Really appreciate the work that David and team put into my case. Being my first offense, I was completely scared of all the unknown. But both David and Karina took the time to ensure me that they had my best interests at heart throughout the entire process. Time, attention, and detail provided by this team is 100+.

I'm a big fan of ABD&M. They are a professional group of folks who know their business. Noel Stout is my preferred counsel and he is always thoughtful, to the point, kind and has an eye toward resolution. Unfortunately, in my industry I've had far too many experiences with poor quality attorneys and I can say without hesitation that the things that seem to matter are the facts AND the attorney's knowledge level. Put yourself in good hands and hire these guys.

In 2018, the lives of my wife and I, and our son-in-law, were completely upended by the death of our youngest daughter, who was a very special bright spot in our family. After being married only six months, she died in Austin from injuries suffered in an avoidable accident. My wife and I hoped to avoid any other family losing a loved one in the same fashion. As a dad, I had to understand what happened to my daughter. I spent months investigating the facts of the accident and speaking to at least a dozen law firms. Eventually, I spoke with Joel Levine, Dave Wenholz and Daniel Smith. They were very willing to represent us although our case had difficulties, when no other firm would represent us. We benefitted from very effective and excellent representation of Dave Wenholz and Daniel Smith which resulted in a settlement of our case right before trial. My wife and I can't begin to say how much we appreciated that our attorneys believed in our case despite its challenges, and were zealous advocates for our daughter. We cannot recommend Joel, Dave and Daniel highly enough.

I was referred to Joel Levine by Kansas attorney I clearly called them for call backs , I recieved a call that I missed I returned the call to reached out . Never called me back took them 3 weeks to call me back I told the lady it’s been a non injury case it should be on the notes and all the waiting for her to tell me they do not handle non injury case . I suggest better communication by this company. Honestly waisted my time , did not take consideration I understand theirs a line but for 3 weeks is rediculous are you calling one person per day ? . The referral lady by my job takes up a week and does not take this long to get in contact with her customers.
I suggest the front lady that answered the phone to know what type of cases you guys allow and don’t to avoid time waisted personally for the customer and the sake of the co worker .

He thinks a brain injured person doesnt deserve from him any manners, zero respect, they deserve to be treated like they are always acting badly to justify him doing things such as doing absolutely nothing for me for months on end followed by him launching into verbal assault mode against me simply because to him, a brain injured person doesnt deserve the time of day, or to be cared about in any way at all. He literally claimed me asking for mutual respect and offering to apologize for any bad behavior on my end as long as he returned it to me for his own misdoings as being “verbal harassment”.
Nobody deserves to be treated the way he treats me. If i ask you to apologize that is not verbal harassment you jerk

I felt compelled to write this review today due to how valuable their service is. The law office of Anderson Simmons has helped me with my debt claim case immeasurably. This law firm knows all of the Texas debt laws inside and out. They know how things are going to go and what the tactics normally are. They know the usual players. They are trustworthy and they their price was extremely more than fair. They will hand it to you straight and let you decide. I hope not to get into this bind again but if I do, I will 100% rely on this law firm.

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.

I greatly appreciate the legal support of Jimmy’s entire team at EFLG such as Jimmy, Avery, Ashley, Dina and Roxi after obtaining services on two occasions. After working with a few other attorneys for work over time, I have found EFLG to be most effective for my needs.
They took the time to listen to my needs, provided extensive examples and resources to complete my work. I was provided with various options along the process to trade off time, resources, and options. In addition, the team maintained highest integrity resulting in a professional outcome with best possible results for the situation. I will certainly go to EFLG for my next legal matter.

**Review for Jimmy Evans at Evans Family Law**
Going through a divorce is never easy, but having Jimmy Evans by my side made the process bearable and, dare I say, even smooth. From our first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. Jimmy's professionalism, compassion, and deep knowledge of family law were immediately apparent.
He took the time to truly understand my situation and concerns, patiently answering all my questions and guiding me through every step of the divorce proceedings. His communication was impeccable, always keeping me informed and ensuring I felt empowered to make the best decisions for my future.
Jimmy's negotiation skills are truly remarkable. He fought tirelessly to protect my interests and secure a fair settlement. His dedication and expertise made all the difference in achieving a positive outcome for my case.
I am incredibly grateful for Jimmy's support throughout this challenging time. His professionalism, empathy, and unwavering commitment to his clients set him apart. If you're facing a divorce, I highly recommend Jimmy Evans at Evans Family Law. He will be your advocate, your advisor, and your champion.

By far the worst lawyer we’ve ever spoken with. He was rude, unhelpful, and seemed uninterested in answering our questions. We definitely do not look forward to working with him again. His lack of knowledge and dismissive attitude left us feeling frustrated and confused. If you’ve had a car accident and need a lawyer, we recommend looking elsewhere. This is certainly not the best lawyer in Austin.

I recently contacted Mr. Robinson with some legal issues that I was unclear about, and just like a good next door neighbor, he contacted me back. Patient, understanding, provided me with what he did know and could offer, and did not try to over qualify himself, which so many attorneys pride themselves doing today. I beleive he is an honest man, and will swing for the fences for his clients. And will look to him to represent me.
Thank you Mr. Robinson.

Brian helped me in a situation where I had no idea where to go. Was able to take on my case, evaluate what my options were and allowed me to get the charges dropped with minimal fees and service hours. His rates are fair and he does what he says he will do. Would recommend to anyone that's in a crunch with the law.

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.

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!

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.

Ahora en español si les sirve.
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.

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.
Read more
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.

I have been dealing with them for almost 5 years now in regards to the 3m lawsuit. After 5 year, I’ve learned that they only care about making money and do NOT care about the client.
I have sent tons of emails over 5 years. Sometimes I get a generic response, but the email doesn’t come close to answering my questions. I know they are dealing with a lot of clients but not one answer from them in 5 years. That’s ridiculous.
If you’re looking for a firm that will listen to you and take their time, look elsewhere.

What a Consumer Protection Lawyer Can Do for You
A consumer protection lawyer specializes in safeguarding individuals from unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices. These lawyers advocate for the rights of consumers in disputes with businesses, helping clients recover damages related to fraud, defective products, false advertising, or violation of consumer protection laws. 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.
When Should I Hire a Consumer Protection Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a consumer protection lawyer when you’ve encountered unfair or illegal business practices and need legal assistance to resolve the situation. Common scenarios include:
- Fraud or deceptive business practices: If a company misled you into purchasing a product or service under false pretenses, a lawyer can help you seek compensation.
- Defective products: If you purchased a product that was unsafe or defective and caused harm, a lawyer can help you file a product liability claim.
- False advertising or unfair pricing: A lawyer can assist if you were misled by deceptive advertising or charged for services or products in a way that violates consumer laws.
- Debt collection harassment: If you're being harassed by debt collectors or are facing illegal debt collection practices, a consumer protection lawyer can enforce your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
- Credit report issues: If errors on your credit report are affecting your financial standing, a lawyer can help you resolve disputes with credit reporting agencies or creditors under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
- Predatory lending practices: If you've been subjected to unfair loan terms or practices by payday lenders or mortgage companies, a lawyer can help you challenge the loan and seek a resolution.
- Data breaches or identity theft: If your personal information was compromised due to a company’s failure to protect your data, a lawyer can help you recover damages related to the breach.
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.
- Defending against debt collection harassment: Enforcing the rights of consumers under the FDCPA and other laws that protect individuals from abusive or unlawful debt collection tactics.

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.

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.
