I was recommended to Looney, Smith and Conrad by a lifelong friend and I am so glad that I did. I had a misdemeanor assault case and they handled my case very professionally. I had 100% confidence in their readiness to go to trial on my behalf. My case was dismissed and now I can go on with my life unimpeded. I highly recommend Lonney, Smith and Conrad for your legal needs and If I ever need them again I know where to go. Thank you for giving me my life back!

Non fake review. I also have paperwork I can load with pictures that I was a client if this were to get denied. I should have placed this review long time ago. They dropped the ball on my case I paid a lot of money for them to only lose the evidence on court day. They simply said there’s nothing we can do. In his video he explains how he likes to get people and court while there defenses are low. That is an accurate description of how they act when they can’t/ couldn’t win against the court. they take the same approach to their customers after that. If they’re willing to fix this problem without additional cost to myself I’d be glad to change the review.

I had the privilege of working with Lindsey during my divorce and child custody case, while also being an active-duty military member living in another state. From the outset, Lindsey demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique challenges I faced. She fought aggressively and strategically for my rights, ensuring that my military status, as well as the intricacies of an LGBTQ divorce, were handled with care and expertise. Lindsey worked tirelessly to protect my interests and those of my child, achieving a favorable outcome. Even after the case was finalized, Lindsey continued to offer invaluable support and guidance whenever needed. I highly recommend Lindsey to anyone, especially those in the LGBTQ community or military service members, looking for a dedicated and skilled attorney who goes above and beyond.

Although Michelle Cheng was always professional and responsive, I felt she could have been a lot more aggressive with our case. I feel as though she settled and gave advice based on prior cases and scenarios. Our doctor had admitted his guilt, so had she been more demanding and aggressive, we could have possibly received more.

We did get in touch with few attorneys via phone call, but Mr. Robson stood out and was our favorite. We directly talked with him on the phone for more than 30mins and were ready to sign with him. The next day we met with him. Even though we didn’t mutually agree and sign, Mr.Robson spent almost 2 hours with us and provided valuable advice to help us with the case. This tells me a lot about him as a person and how helpful he would be if we were to sign with him. I 100% recommend him to everybody.

Lori Is Amazing. She is an absolute beast in the courtroom, because of her years as a detective and as an attorney, she knows the questions to ask, and how to draw the answers out of people. My divorce was a long drawn out nightmare because of the opposing attorney, they tried every dirty trick in the book, delay after delay, even resorted to try and bankrupt me by filing motion after motion thus having us appear in court time and time again. Lori never faltered. She stood by my side, believed in me, was compassionate, seemingly always a step ahead of the opposition, and in the rare occurrence of a father being awarded primary custody, because of Lori, I am one of those rarities. I see some people complaining about not being able to get ahold of Lori, but know that she really is always in court or trials. If it’s urgent, her paralegals, specifically Kim, will get back to you, especially if it’s an emergency. HOWEVER…something I want to stress to those complaining about reaching her, Lori gave me a great bit of advice from day one. She said “It my job to do the worrying, if I’m not worried, then you shouldn’t be. If the opposing side files something that makes me worried, then I will call you to get the info. The last thing you want to do, is blow up your bill with phone calls when you can easily email me what’s going on and submit anything of relevance or problematic” She gave me an outline of things to come, and tips on how to keep our bill down. (Keep in mind, everytime you call your attorney, it costs money. This is a business.) In short, contested divorces are brutal. Unfortunately it takes a lot of time, patience, and money, especially when the opposing council tried every nasty tactic in the book. Lori is a truth seeker, she did an amazing job at both our trials, she listens to your wants and gives you the reality of reasonable expectations, she is an absolute beast in the court room that was able to get info out in the open that I wasn’t even aware of. She was able to connect the dots, cross the T’s and provide proof to the judge to get us our victory. Thank you Lori, my awesome and ridiculously blunt paralegal Kim, Matthew, Janine, and the rest of the staff that helped me thru this difficult journey. I don’t know if I can even express in words the gratitude I have for all of you. Thank you all so very much.

Like others have said do not waste your time. She took the money and ran. I haven't spoken to the lawyer in 2 years. To be honest the lawyer probably doesn't exist anymore and the paralegals are forging her information at this point. Nothing gets done. Save your money please.

Exceptional Service and Support During a Difficult Time. I recently had the pleasure of being represented by Musemeche Law during my divorce proceedings. The level of professionalism, compassion, and dedication displayed by my attorney and the entire staff was truly exceptional. The staff at Musemeche Law were incredibly helpful, quick in preparing necessary documents, and very responsive. Their efficiency and attention to detail made the process smooth and less stressful. My attorney was incredibly prompt in responding to my queries, ensuring that I was never left in the dark. Their ability to answer all my questions with clarity and patience was greatly appreciated, providing me with much-needed peace of mind during a challenging period. The negotiation process was handled with utmost skill and tact. My attorney was able to secure a fair settlement, reflecting their deep understanding of the law and a strong commitment to their clients' best interests. I wholeheartedly recommend Musemeche Law to anyone in need of a diligent, responsive, and highly competent divorce attorney. Their exceptional service and the support of their dedicated staff made a significant difference in my experience, turning a difficult situation into a manageable one. A well-deserved 5 stars!

If you plan to get divorced, you better get good representation. My wife at the time and I had separated, and she had moved to Galveston County with my minor children. I had no idea about divorce proceedings or lawyers in Galveston County and was poorly served by the one I originally selected. Later, more things were discovered, and I needed to revisit the divorce. This time I found Robert Musemeche and I wish I had found him from the beginning. He was an outstanding counselor and advocate for me as I reopened the divorce and went through mediation and subsequent challenges to the mediated resolution. He was always a professional and I never felt he was charging me for frivolous or unnecessary work. He helped me achieve the best possible outcome that took a long time, and I am thankful for that. He seemed to be very familiar with the local courts system, judges, and attorneys practicing in the county. I personally recommend Robert Musemeche as a divorce lawyer and I'm sure he would be excellent for any family law problem you may face.

Going through a Divorce and hiring a Lawyer can be 2 of the worst experiences of your life. I met with over 20 lawyers. And every single lawyer asked to hear my story. Then they all asked for money that day. I also asked if they have handled a case like mine before, and what are the odds of me getting everything that I’m asking for in the divorce? They ALL basically said “You’re going to get everything you’re asking for”. That is the moment I knew the lawyers were just telling me what I wanted to hear so they could get paid. Jacqueline Kriebel was the Lawyer I met with and was the 1st lawyer to LISTEN to my story and might be salvageable and worth saving. And couples counseling and individual counseling might fix my marriage. Jacqueline asked me to try that before I retain her as my lawyer. Jacqueline makes money by taking on new clients such as myself and makes no money if potential clients stay with their spouse, and I’m a client in her office ready to pay and start the divorce proceedings. But Jacqueline believes in marriage and family more than making money and profits. That alone showed me Jacqueline was a Lawyer with integrity. I knew then God saved the best lawyer for last. Unfortunately, marriage counseling didn't work so divorce was the final option, and I retained Jacqueline as my lawyer. After reading the offer from my soon to be ex-wife and her lawyer, Jacqueline switched into attack mode and responded with my offer and Jacqueline left no stone unturned. I’ve been dealing with a roller coaster of emotions, and I forgot that each spouse in Texas is entitled to a 50/50 split of debts and assets, regardless if you’re male or female. Then Jacqueline went into defensive mode, and she went over the do’s and don’ts in a divorce case so I don’t end up on the wrong side of a deal and getting the short end of the stick or worse getting in trouble with Judge or Mediator if our case ends up going that route. Jacqueline told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. Jacqueline is on my side but kept me realistic. So unless you want to waste your time meeting with countless lawyers that could care less about you, your family, or if your marriage can be saved, contact Jacqueline Kriebel, before your spouse does. You will not be disappointed, I PROMISE! I 100% RECOMMEND JACQUELINE KRIEBEL!

To all looking for an excellent divorce attorney, My situation may be just like yours. Alcoholism affects a family in many negative ways. For me, it lowered my self-confidence to the point were standing up and speaking out was difficult. I reached out to many attorneys getting as much advice as possible. Looked at their reviews, customer feedback and their experience. In the many consults and phone calls with the top 10 divorce attorneys in San Antonio, only one I felt could be my voice. Jacquline Kriebel was very confident, determined, assertive and yet had sympathy for my situation. During mediation and conference calls, she wasn’t intimidated by the other attorneys and there was no backing down from her. I feel there is no winning with divorce, however in the end, my children are with me and their life has changed for the positive. Thank you, Jacqueline Kriebel, for being my voice. Grateful Father!

I got into a car accident last year and had pretty severe injuries. Definitely didn’t feel like dealing with an insurance while trying to piece myself back together, so I decided to hire Thompson Law firm to help navigate entire process. To be honest the whole process is just a lot more than you first might think and whoever thinks they can do it on their own - good luck and patience to you:) Hiring lawyers was the best decision that I have ever made and after working with Thompson Law I can see why they are the best in their field. Even though process is very long and frustrating, but my lawyers Becky and Kyle have been incredibly patient with me, supportive and took the case very personally. Definitely recommend using them to everyone who needs!

My wife and I were treated with the utmost respect and compassion. Most of all, there were no distractions and attorneys Mark Taylor and David Wright gave us their undivided attention throughout our scheduled meetings. Their professionalism, along with that of the staff at Mark's office is greatly appreciated. Also, their fees matched the high level of service and the security we now have as a result of their work. Thank you.

Kelly and the team were great during my green card process. Clear paper work requirements, and great communication. Also experienced obtaining a TN visa at one point and when it was time to go for a green card I reached back out. From filing in March to receipt in August of my green card, it was a smooth process, highly recommended!

This firm sure knows their laws/rules, and I highly recommend them for help (in my case on employment law). While they are in TX they do know laws outside the state, which was perfect for me as I don't reside in the same state that my corporation does. Katie was patient and explained complex documents in layman's terms so I could understand what I was reading in my corporate documents. She also had insightful recommendations for things I should or should not do, which I am very thankful for. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience. This is a top notch, professional Law Firm and I will return (hopefully not too soon) with my future law needs.

I needed a criminal attorney badly. I spoke with Luka Garica about my case. He agreed to take the case and quoted 50K up to trial. I made an appointment, and paid the down payment, and Luka returned the money within 10-minutes and made an excuse that they had other projects. I am filing a complaint with the bar, and I will also sue for violating a verbal agreement. I cannot tell anyone not to use this law firm. But I will never trust them again. It appears that the law firm wanted to leave me without representation to assist the prosecutors. If I could I would give this law firm a zero. I do not trust them and will protest in front of their building when I get time. Horrible! Unethical and untrustworthy.

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

What a Debt Collection Lawyer Can Do for You

A debt collection lawyer helps individuals and businesses navigate legal matters related to debt collection. Whether you’re a creditor seeking to recover unpaid debts or a debtor facing aggressive collection actions, a debt collection lawyer can provide valuable assistance. These lawyers help creditors pursue legal action to collect overdue debts and ensure compliance with debt collection laws. On the debtor’s side, they help defend against unlawful collection practices, negotiate repayment plans, or file for bankruptcy if necessary.

If you’re dealing with a debt collection issue, a lawyer can ensure your rights are protected and work toward a resolution that aligns with your financial or business needs.

When Should I Hire a Debt Collection Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a debt collection lawyer if you are facing any of the following situations:

  • For Creditors:
    • Unpaid debts: If you’re a creditor (such as a business or individual) with unpaid invoices, loans, or accounts receivable, a lawyer can help you pursue legal action to recover the debt.
    • Debtor refuses to pay: When a debtor is unwilling or unable to make payments, a lawyer can assist with filing lawsuits, securing judgments, and enforcing those judgments to collect the debt.
    • Negotiating repayment plans: If you’re willing to work with a debtor to arrange a payment plan, a lawyer can negotiate and draft a legally enforceable agreement.
    • Legal representation in court: If a debtor disputes the debt or countersues, a lawyer can represent you in court and ensure your legal interests are protected.
    • Securing liens or garnishments: A lawyer can help you secure liens on a debtor’s property or garnishments on their wages to recover the owed debt.
  • For Debtors:
    • Facing debt collection lawsuits: If you’ve been sued by a creditor or collection agency, a lawyer can represent you in court and help you defend against the claim or negotiate a settlement.
    • Debt collection harassment: If creditors or debt collection agencies are harassing you or violating your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), a lawyer can help stop the harassment and potentially sue for damages.
    • Negotiating debt settlements: If you owe a significant amount of money but want to avoid bankruptcy, a lawyer can negotiate with creditors to reduce the total amount owed or set up a payment plan.
    • Disputing a debt: If you believe a debt is incorrect or have been wrongfully targeted by debt collectors, a lawyer can help you dispute the claim and provide evidence to resolve the matter.
    • Bankruptcy options: If your debts are overwhelming and you’re unable to repay them, a debt collection lawyer can help you explore bankruptcy as an option for debt relief.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help you protect your financial interests and avoid escalating legal issues.

What Does a Debt Collection Lawyer Do?

A debt collection lawyer provides a variety of services depending on whether they are representing the creditor or the debtor. Their responsibilities often include:

  • For Creditors:
    • Filing lawsuits: A lawyer can file a lawsuit against a debtor who has failed to pay what they owe. This includes preparing and submitting legal documents, representing you in court, and pursuing judgments.
    • Negotiating settlements: If the debtor is willing to settle, the lawyer can negotiate a payment arrangement or reduced settlement that ensures you recover some or all of the debt.
    • Securing judgments and enforcement: After obtaining a court judgment, a lawyer can help enforce it through methods like wage garnishment, bank levies, or property liens.
    • Reviewing contracts and agreements: A lawyer can review your contracts and lending agreements to ensure that they comply with the law and are enforceable if a debtor defaults.
  • For Debtors:
    • Defending against debt collection lawsuits: If you’re being sued by a creditor, a lawyer can challenge the lawsuit, dispute the debt’s validity, or negotiate a more favorable settlement.
    • Stopping harassment: If debt collectors are using unlawful practices to collect a debt (such as threatening you or contacting you excessively), a lawyer can intervene and protect your rights.
    • Negotiating debt relief: A lawyer can negotiate with creditors to reduce the total amount of debt you owe or develop a manageable payment plan that suits your financial situation.
    • Disputing inaccurate debts: If a debt is not valid, a lawyer can help you gather evidence to dispute the claim and prevent further collection actions.
    • Filing for bankruptcy: If your debts are overwhelming, a lawyer can advise you on whether filing for bankruptcy is the best option and help you through the process.

How Are Debt Collection Lawyers Paid?

Debt collection lawyers typically charge for their services in different ways depending on the complexity of the case and whether they represent a creditor or debtor. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many debt collection lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and the case’s complexity. Hourly fees are common when the lawyer is representing either party in litigation or negotiation.
  • Contingency fee: For creditors, some lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover the debt. Their fee is typically a percentage of the recovered amount, usually ranging from 20% to 40%.
  • Flat fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a contract, drafting a demand letter, or defending a straightforward debt collection lawsuit, a lawyer may charge a flat fee.
  • Retainer: For larger or ongoing cases, a lawyer may require a retainer fee ranging from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity of the case and the expected duration.

It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation and understand the total cost of their services before proceeding with your case.

How Much Does a Debt Collection Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a debt collection lawyer depends on whether you are a creditor or debtor, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly rates: Most debt collection lawyers charge between $150 and $500 per hour. Complex cases involving litigation or large amounts of money may result in higher legal fees.
  • Contingency fees: If the lawyer works on a contingency basis, they typically charge between 20% and 40% of the recovered amount. For example, if you recover $10,000 and the contingency fee is 30%, the lawyer would take $3,000.
  • Flat fees: For simpler services like drafting a demand letter or responding to a debt collection lawsuit, flat fees may range from $500 to $2,500, depending on the work required.
  • Retainers: For larger or ongoing cases, a lawyer may require a retainer fee ranging from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity of the case and the expected duration.

Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to avoid surprises and ensure that the services fit your budget.

Top Questions to Ask a Debt Collection Lawyer

Before hiring a debt collection lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with debt collection cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether you’re a creditor or debtor.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, on a contingency fee basis, or a flat fee, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and the potential outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Debt collection cases can take time, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last, from filing the claim to recovering the debt or resolving the dispute.
  5. What are my legal rights?
    Ask the lawyer to explain your rights as a creditor or debtor, including protections under laws like the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
  6. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Debt Collection Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable debt collection 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 law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for debt collection experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in debt collection law and have successfully handled 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 ability to handle debt collection cases.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on debt collection matters.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a debt collection lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • For Creditors:
    • List of outstanding debts: Bring a detailed list of the debts owed to you or your business, including invoices, contracts, or other supporting documentation.
    • Previous communication with the debtor: Provide copies of any emails, letters, or phone call logs showing attempts to collect the debt.
    • Contracts or agreements: Bring any contracts or agreements related to the debt, as they may be critical in proving your case.
    • Judgment information (if applicable): If you’ve already obtained a court judgment against the debtor, bring the judgment documents and any enforcement attempts.
  • For Debtors:
    • Debt collection letters or notices: Bring any correspondence from creditors or collection agencies, including demand letters and collection notices.
    • Payment records: Provide proof of any payments made toward the debt, including receipts, canceled checks, or bank statements.
    • Debt validation or dispute documentation: If you’ve disputed the debt or requested validation, bring copies of the dispute letters and the creditor’s response.
    • Legal summons or lawsuit documentation: If you’re facing a lawsuit, bring the court summons, complaint, and any legal documents related to the case.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best legal advice tailored to your needs.
