If you are looking to hire the most phenomenal lawyer money can buy, please please please don’t hesitate to invest with Casey Davis!! Let’s face it, if one is searching for a Criminal Defense Attorney it’s likely due to a serious charge. Legal issues can be the most stressful, dark, and terrifying times in one’s life. The legal issues deeply affected our entire family and we were all searching and searching and happened to come across Casey Davis. Within minutes of being on the first phone call with Casey, we knew our search had come to an end. Casey was just the one to do the job!! We knew because she is the most caring, compassionate, authentic, intelligent, talented, empathetic, resilient, passionate (and the list goes on and on) humans I have ever spoken with. Unfortunately, we had dealt with other attorneys prior that were curt, rude, cold and just seemed too busy to actually listen to our needs. Casey was different…she was heads and shoulders above the rest. For the first time I felt safe and secure knowing that Casey had our back 100% and we would be saved from all the hell we were going through! She handled two cases for us simultaneously and promised to deliver a dismissal for both and that’s exactly what she did!! Casey kept me informed about the cases from start to finish. Never once did I have to reach out for an update. Casey works tirelessly for her clients and it’s evident in all her actions. She is always just a phone call, text, or email away! I was surprised because many times she would be reaching out to me long after many other lawyers call it a day. Not Casey…weekends, late evenings, etc she was there and I was never nervous or anxious to reach out for her when I needed her. Her knowledge of the Collin County court system is top notch and she even navigated Denton County effortlessly as well. She knows the right people to contact to get the quickest results. Casey took the sting and pain away from the tremendous amount of suffering myself and family were feeling due to an extremely unfair and unjust legal system. Casey identified the injustices we were facing from day one and promised to deliver justice and that’s exactly what happened! I feel I have a lifelong legal contact with Casey. I owe Casey a million thank yous for her tremendously spectacular performance. I hope this review can help someone out there. Just know, if you need a legal representative to advocate for you, Casey is the woman for the job. Please call her immediately! It will be one of the smartest decisions you will ever make. From my family to Casey…we love you and will always remember the dedication and advocacy you gave us when we needed it the most!!!!

Absolutely recommend her. Having zero experience dealing with legal issues, she is the first one i called in my lawyer selection process and within minutes of talking to her I knew she was the right person to represent me. Casey takes her time to get to know her clients so she can defend better. She was also very patient in answering questions. She went above and beyond to help. She was also pretty responsive to texts and calls. My experience working with her was awesome. During the few stressful months until the case got no billed, she was always on my side guiding me through and I am very thankful for it. She explained the approach she was going to take and pros and cons of doing it. Very satisfied.

My name is Johnathan I literally called just to get a little bit advice and a different perspective from another attorney to see what I can do with my case she set me up with a free consultation called me back immediately and sat on the phone with me 48 minutes out of her day gave me so much information and knowledge on my case it benefit me in so many ways she communicated things to me that my own lawyer didn’t even do. The impression she gave me on her in less than an hour was amazing taking the fact that I didn’t even see her face I would strongly recommend her to anyone very knowledgeable knows what she’s talking about get straight to the point and really acts like she cares about her clients. Definitely give her five stars definitely give her 110 out of 100 rating. Hope I don’t have to but if I ever need a lawyer she’ll be the first when I contact.

This attorney took the time and opportunity to talk with me about my case for nearly an hour at no charge. If at all possible I will retain her, but regardless, I was impressed!

Attorney Loretta Keller, is hands down the VERY best, most professional, efficient, effective & let’s not forget to mention, an absolute BOSS in the courtroom & outside of it. In 2016-2017 Loretta helped me fight to get my children back. The TX CPS Office we were dealing with, switched me to a different case worker- who did nothing but LIE & didnall she could to try and destroy my relationship with my children, get my rights terminated, & who wouldn’t allow me more than 2 supervised visitations a month (while I was in OK). Oh yeah, the most important part is that my children & I only lived in TX for less than 31 days- My children were with me in OK- & in no way shape or form in any danger, let alone Imminent Danger, the police proved that to the 1st case worker & ‘she didn’t believe them’ - & thus illegally custody of my children was taken & they placed them with toxic & substance abusing extended family. My aunt knew the original case worker (the one she called to get a case going, due to finding out we were moving back to OK) to remove us from the toxic, unhealthy situation & upon a judge signing the warrant to take my babies, that 1st Case Worker excused herself immediately- I’m assuming she did this so not to get caught fabricating a CPS Case for a “friend” & my children were therefore illegally seized. Loretta had her work cut out for her- My extended family is extremely narcissistic, my past is ugly, & the CPS office we were dealing with were obviously, & ‘Allegedly’ acting corruptly. She fought & pushed, & won my case 4 days before it would have gone to trial. If you ever have family problems concerning your children- you NEED & WANT Loretta Keller representing you. She does not mess around, and you better be ready to do WHATEVER she tells you. Trust her, it’s in your best interest & she is an Attorney with real morals. That is near impossible to find anymore. Seek out Loretta Keller, you will not regret it. Thanks Loretta, I never did get to thank you, or explain things that happened afterwards- but I’d love to send you a picture of My babies, Myself, My husband (still Bryan 🥹🥰) we’re one giant happy family and it’s truly all thanks to you!!!

Mr. Gold is one of the good guys. He has handled a very complicated matter that mushroomed into many complicated matters. He told me from day one that I will take care of you and he has. What started as one case turned into several and Mr. Gold has been there throuh the entire ordeal.

Spenser is the best! My son's dad had spent years manipulating him into wanting to go live with him. Every time we talked on the phone or emailed, she made me feel more confident about the situation and assured me that I was doing the right thing by fighting to keep him. She and Estina were always quick to respond to a phone call or email. Anything I needed, they had my back.

Angel Berbarie was an exceptional attorney.who exceeded my expectations in every aspect of my case. She guided me through one of the most challenging periods of my life with empathy and understanding, always making me feel heard and supported. Her responsiveness was unparalleled, and she was consistently available to address my concerns - so much so that I often felt like her only client, despite knowing she had many others. Most importantly, Angel was highly effective, navigating a myriad of very complex and challenging elements of my case and ensuring the best possible outcome. I will forever be grateful for her support and efficacy. I highly recommend her services.

Divorce is hard. It is even harder when you are not well represented. So, I knew I needed someone very special to represent me as I moved forward in pursuing an amendment to my child custody case as my case was considered high conflict. Jeff Domen and his paralegal, Meredith Lanis, are quite the DYNAMIC DUO! The representation I received, the sound legal advice, the support throughout the months leading up to trial, the validation I felt and received by both Jeff and Meredith is priceless. Meredith is absolutely amazing! She does not miss a beat! She is extremely personable and empathetic, and is meticulous in her work! Jeff is exceptionally strategic in his methodology. His personality is contagious, and I can say without hesitation, I am a better and stronger person now having known him. Who else can say that about their attorney? Jeff and Meredith have been a God send to me. I will be forever grateful for their help!
Jeff, you aren't just the best in Texas. You are the BEST ever!!!

I worked with Angel Berbarie, she was extremely prepared and when it came to arbitration, we got way more than I expected and I think it's due to her extreme diligence and focus. It was an expensive process, but I don't think anyone else could have done better.

Y’all I cannot speak highly enough of Sharon Easley and her team. We weren’t expecting this to go to the level it did. With my ex showing up pretty much last minute ( thought it wouldn’t be contested), Sharon worked diligently to pull out all the stops and work hard to protect my daughter. She took the other side off guard, having Information available that took this case to another level. She OWNED the courtroom and put the other side to shame. This woman has been changing lives for 25 years and I can see why. This might sound minimal. A simple name change. It was anything but. The complexity with a minor requesting a chance is not an easy feat. She went against the grain and spoke to my child who wanted to testify. This apparently is not common / allowed with these arguments. She had faith in my child and explained to the judge why she felt Kay would be able to articulate herself and the more than generous judge allowed for it. Again- not something typical at all. With Sharon’s confidence, intelligence and experience, she left the other side grasping at straws and visibly losing their composure. It was comparable to a cheetah taking down a baby gazelle. If you’re looking for someone willing to take unconventional chances to make changes in the standard family law outcome- call Sharon. She’s a beast and she wins. She’s willing to do what others won’t, to achieve what others don’t. I’m grateful for her, and she’s been a crucial part in teaching- and allowing my child to speak up against those who wrong her and giving her a rare opportunity to prove one should always act against what’s wrong. Allowing her to prevail in the end. We made changes today and it’s because she had faith in a Childs voice and took the leap of faith needed to offer my child a brighter future. Thank you Sharon. We will never be able to express just how much you’ve impacted our lives.

I've dealt with lawyers who really couldn't care less about supporting their clients and Sharon Easley is not one of them. You may not speak with her everyday but you can trust she is on your case. These things take time. Sharon is extremely knowledgeable in her field and will represent you fairly. Honesty is the best policy. If a client isn't upfront and is hiding stuff, you can bet they won't get a fair deal. I've hired Sharon to represent me and have every confidence that she will be the reason we walk away from our situation victorious. She's easy to speak with and very understanding. Sharon has given me the confidence to believe everything will be alright and I can relax.

I have know Ms Easley for 15 years and have utilized her services in business as well as domestic issues. Sharon is the most ethical and effective attorney of which I have ever been in contact. As a small business owner that sells to retail outlets, I have had several issues that required consultation and representation with her to include divorce cases from members of my family or friends. I recommend Sharon for any case in which she feels she is qualified. Most of the judges in this area know that when Sharon takes a case, especially where children are involved that she will not move forward unless it is in the best interest of the child. Therefore going into the courtroom that awareness is there. I have several friends that are either present or retired judges and to a person they respect Sharon and will be the first to admit that if a negative post appears regarding her it is probably from a client or lawyer that was at the opposing table in the courtroom. Her fees are very reasonable and results oriented.

I have had the pleasure of being represented by Justin twice now. During these situations, Justin made it clear to me he knows the law and the system he fights against for your best outcome. His attention to detail, knowledge of law, and reputation precedes him. Not once did I feel like I was ill informed about what to expect, what my options are, or how matters were going to go step by step. I felt in complete control over my future because of his representation. Outside of his representation in court hes willing to educate me in Texas laws with smaller matters beyond my understanding.Thank you Justin for everything you've done and continue doing for me!

I can’t say enough good things about Bill Bronson and the help he provided us. Although everybody’s case is different, from our initial meeting and throughout the entire process he answered every question and helped guide us through each and every phase of what everyone would agree is the unpleasant situation of owing back taxes. He always responded quickly to any concerns we had and really helped with keeping our minds at ease. Because we put our trust in Bill, we are now in a much better place and have finally been able to stop worrying about the “what ifs”. He is definitely on my list of favorite people! If you need any help with an IRS tax problem, don’t hesitate to give Bill a call.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You
A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.
Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.
When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?
Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:
- Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
- Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
- Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
- Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
- Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
- Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.
What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?
A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:
- Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.
- Preparing for mediation: Reviewing the facts of the case, gathering necessary documents, and advising you on potential resolutions.
- Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
- Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
- Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
- Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
- Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.
How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?
Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
- Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
- Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.
Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.
How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:
- Hourly rates: Typically between $150 and $500 per hour.
- Flat fees: For simple mediations, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Total mediation costs: Can vary widely, from $2,000 to $10,000 for straightforward cases, up to $10,000 to $50,000 or more for complex disputes.
Always request a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand total expenses.
Top Questions to Ask a Mediation Lawyer
Before hiring a mediation lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with mediation cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case. -
What is the likelihood of resolving my case through mediation?
Seek an honest assessment of whether mediation is suitable for your situation. -
How long will the mediation process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required. -
Will you personally handle my case?
Confirm who will manage your mediation and represent your interests. -
Can we pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if necessary?
Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.
How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
- Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
- Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
- Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
- List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
- Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
- Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
- Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
