Franklin Hopkins and his expert team represented me in defense of a complaint to the Texas Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners. Each person I came into contact with, including Mr. Atallah, Mr. Wilhelm, Ms. Hernandez, and Mr. Hargroder, was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I was guided through each step of the process and every question I asked was answered. Mr. Hopkins and his team communicated well and often, and made sure all information was submitted in the format and timeframe necessary. Their expertise and hard work in the field of license defense is invaluable. It was a wonderful day when they celebrated with me that my case had been dismissed with no fault found. I highly recommend their skillful and attentive services to anyone in need of a license defense attorney.

On January 27, 2023, I was involved in a car accident with a semi-trailer truck on IH-35 Northbound between Austin and Pflugerville. I sustained multiple injuries, including neck, lower back, knee, and head injuries.
After consulting many law firms in the Austin area, I hired FVF Law to represent me throughout the process. Hope Guardia was assigned to my case, and from day one, she was excellent. I explained my side of the story to her, and she told me that she believed I had a case. She immediately started gathering all the evidence about the accident and started handling the negotiations and claim process with the insurance company.
I was informed every step of the way. Hope would email or call me every time she communicated with the opposing council, and she would also follow up with me after every doctor’s appointment to check on me. She was caring and valued my case.
Hope Guardia and Mark Farris were knowledgeable and had much experience in accident law and settlement procedures.
The case took over 21 months before the settlement was reached because the insurance company was dragging the case. The opposing council kept rejecting every demand that was made by my lawyer until Mark Farris came on board to assist Hope with the case. Mark pushed the insurance company to settle the case or go to court. The first time I spoke to Mark, he assured me that he was going to be very aggressive with the opposing council, and he kept his word. Because of my injuries and all my medical bills, he insisted that the insurance company pay the full policy. Moreover, we ended up going to mediation, and the final settlement amount was very close to our demand. I think the settlement was fair given the circumstances.
All my medical bills have been paid, and I have put some money aside for future medical bills as well.
I hope what happened to me that day will never happen again to me or any of my family members. However, if I ever need an injury lawyer, I will definitely hire FVF Law Firm, especially Hope Guardia and Mark Farris. These two lawyers made me feel like a family member. For that, I am grateful for what an excellent job they did. Thank you, Hope, Mark, and FVF Law, for everything you did to help me get the best settlement in my case. Y’all are forever my lawyers!

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.

I was charged with an assault family member case last year and initially hired an attorney to represent me. However, I felt misrepresented due to poor communication and things not moving forward—I had no idea what was going on with my case.
That completely changed when I decided to work with Mr. Kevin Bennett. From day one, he provided me with far more information and updates about my case, including the police report, 911 call, and prosecutor’s notes—things my previous attorney never shared with me. What I appreciated most about working with Mr. Bennett was that he personally handled my case and kept me informed every step of the way.
Thanks to his dedication and expertise, my case was dismissed. I sincerely hope to never find myself in a similar situation again, but if I or any of my friends or family ever need a great attorney, without a doubt, I will call Mr. Bennett.

After speaking to a few different attorneys regarding my case, I knew that Kevin was the right fit for me. Kevin was extremely responsive, professional, and showed genuine interest in my case. It was apparent that Kevin is extremely motivated and has a wealth of experience in dealing with criminal cases. I cannot thank Kevin enough for assisting me in getting my Public Intoxication charge dismissed in a timely manner. Thank you.

When my son got in trouble with law enforcement, I turned to O’Connell West for help. Doug and Laurie did an amazing job. They steered us through the process, fought for my son and ultimately his case was dismissed. If you or someone you care about is in trouble, I highly recommend you hire O’Connell West.

Doug and his partner Ken represented myself and a co-defendant in what can only be called a gross miscarriage of justice. After showing the government the light, prosecutors doubled down due to ignorance, incompetence and politics - and Doug and Ken kicked their efforts into high gear. The result? Acquitted of every trumped up charge the state could come up with. Intelligent. Savvy. Diligent.

Not guilty! My case started pre-covid…so several years ago. Jeff never gave up on me and promised we’d have our day in court. Last week after 8 days of trial, the jury returned a verdict of NOT GUILTY! Let Jeff do for you what he did for me! I really enjoyed watching him do his thing in court…he’s the master!

PAY ATTENTION!!!!! I reached out to King because he had good reviews. He literally was the first & only lawyer I reached out to (also the 1st one that popped up..lol) thank GOD! We payed him a consult Fee due to how far he had to travel but ended up not needing to hire him because the case was dismissed. What I will say is that he was very easy to communicate with and always responded to my txt and calls. Although he did not represent us I trust and believe that he would have been the BEST choice.

Mr. King is a stellar attorney!! I consulted Jeff when I was made to show cause for false official statement and fraternization and was immediately impressed by him. He came highly recommended by a friend who also trusted and was let down by the system, but Jeff proved she was NOT guilty at a Court Martial. Jeff is very methodical, professional, thorough, very well spoken and has a presence that is unmatched. He owned the room at my Board of Inquiry with his calm, yet powerful demeanor and I saw how impressed the Board was by him from the start. His military legal experience has WELL prepared him to defend military members. I am a Mustang Naval Officer with a 23 year career that has been nothing less than honorable and I had been wronged by a system I have trusted my entire career. My only regret was that I did not hire Jeff prior to my NJP. I am confident if I had I never would had to face a show cause proceeding. If you are also being treated as guilty until proven guilty as I was, DO NOT hesitate! Jeff will tirelessly work to make them hear you! Jeff King is well worth your investment and he WILL protect the career you have put blood, sweat, and tears into! My Board unanimaously overturned the false official statement and voted to retain. I am extremely happy with the results and now have the closure I needed. I can now honorably retire!

We now have a realtor for LIFE. Aaron was with us every step of the way, answered all of our questions, kept us informed, and with all of the properties we looked at had driven COUNTLESS miles to help us find our new HOME. Watters Realty also helped us sell our previous home and I cannot say enough about the quality of people, the professionalism, knowledge, patience, and real estate skill of this company. I wouldn't recommend any other company for my friends and family when it comes to buying and selling a home! THANK YOU!

I was misidentified as a physician who lost a state license from another state. Since I was reported as the revoked licensed physician, I was questioned by my state board and had trouble finding employment due to the National Practitioner Databank report. I tried to correct this problem myself and got nowhere. A friend suggested Antonio Cobos, JD and things started moving real fast. Within a month of his letter to the reporting agencies, I received a corrected NPDB report with sincere apologies for their mistake. Dr. Cobos and Samantha are fantastic and I owe them for getting my future back.

After receiving a letter from the Texas Medical Board I talked to four attorneys on the phone and without a doubt felt the most comfortable working with Tony Cobos . He was very frank about what he could do for us and did not give us any false expectations as to costs or outcomes. He kept me informed throughout the process and ensured I was prepared to face the informal hearing. I found Mr Cobos very knowledgeable, honest and extremely supportive. I have no doubt that he is strong force in the area of matters related to medical license. I have been very pleased and impressed by the results he gets and tons of accusations from my fired angry employee were dropped. I would highly recommend Tony Cobos to any physician who has a case with TMB.

Having no experience in these types of situations, I desperately researched and found Mr. Lype. I had no idea what to expect. What I got from Mr. Lype was honesty, genuineness, and understanding. My case involved me having to talk about very difficult topics and he made this substantially easier to do.

If you are looking for a genuine, honest, compassionate attorney- Mr. Lype is your person. Thank you again for everything.

Louis has worked for me fo over 10 years. He has helped me with three TMB complaints that I won through his excellent guidance. After a recent employee issue that was causing me extreme stress, office manager, walked off the job, he answered my call at 6 PM on a Friday. He invited me over to his home to hang out right then and there because he understood I needed some emotional support. I have been at his home before over a previous stressful issue, my divorce after 22 years. Smarted person I know. Thinks extremely well on his feet during the moment. You will create a lifetime relationship with this man. Specifically, I do not utilize my medical practice carrier and use him self pay because that is how strongly I feel about him

Besides his tendency to make wild promises that he never keeps, his inability to act as a professional has cost me dearly.

Gabriella worked efficiently and thoroughly on my case. How do I know? Because she got my DWI dismissed! I was fully expecting to have months of probation and to pay a lot of court fees but Gaby was able to get my case thrown out due to lack of evidence! Further, she stayed very real and very transparent with me the whole while through. Her upfront and engaging personality gave me confidence that she was representing me in the right way. Additionally, her staff was respectful and very helpful by quickly responding to emails with my myriad of questions. I am so grateful to Gabriella and her team!

After being recommended to me by a friend, I hired Gabriella for my case. From the first meeting, I felt like I had a great connection with her and that she was well versed in the area I was arrested for. She encouraged me to meet with other attorneys as well to make sure I got a group of perspectives before deciding (which I respected). After choosing her she was fantastic about letting me decide how much communication we had, and did a great job of keeping me in the loop about the entire process. She'd remind of all things I needed to attend, what to expect, and realistic timeframes for when things would happen.
In the end, I was extremely pleased with the outcome she achieved in my case. Obviously I would have preferred not getting myself in this situation, but am extremely thankful I went with Gabi as both the process and the outcome went as well as they could have.

Gabi is an excellent attorney. She had my best interests in mind and was always up front and honest with me during the various ups and downs during my case.
She has a down to earth attitude and knew where I was coming from. Quick with a joke or a laugh she helped the whole process feel less intimidating.
Watching her in action in the court room is amazing. It was like watching a beautiful piece of art get created in fast forward.
I couldn't recommend her higher, she has mastered the art of defending those who can't defend themselves.

Mr. Ray will give you the best advice for your situation. It may not be what you want to hear, but Mr. Ray will not sugar coat anything just to get you to be his client then learn about your case on your dime. Integrity is a trait that I value greatly when it comes to human interactions. Our innate behavior tends to make us want to trust people when we are in need of help. Mr. Ray fully understands this and will tell you honestly he is not the attorney for your case if there is a more suitable match elsewhere. Mr. Ray is also very attentive to respond to phone calls and e-mails, which is important when minutes seem like hours when you are in that situation. If you are looking for an attorney with integrity and professionalism, Jason Ray will not disappoint.

The Texas Board Of Nursing (BON) served me with allegations such as "sleeping, medication errors, and assault" while on duty. I hired Mr. Montes to respond to the Board Of Nursing allegations. As a result, the Board did not take any action against me and the investigation was completed and closed based on my attorney's response to the board. That's the outcome of hiring an attorney like Mr. Rodney Montes with years of experiences and expert knowledge in the rule of law and proceeding of the Texas Board Of Nursing and the Texas Medical Board. I was satisfied with his prompt service; and I highly recommend him as your attorney.

In my 31st year as a healthcare professional, I found myself having to defend my license to practice. I first contacted another law firm but felt they fell short on compassion for my plight, and am very glad I looked further and chose "Rodney" Montes. When I came before the Board to defend my license and reputation, I had an attorney with me who is maximally experienced in the process and saw to it that I received consideration and my best chance for getting on with my career.

I consulted Mr. Barbour about a small business I have in multiple locations. He responded right away and was more than willing to help out a fellow veteran. Thanks to his guidance I was able to get with his teammates who specialize in the legal issues I was having with my partners. His hard work and dedication to ensuring that I was taken care of that my issues were resolved is the exact reason I would recommend him to anyone looking for legal help.

Don Michael is an amazing attorney. His analytical and strategic skills are on point and he has helped me and my family tremendously. He helped my daughter get a lesser charge and keep tickets that could have been menacing off of her record. He also developed an amazing strategic plan when other members of my family were in legal trouble. He is very intelligent but also warm, personable, and a great communicator. I can't think of any other attorney I would want by my side during times of legal stress.

What a Government Lawyer Can Do for You
A government lawyer specializes in legal issues related to government policies, regulations, and disputes involving public entities. Whether you are a private individual, business, or government agency, a government lawyer provides expert guidance on navigating the complexities of government law. These attorneys handle cases ranging from constitutional law, administrative law, regulatory compliance, and government contracts to defending or challenging government actions.
Government lawyers help individuals and organizations understand their rights and obligations under the law, represent them in disputes with government agencies, and assist in matters of government contracting, procurement, or public policy.
When Should I Hire a Government Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a government lawyer in several situations involving government regulations, compliance, or disputes. Common reasons to hire a government lawyer include:
- Government contracts and procurement: If you are bidding for or negotiating a contract with a government agency, a lawyer can help ensure compliance with federal, state, or local contracting rules.
- Regulatory compliance: Businesses operating in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, environmental sectors) often need legal guidance to comply with government regulations and avoid penalties.
- Government investigations: If you're being investigated by a government agency such as the IRS, SEC, or EPA, a government lawyer can help defend you against allegations or negotiate settlements.
- Challenging government actions: If a government agency has denied a permit, license, or benefit, a lawyer can help you appeal or challenge the decision in court.
- Constitutional and civil rights issues: If you believe your constitutional rights have been violated by a government entity, such as in cases involving free speech or discrimination, a government lawyer can help you seek justice.
- Public policy or lobbying efforts: If you are involved in lobbying or advocating for policy changes at the local, state, or federal level, a government lawyer can provide legal advice on compliance with lobbying laws and strategies for effective advocacy.
Hiring a government lawyer early in the process can help you navigate complex legal frameworks and avoid costly mistakes when dealing with government-related legal issues.
What Does a Government Lawyer Do?
A government lawyer provides a wide range of services that cover interactions between individuals, businesses, and government entities. They can:
- Assist with government contracts: Helping clients navigate procurement laws, drafting contracts, and resolving disputes related to government contracting.
- Provide regulatory compliance advice: Offering guidance on meeting regulatory requirements for industries subject to federal, state, or local laws.
- Handle administrative law matters: Representing clients before government agencies, such as appealing administrative decisions, applying for permits, or defending against regulatory enforcement actions.
- Challenge or defend government actions: Representing clients in lawsuits involving government agencies, including constitutional challenges, civil rights violations, or disputes over government decisions.
- Negotiate settlements with government entities: If a government agency is pursuing legal action against you or your business, a lawyer can negotiate settlements to avoid costly litigation.
- Advocate for policy changes: Advising clients on legal strategies for influencing public policy, including lobbying and drafting legislation.
- Litigate constitutional issues: Handling cases related to the Constitution, such as First Amendment rights, due process violations, or unlawful government actions.
How Are Government Lawyers Paid?
Government lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: For ongoing legal matters, such as regulatory compliance or government contract disputes, lawyers may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as drafting a government contract or filing an administrative appeal, some lawyers charge a flat fee.
- Retainer: For clients who need ongoing legal support, such as businesses frequently interacting with government agencies, a lawyer may charge a retainer fee. This is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Contingency fee: In some cases involving litigation, such as civil rights violations, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case.
It’s important to discuss fee structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Government Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a government lawyer depends on the complexity of the legal issue, the lawyer's experience, and their fee structure. Here are some general cost estimates:
- Hourly rates: Government lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For specific legal services, such as drafting a government contract, flat fees can range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the nature of the service.
- Retainer fees: A retainer for ongoing legal work with government agencies can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the scope and frequency of the work.
- Contingency fees: In cases where a lawyer works on contingency, their fee is usually a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or damages awarded if the case is successful.
Be sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your consultation to ensure that you understand the fees associated with your case.
Top Questions to Ask a Government Lawyer
When hiring a government lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and skills needed for your specific situation. Key questions to ask include:
-
What is your experience with government law cases?
Make sure the lawyer has substantial experience in handling cases or issues involving government agencies, regulatory compliance, or constitutional law. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services - whether by the hour, flat fee, retainer, or contingency fee - and request an estimate of costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your legal options and the likelihood of success based on your specific situation. -
How do you handle interactions with government agencies?
Ask about their approach to dealing with government entities and their experience with specific agencies relevant to your case (e.g., IRS, EPA, SEC). -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Ask about their experience with similar cases and whether they have achieved favorable outcomes in the past. -
Who will handle my case?
Clarify whether the lawyer you are meeting with will personally handle your case or whether junior attorneys or paralegals will do most of the work.
How to Check the Credibility of a Government Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable government lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Review their professional experience: Look for specific experience in government-related legal issues, such as regulatory compliance, government contracts, or administrative law, on their website or professional profile.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Check online reviews and ratings on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to get insight into the lawyer’s reputation and track record.
- Ask for references: Request references from previous clients who have worked with the lawyer on government-related matters to understand their experience and effectiveness.
- Check for membership in relevant organizations: Look for memberships in professional organizations such as the American Bar Association's Administrative Law Section or the National Institute of Government Procurement, which can indicate the lawyer’s focus on government law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a government lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant information and documents. Here’s what you should bring:
- Detailed description of your legal issue: Be prepared to explain your situation, whether it’s a regulatory compliance question, a government contract issue, or a dispute with a government agency.
- Relevant documents: Bring any paperwork related to your case, such as contracts, permits, letters from government agencies, or notices of investigation.
- A list of questions: Write down any questions you have about your case, including the legal process, potential outcomes, and costs.
- Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any relevant events, such as the issuance of government orders or interactions with government agencies.
- Goals for the outcome: Be ready to discuss what you hope to achieve, whether it’s a favorable settlement, regulatory compliance, or overturning a government decision.
By being organized and prepared, you can help your lawyer understand your situation more quickly and give you the best legal advice moving forward.
