I have known Pablo for a few years and he has helped me greatly with 2 of my cases. One was dismissed and the other got reduced to a very minimum charge, compared to the original charge. He is one of the more affordable attorneys in town as well, but that dont let that fool you, he is very professional and willing to help! He has been around for some time and he really knows his stuff. I would highly recommend him!

I was referred to Mr. Shaw in 2005 and retained him to represent both my company and me in a breach of contract / deceptive trade practices lawsuit in District Court in San Antonio, Texas. Unlike the several other attorneys that I retained prior to Mr. Shaw, he successfully extricated my company and me from any liability. Since that time, he has represented my business, me personally, and many of my business associates and friends based on my recommendation. He has resolved every claim and protest pertaining to my company's contracts with the federal government and the State of Texas. Most of these matters were settled without litigation, which saved my company thousands of dollars. He has successfully represented my company and me in lawsuits in the District and County Courts in Texas. All of these lawsuits were resolved favorably. His legal advice on labor issues and contracts has enabled my company to avoid legal problems on numerous occasions. My business associates and friends, that I have referred to Mr. Shaw, have an equally high opinion of him and his work. Anytime I need an attorney, he is the attorney I call.

I hired Dan to provide legal representation for me a few years ago. The matter was overwhelming for me. Dan provided excellent service and took the time to carefully explain all details of the case. He was always available to answer questions and went out of his way to calm my concerns. I cannot thank Dan and his staff enough for all of their hard work to make sure all angles of the case were examined and covered. His experience in civil and personal injury matters was invaluable.

«PLEASE READ THIS VERY IMPORTANT»!!!! My Wife and I are going through a very Complicated Custody battle(WAR) and have been going through it for over a year. If you look at from the stand point that her Ex husband thinks he is GOLIATH becauseof all $$ he is spending and the legal maneuvers , from false allegations, to buying therapists and social study workers with his High DOLLAR ATTORNEY who does not have any problem being UNETHICAL immoral and is the Prime EXAMPLE why Most Attorneys get a Bad Reputation.. But as I said earlier his actions show he really thinks they are GOLIATH.. As everyone knows how that story ends. Well NOW to the point of this review, WE have David but his name is (RAUL C GARCIA):-) He doesnt have a sling and a rock. He has KNOWLEDGE, HONOR , TENACITY, and THE TRUEST PASSION FOR JUSTICE I HAVE EVER SEEN, HEARD OF or EVER MAY COME ACROSS AGAIN. THE OTHER SIDE HAS NO CLUE THE FIRE they have brought upon themselves.We have heard this term 1000 times over the course of this yr. ITS WHATS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILDREN IS WHATS MOST IMPORTANT.. WELL EVERYONE MR. R C GARCIA IS FIGHTING FROM THE DEPTHS OF HIS SOUL WITH ALL HIS SKILLS TO DO JUST THAT. WHAT IS RIGHT FOR OUR BOYS. IF COULD GIVE THIS AMAZING MAN $10 million We would still think it wasnt enough for his service to OUR FAMILY. Hands Down this is San Antonio and Texas's BEST LAWYER IN ALL HIS FIELDS.. IF ANY GOLIATH IS BULLYING YOU, JUST CALL MR .GARCIA .AND WATCH HIM HANDLE HIS BUSINESS.. GOD BLESS THANK YOU FROM GD LOVELACE.

Where do i start? Amazing Law Firm and let me just say how professional Robert Swensen was with me, told me everything that was going to happened and how it was going to happened. He even went over and Beyond the call of duty, when I called him after hours he picked up and spoke with me, I don’t get that from lawyers, I usually get the answer machine and wait 2-3 business to get a response, but Robert was different he was on my case as soon as he got it in front of him. he always helped me with question and concerns I had. I was very confident and comfortable with Mr. Swensen, and they also have multiple ways to pay, which was very convenient for me. If you need a law firm, THE COOK LAW FIRM IS THE WAY TO GO. Wait no more they are QUICK AND HONEST and will get the job done ✅ Thank You 🙏 so much for helping me with my Divorce Mr. Swensen

I’ve called multiple times to try to resolve a case that’s been ongoing for 3 years. I never get responded by anyone on my case and they tell me they wil call me back, they never do. I’m beyond frustrated and irritated. I hate to leave reviews like this and I’m glad everyone has had a good experience. I have not. I get told someone is always busy , every time I call conveniently. It’s just frustrating to have a car totaled by someone and it not be your fault and the people that are supposed to help you are not. I was very understanding at first and would give them the benefit of the doubt (it is a law firm) but after the the 6th, 7th , 8th time calling and no one is helping you to know info on what’s going on or them telling you they are busy every time it’s beyond frustrating.

I had the pleasure of working with Holly for my personal injury case, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. From the very beginning, Holly demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and showed genuine concern for my well-being. She was always available to answer my questions and provided clear, honest advice every step of the way.
What impressed me most was her attention to detail and her determination to fight for the best possible outcome. Holly handled all the complexities of my case with professionalism and skill, ensuring that I was fully informed and comfortable with each decision.
Her negotiation skills were exceptional, and she was able to secure a settlement that far exceeded my expectations. Throughout the entire process, Holly was compassionate, supportive, and truly committed to my case.
I highly recommend Holly to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable personal injury lawyer. She turned a stressful situation into a manageable and ultimately positive experience. Thank you, Holly, for your hard work and for standing by my side!

I contacted lang lawfirm based on thier website stating "We often represent the underrepresented: average people and small businesses that have been injured by large corporations and insurance companies."
Their paralegal, Renee, stated that the firm was too busy and referred me to a couple other firms.
Those didn't work out so I went back to see if the firm would change it's mind or it's case load had opened up.
From there it went south.
I explained my situation again to Renee and, again, she shut me down. After multiple exchanges i managed to get a concession of offering a phone call for a full price consult. I found her to be very disrespectful, rude, and insensitive to my situation. Yeah.... Not acceptable.
Thinking it was just a bad interaction, and being a resourceful type of person, I was able to get past Renee and establish comms with Mr. Lang.
Unfortunately it seemed to me that he had much the same attitude and he also refused to meet with me.
All I wanted was a face to face consult and I was offering to pay. Nothing wild or out of the ordinary, however no one from the firm could be bothered to meet with me.
I am not sure how law practice is done in San Antonio but I do know this goes against all the customer service tennants i have ever been taught.
Represent under represented and average people? Hah, yeah right...
This firm is definitely not for me.

I visited the law office of Hector Gonzalez lll for an initial consultation, before entering I was filled with fear of the unknown, severity of charges, along with not knowing what could happen. From the time that I walked through the door I felt welcomed. Upon sitting with attorney Gonzalez he took the time and showed interest in what was going on with me and my family, was able to break everything down and let us know what things meant, what could happen and what needed to take place, after leaving we were positive we needed him fighting for us. Thank you and your team of highly qualified staff for your hard work and caring hearts for your clients.

Brian Walters expertly guided me through a multi-year custody case that was only resolved after a week-long jury trial was held. At trial, Brian was uniquely able to convey empathy towards the other parent while still delivering the hard facts of the case. I believe this resonated with the jury as they were being asked to make a decision that reflected the best interests of the child and not the best interests of either parent. In my personal case, and I suspect in most custody cases, it is easy to demonize the other parent for what they did to you and how their actions are continuing to hurt your parent-child relationship. From my perspective, this is why it is invaluable to retain a legal team that is emotionally intelligent in how they present the facts of the case. Brian was incredibly adaptive when speaking with witnesses and able to effectively anticipate and respond to comments from opposing counsel. Brian unquestionably focused and presented on the best interests of the child and I am beyond grateful to have been able to work with him and his firm.
Logan Kilgore joined our team towards the end of multi-year custody case and brought a refreshing positivity in an otherwise draining situation. Logan swiftly appraised herself of the case and I immediately felt secure not only with her professionalism but more significantly in her level of care. Throughout the case Logan listened to my concerns, stayed focused on the child’s best interests, and used all resources available to accurately convey those concerns during a temporary order hearing and during a week-long jury trial. At trial, I was humbled by Logan’s ability to manage exhibits, coordinate and examine witnesses, and communicate with all involved parties. Further, she was able to accurately recall specific details of the case and then pull factual evidence from the exhibits to directly disprove statements made by witnesses or opposing counsel in a manner that still conveyed empathy to the other parent. Logan’s extensive preparation and emotional intelligence during delivery were instrumental in this case and I consider myself incredibly blessed to have worked with Logan and Walters-Gilbreath, PLLC.

I strongly advise against hiring Peter Stanton if you value your time and money. My experience with him was nothing short of a nightmare. Despite his initial promises, he did absolutely nothing to advance my case. Instead, he consistently charged me exorbitant fees for minimal effort.
One particularly egregious instance was when he billed me $350 for a 15-minute Zoom call. To add insult to injury, he charged an outrageous $175 to write a six-line letter, which he insisted on sending with my final check. To top it all off, he even managed to write my name wrong on the check!
This attorney is a scammer and seems more interested in milking his clients for money than providing any real legal assistance. Save yourself the headache and find a competent and honest attorney 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.
- Resolving credit report disputes: Helping clients correct errors on their credit reports that may be causing financial harm or affecting their creditworthiness.
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.

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.
