolution in our case. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone in need of legal representation. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight tirelessly for your rights, look no further than Dr. Baez, he is a champion for justice.

Dr. Baez has been an invaluable gift from God! We connected through my family that know him personally from church. Dr. Baez has provided me with a fatherly-guidance since the first day we met. A true mentor with an extensive understanding of Biblical teachings that always appear customized for you specifically. I have been reminded by Dr. Baez what a true Man of God says and does in daily life once again. To say that this man is a stellar lawyer truly does not do him justice. His approach to each case displays a surgical precision like no other! Dr. Baez will forever be in my family prayers. We are truly grateful for this Warrior of God to be a part of our lives! Thank you, Dr. Baez, for everything you have done for me and my family!

I was originally appointed to Mr. Ketner and he ended up being the best if not one of the best lawyers I've had the pleasure to deal with and of course to represent me. I had been dealing with this particular case for over a year before I met Travis, once he took over he kept me well informed of my rights and my options in the case.. Two months later case was closed!!!
I hired Travis for a separate case, 5 months later he got the case dismissed!!!

Mr. Pina was very thorough and respectful throughout my consultation. He took the time to carefully listen and understand my legal matter. He was very professional and made me feel like a very important client. I have met with other attorneys and he stands out above them all with his knowledge and experience in handling legal issues. At this time I have not decided to take further legal action but I will not hesitate to contact Mr. Pina if I decide too. He treated me like family.

Ricky Poole handled 3 cases for me. Two (2) cases involving employment issues and both were resolve beyond my satisfaction. Ricky is a very intelligent , knows his business, and most of all is very honest. He has been my attorney since 1993. The other case was a personal case and the results were also excellent. I have recommended him to 3 other people and they also got results to their satisfaction. I can not say enough about Ricky and highly recommend him.

One of my family members made a poor decision—something out of character, with no harm to anyone but themselves. Barton & Associates not only eased my fears and anxieties during a very stressful time but also achieved a resolution that felt nothing short of God’s grace.

Without getting into specifics about our daughter's particular case, Matthew combined the "needed" traits in our situation of being straight-forward and compassionate. Over a period of approximately nine months, he represented our daughter very well and ensured the best outcome for her future. He clearly had a thorough command of the law and knew how to work professionally and effectively in legal proceedings. Now with the matter resolved, our daughter is extremely grateful and embarking toward a promising future. One year ago, this was not even a sliver of hope. Matthew - thank you very much.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Absolutely THE problem when it comes to attorneys this day and age.(maybe it’s just with men). If you want a game where you're being strung along and billed forever playing the rollercoaster game with you and your children's life instead of evidence being presented in a costly/timely and empathetic manner THIS IS YOUR GUY. Mr. Bancroft, i just got off the phone with you where you hung up on me stating that I’m threatening you. Get over your ego and realize that your business as a practicing attourney needs realignment. I wrote you about a standing invoice you provided totaling to less than the amount that Ive paid to you months prior with no response. After speaking to your paralegal, then being transferred to your “billing dept.” and speaking to them I was provided with a newer invoice…..with newer charges, where whomever was working before had originally just simply “forgot to send me the invoice”….what a convenient coincidence. After speaking with her, I was transferred to you where I had a conversation with your ego. Well, from the little guy(s) down here Mr. Bancroft, do whats right and fabricating invoices to skip out on paying balances owed on any moneys paid to you for the services that you DID NOT PROVIDE are just not that. Client paid $1750 in retainer fees(half of your 3500 to get the case started) and had to chase said attourney down for enquiries with little to no communications outside of ones that were initiated by me/client, INCLUDING in person conversation with YOU where I unexpectedly paid a visit to your office in August after I could not successfully contact anyone and asked about a status of my case. You did not recall my case by name until we went to your office and you searched my name.(keep in mind, this is three months after contracting). Attourney invoicing per attourney-client portals all state work for balance of $753, with latest payment from client being $631 in October.(this never happened, only payment made was the initial one and didn't make another due to subpar and in my opinion MALPRACTICAL, I'm aware that isn't an official word, service). After a few months of calling and majorly being placed on hold, back and forth’s with promises of returned calls or motions with paralegals, multiples of them and finally being frustrated with the reality of paying an attourney and not being fought for……while fighting a vindictive situation with my children as a GREAT DAD I asked for an explanation stating that if I did not hear anything as ai had been I wanted to discontinue services and be refunded via message inside of the client portal, I THEN was given a response…..but not with accountability, not with a plan of action, not to communicate any valuable evidence or structured plan of action, but to speak downward of me on the “dismal” months of non-payment……….ultimately this attourney demanded I paid him his past due amount, in addition to totals for mediations that hadn't even been had yet to avoid him WITHDRAWING. Needless to say I attended the mediation PRO SE, paid the mediator directly. I’m now on maximum state mandated child support and standard visitation for the children I equally raised because the relationship did not work out with their mother…finally divorced none the less. All of the evidence in the world to fight that good fight never presented, never saw a represented court setting, money just wasted and thank GOD I demanded a standard or it could have been MUCH MUCH worse financially. Contracted with this attourney on 5/24/2024….attourney withdrew as of 11/5/2024, yet they have still attempted to withdraw payment from my bank as of latest, 12/19/2024…….this was my SECOND attourney over a course of what I recall as a 3 year nightmare……I can confidently say, this is whats wrong with the family law system! Will edit with photo documentation when I have time.

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank Mr. Abel Dominguez and his team at The Law Office of Abel Dominguez for their exceptional help with my custody case involving my sons. Before working with Mr. Dominguez, I had a disappointing experience with a previous law firm that overcharged me significantly and failed to deliver the results I needed. However, when Mr. Dominguez took over my case. Everything changed for the better.
From the very beginning, Mr. Dominguez was eager to help and quickly understood how important my children’s safety and well-being were to me. His kindness, understanding, and genuine desire to fight for my family gave me hope and confidence during a challenging time.
When it came to court, Mr. Dominguez was incredibly methodical and well-prepared. Every time the opposing attorney tried to throw challenges his way, he was ready. His wisdom, professionalism, and ability to stay ahead were invaluable in resolving the case and ensuring my children’s safety.
Not only did Mr. Dominguez delivered outstanding legal representation, but he also did so at a very reasonable price, especially compared to my previous experience. He worked with me and showed great compassion, making it clear that he truly cares about his clients and their families.
I also want to commend Ms. B, his secretary, who is an incredible asset to the firm. She was always responsive, helpful, and attentive to every detail of my case. Her professionalism and dedication made the process much smoother, and I can’t thank her enough.
Mr. Dominguez and his team went above and beyond for me and my sons, and I will always be grateful. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to handle your case with care, professionalism, and expertise, I highly recommend The Law Office of Abel Dominguez. Trust the process, follow their guidance, and know that they will fight for you just as they did for me.
I also want to bless their business with this scripture:
"May Yahuah (God is My Salvation) bless you and guard you; may Yahuah make His face shine upon you and show favor to you; may Yahuah lift up His face upon you and give you peace." (Numbers 6:24-26)
Thank you again, Mr. Dominguez and Ms. B, for everything you’ve done for me and my family.

Excelente bufete de abogados para cualquier tema migratorio. Traté con varios de ellos ya que ellos llevaron mi caso cuando aplique para la residencia (Faye Kolly y Claudia Baellow), y también cuando apliqué para la ciudadanía (Claudia Baellow y Linda Garcia)
Jamás tuve un problema o diferencia con ellas. Contestaron todas mis preguntas, llamadas, correos electrónicos y demás. Aún cuando pregunté lo mismo varias veces. Aún cuando se me olvidaron cosas que ya me habían dicho, etc, etc. Toda la comunicación puede ser en español con ellas si es necesario. O en ambos idiomas.
Las he recomendado con toda confianza a varias amistades y familiares para sus preguntas y trámites migratorios. Hasta las he recomendado a extraños que preguntan "alguien sabe de algún abogado de migración...".

Questions? We have answers
What a Civil Rights Lawyer Can Do for You
A civil rights lawyer focuses on protecting individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated by government authorities, employers, or private organizations. These lawyers specialize in cases involving discrimination, police misconduct, freedom of speech, and other fundamental rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws, such as the Civil Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Fair Housing Act.
Whether you've been discriminated against due to race, gender, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics, or you believe your civil rights have been violated by a government entity, a civil rights lawyer can help you seek justice, hold wrongdoers accountable, and secure compensation for any harm you've suffered.
When Should I Hire a Civil Rights Lawyer?
You should hire a civil rights lawyer when your constitutional rights or other protected rights have been violated, and you need legal assistance to seek justice. Some key situations in which you may need a civil rights lawyer include:
- Employment discrimination: If you have faced discrimination at work based on race, gender, age, religion, national origin, or disability, a civil rights lawyer can help you file claims under laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Police misconduct or brutality: If you were the victim of police brutality, unlawful arrest, racial profiling, or other forms of misconduct, a lawyer can help you file a lawsuit for violations of your Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
- Freedom of speech or assembly violations: If your First Amendment rights to free speech or peaceful assembly have been restricted by the government, a civil rights lawyer can represent you in challenging the violation.
- Housing discrimination: If you’ve been denied housing or faced unfair treatment due to your race, ethnicity, gender, or disability, a lawyer can help you file a complaint under the Fair Housing Act.

What Does a Civil Rights Lawyer Do?
A civil rights lawyer provides legal representation and advocacy to individuals whose rights have been violated. Their work can include:
- Filing lawsuits: A civil rights lawyer can represent you in court by filing lawsuits against individuals, businesses, or government entities that violated your rights.
- Advocating for policy changes: Civil rights lawyers often engage in advocacy work, pushing for reforms to laws and policies that infringe upon people's rights.
- Representing clients in discrimination claims: These lawyers help clients file claims with federal or state agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
- Negotiating settlements: In many cases, civil rights lawyers work to negotiate settlements for their clients before a case goes to trial, securing compensation for damages such as lost wages, emotional distress, or legal fees.
- Defending freedom of expression: Lawyers may represent clients whose rights to free speech, assembly, or protest were violated by government restrictions or other actions.
- Handling appeals: If your civil rights case has been decided but you wish to appeal the ruling, a civil rights lawyer can help you through the appeals process.
How Are Civil Rights Lawyers Paid?
Civil rights lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

- Hourly rate: For cases that require extensive legal research or litigation, some lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Pro bono or sliding scale: Some civil rights lawyers or organizations may work on a pro bono (free) basis or use a sliding fee scale for clients who cannot afford typical legal fees.
- Flat fee: In specific cases, a lawyer may charge a flat fee for services like drafting legal documents or filing a complaint.
It’s important to clarify the fee structure during your initial consultation to avoid unexpected costs.

Top Questions to Ask a Civil Rights Lawyer
Before hiring a civil rights lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with civil rights cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s employment discrimination, police misconduct, or First Amendment violations. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer works on a contingency fee basis, hourly rate, or flat fee, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case. -
What is the likelihood of success for my case?
Ask the lawyer to provide an honest assessment of your case, including the strengths, weaknesses, and potential outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Inquire about the lawyer’s experience in cases with similar facts and legal issues. -
What is the timeline for resolving my case?
While exact timelines can vary, ask for an estimate of how long your case may take, from filing to resolution. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may work on parts of your case, so it’s important to know who will handle your legal matter directly.
How to Check the Credibility of a Civil Rights Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable civil rights lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for specific civil rights experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in civil rights law and have a history of handling cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience with civil rights cases.
- Check for advocacy or nonprofit work: Lawyers involved with civil rights organizations, such as the ACLU or NAACP Legal Defense Fund, may have a strong reputation in the civil rights legal community.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a civil rights lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- A detailed account of the violation: Provide a written summary of the events, including dates, times, and any people involved in the violation of your rights.
- Documentation and evidence: Bring any supporting documentation, such as emails, letters, photos, or video footage that may help prove the violation of your rights.
- Records of complaints or reports: If you’ve filed complaints with a government agency or reported the violation, bring copies of those documents.
- List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes of your case.
- Information on damages or harm: Be prepared to discuss the harm you’ve suffered due to the violation, such as emotional distress, financial loss, or physical injury.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
