I dont dislike Andrew Tatgenhorst as a person even though he does appear very bored and generally disgruntled. However, I do have experience with him as opposing counsel and my genuine feeling/opinion is that he’s bad for kids. Andrew ramps things up, serving only himself in legal fees, and seemingly has no sight of the child at the core of the dispute. Thus, districts are paying taxpayer dollars to Andrew’s attitude rather than to children’s services. I didn’t find Andrew to be incredibly honest, the opposite in my experiences. I also noted that Andrew focused quite a lot (perhaps exclusively) on extraneous things that did not serve the child or resolution but designed to malign the student and/or their family. Unfortunately, I also witnessed harmful tactics. I would hope school districts would partner with solution oriented, student centered firms who can advance mutual interests and needs, support children, and save taxpayer dollars. I did not feel like this was the case with Andrew and Thompson Horton.

Would never pay these unethical and immoral clowns to represent me. I prefer ones who abide by the law instead of side stepping it.

Imagine a Law Firm that teaches people how to get around the law. Isn’t there some type of legal ethics involved here?

I called the office to explain a situation that came up regarding some traffic tickets that were taken care of by their office and was treated very rudely by their so-called Office Manager Alex, who then had the receptionist lie to me after he rudely hung up in my face when I called back to ask for his last name. Crystal the receptionist told me she didn't know his last name. I will never deal with this attorney and his lieing office staff again.

I also hired this firm about a year ago and have done nothing but they are always calling for money, payment needs to be there on time. Very disappointed, they don't inform their client of anything until the last very minute. Will never recommend them for any time of legal advice.

The negative reviews are absolutely true! I attempted to file for divorce in 2009. I payed Karyn upfront and trusted her because of our affiliation. She never returned my calls or emails. DO NOT use this attorney.

Karyn took over a year to file for us, was paid in full.
Ignored calls, messages and emails, waited 3 years to file then ignored it and case got dismissed. She let her license expire, and has no regard for others. Do not use her!

Karyn did a fine job for me during my lengthy case. She has been representing me since 2010. We have been to Court several times and she never lets me down. She does her job well and she knows what she is doing. 'Kickin Karyn', I like to call her, even traveled out of town to represent me. I cannot thank her enough.

I found out that she did malpractice on my mother's case. She told my mom that the case settled. My mom signed the release form to accept the settlement and the attorney gave my mom her "portion" of the settlement. In a nutshell, the statue of limitations of the case had expired. My mom could no longer proceed with her case with another attorney. Mom didn't do anything about all this, she is of she & continue with pain due to her fall. Don't waste your precious time with her. It's not worth it.

We used this attorney and she does not answer phone calls nor does she have the complete knowledge required to thoroughly represent someone. It was like pulling teeth to get a call back or email reply from her. Years later and the case is still open!

I hired Mr. Lombardino for a child custody issue. It was extremely expensive, only to lose custody because he failed to show up to court. I was notified months later of the ruling. I have received very poor customer service from him. His assistant is very rude.

My husband and I hired Mr. Lombardino 2/2009 because during our initial interview we thought he was the sharp and knowledgeable attorney that we needed to handle a custody, child support and contempt issues. We did notice that Mr. Lombardino only had 1 full time assistant and 2 part time law students working in his office. Since Mr. Lombardino has worked our case he has filed incorrect pleadings, was late for a court date, which had to be re-scheduled because of his tardiness and he still charged us for his time, & does not return phone calls or keep appointments. This attorney will take your money but will not give you proper customer service. After expressing my concerns to his assistant, she simply stated that if we are not satisfied then we should fire Mr. Lombardino. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone.

Matthew was not responsive throughout the process. He said it would be $1K to help me. 5 weeks after paying him I still had no information on next steps, he kept saying he would write a letter. After 5 weeks of no action I asked for my money back and he kept $250 due to a phone call we had. I would not recommend him.

Receptionist answered the phone, I said good morning instead of good afternoon, and as I was correcting myself she just hung up on me. Good to know this is how they treat people.

Called to get a consultation and quote. Person who answered asked me to describe what happened so they could transfer my call. Once I got transferred again they asked again for me to describe the event. Then I was told I’d get a link to type up a statement about the event. When I got to the link there’s no option for my cases scenario so I have to call back just to figure out they don’t take my kind of cases. Terrible service, would not trust the attorney anymore than the clerks considering how bad the consultation process is

Ms. Higginbotham is very nice and punctual, but was disappointed when she didn't keep her word in her dealings. There's a Judge with a pretty bad reputation named Madison, and unfortunately she should have looked up his disciplinary history as well as the women's allegations against him, before she threw her lot in with him.

I'd do my research first, wish I had. Ms. Higginbotham is quick to give her word, and just as quick to not follow up. Pretty bad quality for an attorney - and after hiring this attorney, I would not recommend her to anyone.

I had similar suspicions as the other reviewer, but I'm afraid that Ms. Higginbotham was misleading at best with her dealings with me. She was directly dishonest with me, and I personally wouldn't take Ms. Higginbotham's word as an attorney.

He was really good at selling himself for his service making you feel like you are hiring the right attorney. After he takes your money, you are on your own. You are better off burning your money than supporting this attorney.

International "legal giant" Holland Knight has continuously refused to provide my legal files while abetting Alex "Sandy Hook" Jones's ongoing conspiracy with their former law partner Eric Taube whom they continued to advertise as a "trusted advisor" while having transcripts of Taube's inconsistent sworn statements/perjury in the hearing on my Motion to Disqualify in in U.S. Bankruptcy Court (Tex. W. D. Bank. 20-10118) when he appeared directly adverse to my interests (while concurrently representing me in ravis Co. TX Case No. D-1-GN-07-000618), which he directly countermanded when impeached in Travis Co. TX Case No. D-1-GN-18-001610, admitting that he did represent me. This fraud is not just bad for me, but it involves property that Taube conspiratorially formed in breaches of duty to me and to the entities he advised me to form, one of which he represented (without waiver or disclosure of conflict of interest (Free Speech Systems, LLC)) with Alex Jones, David Jones, and Carol Jones, whose tortious interference, fiduciary breaches, fraudulent transfers and fraud have been ongoing for over ten years. Holland Knight is based in the UK and its intentional bad acts of its and its Deputy Counsel's actual knowledge are contributory to alleged ongoing bankruptcy fraud in Tex. S. D. Bank. 22-33543. Contact me, FBI, DOJ, - Kelly Morales P/K/A Kelly Jones. I would not say these things about a massive international law firm if I could not prove it (very easily). Texas AG, Holland Knight has abetted the alleged falsification of government documents of its knowledge and fraud on the US Bankruptcy Court. Please contact me and please pursue all necessary temporary and permanent iinjunctive relieve to protect Texans from Holland Knight. The property that has been continuously defrauded of me and of the entities in which I hold interest has constituted hundreds of millions of dollars made without authority by copyright and trademark infringement, at best (and alleged copyright counterfeit, among other things.)

This guy was horrible. He failed to get protective order in timely fashion or meet with me and tried to convince me of splitting my son 50/50 after the father abandoned, stalked, harassed, and was mentally unstable. He then said he needed an extra $7k retainer on top of $2.5k he already received. I fired him the next day and he refused to give any of the 7k back nor did he provide a single invoice. This man is a THIEF and should not be allowed to practice law for his lack of ethics.

He didn't seem to really work on the details of my case until the very day of mediation. Prior to that, he forgot about our meetings that didnt involve his payment and wasn't prepared for them which left us discussing the exact same things we had already discussed; yet, he had no problem charging me for that meeting and thensome. During one meeting (in which I paid him more $) he yelled and threw papers at me when he got upset that I wouldn't just agree with his point of view of how I should just forget about getting things that the mediated contract noted should have occurred. Yes, I know that complaining about paper being thrown at me sounds silly because it was merely paper, but it should not have happened in the first place. I never felt like he was "on my side" and his advice during mediation was just to give into what the other side demanded since it'll cost more $ in the long run...but that didn't stop him from charging me more than $3,000 after that! Very unprofessional! It'll be a waste of YOUR time and money.

Would not return phone messages or emails. Completely dropped the ball on our case. Did not follow through with steps needed to move forward. Had to find a new lawyer to pick up where he stopped. So disappointed in his professionalism.

Mr. Lucas represented me briefly in a child custody issue. I did not feel he helped me whatsoever and would not recommend him to anyone.

First of all, Mr. Lucas can not refrain from yelling and cursing at his clients, paralegal and answers his phone calls in front of clients while cursing at the top of his lungs and pounding his fist on his desk. He does not do what is simply in his job description. He lost records pertaining to my case, showed late for court, was verbally reprimanded by judge for not being prepared and having wrong case file. During the trial Mr. Lucas objects to nothing, he just sits there.

I hired David for a DUI, and after receiving my payment and expecting to go to trial he informs me he is not a trial attorney and to look else where. Run people! He knows the system well, and will tell you anything to get you to pay then withdrawal from your case over any little dispute about his style of representation. He took thousands of dollars from me.
Beware!

I would not rehire this attorney if you put a gun to my head. Simply put? Completely unprofessional. The contract he gave me was a wrinkled sheet of paper that he informs me his dog walked across and I even have text messages where he called me a liar which to my understanding my lawyer is hired to be my advocate not to act as a person telling me I’m lying when I paid him to represent my innocence. Look elsewhere people. He also upcharged out of me for his services. You’d honestly be better representing yourself.

Would give ZERO stars If I could. Communication was atrocious. Lauren failed to follow through with our executed agreement, missed court deadlines, failed to file paperwork in a timely manner and failed to make court appearances. Her actions led to the dismissal of my case before my day in court. Now it's too late. Find a responsible attorney, instead.

I've had a few attorneys before. Lauren started off pretty well. She told me everything I wanted to hear to get my case the basically disappeared.

International "legal giant" Holland Knight has continuously refused to provide my legal files while abetting Alex "Sandy Hook" Jones's ongoing conspiracy with their former law partner Eric Taube whom they continued to advertise as a "trusted advisor" while having transcripts of Taube's inconsistent sworn statements/perjury in the hearing on my Motion to Disqualify in in U.S. Bankruptcy Court (Tex.

This lawyer is horrible! She overbilled for everything, did not communicate with parties, filed things late, and made tremendous mistakes. She then tried to cover her mistakes (at my expense) by putting off my case, damaging it, as well as hiding behind her father. She also was unaware of the law in Harris County (she spent many years doing other things since law school). Beware of this lawyer!

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.
