I hired Evans Family Law in the middle of my case, after a reset and a crappy lawyer (marble law) not doing anything at all and throwing 6k down the drain. Shara Dixon came in like rambo and dominated the half ass stuff done by my first lawyer. She came in ready to fight and she got me my son!

I recently had the opportunity to work with the David Komie Law following a vehicle crash I was involved in, and I am truly grateful for the quality of care and service I received.
My initial phone interaction with Matthew was incredibly reassuring. He took the time to listen to my concerns and was thorough in explaining the legal process ahead of me. His patience and clarity helped alleviate some of the stress I was feeling after the crash.
When I met with Rai, the director of outreach, I was even more impressed. He was not only knowledgeable but also relatable, making me feel comfortable during a difficult time. Rai took the time to go over every detail, ensuring that I understood my options and the steps we would take moving forward.
After my conversations with both Matthew and Rai, I felt confident that I had made the right decision in choosing them to represent me. It was evident that they genuinely care about their clients and are committed to providing the best possible support throughout the entire process.
I highly recommend prospective clients to consider David Komie Law if you are looking for attentive service where you don’t feel like just another number. Their dedication to helping those they serve is clear, and I am thankful to have had them by my side during a challenging time.

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.

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.

Robin and his assistant, Sierra, were great. I had to have my property deeds corrected in order to be able to claim the proper tax reduction from the county on the land. It was a bit complex and took many steps to get it completed. I really appreciated all the time they took from the initial meeting, letting me know up front how the costs would be applied per month. I was glad to have the monthly cost breakdown that showed me exactly what I was paying for. This was not a quick process but Robin kept me informed all the way what was going on. Robin and Sierra got all the paperwork filed on the deeds and I was able to file the proper paperwork with the county tax office for the corrected tax breaks. The initial cost will be overshadowed by the savings in future property tax deductions. Thank you, Robin & Sierra
PS. Robin holds monthly workshops on Real Estate, Wills, Probate & etc. I have attended at least one and plan on more. I recommend the workshops. Just call his office and ask about the workshops, you'll be glad you did.

My husband was on 6 years probation and came up dirty for a taip assessment one time in all his 6 years in probation. Krista jumped on it fast and was in there on the first week to visit him. The judge wanted to send him away or extend him for three years and a 9 month treatment. Krista got it knocked down for one year probation and a 3 month treatment. Our family is greatly appreciated and I recommend her for everybody. Great job Krista and god bless you.

Krista represented me for a DWI. My situation was very very messy (other pending charges, new charges midway through case) somehow she was able to get me an excellent plea bargain that allowed me to keep my license, keep the DWI off my record and not serve any jail time. She comes recommend from a lawyer in my extended family that advised me Krista is who she would hire if she was in my situation.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal support provided by Marshall Thompson during my divorce proceedings. From our very first consultation, I was impressed by their professionalism, honesty, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me.
Marshall not only possesses an in-depth understanding of family law which helped me to navigate agreements for my best possible outcome. He provided clear guidance every step of the way, ensuring that I fully understood my rights and options throughout the process and was very straightforward around what was and was not reasonable to help me focus on the most important matters of mine.
What truly sets Marshall apart is their genuine concern for their clients' well-being. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions promptly, and alleviate any anxieties I had about the proceedings. Their compassion and reassurance were invaluable during such a challenging time in my life.
I am incredibly grateful for their efforts and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate divorce attorney.

When I first hired Marshall, I really felt that he was going to help my and my daughter, or at least that's what he said. Although, I had years of well-documented evidence to provide to the court, Marshall's poor decision-making and lack of planning led my family down a nightmarish path. When I became so fearful for my daughter's safety that I asked him to non-suit the case, he refused. Then, he strolled into final hearing with very little preparation, despite our pleading, and erased any progress we had made. His poor and reckless decisions and final positions were not at all what I wanted, and angered the judge who made me and my young child pay the price. He then tried to imply that my situation was not that bad by disclosing details of other cases and terrible outcomes, in order to minimize his failure. We will forever be paying for Marshall's poor judgment and poor planning. My family will never be the same.

First off im going to say wow!! Marshall exceeding everything in what I was looking for in a custody attorney!! I came into this a nervous wreck and beyond scared for any down outcome. Marshall immediately reassured me of the good mom I am and how these steps are not easy but we will get through them together and that we did! After over a year battling this divorce I came across Marshall and immediately my nightmare was going to come to an end. I have primary custody got everything I desired for my kids and now finally getting divorced. He was so patient, listened to everything crazy and not I had to say and remained so honest and kind through it all! I recommend Marshall to anyone needing a great divorce attorney he will exceed your expectations to the fullest!! Thank you so very much for all of her time it means so much to me and my family!

We have been very pleased with Ellen Stewart's services. She prepared our wills. Subsequently and over the years, she assisted each of our children with legal documents they needed when they turned 18.
Each time, Ellen treated us with respect and confidentiality. She competently answered all our questions clearly and in a way that we could understand. We particularly appreciated the transparency with which she informed us of each and every option, explained pros and cons, and gave us ample time to understand and ask questions.
It was also easy to work with her staff in the multiple document exchanges our needs required.
We have highly recommended her professional services to friends and family.

When asked during consultation about formulation of litigation strategy she exhibited incompetence in her Trust litigation knowledge. Lacks legal acumen in resolving Trust litigation issues when asked during consultation about procedural specifics. Disappointed in her lack of adequately presenting her Trust knowledge during consultation. Seemed uncomfortable in responding to questions regarding discovery and resolution strategies. Upon research, it was discovered technical writing of vacation letters to county clerk was adequate.
Concerned her lack of Trust litigation expertise is insufficient to be successful in resolution of highly complex issues.

Kristina Chung, Attorney. I am so honored and blessed to have this opportunity to share my experience as one of her clients. Ms. Chung not only continuously performs above expectations; she stepped up and committed to the time and complexity that my case was likely to involve when I need the help the most. As a single father, custody cases are extremely difficult especially when CPS was once involved; but Ms. Chung did not let that deter her at all, she took the challenge with a badge of honor. Ms. Chung is an outstanding attorney with the expertise in representing clients in complex Family Law cases. Any client should feel it is a privileged to have Ms. Chung as their attorney. Her integrity, character, compassion, dedication and professionalism is to be envied by others in her field of work. Her knowledge, skills, ability and most of all excellent communication was off the chart. She always displayed personal attention to details and was very responsive to all my emails, texts and phone calls. Ms. Chung makes a client feel like they are her "only" client with the tireless efforts she makes to give them her 100% best. Ms. Chung never let me down and she will NOT disappoint any client that she represents, I am a first hand witness to that. If I could give her 1 million stars instead of (5) I would. There are not many out there that have her skills, expertise and integrity. I highly recommend The Chung Law Firm if you ever find yourself needing an excellent Attorney for any legal services she provides.

Kristina is an excellent lawyer. She is detailed, professional, fair, timely in her response time, and always goes the extra mile. She has tremendous empathy and compassion as well as professionalism -- an unusual, wonderful combination. Not only is she very relational, she is also a very strong advocate for her clients. Her integrity always keeps her on the right track even when situations get tough. I trust her legal expertise and judgment implicitly. I would highly recommend Kristina Chung as a lawyer when legal representation is needed!

The Fowler Law Firm truly embodies what it means to empower those they represent.
In my line of work, it's all too common to see hardworking folks in construction not getting paid by greedy general contractors. When one of our Spanish-speaking clients faced this issue, I knew exactly who to refer them to.
Laura and her team were exceptional—they prepared our client for their case, clearly communicated their leverage, and fiercely advocated on their behalf to ensure they were supported every step of the way.
I'll continue to refer clients to The Fowler Law Firm because they’ve proven to be a trusted advocate for small businesses. Thank you for standing up for our community!

This attorney was utterly unresponsive to our request for a simple conversation over the phone regarding a will preparation. She kept e-mailing questions which we answered multiple times. Even with all the information we provided she was unable to find our case. All of this back and forward could have been avoided with a quick phone call instead of multiple e-mails over a period of several days. Everytime we called, we got her voice mail, which indicated that she would call us back, but instead she sent an e-mail despite our multiple requests to get a phone call or an office consultation.
If this is the response we received for a simple will preparation, I can't imagine what would be like for more complecated legal matters.

It took me awhile in contemplation on whether or not I should write this review but seeing others' writing, I see that I owe it to myself and others to speak on Mr. Brian Bernard. I was first introduced to him by a good friend of mine who was actually upset with him that he had spent $500 on his daughter's behalf and received no service. He said he was upset with Mr. Bernard for not doing anything and he, his daughter, and his daughter's mother had reached out to him several times and Mr. Bernard became upset. They parted ways but I decided to give him a chance because I felt that any grievance over $500 is DEPLORABLE because I am a pre-law student and I understand that attorneys charge anywhere from $250 to $1000 an hour for their time.
I talked this attorney for the first time last October and he was the cheapest attorney of them all. When I talked to him again this year, the price went up because I needed him to travel I was still good with it because it was 5k and it was cheap for what I needed him to do. He hastened me to get the money and said if you don't hurry, your parental rights will be terminated. Within two months, I had half of his money and a brand new apartment. I gave him the money, knowing he would not do any work without all of it. I made a good faith payment was what I called it. The first time I had ever heard him "bubbly", he called me and appointed me his paralegal. He said he would begin "making a file".
For the next month, he had me collecting my own documents. The paralegal did nothing but sort them in an app. I accepted that because he didn't have to start at all ... I tried to get a loan for the rest of his money and got denied. The loan company stated I had "filed bankruptcy". A couple Fridays ago, I told Bernard how badly I wanted to get him his money but that it appeared that someone had filed bankruptcy in my name and that would prohibit me. I asked him to perform a nationwide search and told him I would pay him for his time. He obliged mentioning nothing of payment. He said he would do it the following Monday
Monday morning rolled around and I woke up to a text, an email, and an app notification from his paralegal, demanding the rest of his money. I texted Bernard about it and he didn't respond. The week went by and I called his assistant to see what was up. I texted her on our group chat and also called his paralegal to no avail. Suddenly his assistant called me and apologized, stating that it was all a misunderstanding and the alerts take place every 2 weeks. She said Bernard could do my search for $750 as it would allow him 3 hours. He has 25 years of legal experience and I knew the search only takes minutes even for a beginner. It was a PRICE GAUGE. She assured me no more alerts would be made and we hung up.
Funny thing is, I had never gotten the alerts in the MONTH I had worked with him. Not ONE...so if they were every two weeks, they would have alerted me at least once right? Plus, who charges someone almost A GRAND to perform a search when they are having issues getting the INITIAL money they owe to GET THEIR KID BACK. I asked for a refund last Saturday and havent gotten a single text, call, or email. I paid him $2000 to be his paralegal for a month and to be presented false hope that he was on my side. What do I think? Well, I think he is money hungry and unconcerned with your personal problems. I think he located the OC in this case and used the documents I collected for him to sell me out, making me think that ALL THE SUDDEN, he was willing to work for half the money, up front. I also think he tried to sucker the money he didn't get from my friend out of me....but who am I ... Just a paralegal in training, on the Dean's List in school, and a double major in Business.

Greetings to all 💝 I would like to share my experience with Attorney Brian Bernard.
I had Mr. Bernard saved in my contacts from a relative in jail that asked me to reach out to him (Brian) in June 2024. About 1 month later my son went to jail and the attorney that I initially reached out to wanted to help for the "low-low" price of $7,500 for a Class "A" misdemeanor with an initial payment of $2,500😂. I sent Brian a text message wanting to know how much should a misdemeanor charge of that nature cost. I was bracing myself for impact of his response (because I am extra broke😂) but his response pleased me. The conversation of the photo is attached💝 Brian had my son out within hours. I was relieved because as parents we want our children to do the right thing and be ok. The day was nearing for me to fly out of town for work, so I was pleased and burden lifted.
Moving forward to August 2024, my Aunt called me upset and stated her son went to jail and it would cost a lot of money for the bail bonds to get him released. I instantly said "Aunty call Brian, I am sure he can help and have him released the same day for a fair price💕 " She said text me his info and I will call him (In her still hurt tone). After my aunty called Brian, she called back telling me how excited she was and I could hear it in her soul💕 Then she told me some fun facts about Brian's career from their in person meet (I paid through CashApp😊 so we did not meet in person). My aunty kept thanking me. I said Aunty we Thank God for Mr. Brian Bernard.
Names to me are very important because what we are called is what we are as well as what we respond to. For example My name is Jacqueline which means "May God Protect Her" and He definitely has throughout my whole entire life💝
Brian means: High, Noble, Honor and dignity
Bernard means: Brave, Hardy and strong
Now look at this fair man walk in his purpose according to who and what he is called.💗💖💝💓

She is very helpful with all my concerns even after seven years she helped me with my divorce. She returns my calls timely with my information and spoke with of details of what was settled after all these years. Her advice is always fair and truthful to the situation and always took children into consideration first. I'm truly thankful for her practices and grateful to have been referred to her.

She did an excellent job in handling my divorce in 2006; If a previous client who posted did not know they were not divorced, that is their fault for not following up with their attorney, and knowing they actually would need to APPEAR and sign ! Ms. Dody was very thorough, also proficient in handling a QDRO.

Never filed final divorce decree from 1998 and found out when trying to get new marriage license. She told me to just tell the court I was never married because they don't check that in Travis County. Use at your own risk!

The Fowler Law Firm truly embodies what it means to empower those they represent.
In my line of work, it's all too common to see hardworking folks in construction not getting paid by greedy general contractors. When one of our Spanish-speaking clients faced this issue, I knew exactly who to refer them to.
Laura and her team were exceptional—they prepared our client for their case, clearly communicated their leverage, and fiercely advocated on their behalf to ensure they were supported every step of the way.
I'll continue to refer clients to The Fowler Law Firm because they’ve proven to be a trusted advocate for small businesses. Thank you for standing up for our community!

Unprofessional, very poor communication. Does not return calls or emails. Very slow and unmotivated. Mr. Bennett was hired to probate a will 8 months ago, no progress has been made and he continues to bill for unnecessary services.

She does not do the job as expected. Her staff changes constantly. Promises are not kept. Prepares you for the hearing and then handles things completely different. She needs to have her license to practice law revoked.

I highly recommend you use any other attorney than this one! I hired him to do a contract. He advised that “his” contract offers the most protection. Dead wrong! His contract put me in a vulnerable situation where I will be sued due to lack of knowledge in law. I am still waiting for my file from this attorney. Three weeks ago I sent a certified letter asking for it as well as emails, phone calls. Nothing. I have no idea what has been done on this case

I hired this attorney to draw up a contract to offer protection. He did the opposite and drew up a contract that violated Texas Code. After the other party threatened to sue us when this attorney only offered free legal services. What good is that when the services I paid for are proven to be poor. I experienced awful communication with this attorney to the point that his father finally stepped in.

This attorney was difficult to work with because he never returned calls or emails. He was hired to draw up a real estate contract which he emailed me confirming he could do. After the fact is when I found out that his “area of expertise” is not even in real estate. Probably why the contract I paid for that he drew up violates Texas Code and now we have been sent a demand letter from the other party. I would not recommend this attorney if the firm he works for.

- Flat fee: Many estate planning services, such as drafting a will or trust, are charged on a flat-fee basis. The fee covers all work related to preparing the document.

Top Questions to Ask an Estate Planning Lawyer

-
What is your experience with estate planning?
Ensure the lawyer has substantial experience drafting wills, creating trusts, and handling other estate planning services. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or by the hour and ask for a detailed estimate of costs. -
What strategies do you recommend for my estate?
A good lawyer should be able to explain the best strategies for minimizing taxes, avoiding probate, and ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes. -
How often should I update my estate plan?
Ask how frequently you should revisit your estate plan, especially if your financial situation or family dynamics change. -
Do you offer ongoing support or updates?
Some lawyers provide periodic reviews or updates to ensure your estate plan stays current with changes in your circumstances or the law. -
How will you help my beneficiaries if something happens to me?
Ensure the lawyer is willing to guide your heirs through the estate administration process or help manage your trust after you’re gone.
How to Check the Credibility of an Estate Planning Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible estate planning lawyer, follow these steps:
- Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for estate planning certifications: Some lawyers are certified as estate planning specialists, which indicates they have extensive knowledge in this area of law.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews on sites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and client satisfaction.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from previous clients who can speak to their expertise and client service.
- Check for membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of organizations like the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) or the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) often have a strong reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with an estate planning lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- List of assets and liabilities: Provide a detailed inventory of your assets, including real estate, bank accounts, retirement funds, investments, and personal property, as well as any debts you may have.
- List of beneficiaries: Be ready to discuss who you want to receive your assets and in what proportions. This includes naming guardians for minor children if applicable.
- Existing estate documents: Bring copies of any existing wills, trusts, powers of attorney, or other relevant estate planning documents.
- Questions about your estate goals: Write down your goals, such as avoiding probate, reducing taxes, or setting up charitable donations, so your lawyer can tailor a plan to meet your needs.
- Information on medical and financial decision-makers: Be prepared to discuss who you want to appoint for healthcare and financial decisions if you become incapacitated.
By being well-prepared, you can ensure a productive consultation and begin building a comprehensive estate plan that meets your needs and protects your loved ones.
