Mr. Flores is hands down the best lawyer I have ever met! He is not only incredibly professional and skilled in criminal defense, but also someone who genuinely cares for his clients and takes action swiftly. He’s an amazing person with exceptional legal expertise, and I will forever be grateful for his help.
Before this incident, I had a smooth and promising life with great career opportunities ahead. However, I was manipulated into saying things in a moment of emotional vulnerability, leading to a false accusation of third-degree felony domestic violence. This accusation caused me to lose my job opportunity and severely damaged my reputation, with the other party using this situation to smear my name throughout the industry.
Mr. Flores stepped in and fought relentlessly, using the evidence I had to help clear my name. Despite the overwhelming difficulties and the other party twisting the truth, he worked tirelessly to ensure that the prosecutor saw the truth and ultimately dismissed the case. His effort to defend me in such a challenging and dramatic situation was nothing short of remarkable.
This ordeal has been deeply traumatic, wreaking havoc on my life, mental health, reputation, and relationships. However, Mr. Flores was my saving grace, bringing light to my darkest moments and proving my innocence with his exceptional legal skills. He is truly a savior in my life and a phenomenal lawyer.
If anyone is seeking an attorney who will fight for justice and criminal defense with professionalism, compassion, and determination, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Flores. He’s not just a great lawyer—he’s the best lawyer forever!

Rick Flores is absolutely brilliant! He is by far the best Attorney that we could have ever encountered. He went above and beyond our expectations. Rick is extremely knowledgeable, fought very hard for us, and won every single case that we brought forth. Court cases can be extremely stressful and challenging; however, Rick helped ease the stress and was always available and ready to help throughout the entire process. We were very pleased and happy that we chose Rick to represent us… not only did we gain a great Attorney, but we also gained a great friend in the process. Rick is truly the best Attorney in town!

I had a very small municipal case that I just could not deal with. I found great reviews on line for Rick as a successful criminal defense attorney. While my case was far from his normal, it was not too small for him to take. He took my call, took my side, calmed my anxieties and got my case dismissed promptly. He is not inexpensive, but if you want your case handled by the best, and someone who is empathetic, kind and effective, call Rick.

Massingill attorney Katherine Wyatt was great as she went over and above to service my case but even more after to have my back to protect me. Owner/Attorney Josh Massingill was understanding and jumped in too. Best attorneys one could have in their corner. It’s not about money it’s service, dedication and hard work to a positive outcome for every client. I’ll be forever grateful to them for their customer care and professionalism. Made me always feel my case was their number 1 priority.

Nicole is a true angel and a remarkable attorney. She treats her clients with the utmost compassion and kindness, always making you feel heard and supported during even the most stressful times. Her determination and expertise were key in navigating the complexities of my disability case, and she fought tirelessly to ensure a positive outcome. I cannot recommend Nicole enough for anyone in need of a dedicated, empathetic, and formidable advocate.

Megan Evans with FVF Law has been amazing to work with. She has always been very professional. She has been very quick and responsive to return calls, emails and text messages. Megan has been thorough in explaining each step of the process, has kept me up to date on everything, as well as, just checking in with me in.
From start to finish, I have been extremely happy with her after my car accident and would request her and recommend her every time.

After my dad and I had a horrendous crash on the highway where we both thankfully lived. I was left with dealing with the aftermath and knew I was in over my head with the process. A friend recommended FVF Law and specifically Al. It was wonderful working with Al Silverio and Vanessa O. Day, great and efficient work with excellent communication. I could not recommend them anymore to handle your case.

Nikki’s expertise in family law is unparalleled. Although I have never formally retained Mrs. Maples, she has been by my side to collaborate whenever I have needed her. Nikki and her firms communication's skills are excellent, and truth be told, hard to find these days. Everyone here is responsive (consistently) and easy to talk to. Unfortunately, I have been dealing with a complex divorce case for way too long but, Nikki has truly helped me with sound advise and reassurance. She also cares about my overall wellbeing and what is best for me and my family.. and if you don’t think this is important… think again. she will not steer you in the wrong direction and will always have options for you, even if they are not favorable, and transparency can be uncommon in this type of law. She is sensitive to what her clients are going through.. you will want an attorney that cares about the full picture. Save up, do what you have to do to have this team on your side! Blessings to this firm and anyone reading this.

They basically filed a lawsuit every month against me until I eventually lost custody of my kids. They have no integrity, well let their clients lie about rape in court to get custody. I’m a good dad but unfortunately law firms like these will pepper you to death with lawsuits until you can no longer afford an attorney, and win. They shouldn’t counsel their clients to lie in court.

First, I’m an attorney myself so I had fairly high expectations for the law firm representing me in my divorce. Walters Gilbreath was recommended to me by other attorneys to be, one of the best, if not the best litigation family law firm in Austin and I can say those attorneys did not steer me wrong. Luke Wallace was the responsible attorney for my case and he was awesome to work with and extremely competent. I think communication is key to an attorney-client relationship and Luke did not disappoint and kept me updated the whole time. Luke is also intelligent, hard working, a good listener, and either knows his stuff or was able to research and find the answer quickly; all attributes necessary to be a great attorney. I was also represented by Jake Gilbreath and he was awesome to watch in court. Overall, very impressed with my representation by Walters Gilbreath and would recommend them to anyone needing representation in the area of family law.

Worst experience ever. I thought I was hiring the best. 75k and two years later and zero results I found out I was wrong. I wanted Jake which he spent time to go over the custody case. Seemed to have a plan. He assigned a jr. attorney to handle the ins and out. He does the heavy lifting. That was going good. Until the jr attorney stopped communicating text phone and email. Happened twice. I contacted the office and I guess they had a parting of ways. Got assigned a new jr attorney. Jake cut his rate for the inconvenience. the new attorney was 12 months out of law school. I expressed my concerns. Well we got ran in circles by opposing counsel for over a year. We were never on offense just on defense the entire time. I would ask what can we do and we simply never had a good strategy. Final trial got pushed by opposing. Got reset 3 months later. 3 days before final trial opposing counsel wanted to reset again which I was advised to do. I did not agree and didn’t want to push back. Jake convinced me to reschedule again. But what I found out a week later is Jake’s office never filed the correct paperwork to be on the docket. So they are trying to file 3 days before we go to trial and of course not telling me. I find out from digging into things. They said they did file. I have docs from the court showing they were Trying to file 3 days before and it got denied. So we didn’t really have to reschedule because of opposing counsel. We were never on the docket. That’s why we had to reschedule.
Other issues was they actually filed documents with the court on my behalf with the wrong attorney name, wrong dates and in one part of the document they put someone else’s name on it. It was actually filed that way they never showed it to me before they filed it.
At the end of the day I had to fire them. I talked the CEO which is Jake’s wife. No one wanted to take responsibility.
at the end I got 9k back from them, which I thought was not even close to what it should been based on their incompetence

My experience with this firm was not perfect. There were some errors. At the end of the day, though, I walked away with the best possible situation I think the court was going to award me. I was advised ethically and I was billed ethically. I would like to say thank you after some years have passed since my divorce was finalized as I realize how it was handled and any frustrations I may have had are attributable to the system more than to the firm. Thank you for your advice and guidance, for keeping me from going down unnecessary court rabbit holes, and for helping me achieve financial freedom and custody of my child.

Duke's attitude was consistently positive and proactive, which significantly alleviated my stress during a challenging time.
In court, Duke's professionalism shone brightly. His confidence and thorough preparation were evident, and it was clear that he had my best interests at heart.

I found Florencia on Avvo with very high reviews. My friend needed an attorney so I diligently researched the area for a reputable attorney. That research turned up Florencia and her firm Hildreth & Rueda. Both my friend and I were pleased with her and the results of the case. We both would trust and refer her again.

I had the opportunity to work with Attorney Lianna Garza Smith and her team during a challenging and extended divorce process, and I am extremely thankful for their effective and strategic support. After transitioning from another attorney, Lianna took over my case and made a significant impact with her prompt and efficient handling.
Lianna swiftly assessed the complexities of my situation and developed a clear, strategic plan. Her timely and thorough approach was crucial, particularly when we needed to address the temporary orders hearing before the final decree. She ensured that all necessary steps were taken promptly to secure interim arrangements that supported my child's well-being and stability.
A key focus of my case was child custody, and Lianna was exceptional in managing this sensitive issue. She concentrated on helping me establish protective parenting arrangements, advocating effectively to ensure a stable and secure environment for my son throughout the process.
Lianna’s extensive knowledge of family law and her strategic insight were evident from the start. She provided direct, actionable advice and was consistently available to answer my questions and address my concerns.
If you need a divorce attorney who is both efficient and committed to achieving effective protective parenting arrangements, including handling temporary orders hearings, I highly recommend Attorney Lianna Garza Smith. Her expertise and focus on my child’s well-being were crucial in reaching a favorable outcome.

I can’t thank Mackenzie Holtz and her team, Kate Koscheski and Lianna Garza Smith enough.. Divorce isn’t easy. Mackenzie and her team expertly navigated me through the entire process. From the initial interview through mediation and final court filings, they were on point and prepared. If you have to go through third, I highly recommend Deyerle Silva Smith as your representing firm. They are outstanding.

Amazing service and communication from Nuni's & Assoc. I was really in deep with a contractor who was unwilling to finish his work, and Nuni's knew exactly what to do in order to get the job finished. Throughout the process I was consistently kept up to speed via email and phone calls, was given reasonable expectations, and never felt lost. All costs were clearly explained and disclosed, my concerns were met with patience and understanding, and they were always available when I needed them. Would absolutely recommend and will absolutely use again if I ever need it!

Greg is an exceptional family law attorney with 30+ years of experience who demonstrated exceptional care, quick response, and dedication throughout my complicated case. His knowledge and experience were invaluable; he always made me feel like I had a strong advocate.
My case involved wastage claims, community reimbursement, multiple mediations, expert financial rebuttal, and a three-day trial. Greg is extremely knowledgeable about family law and provided invaluable guidance and advice throughout the process, explaining complex legal concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. He listened and understood my unique situation and was compassionate and empathetic. His attention to detail and thoroughness was impressive, and I always felt like my case was in the best possible hands.
He had a good sense of what fair outcomes would be and predicted them, allowing me to evaluate risks. He did not back down and secured me a fair judgment; He also secured my attorney's fees (a BIG WIN) back from my spouse for delaying the case. His team was exceptionally strong with responses, discovery, maintaining over 5000 documents, and presenting them effectively to the judge.
I highly recommend Greg to anyone who needs a family law attorney, and he will get you the justice you think you deserve. He is a skilled and experienced attorney who will fight tirelessly to protect your rights and interests.

Greg and his staff made my divorce efficient and painless. I relied on his judgment because it is clear that he is familiar with the various options at each stage, and the pros and cons of each. Although my case was simple, with no children and no disputed assets, he was no less devoted to resolving my matter.
Greg returned my calls and emails promptly every time, and his rates are very reasonable. I recommend Greg Hitt with absolutely no reservation.

So they are trying to file 3 days before we go to trial and of course not telling me. I find out from digging into things. They said they did file. I have docs from the court showing they were Trying to file 3 days before and it got denied. So we didn’t really have to reschedule because of opposing counsel. We were never on the docket. That’s why we had to reschedule.
Other issues was they actually filed documents with the court on my behalf with the wrong attorney name, wrong dates and in one part of the document they put someone else’s name on it. It was actually filed that way they never showed it to me before they filed it.
At the end of the day I had to fire them. I talked the CEO which is Jake’s wife. No one wanted to take responsibility.
at the end I got 9k back from them, which I thought was not even close to what it should been based on their incompetence

I would NOT recommend Hembree Bell to an enemy. I was told that I would get my retainer fee back in full, which did NOT happen, and I was relying on that money to help support my children and I until I could get back on my own two feet. Please don't make the same mistake I did by trusting these people with such delicate matters.

Divorce was one of the most daunting events of my life. I was fortunate to have a long-time attorney in Houston recommend Charlie Bowes as a top divorce attorney in Austin. There were numerous challenges during the divorce case, including the ex-wife switching to three different attorneys. The process was during the COVID pandemic, which represented further challenges. For me, communication was key so that I could understand the potential ramifications of each element of the process. Charlie is not the type of attorney who only tells you what you want to hear, but he will tell you what is actually in your best interest. He always presented alternatives based on his vast experience on every issue. There were times when Charlie would have to “talk me off the ledge” during which I was taking a stubborn approach that could have had negative consequences on my case. In the end, I could not have found a better attorney than Charlie and his paralegal Charlyne.

Navigating the family court system can be a terrifying experience. Finding myself in this position and knowing the battles ahead to fight for possession and decision-making rights for my child was beyond nerve-racking. I wasn't sure where to turn. Enter Katherine Obando…
There aren’t enough characters to adequately describe the attention and care she gave my case. On an interpersonal level, I consistently felt heard and understood – a HUGE relief in dealing with the stressors of the family law process. As my attorney, she made it evident she would FIGHT for me, and she did! I’ll forever be grateful for the amount of work and energy she gave my case.
STRONGLY recommend!!!

Jessica is a phenomenal attorney who gets the job done. My case took years (not by her fault at all!) and she remained patient and helpful whenever I needed her. She is very responsive and concise. Most importantly, she is affordable and I feel her rates are extremely fair and she doesn't overcharge like a lot of firms. Other firms quoted me 2-3x what her rates are and her service far exceeded my expectations.
My case was originally contested without children and went to uncontested and she navigated each skillfully.
If you are looking for a responsive, affordable, professional and compassionate firm for your case, you can't go wrong with Jessica!

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
