I want to take a moment to sincerely thank Mr. Abel Dominguez and his team at The Law Office of Abel Dominguez for their exceptional help with my custody case involving my sons. Before working with Mr. Dominguez, I had a disappointing experience with a previous law firm that overcharged me significantly and failed to deliver the results I needed. However, when Mr. Dominguez took over my case. Everything changed for the better.
From the very beginning, Mr. Dominguez was eager to help and quickly understood how important my children’s safety and well-being were to me. His kindness, understanding, and genuine desire to fight for my family gave me hope and confidence during a challenging time.
When it came to court, Mr. Dominguez was incredibly methodical and well-prepared. Every time the opposing attorney tried to throw challenges his way, he was ready. His wisdom, professionalism, and ability to stay ahead were invaluable in resolving the case and ensuring my children’s safety.
Not only did Mr. Dominguez delivered outstanding legal representation, but he also did so at a very reasonable price, especially compared to my previous experience. He worked with me and showed great compassion, making it clear that he truly cares about his clients and their families.
I also want to commend Ms. B, his secretary, who is an incredible asset to the firm. She was always responsive, helpful, and attentive to every detail of my case. Her professionalism and dedication made the process much smoother, and I can’t thank her enough.
Mr. Dominguez and his team went above and beyond for me and my sons, and I will always be grateful. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to handle your case with care, professionalism, and expertise, I highly recommend The Law Office of Abel Dominguez. Trust the process, follow their guidance, and know that they will fight for you just as they did for me.
I also want to bless their business with this scripture:
"May Yahuah (God is My Salvation) bless you and guard you; may Yahuah make His face shine upon you and show favor to you; may Yahuah lift up His face upon you and give you peace." (Numbers 6:24-26)
Thank you again, Mr. Dominguez and Ms. B, for everything you’ve done for me and my family.

My name is Elizabeth Flores. I highly recommend Javier Maldonado and all his staff. They showed nothing but professionalism every time we had a phone call or I had a question, they fought for me until the last minute, making it easier for me, when I was denied the US Citizenship they knew exactly what to do and how to fight. We won the case so I am a US Citizen now and I can't be more happy I chose them to represent me. Thank you for all you did for me!!

Recently my husband & myself decided it was time to draw up our last will & testaments’. Weisinger Law Firm was highly recommended to our son. Our Attorney there was John Arnold. John was
really helpful in guiding us through every step. His knowledge in this area was very impressive & certainly gave my husband & myself a lot to think about in making sure all of our wishes would be taken care of when we are gone. Knowing that, not only gave us peace of mind, but gave our son peace of mind as well. So, thank you John, for all of your help. Terry & Dave Williams

I was involved in a Hit-and-Run accident from behind. My car was damaged and I sustained some injuries. My mother (who has used Douglas Dilley several times over the last 40 years) recommended I call the Dilley Law Firm. From day one, everyone that I dealt with, was always professional, courteous, and did not make me feel like I was just another number to them. I was always kept in the loop of where my case was throughout the whole process. Even when I had questions, they did not ever hesitate to respond. In the end my case was settled for more than I expected, even after all my medical bills, and other expenses were deducted, On many occasions I was speaking directly to Miguel Dilley. He was always very personable. I would not hesitate to hire them if another incident arose.I would also recommend them to anyone looking for a law firm, that is personable, professional, and willing to fight on your behalf.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Absolutely THE problem when it comes to attorneys this day and age.(maybe it’s just with men). If you want a game where you're being strung along and billed forever playing the rollercoaster game with you and your children's life instead of evidence being presented in a costly/timely and empathetic manner THIS IS YOUR GUY. Mr. Bancroft, i just got off the phone with you where you hung up on me stating that I’m threatening you. Get over your ego and realize that your business as a practicing attourney needs realignment. I wrote you about a standing invoice you provided totaling to less than the amount that Ive paid to you months prior with no response. After speaking to your paralegal, then being transferred to your “billing dept.” and speaking to them I was provided with a newer invoice…..with newer charges, where whomever was working before had originally just simply “forgot to send me the invoice”….what a convenient coincidence. After speaking with her, I was transferred to you where I had a conversation with your ego. Well, from the little guy(s) down here Mr. Bancroft, do whats right and fabricating invoices to skip out on paying balances owed on any moneys paid to you for the services that you DID NOT PROVIDE are just not that. Client paid $1750 in retainer fees(half of your 3500 to get the case started) and had to chase said attourney down for enquiries with little to no communications outside of ones that were initiated by me/client, INCLUDING in person conversation with YOU where I unexpectedly paid a visit to your office in August after I could not successfully contact anyone and asked about a status of my case. You did not recall my case by name until we went to your office and you searched my name.(keep in mind, this is three months after contracting). Attourney invoicing per attourney-client portals all state work for balance of $753, with latest payment from client being $631 in October.(this never happened, only payment made was the initial one and didn't make another due to subpar and in my opinion MALPRACTICAL, I'm aware that isn't an official word, service). After a few months of calling and majorly being placed on hold, back and forth’s with promises of returned calls or motions with paralegals, multiples of them and finally being frustrated with the reality of paying an attourney and not being fought for……while fighting a vindictive situation with my children as a GREAT DAD I asked for an explanation stating that if I did not hear anything as ai had been I wanted to discontinue services and be refunded via message inside of the client portal, I THEN was given a response…..but not with accountability, not with a plan of action, not to communicate any valuable evidence or structured plan of action, but to speak downward of me on the “dismal” months of non-payment……….ultimately this attourney demanded I paid him his past due amount, in addition to totals for mediations that hadn't even been had yet to avoid him WITHDRAWING. Needless to say I attended the mediation PRO SE, paid the mediator directly. I’m now on maximum state mandated child support and standard visitation for the children I equally raised because the relationship did not work out with their mother…finally divorced none the less. All of the evidence in the world to fight that good fight never presented, never saw a represented court setting, money just wasted and thank GOD I demanded a standard or it could have been MUCH MUCH worse financially. Contracted with this attourney on 5/24/2024….attourney withdrew as of 11/5/2024, yet they have still attempted to withdraw payment from my bank as of latest, 12/19/2024…….this was my SECOND attourney over a course of what I recall as a 3 year nightmare……I can confidently say, this is whats wrong with the family law system! Will edit with photo documentation when I have time.

Word of advice before hand, do NOT use this lawyer. You will never meet him in person, he has his office employees run his firm. He has been reported to the COMMISSION FOR LAWYER DISCIPLINARY APPEALS & previously suspended for his lack of loyalty & honesty towards his clients. Clients have reported losing homes/estates due to him not advocating/fighting for his clients.Take your time & money elsewhere or else he will take it for you.

Alana Pearsall and her Firm are 5* in my book. They are meticulous ,precise,and their attention to details are on point. She has a genuine care, and love for her kids she represents.. And being a mother herself is able to understand the needs of our children. She is honest, strong willed, smart, and will prepare you about the good and bad .. I strongly recommend her. Our lives are so much better because of her. She was our warrior.. She fought hard for our family..

This review is for Alana Pearsall with Pearsall Law Firm, P.C.. Ms. Pearsall came highly recommend as an attorney who has deep knowledge and expertise in her field. Her understanding of divorce and family law was truly remarkable. I knew trying to divorce my narcissistic husband would be difficult and I needed the best lawyer in Bexar County. What I was not expecting was an attorney who in her own life’s experiences, is also very knowledgeable in the field of narcissistic behaviors and patterns. God was truly watching over me. Mrs. Pearsall has a strong ability and willingness to listen. She is empathetic, compassionate, SMART, and patient.
As I predicted, my then husband was relentless in his pursuit to prolong our divorce, create chaos and put up as many roadblocks as possible, even though we had no children or assets. This was no challenge for Alana Pearsall. She pushed back with professionalism, perseverance, and her extensive knowledge of family law; I was in the best hands. Ms. Pearsall treated me and our interaction as if we had been lifelong friends. I am not normally the type of person who leaves reviews, but I could not pass up the opportunity to let Bexar County residents know what a phenomenal attorney and human being Alana Pearsall is. If you are dealing with a difficult divorce and/or if you are dealing with ending a marriage with a narcissistic partner, please look no further than Alana Pearsall Law Firm, P.C..
Now, I feel dignified, and I am currently moving on with my life with peace and joy! Melissa Salazar

Laura,
Your legal representation saved my daughter's life. Six months after you represented my daughter's best interest to change custody from her mother to me her father, my daughter Victoria was struck with life threatening appendicitis. Because of the change of custody, she was able to get emergency surgery on time. If she had been under the custody of her mother, the emergency condition would have been dismissed and neglected. You saved my daughter's life! I am forever grateful.

Wow, if I could give Mr. Mayfield 100 stars I would. He exceeded my expectations walked me through this delicate path to win primary custody of my son. He was always answered my emails for questions I had in a timely manner. He was always caring and knowledgeable in his answers. He’s no push over to whoever you’re against! He will stand up for you. He’s very Intelligent intelligent. He studies his cases and knows what to put in front of a judge for your favor. He has great and fair prices unlike other lawyers (that will tell you everything you want to hear take your money and treat you like you don’t exist) Mr. mayfield is the opposite!! You are a valued client to him! And He treats your case sensitive. I wish I had more words to describe my experience. There was no down part in hiring him. He did NOT disappoint me in any way. I’m beyond grateful for the work, time, and CARE he put in my case. Thank you, Mr. Mayfield!! I pray God will bless you 100 folds for your amazing work!! You went above and beyond for me and my case. Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOO much! I finally have primary custody of my son!!!! Yay!

If I could give 0 stars I would. Absolutely THE problem when it comes to attorneys this day and age.(maybe it’s just with men). If you want a game where you're being strung along and billed forever playing the rollercoaster game with you and your children's life instead of evidence being presented in a costly/timely and empathetic manner THIS IS YOUR GUY. Mr. Bancroft, i just got off the phone with you where you hung up on me stating that I’m threatening you. Get over your ego and realize that your business as a practicing attourney needs realignment. I wrote you about a standing invoice you provided totaling to less than the amount that Ive paid to you months prior with no response. After speaking to your paralegal, then being transferred to your “billing dept.” and speaking to them I was provided with a newer invoice…..with newer charges, where whomever was working before had originally just simply “forgot to send me the invoice”….what a convenient coincidence. After speaking with her, I was transferred to you where I had a conversation with your ego. Well, from the little guy(s) down here Mr. Bancroft, do whats right and fabricating invoices to skip out on paying balances owed on any moneys paid to you for the services that you DID NOT PROVIDE are just not that. Client paid $1750 in retainer fees(half of your 3500 to get the case started) and had to chase said attourney down for enquiries with little to no communications outside of ones that were initiated by me/client, INCLUDING in person conversation with YOU where I unexpectedly paid a visit to your office in August after I could not successfully contact anyone and asked about a status of my case. You did not recall my case by name until we went to your office and you searched my name.(keep in mind, this is three months after contracting). Attourney invoicing per attourney-client portals all state work for balance of $753, with latest payment from client being $631 in October.(this never happened, only payment made was the initial one and didn't make another due to subpar and in my opinion MALPRACTICAL, I'm aware that isn't an official word, service). After a few months of calling and majorly being placed on hold, back and forth’s with promises of returned calls or motions with paralegals, multiples of them and finally being frustrated with the reality of paying an attourney and not being fought for……while fighting a vindictive situation with my children as a GREAT DAD I asked for an explanation stating that if I did not hear anything as ai had been I wanted to discontinue services and be refunded via message inside of the client portal, I THEN was given a response…..but not with accountability, not with a plan of action, not to communicate any valuable evidence or structured plan of action, but to speak downward of me on the “dismal” months of non-payment……….ultimately this attourney demanded I paid him his past due amount, in addition to totals for mediations that hadn't even been had yet to avoid him WITHDRAWING. Needless to say I attended the mediation PRO SE, paid the mediator directly. I’m now on maximum state mandated child support and standard visitation for the children I equally raised because the relationship did not work out with their mother…finally divorced none the less. All of the evidence in the world to fight that good fight never presented, never saw a represented court setting, money just wasted and thank GOD I demanded a standard or it could have been MUCH MUCH worse financially. Contracted with this attourney on 5/24/2024….attourney withdrew as of 11/5/2024, yet they have still attempted to withdraw payment from my bank as of latest, 12/19/2024…….this was my SECOND attourney over a course of what I recall as a 3 year nightmare……I can confidently say, this is whats wrong with the family law system! Will edit with photo documentation when I have time.

What an Estate Planning Lawyer Can Do for You
An estate planning lawyer helps individuals plan for the management and distribution of their assets after death or during incapacitation. Their services involve drafting important legal documents, such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. Estate planning attorneys work to ensure that your assets are transferred according to your wishes, minimize tax liabilities, and avoid probate court. They also help clients plan for potential long-term care needs and protect their estate from being diminished by healthcare costs.
By working with an estate planning lawyer, you can have peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be cared for and that your estate will be managed efficiently and according to your desires.

- Guardianship or conservatorship: If you want to designate guardians for minor children or ensure proper care for incapacitated adults, an attorney can help.
Hiring an estate planning lawyer is especially important if your estate is complex or if you want to ensure that your wishes are properly followed.

An estate planning lawyer provides a range of services designed to help you organize your affairs and ensure your estate is managed according to your wishes. They can:

- Assist with beneficiary designations: Ensuring that life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and other financial instruments are correctly designated.
- Handle probate and estate administration: If a loved one has passed away, an estate planning lawyer can help guide you through the probate process or act as an executor.
How Are Estate Planning Lawyers Paid?
Estate planning lawyers typically charge for their services in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of your estate and the type of services you need. Common payment structures include:
- 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.
- Hourly rate: For more complex planning, such as estate tax strategy or trust administration, lawyers may charge by the hour. Rates vary based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Retainer: Some lawyers require a retainer for more complex cases, such as ongoing trust management or estate administration. The retainer is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront to avoid unexpected costs.
How Much Does an Estate Planning Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an estate planning lawyer depends on the complexity of your estate and the services you require. Here are some general guidelines:
- Simple wills or powers of attorney: A straightforward will or power of attorney may cost between $300 and $1,500, depending on your location and the lawyer’s experience.
- Trust creation: Establishing a trust, such as a living trust or revocable trust, can cost between $1,000 and $3,000 or more, depending on the complexity of your assets and estate planning needs.
- Comprehensive estate planning packages: Some lawyers offer packages that include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives, which may range from $2,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the estate’s complexity.
- Hourly rates: For ongoing services like estate administration or tax planning, lawyers may charge hourly rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience.
Always get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure the services fit within your budget.
Top Questions to Ask an Estate Planning Lawyer
Before hiring an estate planning lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your needs. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
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.
