A fantastic litigator. What a rare find. David is a very experienced (and successful!) trial attorney that will customize a litigation plan to fit your needs and your budget. If you want an aggressive approach or the minimum response required, he listens and works with you to achieve the best result for your situation. He is a pleasure to work with.

No for Court appointed attorney!
My Son was apprehensive about receiving a court appointed attorney for a Serious charge in Williamson County. Court appointed Attorneys are known for putting very little into their clients cases.
He was absolutely right ! The day of court Gorski still had not talked with my Son , he didn’t review the pertinent videos that would have helped showed self defense & get his bond reduced and he didn’t talk to witnesses. Prior to court my Son tried to call him but he was blown off. Every time I talked with him he reminded me how busy he was handling another important case. He would say my Sons case was going to take a long time & he was very busy. He kept lying saying he was going to look at the videos & when asked did he look at the videos he said “no I’m so busy”. That’s unprofessional. Your work load (other cases) should never be your clients problem. We understood the case wasn’t going to be resolved quickly. We asked him to at least get the bond decreased. He failed at that because he wasn’t prepared & didn’t know enough about the case to justify the request for a reduced bond. He didn’t have the decency to inform my Son he wasn’t successful. He had me do it. When my son talked to him 2 months later via phone, Gorski told him he’s setting up to go to trial in January. Gorski you’re supposed to discuss this with your client before making a decision like this. My son had to ask him to schedule a bond hearing.(the Judge recommended this in court). He still hadn’t looked at the videos & he still hadn’t talked with witnesses. I advised my Son to release him. I hired an attorney (Winters & Chidester). Within 2 weeks these lawyers looked at the video, talked with my Son, sat down, showed & talked to the prosecutor to show my Sons side of the story, the prosecutor agreed after seeing the videos it’s a probable self defense case. The bond was reduced & he was released. No matter what a person’s financial barrier is, it is your duty to treat your clients with respect, dignity and due diligence. I’m a Nurse I practice this every time I work. If you can’t do this stop accepting these clients Gorski. I recommend you ask for another Lawyer if he’s assigned to you. He lacks integrity, he’s belittling, and unprofessional. I do not recommend.

This is either a very convincing internet scam, or John is a very poor lawyer. After paying his invoice I have essentially lost contact. I went to the littlefield building listed as his office online and could not find any record of Coonley law from the folks I talked to. Please choose another firm at all costs. UPDATE: after asking for a refund, John finally had the time of day to speak with me. He agreed to give me a refund for some LLC filing fees I had paid him. (He never got the filing completed). I have since been trying to follow up and actually receive said refund for over 3 weeks now, but still have had no luck. This man is an absolute scumbag and a joke of an attorney. How he is able to practice law is a crime itself. I leave this review in hopes that nobody else ever has to deal with a crook like John like I did.

Mr. Buford is an amazing lawyer and person who wants to help people in need of legal assistance. He helped me get my case dismissed and was very strong with communicating with me from start to finish during my case. He is very patient and knowledgeable lawyer, my uncle referred him to me and I am glad I hired him to defend my rights. I will 100% encourage others who need any sort of legal advice and support to hire Mr. Robert Buford as their lawyer.

From getting information incorrect on court documents, to being late to my remediation, this firm has not only dropped the ball on numerous occasions, but they market themselves as "top tier" legal firm and charge higher rates than competitors.
They have billed me when I wasn't able to contact their billing person and had to ask her to contact me (unethical tactics), and yes they have corrected it when I brought it to their attention, but the fact that they thought it was fair to charge for it in the first place, is eye opening.
They (Hembree Firm) have failed to send me important court documents that were essential to my defense, and at times, the paralegal completely forgot to pass important notes to my main lawyer. When I brought this to the attention of my lawyer, she said that I should take notes and forward them to her after speaking with the paralegal. So, with this firm, you have to double check what they do and help them connect the dots?
After my divorce was "finalized", my ex sent Hembree Law a child support check for me, and in return, I received a bill from Hembree Law in excess of another $200.00 for filing the check and another employee (names of Hembree employees charging fees are not people I have met or have knowledge of), racked time on the clock "discussing" my child support check with another paralegal. They are taking unnecessary / unrequested actions only to create extra charges.
I have been documenting their mistakes, and inappropriate charges to create a public social media post. When you hire an attorney, especially when your kids, house, and financials are on the line, it is fair expectation to want a firm that will be organized, punctual, ethical, and bill appropriately. I would not recommend Hembree Law Firm.
Allyson Swanson seems to have a great reputation, but when you sign Hembree as your representative, you are then passed on to an assigned lawyer or paralegal, and the experience is not pleasant. The outstanding reviews for Allyson, if you take a close look, are only for her volunteer work at schools etc.
Imagine showing up for your expensive mediation meeting with your lawyer and mediator, the clock strikes 9am, the room TV is on and the mediator is about to go live , and on billable hours, and your lawyer is not even present. (I have photos of me sitting at Hembree Law conference room at my scheduled mediation time, and my lawyer, Kathleen Brown, was not present).

Outstanding job on my behalf by Kathleen Brown, Jim Wilson and Amanda Mangrum. I faced a very aggressive, uncooperative, litigious opposition in my case. Kathleen stood strong against their attempts of intimidation and provided a sound, calm, professional strategic plan for getting the best outcome. She asked me to let her handle it which I did. She is an excellent advocate for men. Jim helped me navigate the early stages and gave crucial advice at key moments. They all gave good input on the law and a clear view of what the outcome could be. That allowed me to make good decisions throughout the process. By knowing the system they focused on what matters and what was realistic. They were disciplined and helped me not fall prey to distraction. Strong in court. Prepared and agile during the hearing. In the end, we won an outcome that was very much in my favor. They are winners and I appreciate them. Thank you.

Russel Frost is the Lawyer that took me seriously when no one else would. My case was regarding personal property of a lower value amount that caused other lawyers to scoff at it, because it wasn't high dollar enough for them to care. Additionally, I was located in another State while the person I intended to sue was in Texas. Which is why I needed a lawyer based in Texas to bring my issue forward.
I had sent my property out of state to a specialist to be repaired, since local services weren't up to the task. My property was being withheld and not being returned to me after paying for the repair and diagnostic services. The person holding my property had constantly ignored any text messages, emails and phone calls I sent for over two months and I finally decided to go for legal action.
I paid for a consultation and presented my issue and evidence.
Literally while on the phone, Mr.Frost immediately got to work drafting demand letters while we talked, and had them sent to the other party same day. Guess what, I got my stuff back within days of them being made aware of the letter.
I was prepared to go the distance and take my issue all the way through civil court, we had intended to present additional claims, and monetary compensation on top of it, but thankfully we were able to resolve my issue peacefully, and avoid the slugfest that is the legal system.
I can't recommend Mr.Frost and his team enough, he stuck up for me when no one else would, his rates for consultation and the whole ordeal were absolutely affordable, and had great attention to detail and communication. If you need legal help, please consider him to fight for you. He and his team will make you proud!

Kell is a delight to work with. He explains things in a way that's easy to understand and works hard for you. His office is very busy so they dont accept every case they have put in front of them but if youre lucky enough to have him represent you, he really puts up a fight for you and works tirelessly to get you the compensation you deserve. He is highly recommended by his peers and by me!

Carolyn is an excellent lawyer! She was a steady guide during what was a very difficult divorce. When I had questions and concerns she took time to address them with me and made sure I fully understood each step of the process. She was reassuring, confident, and patient, which really helped me feel like I was in good hands. Most importantly she was willing to fight when necessary but also wise to counsel when compromise and mediation were the best avenue. When things were dragging on the opposing side, she kept them moving! And I felt the billing was clear and fair. I'd highly recommend Ms. Collins to anyone seeking a truly skilled and compassionate lawyer.

I initially chose JP Law Office for my divorce case based on their reputation and the promising start I experienced. Nicolette was approachable, proactive, and seemed genuinely committed to guiding me through this challenging time. In the beginning, I felt confident that I was in good hands. Their close attention to detail and prompt responses gave me hope that my case would be handled with the utmost professionalism.
However, as the case progressed, I began to notice a concerning shift. What started as a proactive and client-focused approach gradually turned into a frustrating experience. Communication became less frequent, and important aspects of my case seemed to be overlooked or delayed.Instead we were wasting hours in not so important details. It became increasingly clear that the level of care and diligence I initially received was no longer a priority. They were managing different cases but also mine and they had no incentives to spend the hours in the relevant and important details.
Unfortunately, this decline in service had significant consequences. Not only did it lead to unnecessary delays, but it also resulted in considerable financial strain and a disastrous sentence. I had expected a higher standard of service, especially considering the costs involved. Instead, I was left feeling that my resources were wasted, with little to show for the time and money invested.

Inicialmente elegí JP Law Office para mi caso de divorcio basado en su reputación y el comienzo prometedor que experimenté. Nicolette era accesible, proactiva, y parecía genuinamente comprometida a guiarme a través de este momento difícil. Al principio, me sentí seguro de que estaba en buenas manos. Su atención a los detalles y respuestas rápidas me dieron la esperanza de que mi caso sería manejado con la mayor profesionalidad.
Sin embargo, a medida que el caso avanzaba, empecé a notar un cambio preocupante. Lo que comenzó como un enfoque proactivo y centrado en el cliente se convirtió gradualmente en una experiencia frustrante. La comunicación se hizo menos frecuente, y los aspectos importantes de mi caso parecían pasarse por alto o retrasarse, sino que perdíamos horas en detalles no tan importantes. Cada vez estaba más claro que el nivel de atención y diligencia que recibí inicialmente ya no era una prioridad. Estaban gestionando casos diferentes pero también el mío y no tenían incentivos para dedicar horas a los detalles relevantes e importantes.
Por desgracia, esta disminución del servicio tuvo consecuencias importantes. No sólo provocó retrasos innecesarios, sino que también se tradujo en una considerable presión financiera y una sentencia desastrosa. Esperaba un servicio de mayor calidad, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta los costes. En lugar de eso, me quedé con la sensación de que mis recursos se habían malgastado, con poco que demostrar por el tiempo y el dinero invertidos.
No recomendaría esta firma si lo que necesita es diligencia, cercanía y atención a los detalles durante todo el proceso.

It is important to exercise caution when considering services from this law firm. Initially, they provided encouraging information and advice that aligned with my expectations. However, as I proceeded with my chiropractic appointments, communication from them significantly dwindled over a period of 7 to 8 months.
I received a settlement offer of $3,000 for both my wife and myself, and when I inquired about pursuing a second offer, I was informed that this was the only and final amount due to the nature of my injuries. Additionally, I was made aware that the details in their records limited potential compensation.
Despite reaching out for follow-up, I have not received any responses. I relayed my concerns regarding missed work time due to appointments, and although I was provided with a form to document this for potential review, I was advised that it would likely not affect the settlement.
I have more observations I plan to share once my experience with this law firm concludes. For now, I recommend proceeding with caution and being mindful of their communication practices.

Okay folks. After being audited by the Texas Comptroller and them creating a tax bill of $175,000, I hired Curtis Osterlo to defend me. Long story short, I recorded all of the conversations between Mr. Osterlo and myself. In the beginning, he mentioned the names of people at the Comptroller NOT to talk to. Two months later, while racking up legal fees, he suggested he would circle back around and speak to Jane Doe (one of the people NOT to talk to). That is when I fired him. In my opinion, this law firm is in bed with the Comptroller to generate legal fees. After firing Curtis, I handled my case myself. The comptroller didn't know what to do now? Their boy wonder was out. I proved to the Comptroller I didn't owe the money by emailing a copy of the Federal and State laws. I ended up winning without Curtis. He wanted me to settle and charge me $35,000 for his time. I will never do business in the state of Texas again!

Rivas and Goldstein did an outstanding job for me. Their outstanding work didn’t go unrecognized, from the start to finish. Jonathan Wu and his knowledge, charismatic, and professionalism was nothing but sensational, marvelous and magnificent. I did not get the opportunity to meet him in person. Talking to him over the phone, email and text. He made me feel like someone I had known for years. Friendly and professional. His legal advice and strategic plans were outstanding. Honesty paid off. He made it so easy for me to open up and be myself and I have no doubt it made his job even easier. I did exactly like he asked as we prepared for my defense. Sometimes I thought I couldn’t make it but he encouraged me from every step. Like we all know nothing comes for free but over the course of Jonathan’s representation just like he made it easy for me to be myself he made it easy for me to work out payments that were fair and not strenuous. His team at RivasGoldstein were awesome from all his paralegals to the office manager. I am forever grateful.

Jonathan helped me prepare a synopsis for a complaints committee meeting. He provided effective probing questions during the meeting and made sure I mentioned specific details that were crucial for the committee members to hear. I was stressed out and worried about possible sanctions, but after our preparation, my mind was eased. He was such an excellent guide for me during the meeting that a committee member expressed how impressed he was with Jonathan! I didn't receive any penalties and am very grateful that Jonathan assisted me throughout this ordeal.

I contacted Mark for a case of mine that was very similar to a case he had in the past. Long story short, Mark was out of town and could not take my case. However, he gave a lot of free advice that helped me to handle it myself. I used the case law established by his previous case to push for what I wanted - and I got it.
Additionally, there was a very painful personal loss involved in our case. Mark, while traveling, took time to introduce me to other people experiencing similar grief. He was very kind and considerate. I was really moved by his actions, he had no idea who I was and is a very busy man.
If you want a proven winner who also has a heart - this guy.
Oh, and READ his other reviews. The negative review I read was ridiculous.

I have been waiting over 6 months for Rain Minns and her team to return funds owed to me. I would not use her services again.

09 Apr, 2018 by Anonymous
Initial consult with Rain seemed great as it felt like she was actively listening. After trying to get more details in how the retainer would be used, she made an an off-hand comment about usually working with clients willing to pay more. But the way she spoke, I thought she had a winning game plan in mind. So despite the engagement form being vague — I signed it and wired the retainer over. Along with all the documents for the case.
What I got in return was her sending a state complaint form for me to fill out, and then for her to proof-edit it. I reminded her of the resolution I was looking for, and that it seemed like the form would do the opposite. She stated she would need to review the documents again before being able to comment further, and to call back the week after. We hung up and she immediately billed for the remaining retainer balance. She never made any contact to the opposing party and I also got to deal with a nice visit from a process server.
After multiple calls to no avail in the span of two weeks, her research analyst John let me know that Rain had no interest in taking my call again until the retainer trust account was replenished. I understand this is business and people need to get paid. But I also believe that good business should result in a mutually beneficial relationship, which this was NOT. I’ve used up MONEY and TIME nothing to show for it. I will now be looking for another firm that believes in earning business and producing actionable results.

Rain Minns provided legal advice to help me transition my company from a for-profit corporation into a non-profit corporation. I was quite impressed with Rain’s resourcefulness and with the speed at which she works. She helped me gain insight by showing me how to access the publicly-available legal documents of other non-profit organizations. She gathered and explained the necessary forms and requirements, prepared a detailed written outline of the steps to be taken, and advised me on matters such as forming a board of directors. The work was done attentively and with a pleasant demeanor. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

I hired Paul as a pro-bono attorney many years ago. He was never prepared for our case, did not present the evidence I provided, showed up in a suit stained and extremely wrinkled and did not put any effort into my case. He just wanted the $500 I gave him but did not put even the slightest effort into my case. He is not a good attorney, nor does he seem to have any basic understanding of how his lack of effort affects people's lives. His is not worth a dime, so do not hire him. He is easily the worst attorney you could hire for your case.

I first worked with Paul on a rental issue and I found him to be extremely honesty and helpful. He was also very fair in his pricing, which was important since I was a student at the time. I later came back to his practice for help with consumer protection where he helped advise my elderly father on a potential predatory real estate scheme. I don’t think you could find a more empathetic, fair, and honest lawyer.

This firm has been given to me by my Metlife plan, I have a simple matter for collecting a court order judgement for 8 k . I guess this is not worth their time and quickly say conflict of interest BUT CANNOT tell me what that conflict is ? I am sure their is no conflict as this is a local bodyshop avoiding legal judgement .. I would be skeptical as I don't buy this conflict of interest. If you as a attorney can not enforce a judges order than how successful are you in other matters or this is about not enough money ?

This review is for Manny Newburger, who is an unprofessional bigot who denied a referral because I have a "questionable email address." He is culturally insensitive and makes poor impulsive judgments.

They work to enforce laws that prevent businesses from taking advantage of consumers and ensure that businesses adhere to fair practices.
Whether you’ve been the victim of a scam, sold a faulty product, or misled by false advertising, a consumer protection lawyer can help you navigate legal options and pursue justice.

What Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Do?
A consumer protection lawyer provides a wide range of services to help protect consumers' rights and seek compensation for harms caused by businesses. Their role may include:
- Filing lawsuits: Representing clients in lawsuits against businesses that have violated consumer protection laws, whether through fraud, deceptive practices, or negligence.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with businesses or their insurers to negotiate fair compensation for damages caused by unfair practices or defective products.
- Pursuing class action lawsuits: When a company harms multiple consumers, a lawyer can represent a group of plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit, seeking collective damages.
- Advising on consumer rights: Helping clients understand their rights under various consumer protection laws and advising on the best course of action.
- Handling product liability claims: Representing clients who have been injured by defective products and holding manufacturers or retailers accountable for the harm caused.

How Are Consumer Protection Lawyers Paid?
Consumer protection lawyers typically use different fee structures depending on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:
- Contingency fee: For many consumer protection cases, such as class actions or product liability claims, lawyers may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (typically between 25% and 40%) of the awarded amount.
- Hourly rate: For more complex cases or ongoing legal disputes, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a contract or filing a small claim, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all the necessary legal work.
- Retainer fee: For clients needing ongoing legal assistance, some lawyers may charge a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
It’s important to discuss fees upfront with your lawyer to understand how you’ll be charged and to avoid unexpected costs.
How Much Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a consumer protection lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal service required. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee cases: For cases handled on a contingency basis, the lawyer typically takes between 25% and 40% of any settlement or damages awarded.
- Hourly rates: Hourly rates for consumer protection lawyers generally range from $150 to $500, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases involving complex legal issues.
- Flat fees: For specific services like contract reviews or handling a small claims case, flat fees may range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the scope of work.
- Class actions: In class action cases, fees are often paid out of the settlement or damages awarded, and individual plaintiffs usually do not have to pay upfront.
Make sure to ask for a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to avoid surprises and to understand how much you can expect to pay.
Top Questions to Ask a Consumer Protection Lawyer
Before hiring a consumer protection lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they have the experience and skills to handle your case effectively. Key questions include:
-
What experience do you have with consumer protection law?
Ensure the lawyer has specific experience handling cases like yours, whether it involves product liability, fraud, or debt collection issues. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or a contingency 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 for an honest assessment of your case and what outcome you can reasonably expect. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Make sure the lawyer has experience dealing with similar legal issues, whether it’s credit report disputes, data breaches, or defective products. -
What is the timeline for resolving my case?
While it can be difficult to predict exact timelines, the lawyer should give you a general idea of how long your case may take to resolve. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case, so it’s important to know who will be working on your claim.
How to Check the Credibility of a Consumer Protection Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable consumer protection lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Check for experience in consumer protection: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to confirm they specialize in consumer protection law and have handled cases similar to 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 willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle consumer protection cases.
- Look for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) can indicate that the lawyer is committed to protecting consumer rights.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a consumer protection lawyer, come prepared with all relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Details of the product or service in question: Bring any purchase receipts, warranties, or contracts related to the product or service involved in your claim.
- Documentation of your complaint: Provide evidence of your complaint, such as email exchanges with the company, photos of a defective product, or a timeline of events related to the dispute.
- Communication with the business or debt collector: If you’ve communicated with the business or debt collector, bring copies of letters, emails, or phone logs.
- List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes for your case.
- Information on damages: Be prepared to discuss any financial losses or harm you’ve suffered as a result of the unfair business practices, including medical bills, lost wages, or emotional distress.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer understand your situation more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed with your case.
