Steve has worked on numerous commercial real estate transactions for my clients over the years. A few of those deals have been very complicated and we probably would not have been able to get them completed without Steve's expertise and attention to detail. Being a "deal-maker" and still protecting client's interests is a rarity with real estate attorneys...and he does it well. I highly recommend Steve and his team.

Farah was appointed to our case as mediator and did an amazing job with the parties! We thought we were only going to be able to settle on TO but she was able to get everyone to agree on final orders and everyone was happy with the agreement/outcome saving my clients money on attorney fees! Definitely recommend Farah as a mediator!

Worst attorney you can get I would not recommend miss mokolo spent over $22,000 she did the very minimum She’s not worth the $500 an hour she was charging compared to the other party which the attorney was cheaper and they seem like they were more prepared than she was and she was getting paid less than Miss Mokolo she Was not prepare when we were to go to court At one point I quote she said “good thing we didn’t have to go before the judge today because I can’t talk today” Invoices were always wrong. They even charge me for trying to make sure the invoices were right eventually she took off $750 off my bill because I told her she did not do a good enough job and that she was charging me to talk to them about their Mistake with invoices she said well at least we didn’t get your Right taken away she did not put enough safeguards in our final order. I still haven’t seen my child. It’s been over 10 months since we did the final order The final order has a lot of loop holes that the other side put in place to prevent me from seeing my child or to have a relationship with him Miss Mokolo should’ve caught the loopholes if she was a good attorney I reached out to them about the final order and told them what was going on, and they basically said that I needed to rehire them put in another deposit to try to fix things which I was shocked because I just spent over $22,000 now we have to go back and rehire someone that knows what they’re doing to try to fix their screw up this case that I was going through was easy. I gave them everything they needed charge me over $9000 to submit the documents I provided and when I looked at the stuff they submitted it was exactly the same stuff I gave them when I asked they said they had to change a little bit of it I don’t think that amount of over $9000 to change the word just a little bit to me look exactly the same word by word. It looks like they just Submitted what I sent them. I attach a picture of how the billing was Saying I owe all this money on the top, but on the bottom, it said it was paid off . As soon as you lose them as a client or you come from them about billing or anything, they will take you off and delete you/cant access my case so I hope this post could help anybody who is looking for a good attorney. I would not recommend this law firm.

I am VERY satisfied w/Brian White’s firm & both of the ladies who worked on my case w/whom I’ve dealt in the last year or so. Ashley was the one on it the longest, & just got it settled this week, obtaining OVER $10K MORE than that w/which I had said I’d be satisfied! It’s been 2.5years since the accident where I was hit by an uninsured driver & it seemed like the insurance I had (St. Farm), who ended up being the one’s having to settle w/me, dragged their feet for MUCH of that time but it could’ve dragged on much longer had it not been for Brian White’s legal firm, friends have told me.
So I THANK🙏🏼YOU, Mr. White, Ashley & every associate who had any hand in helping my case get settled! I appreciate 👉🏼every one of you👈🏼!
Wishing you ALL a HAPPY🎉2024 Holiday Season!
Peace!

I’ve had the worst experience dealing with this firm. After 4 years (and still counting), I’ve received little to no communication and the times I have, I was just given the runaround. I know this isn’t normal as I’ve dealt with Daspit in the past and they were on top of things; my case was settled within 6 months. I’m just not understanding 🤨

Miss Roque is the best of the best.. Her paralegal Joe is the best also.. I highly recommend this law firm to everyone.. I knew that I was innocent all along and wasn't talking no plea bargain for a crime that I didn't commit.. I was facing 2 to 20years in prison with a conviction.. The police and DA falsely arrested me on a warrant where I didn't commit any crime.. and violated my bill of rights and constitutional rights as an American when they arrested me .. this was a long petty hideous process.. I remained calm and I always knew that I was innocent from the beginning.. Thank you Sara and Joe for helping me with this whole ridiculous problem.. and also helping me, believing in me, and my innocence from the beginning.. also, helping me keep my freedom.. they really do care about their clients here and keeping them free.. ❤️ 💙💪🦾🦵🦿👊👊☝️🤟🤟👍👍💯👏

Mr. Vaughn, William Raymond helped me with a dismissal of a Theft Case. I highly recommend his services. He always answered calls/messages quickly, was very supportive, most importantly very official & professional. I will not hesitate to contact him or his office in the future for guidance. This is the attorney you want by your side! Thank you Mr. Vaughn, William R (:

Can’t seem to get an update from my case. For 2 months I have been calling to get an update and all I get is, “we will give you a call back”! What kind of place is being run here?! Bounced around from case manager to case manager and then supervisor supposed to call back as well? Horrible service!!!! If you want to wait months for a call back and never get updates this is the place to go!

I don’t know how he got a 5 star rating. From day one he’s been a horrible attorney for me. Don’t communicate well. I had to text him from another phone number to see was he just ignoring me or was he busy. I found out no he’s just ignoring me. Shows up to court late. Don’t keep his promises and will take your money. My mom and girlfriend don’t live in Texas but they was warned about him. This lady told them to tell me to hire somebody else but no I wanted to keep my money in black people hands and got screwed on a Misdemeanor charge. Can’t even beat a MISDEMEANOR!!!

I had an attorney working my case for almost a year before I added Fitz. My previous attorney wasn't transparent, and as far as I'm concerned, he didn't do anything to prepare me mentally or help the stress of facing 2-10 years. Fitz provided transparency, and got the case dismissed without me having to go to trial. The best thing about it is the price that he charged me. I would 100% recommend him for anything that you need.

Attorney Lawson did an awesome job managing myself and my husband's immigration case. I appreciate his professionalism and wealth of knowledge regarding the immigration process. He's very thorough and made certain we had everything we needed. Our process took under 6 months. My husband and I are still in shock that it happen so quickly. He was also very attentive and always responded to a text/phone call to address our questions and concerns when necessary. That definitely made this process easy and stress free. Because of Attorney Lawson, my husband was awarded permanent residency by green card in the US. We are eternally grateful for the services rendered. He and his staff helped alter our circumstance for the better. If you are looking for a great Immigration Attorney, please reach out to the Law Office of Attorney Sope Lawson. You will be glad you did. Thank you, Sir. We are more that grateful for your help!!! God Bless!!!

Attorney Thornton and her incredible legal staff (shoutout to Nadine!) are exactly what you need if you want to not only win but also be treated like a human being. Their degree of compassion and understanding is unparalleled, and I could not imagine getting through this legal process without them. There are not enough words to explain how grateful I am for everything they have done for me. If you are considering employing this law firm, stop thinking about it and sign on the dotted line. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

Can't say enough amazing things about this firm. You will not find people more dedicated to their clients, their well-being, and ensuring that every person they come in contact with feels heard, understands their options and a path forward. Byron and Talia are 2 of the most amazing people here and you'd be honored just to get to work with them.I cannot say enough good things.
If you are injured on the job, in a car accident, truck accident, refinery accident, etc., do yourself a favor and go to the people who live by the mantra "We do the work." It will be the best decision you can make!!!

Arpita Legha, my attorney, provided exceptional service from start to finish. She consistently kept me informed about potential outcomes and charges. I am very satisfied with her work as my family attorney. I also appreciate her follow-up call even after the case was concluded to check on how things were going. Thank you, Arpita, for your timely responses to my questions and for your unwavering support throughout the process.

For me, I think critically evaluating Google reviews of any business, service, etc — myself & my own business included — a lifeskill.
I am a big fan of basic respect, clear communication, & thorough professionalism. I myself make mistakes; I own them, 200%, made knowingly or unknowingly.
Some of Arpita Legha’s practices on the “uncontested legal separation” I initiated did not sit well at all with me OR with my former legal spouse either.
I tried to see all angles of Arpita’s actions & manners — very often extending benefit of doubt for her choices. I reasonably participated in how Arpita went about things. Then, I chose to take pauses as I needed from her obvious unprofessional (sometimes inhumane) behaviors.
My feedback for Arpita & the Oxner Legha Law Firm:
• I found Arpita’s conduct unprofessional on several occasions & accounts.
• Arpita laughingly mentioned a client’s identifiable name & case info — in front of them — with me present — on my 1st call with her & Madeline. I did not find it funny at all. Neither did the other client.
• I felt pressured by Arpita for my time, responses, & outcomes way too many times to count while conducting my paid services.
I liken her toxic behaviors to that of an alligator.
If I initiate a process — as humanly & professionally possible, shouldn’t I reasonably decide the pace of my OWN case — under the guidance of the “professional” I hired???
• I communicated in writing about my life-threatening documented illness & how I needed time (which was provided to me first), then it went back to the same pushiness for possibly meeting the firm’s targets, Arpita’s schedule, the court’s schedule, whatever else, etc.
It was literally sickening for me, at times, to deal with Arpita’s behaviors — despite making my voice heard in writing & by my actions.
• Once, over phone, after listening to how the situation was evolving, Arpita mentioned an additional service I needed — communicating very clearly to me over phone that she’d include that service under my retainer.
When I put that service in writing over email, it appeared Arpita’s language changed. Arpita went back on her word.
I found myself with an additional bill, albeit some deducted off at the conclusion of my services. A sales & an I’m-sorry tactic, if I may?
• At the end of my services, I still did not get a breather. I noticed Arpita’s calls & emails, pushing for rapid responses within 24-48 hours each time.
I think I am a pretty responsible grown up who paid upfront for (un)professional services.
I believe I am aware of exactly how things work & when, for whom. Especially through my experience with Arpita & her firm.
I kindly asked questions & kindly responded to those asked of me. I believe my former legal spouse chose to behave the same as well. How would I know? It was in writing.
I am not sure what Arpita’s main issue was — maybe my former legal spouse & I never reached the “contested” stage?
I believe in decent trust between client & service provider.
At the end, I relied on email alone with Arpita because I was tired of keeping up with her calls. Why? I found it hard to trust her word.
• In the end, after I completed my items — rather than own up to her chosen behaviors & style, I found Arpita did not close my case hospitably at all. It appears I was literally dismissed with an attitude.
• I am unaware of what Arpita’s deeper personal or professional issues may or may not be. I do not desire to know.
I wish I could speak about the positives. I wish I could share those things that stood out to me.
Unfortunately, the areas for improvement weigh heavily on my experience with Arpita & her firm. I neither recommend Arpita Legha’s services nor the Oxner Legha Law Firm.
I find basic professionalism & hospitality priceless. I believe no matter how much I pay, the 2 may or may not be guaranteed anywhere.
My experiences with Arpita Legha & through her, the Oxner Legha Law Firm, was one such stark example of that. For both my former legal spouse & I.

If you're in need of an attorney, I highly recommend Colby Lewis. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt at ease. Colby's approach is both professional and personable, making it easy to discuss sensitive issues and complex legal matters.
Colby took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and provided clear, actionable advice every step of the way. His dedication to my case was evident, and his expertise ensured I felt confident in the legal process. Colby's compassionate demeanor, combined with his deep knowledge of the law, truly sets him apart.
What impressed me most was Colby's commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. He consistently communicated updates and was always available to answer questions, making me feel like a priority.
If you're seeking an attorney who genuinely cares and will fight tirelessly on your behalf, look no further than Colby Lewis. His exceptional service and heartfelt dedication make him the best choice for anyone needing an attorney. I will certainly utilize his firm for any future legal needs.

He’s definitely worth the time any money and new friendship. Straight up honest guy!

My family used the Holland Elder Care Law team to help us when our previous attorneys suddenly closed shop without warning us and my Dad's Medicaid status was not renewed. Michael Holland and Martin Sabel did an excellent job gathering the information, filing the right forms and ultimately needed to bring the HHS of Texas to court for failing to make a timely determination of benefits. I am an attorney myself but this area of law is so convoluted and so tricky that you really need someone on your side who knows how all of this works and can navigate the waters safely. They were instrumental in restoring my dad's Medicaid benefits. I highly recommend them.

I can't thank the staff at Holland Elder Law Firm enough for all they've done to help get my mother on Medicaid. My family and I found out very quickly how hard it is to apply on your own. We were recommended to Martin Sabel and he was such a pleasure to work with. He was very sympathetic to our situation and went through this with us every step of the way. He was available to answer every question we had and had so much patience with us. There is no way this would've gotten done without their help. They really do all the difficult parts of this process. To Martin, Michael, Susan & Kathy, thank you for all the help and support. My family is so grateful to you all. If your looking for help with Medicaid, please give Holland Elder Law Firm a chance. You won't be disappointed.

We would like to express a huge thank you to the team at the Holland Law Firm, especially Martin, Kathy and Susan. When we realized we needed to apply for Medicaid for my mother, we had no idea where to start or how to proceed. We are so grateful that we were led to the team at Holland Law Firm. They were kind, professional, knowledgeable and very well organized. It is clear that they care about their clients and have a true passion for what they do. We would highly recommend them.

Worst attorney you can get I would not recommend miss mokolo spent over $22,000 she did the very minimum She’s not worth the $500 an hour she was charging compared to the other party which the attorney was cheaper and they seem like they were more prepared than she was and she was getting paid less than Miss Mokolo she Was not prepare when we were to go to court At one point I quote she said “good thing we didn’t have to go before the judge today because I can’t talk today” Invoices were always wrong. They even charge me for trying to make sure the invoices were right eventually she took off $750 off my bill because I told her she did not do a good enough job and that she was charging me to talk to them about their Mistake with invoices she said well at least we didn’t get your Right taken away she did not put enough safeguards in our final order. I still haven’t seen my child. It’s been over 10 months since we did the final order The final order has a lot of loop holes that the other side put in place to prevent me from seeing my child or to have a relationship with him Miss Mokolo should’ve caught the loopholes if she was a good attorney I reached out to them about the final order and told them what was going on, and they basically said that I needed to rehire them put in another deposit to try to fix things which I was shocked because I just spent over $22,000 now we have to go back and rehire someone that knows what they’re doing to try to fix their screw up this case that I was going through was easy. I gave them everything they needed charge me over $9000 to submit the documents I provided and when I looked at the stuff they submitted it was exactly the same stuff I gave them when I asked they said they had to change a little bit of it I don’t think that amount of over $9000 to change the word just a little bit to me look exactly the same word by word. It looks like they just Submitted what I sent them. I attach a picture of how the billing was Saying I owe all this money on the top, but on the bottom, it said it was paid off . As soon as you lose them as a client or you come from them about billing or anything, they will take you off and delete you/cant access my case so I hope this post could help anybody who is looking for a good attorney. I would not recommend this law firm.

Non fake review. I also have paperwork I can load with pictures that I was a client if this were to get denied. I should have placed this review long time ago. They dropped the ball on my case I paid a lot of money for them to only lose the evidence on court day. They simply said there’s nothing we can do. In his video he explains how he likes to get people and court while there defenses are low. That is an accurate description of how they act when they can’t/ couldn’t win against the court. they take the same approach to their customers after that. If they’re willing to fix this problem without additional cost to myself I’d be glad to change the review.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Tania Glowinski for my EB2 NIW application, and I'm thrilled to say that it was approved! From the start, Mrs. Tania and her team was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, guiding me through every step of this complex process. She was always responsive to my questions and provided clear, detailed explanations that made the entire process much less stressful. Mrs. Tania has exceptional expertise in immigration law, which gave me great confidence in her ability to handle my case. She went above and beyond to ensure all my documents were perfectly prepared and that every detail was accounted for, which I believe was a key factor in the success of my application.
I highly recommend Mrs. Tania Glowinski Gonzalezon to anyone seeking assistance with immigration matters.

Patrick has been my attorney since 2012-2013 when I first applied for DACA. Since then, he has been handling all my Immigration matters. Last November Patrick and his staff helped me file all my AOS applications which were approved Last July. He has always been really nice, polite and helpful, as well as his paralegals. Every time, I had a question he made sure I got the information and answers needed. Thank you again Patrick, we'll be in touch for my next step in a few years!

What a Probate Lawyer Can Do for You
A probate lawyer assists with the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate. This often involves guiding executors (if a will exists) or beneficiaries (if no will exists) through the probate process to settle the estate according to the deceased’s wishes or applicable laws. Probate lawyers can help validate the will, distribute assets, resolve disputes among heirs, handle outstanding debts or taxes, and ensure the estate is legally and efficiently administered.
Whether you’re an executor of an estate or an heir facing probate proceedings, a probate lawyer can help you navigate the often-complex legal process to ensure the estate is settled correctly.
When Should I Hire a Probate Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a probate lawyer when you are responsible for managing the estate of a deceased individual, especially in the following situations:
- The estate has substantial assets: If the estate includes significant assets like real estate, investments, or business interests, legal assistance is often necessary to handle the distribution properly.
- The will is being contested: If there are disputes among heirs regarding the validity of the will or the division of assets, a probate lawyer can help resolve the conflict.
- The estate includes complex or unclear provisions: If the will contains complicated instructions or there are no clear beneficiaries, a lawyer can ensure that the estate is administered according to legal requirements.
- There is no will (intestate estate): When a person dies without a will, the estate is subject to intestacy laws, which determine how assets are distributed. A probate lawyer can help navigate this process.
- Debt or tax issues exist: If the estate owes significant debts or is subject to estate taxes, a probate lawyer can help ensure debts are paid appropriately and taxes are minimized.
- Probate disputes: If family members or other parties are disputing the distribution of assets or challenging the executor's actions, legal representation is crucial to defending your rights and ensuring the estate is handled properly.
Hiring a probate lawyer early in the process can help avoid costly mistakes and ensure the estate is settled efficiently.
What Does a Probate Lawyer Do?
A probate lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to help manage and settle an estate. Their tasks can include:
- Validating the will: Filing the will with the probate court and ensuring its legal validity.
- Guiding executors or administrators: Advising the person responsible for managing the estate on their duties, including inventorying assets, notifying creditors, and paying debts.
- Filing necessary paperwork: Preparing and submitting the legal documents required to initiate and complete the probate process.
- Resolving disputes: Mediating or litigating disputes among heirs or between beneficiaries and executors, including challenges to the will or disagreements over asset distribution.
- Handling debt and tax matters: Ensuring that outstanding debts, taxes, and estate taxes are properly calculated and paid from the estate’s assets.
- Distributing assets: Ensuring that assets are distributed to the beneficiaries according to the will or intestacy laws, and that all legal requirements are fulfilled.
- Closing the estate: Completing the final steps of the probate process, including filing a final accounting with the court and formally closing the estate.
How Are Probate Lawyers Paid?
Probate lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the estate and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Most probate lawyers charge by the hour, with rates depending on the lawyer’s experience and the complexity of the estate. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more.
- Flat fee: For simple estates or straightforward probate tasks, some lawyers may charge a flat fee that covers all of the necessary legal work.
- Percentage of the estate: In some states, probate lawyers are allowed to charge a percentage of the estate's value as their fee. This percentage typically ranges from 2% to 5%, depending on the size of the estate and state regulations.
- Retainer fee: Some lawyers may require an upfront retainer fee, which is billed against as the probate process progresses.
It’s important to clarify the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how you will be charged and avoid unexpected costs.
How Much Does a Probate Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a probate lawyer depends on several factors, including the complexity of the estate, the type of legal issues involved, and the lawyer’s fee structure. General cost estimates include:
- Simple estates: For estates with straightforward assets and no disputes, probate legal fees can range from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on the lawyer's fees and the state's probate laws.
- Complex estates: For larger or more complicated estates with multiple properties, business interests, or disputes, probate costs can exceed $10,000 and may reach $20,000 or more.
- Hourly rates: If charged by the hour, expect rates between $150 and $500, depending on the lawyer’s expertise and geographic location.
- Percentage fees: In some cases, a probate lawyer may charge 2% to 5% of the estate’s value, particularly for larger estates or those involving complex legal matters.
Always ask for a clear estimate of fees during your initial consultation to understand the total cost of probate representation.
Top Questions to Ask a Probate Lawyer
Before hiring a probate lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure you’re hiring someone qualified to handle your estate needs. Key questions include:
-
What experience do you have with probate cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has experience with estates of similar complexity, especially if disputes or high-value assets are involved. -
How do you charge for your services?
Ask whether the lawyer charges an hourly rate, a flat fee, or a percentage of the estate, and request a cost estimate. -
What is the likely timeline for my probate case?
While it’s hard to predict exactly, an experienced lawyer can give you a general idea of how long the probate process may take based on the specifics of your estate. -
What steps will you take to manage and distribute the estate?
Ask about the lawyer’s approach to handling debts, taxes, and asset distribution. -
Will you be handling my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it’s important to know who will be working on your probate case. -
What are potential challenges we may face?
A good lawyer will be able to anticipate possible issues, such as will contests or creditor claims, and explain how they would handle them.
How to Check the Credibility of a Probate Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable probate lawyer, follow these steps to check their credentials and experience:
- Verify their state bar status: Check with your state’s bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary action.
- Look for probate experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in probate law and have experience handling estates of similar complexity.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for online reviews on platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said about the lawyer’s probate experience.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their professionalism and expertise in handling probate matters.
- Look for membership in professional organizations: Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys (AAEPA) or the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) can indicate a lawyer's commitment to estate and probate law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a probate lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- A copy of the will or trust (if applicable): Bring any estate planning documents left by the deceased, including wills, trusts, or powers of attorney.
- List of assets and debts: Prepare a detailed list of the deceased’s assets (e.g., real estate, bank accounts, investments) and outstanding debts (e.g., loans, mortgages, credit cards).
- Death certificate: Bring a certified copy of the deceased person’s death certificate.
- Contact information for heirs and beneficiaries: Have a list of all individuals or entities named in the will or who are entitled to inherit under intestacy laws.
- Questions about the probate process: Write down any questions you have about the process, costs, and potential issues you might face.
- Relevant financial records: If available, bring any relevant financial documents, such as bank statements, property deeds, and tax returns.
By coming prepared, you can ensure a productive consultation and allow the lawyer to provide the best advice for your situation.
