I was involved in an auto accident where an inattentive driver pulled a U-turn across traffic striking and totaling my classic corvette and injuring my back. At first, I tried to work directly with their insurance but it was evident after two phone calls that they were not willing to compensate me for the value of my car nor my injuries. I contacted Rich at Trial Tribe and he walked me thru the process of obtaining a reimbursement for the actual value of my car. In addition, he provided recommendations for rehabilitation and examination services and obtained a fair compensation for my injuries. I am grateful to have the tribe on my side and fully endorse Rich and his staff for the outstanding service they provided

Hired Steven for my fiancé, was initially charged with a 3rd degree felony. She was very skeptical on who she wanted to to represent her in this legal fight. We found Steven and he was very helpful, answered all our questions, and never promised anything but the best outcome he can provide with the courts. Got her charge dropped down to a misdemeanor with only six months probation. Will definitely recommend Steven.Hands down one of the best lawyers I’ve ever dealt with definitely worth every penny. Thank you Steven from the bottoms of our hearts God sent lawyer.

I finally got in touch with him to see my discovery after 12 months. Only to see a bunch of people I never met before lying on me . Typical Tarrant county. He did get me probation 7 years better than prison. He is on time actually the most punctual lawyer I have dealt with to be completely honest.

Not a good injury law firm. Hard to get a hold of. Not local, so you can’t go visit and speak to your attorney or anyone on their team. Calls come from Dallas office and it’s very hard to get questions answered. You may speak to an attorney once in your journey with them. I am not confident that they have done all they could with my case. If you want clear communication and confidence in the information you are given, go elsewhere.

Great lawyer and everyone at the office is great
Actually I have never talked to the lawyer yet and I signed with them almost 4 months ago I have only talked to one person at that office and that is over the phone. So you say why did you give a good review well that's because when the person contacted me after I did one of them things to touch you it'll tell you how much your case is worth the person that got in contact with me from the office told me to send me two links and told me to get on there and give him a five-star review which is the time I thought it was a little weird since I've never talked to him or anything now I'm taking it back cuz I don't know never met the people. Also I just noticed cuz I was looking at their website it says that they are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week which that's not true because there's been numbers of times I've called to talk to the person is supposed to be my caseworker or whatever and they tell me she's already gone for the day when it's Friday and everybody's gone they're not there 24 hours a day and right now I want to cancel you as my attorney I want to fire you I no longer want your services because you have not done anything but cost for little money that I might get by sending me for tests and tests and test and retest for something that I already had test on thanks but no thanks Stacy crider

Best criminal attorney in the DFW. She will fight to the death to make sure that you are satisfied as a client. You can tell that she actually loves what she does and it’s not just a job for her. She is extremely genuine and the way she builds report with her clients is unmatched. If you want a positive outcome regarding your case she is THE BEST option.

As a veteran family, we used Mr. Werley's services with a child support case. He was inadequately prepared and in my opinion could have been a better orator within the chambers.
Now, we have received a service of him withdrawing due to lack of communication.
After reading this, I asked Mr. Werley to contact me.
With my wife present, he explained that we have no problem communicating, but in order to withdraw council he has to apply that as one of the issues for attorney/client termination.
This appears highly unethical and with all due respect Mr. Werley, you owe this veteran family a complete refund for misrepresenting yourself.
I never leave posts without bringing receipts.

William and his legal team made my divorce fast and painless for both parties. I would hire them a million times over. I felt heard and understood. The process was explained adequately to me. I never felt out of the loop or in the dark. When it came down to fighting over assets they prepared a rebuttal quickly and I ended up with everything I wanted and more.

If you ever want to feel like you have to be a lawyer to talk to your lawyer, by all means hire this group. Hannah was quick to reply back when it came to withdrawing representation and got it signed by Judge same day, but didn't even bother to let me know until I looked on e-file and asked.
Any time I asked a question, she seemed irritated and bothered by me. She would pick apart my question and make me feel like i had to be a lawyer just to ask the question right. She would constantly interrupt me, raise her voice and just act like she had no time for me when she was the one who would request we do a phone consult!
She tried to get me to sign a final divorce decree that didn't even address any of the issues I asked (but yet still had to pay for them to write up something I didn't even want and then pay more out of my retainer to get it fixed).
When I would ask, she would take forever to get back to me and then if I emailed weeks later to ask about it, she would either blow me off or act irritated over the phone about it.
The only brightside was I was smart enough to request a copy of my bill (that they weren't sending regular so they could sneak in extra billable hours) and was able to get in writing that that would be refunded to me so she couldn't empty out the whole retainer out of pettiness.
She was not very empathetic at all. I ended up filing pro-se and finishing the rest myself and even editing parts of it even though she tried to sink me by saying I would have to hire a whole new attorney and be out double just to finish the last bit of it.

Abraham Lopez has been the easiest attorney my husband and myself have worked with. He has been incredibly insightful, informative and takes the time to understand your situation and makes sure you understand what his responses are to your questions. He is also very good at returning phone calls and emails which in my experience is hard to come by these days. If you or anyone you know is needing an attorney Abraham is the guy you should hire.

Terrible experience with Sarah particularly. My coparent withheld my ability to see my infant on multiple occasions, Sarah charged me for documentation that didn’t improve or remedy the situation; the coparent was not held accountable whatsoever. The response I received from filing the expensive paperwork Sarah’s firm advised was my coparent filing a false police report saying their vehicle was broken into implicating me for which I had proofs were 100% false (the vehicle was NOT broken into or tampered with and I was nowhere remotely close to area it was located at the time in question). I was required to meet at police stations following that accusation - know what the coparent showed up in?? The undamaged vehicle in question on the DAY FOLLOWING the accusation. (For the record, it’s supposed to be a crime in Texas to file a false police report). Again, none of it mattered when we *never made it to court* — saddled with $25k worth of representation debt (when the standard for family court settlements is ~$11k to my understanding), a hefty child support amount, and ONE day more than a standard possession as a non-custodial parent. I wrote her an angry, frustrated “who do you work for here?” email to which she felt the need to call me personally at 3 am having me tell her I thought she was the perfect person to help me with my situation or she would be resigning my case. Should’ve dropped her then and there. I’m an honorably discharged veteran, a former federal employee, an Eagle Scout, etc. I was up against someone with a an assault record. Continuously told her firm I wanted a 50/50 coparenting agreement and wasn’t trying to skirt child support because I didn’t think it would help my case. Not what was presented at the 2-3 court days we were supposed to have, I took off work for and made special arrangements for but didn’t actually “take.” We never made it to court - ended up in mediation with a RETIRED judge who didn’t read or pay any attention to the facts of the case whatsoever as his blanketed opening statement at mediation was - “I don’t care what the facts are here, I’m not taking any child away from his mother short of something drug related” - a determination based solely based on gender/sex. I did 90% of the talking during mediation; Sarah and her assistant sat there and barely spoke. I’m not an attorney. I didn’t get paid $25k to represent someone. Had no idea what I was doing. Sarah worked with the coparent’s attorney and came up with a 30+ page document that provides more coverage for my co-parent than me and I was billed for it; co-parent walked away from the case on a pro-bono basis. If I mess up, jail time and fines. If the co-parent messes up, there would be hefty court fees for me to enforce anything and then next to 0 repercussions for them. My coparent has been so empowered by how easy it was to walk over me that she has continued to violate the agreement (never missed a day with my son, coparent’s missed a plethora; coparent doesn’t send written updates when our circumstances change, I’ve had to; coparent moved outside the agreed upon living area, repercussions are supposed to be me becoming custodial, NOPE; coparent filed 2 more false police reports since implicating but not naming me to avoid harassment charges, nothing stopping them). If you’re a single father out there for any reason and are looking for help, know upfront no one (courts, attorneys, etc) cares about the dad’s rights or involvement in a child’s life. Since the resolution, I’ve struggled to make ends meet between the debts and my obligations. Think when I’m struggling to this degree that I can afford or would even bother going back to court to have my coparent “held accountable” for the violations?? Steer clear of Sarah’s firm; felt massively overcharged for the minimal support or intervention I received from them.

Jessica Phillips is top notch!! She fought for me during my divorce every step of the way and was very realistic and straight forward. The communication her and her paralegal Amie had with me throughout the entire process, was beyond astounding. This was the first time I had ever been through the divorce process, along with some other things, and they made sure I was educated on everything throughly before any court date or meeting. I highly recommend Jessica for any family legal matters.

I was referred to the Schneider Law Firm by a friend, so I thought I'd "pay it forward" and share my experience. Nobody likes having to deal with legal issues, but they made it as quick and painless as possible. They asked me what my goal was, which was to avoid going to trial and reach an agreement that everyone would be happy with - and they were able to do just that. I can't say enough nice things about Jessica, Amie, and everyone else in the office. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone who needs an attorney. They know what they're doing and, most importantly, truly care about their clients.

Lauren held my hand through the entire process. Literally. She saw how scared I was of the entire thing, but her and her team are some of the most kind and empathetic people I’ve ever met. I loved the open line of communication, I could message them whenever I needed, and they’d be very swift with a reply. I spoke to MANY attorneys before I chose Lauren, and she was the only attorney I spoke to where it seemed like she genuinely CARED about me, my story, and my child. She fought very hard, aggressively, and with passion. She made me very prepared and did so much to ease my anxiety. Other attorneys told me what I needed couldn’t be done. But she fought so hard that what seemed impossible to other attorneys, was a walk in the park for her. I’d recommend Lauren to anyone. Eternally grateful !!!

I will start off by saying our case did get resolved, but this was also an easy slam dunk case that shouldn’t have cost this much.
We were trying to terminate the biological mother’s parental rights but she was charged with murder and plead to manslaughter and had been in prison for the last 2.5 years and looking at 8 more years and had not had contact with the 5 year old child for the last 3 years.
I initially was told this could all be resolved for $5k retainer and that’s why we hired Spencer. However, at the docket call the other side wanted to proceed with jury trial which no one expected. They had to scramble to get the case together as they admitted they hadn’t really looked at the case over the last 6 months for trial on a Monday. We were told he needed another 10k to go to trial. Well they prepped for trial (mostly the paralegal) and last minute on Friday right before the trial, the mother signed over her parental rights. 3-4 days of prep and not going to trial blew through $7k of our retainer in addition to the initial $5k we gave them?? We expected something like $5k but $7k? How much more would we have had to pay if we had gone to trial which the they thought would last 2 days?? Definitely look at the prices and sign something in writing before you hire them
The mother and her lawyer stalled and duped us and our lawyer into spending all this money and time for nothing and our lawyer did not anticipate any of this.
The law firm also acted like they were very busy with other cases. They took a few days to a week and sometimes it took a second email for them to respond to anything. I would say not the worst but not the best law firm given our experience. If I could go back I think I would’ve gone with another firm honestly.

I was in a recent custody battle and needed an attorney for representation. I went on Google and found the Nilsson’s Legal Group. Had a conversation with Mr. Spencer Nilsson and he assured me of plan of action for my hearing. Here I am 6 months later with custody of my 2 children and child support free. I would recommend them to anyone who needs legal assistance in their child support hearings. Spencer did what he said he was going to do and he kept his word! Thanks again to The Nilsson Legal Group for all your help!

Lory is the worst attorney for males. Please do NOT waste your money. I made a review on her before and it seems that it has been deleted. I hired her on a custody case presented SO much evidence for her to use and bring up in court and she CHOOSE not to present or bring up MOST of the things I provided for her. She has no fight in her doesn't for you to get the best most reasonable outcome. She came into court really unprepared and didn't help prepare me for the terminology. Upon hiring a different attorney is when I realized the mistake I made in hiring her. The initial court is what sets the tone for how things will proceed forward. It sets the tone for how things will follow and the emphasis and fight She put into the initial court it was as if she just waved the white flag without fighting it.

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.

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.
