I can't say enough great things about Amanda and Brandon. When other law firms did not want to take my case they stepped up and won BIG! I won't name the insurance company that was giving me a hard time, but wow did they give me a hard time after their client hit me while I was working. Their staff was so disrespectful and just when I was about to lose hope Amanda and Brandon came to the rescue. They were amazing but overall professional and patient. I wish I could give me them a million stars🙂. Look no where else this is the law firm to choose.

I went to Aric for a consultation on a property matter. Aric was knowledgeable and straight forward in his assessment of my situation. He took the time to present me with all possible outcomes depending on what course of action I chose. I was very pleased with his level of service and professionalism.

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

My wife and I had to deal with CPS so we hired Valerie to represent us, and we are so happy we did! She laid out a plan, kept us in the loop, and got us through the case with a favorable outcome. Well worth the money! Thank you so much!

WIth Hector and his associates, i felt like family. They were always honest and just a phone call or email away to reassure me and tell me exactly how the case was going. The many years of experience resonated when they walked the halls and the courts of Bexar County, as everybody always greeted them like friends. There was never a rush to conclude my case as they slowly and manticulously worked to get me the best possible outcome. They never made any promises, but the outcome was better than I could have ever asked for. All businesses of San Antonio should be run like the offices of Hector Gonzales. My family truly thanks you!

Ive known good Attorneys But I im very impressed with the work Tim Rountree does he got my felony case dismissed in just one court day He got to the court and after just 10 minutes off speaking to the prosecuter I saw him go to the judge and in less then 15 minutes we came out and he gave me my motion to dismiss sing by the judge If you are ever in need off any legal assistance don't go waist time and money with No one else...I've known attorneys through out my life but had never seen such an impressive job done and not only that but Quick.

Mr. Rountree is not just a great lawyer but also an incredible human being. As a nurse, I’m accustomed to dealing with high-stress situations in my profession, but this legal situation was entirely new and overwhelming for my family and me. From the moment we met Mr. Rountree, he guided us through this unfamiliar process with care and expertise. He is trustworthy, dependable, and made it possible for me to focus on my work while knowing my little brother’s case was in the best hands.
Mr. Rountree is professional, communicative, and dedicated. Despite his busy schedule, he always took the time to respond to us and ensure we felt supported every step of the way. My little brother made a mistake, but Mr. Rountree helped the judge see that he is a good person who simply made a poor decision. Thanks to his efforts, the consequences were significantly reduced, and for that, we are forever grateful.
What truly sets Mr. Rountree apart is his honesty and the way he genuinely cares about his clients and their families. He doesn’t treat you like just another case, he treats you with respect, compassion, and understanding. In our last conversation, I told him that there isn’t enough money in the world to pay for what he did for my little brother and my family. We truly see him as a human angel, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! He is the best!

Bradley Bellows was a wonderful, informative, and strong handed lawyer during my divorce matters. He was thorough, patient, strategic, and logical which can be hard in matters where emotions are high. Not only was I navigating a divorce case but also a criminal case against my ex husband and with Mr.Bellows advocacy and agency I was able to find a balance for my child’s wellbeing while also respecting my own autonomy in the matter. I will continue to refer him to friends and family alike looking for someone who is trustworthy,
level headed and an advocate for sound minded law. Thank you for everything you did for my family! Forever grateful.

I felt in very capable hands. The first meeting was about setting expectations and receiving guidance on different aspects of estate planning. After the preliminary meeting the documents were sent for review electronically for any modifications. The last part was the signing of the documents. The whole experience was very professional, thorough and efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend Ryan to any of my friends or family.

I consulted with the Law Office of Steve C Buitron, PLLC in relation to very pressing Family law matter and spoke to Attorney Steve Buitron multiple times. His legal advice were both spot on, and steered me away from having to spend a fortune to seek resolution. Attorney Steve Buitron embodies ALL of the core principles of the legal profession in his professional practice. I highly recommend this Law Office.
Thank you!!

The team at DMCA worked on my case for several years, their dedication to putting together a solid case shows. Very hard working attorneys that were very knowledgeable in the law. They helped guide me through this complicated process. Magaly Rojas and David Armendáriz were there with me step by step and were always able to answer my questions and concerns any time I needed it. I am very appreciative of their time, and long hours they put into my case.

Excelente bufete de abogados para cualquier tema migratorio. Traté con varios de ellos ya que ellos llevaron mi caso cuando aplique para la residencia (Faye Kolly y Claudia Baellow), y también cuando apliqué para la ciudadanía (Claudia Baellow y Linda Garcia)
Jamás tuve un problema o diferencia con ellas. Contestaron todas mis preguntas, llamadas, correos electrónicos y demás. Aún cuando pregunté lo mismo varias veces. Aún cuando se me olvidaron cosas que ya me habían dicho, etc, etc. Toda la comunicación puede ser en español con ellas si es necesario. O en ambos idiomas.
Las he recomendado con toda confianza a varias amistades y familiares para sus preguntas y trámites migratorios. Hasta las he recomendado a extraños que preguntan "alguien sabe de algún abogado de migración...".

This was my first lawsuit. We started the case in 11/04 and settled it on 06/10/06.
There were some frustrations and anger along the way and in particular, if we should settle the case or go to trial and also regarding the settlement amount. Furthermore, I had some frustrations with the on-going detailed account of my personal property removed and personal history.
As with many lawsuits, the defendant did not want to accept liablity and did not want to pay. When the defendant is a company and the plaintiff is an individual with limited funds, the defendant will delay the case as long as possible.
We decided to settle the case since we never know what the jury will award and the defendant could appeal and continue to delay the outcome and add more costs to the case.
I also had another attorney review my attorney during the highest level of my frustration in March/April 2006..
To conclude, my attorney did his job reasonable well and settling the case was the right thing to do. When both sides are not happy with the settlement amount, then it was probably the right amount.

Frank Guerra and the crew here are very good and smart lawyers with drive and vision. I worked with Frank during law school at UT and he was always fair and very supportive toward me. A great mentor. Then I forged my own path and have started Falcon Law Group, PLLC. Frank made time to have lunch with me and show me around their office. We may be competitors (in theory), but the pie gets bigger for everyone (including the clients in their hardest times) if we all work professionally and collegially. A consummate professional. Special shoutout to David "Alex" Fuentes, an old buddy of mine who works for Frank now as a lawyer. Good group of folks.

He is very professional and makes things easy to understand. His assistant Lisa is great from the first meeting and explainging the process. To the meeting with Mr. McGhee and having to make a LOT of copies of my records. Only to find out later they were not needed and having to remove all the staples from what I brought. She is a true asset to his firm.
You will be truely happy with the results that Chance produces for you!

Brian Walters expertly guided me through a multi-year custody case that was only resolved after a week-long jury trial was held. At trial, Brian was uniquely able to convey empathy towards the other parent while still delivering the hard facts of the case. I believe this resonated with the jury as they were being asked to make a decision that reflected the best interests of the child and not the best interests of either parent. In my personal case, and I suspect in most custody cases, it is easy to demonize the other parent for what they did to you and how their actions are continuing to hurt your parent-child relationship. From my perspective, this is why it is invaluable to retain a legal team that is emotionally intelligent in how they present the facts of the case. Brian was incredibly adaptive when speaking with witnesses and able to effectively anticipate and respond to comments from opposing counsel. Brian unquestionably focused and presented on the best interests of the child and I am beyond grateful to have been able to work with him and his firm.
Logan Kilgore joined our team towards the end of multi-year custody case and brought a refreshing positivity in an otherwise draining situation. Logan swiftly appraised herself of the case and I immediately felt secure not only with her professionalism but more significantly in her level of care. Throughout the case Logan listened to my concerns, stayed focused on the child’s best interests, and used all resources available to accurately convey those concerns during a temporary order hearing and during a week-long jury trial. At trial, I was humbled by Logan’s ability to manage exhibits, coordinate and examine witnesses, and communicate with all involved parties. Further, she was able to accurately recall specific details of the case and then pull factual evidence from the exhibits to directly disprove statements made by witnesses or opposing counsel in a manner that still conveyed empathy to the other parent. Logan’s extensive preparation and emotional intelligence during delivery were instrumental in this case and I consider myself incredibly blessed to have worked with Logan and Walters-Gilbreath, PLLC.

Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.
Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:
- Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
- Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
- Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
- Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.
What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?
A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:
- Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
- Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
- Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
- Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
- Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
- Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.
Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.
How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?
Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
- Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
- Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
- Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.
The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.
How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:
- The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
- Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
- Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
- Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.
It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.
