I appreciate all the work Williams Hart and Boundas staff did on my behalf. Everyone I talked to or texted was always patient with my concerns and questions. The settlement I recess more than I expected and I am truly grateful.

I will forever be grateful that I chose the right firm for my Roundup case. From the first phone call until the verdict, I have always felt so comfortable and respected by everyone I worked with from the firm. I was represented by people who truly care about their clients and their needs and feelings. I wish there was an option to give them 1000 stars on here! They are now much more than my attorneys... I am blessed to call them my friends!

To state that my experience with this attorney was wonderful is an understatement. Mr Gilliam is a no-B.S. kind of attorney, meaning that he cuts right to the chase, and then chases down the win! I'd put my life in his hands again if the universe ever leads me into another situation where his expertise is required, although unlikely! If your case needs his chase, this man is your gold metal runner!

Left messages twice. Never received a call back. Very frustrating when you are looking for legal representation and no one can even set up a consult.

I've used Scott Reiner a couple times for real estate issues and he has been a pleasure to work with. He communicates clearly and effectively, and was able to quickly address my issues. His pricing is competitive as well. I will definitely use him again in the future.

We ended up not needing services, but I wanted to share how professional, kind, and helpful Scott was when we put in a contact form explaining our situation. I would definitely have gone with his representation had we needed it.

I am a former client of Ngwolo and Associates and I have mixed feelings regarding this firm.
Granted, while Mr. Ngwolo was able to have my case dismissed (I was the victim of a corrupt, stupid, and incompetent police office who cited me with a bogus charge almost a year ago. I was physically attacked by a violent lunatic that lived at the same residence as me. I defended myself and called the police. Again, the stupid, biased, and ignorant officer that arrived on the scene cited me instead of the perpetrator), he failed in every other aspect of our attorney client relationship...
I'll just give you the pros and cons...
Pros
1. He was able to get the bogus charge dismissed. Up until this happened (please see above) I had no criminal background other than a parking ticket when I was a teenager. Anyway, it literally took less than 15 minutes to have the entire case dismissed.
I appreciated his due diligence in that regard. He did what I hired him to do...
However, everything else was subpar and below standard...
Cons
1. My attorney showed up nearly TWO HOURS late to my court hearing. I am not kidding.
I got the impression, from day one, that he never took my case seriously given that it was a Class C misdemeanor. I get that it was not a big deal in comparison to the criminal cases he usually deals with; but this was major to me. I have been a law abiding citizen and I have a career where my good name and reputation are paramount. Having even a misdemeanor could impact me negatively...
Yet he showed up almost two hours late to my first court appearance.
And of course my case happened to be the first case on the docket. I texted his office a million times and could not get in contact with him...just his poor paralegal trying his best to comfort a client who is distraught because of his counsel's unprofessionalism.
He finally showed up and didn't so much as even apologize.
2. It was impossible to get in contact with him, absolutely impossible! The only time I ever spoke to Mr. Ngwolo was when I hired him and at the hearing. Otherwise, getting a response from him for much needed questions was like pulling teeth from a dragon skull. I know that attorneys have other clients and are busy. But if I am paying you a retainer fee you owe me atleast a once a month conversation.
3. I finally severed my relationship with him five months ago for consistently being MIA. I hired him with the intent of dismissing the case AND expunging it from my record. Once the case was dismissed I received radio silence.
Needless to say I fired him. And from that point I had to hound him for months to send me a refund for the remainder that he owed me.
I finally got it a week ago.
Moreover, he tried to use the excuse that expunction is a very long process.
Apparently not since I had the case expunged recently, by myself.
Anyway, he is a good lawyer and knows his stuff, I will say that. However, given my experience, I would not recommend.

My experience with Colby and his team was fantastic. They were all amazing from the start. They communicated with me about everything, even when I had a simple question or was just checking in on how things were going. Colby was able to get me more money than I thought I would be receiving as well. HIRE COLBY!!

Lindsey was amazing, I could not have asked for a better person to help represent me in my divorce process. She made sure everything was less stressful and never gave up.

I cannot thank Lindsey enough for making the divorce process as stress-free and efficient as possible. After dealing with a previous attorney who mismanaged my case, Lindsey stepped in and completely turned things around. She was responsive and completely transparent throughout the process.
I never had to chase her for updates or to file documents on important dates—she always kept me informed and handled everything with utmost professionalism. If you're looking for a divorce attorney who is thorough, responsive, and truly cares about her clients, I highly recommend Lindsey. I’m incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication.

She took $1250 from me and never represented me. Her response was a nut job that she will not give back the money. She literally spoke to me ten minutes got the money and never did a thing for me. Now, she will not return it. She a thief and crook. I’m reporting her to the board of lawyers that hopefully will take away her license so she cannot do this to other single moms of two that is disabled.. or any other people and/or families.

I was referred to a friend who happened to be in the same cell block as me. I called him from jail collect on Xmas night around dinner time and HE ACTUALLY ACCEPTED. I hired him although my court date wasn't until the 1st week in Feb. He went to my court room and talked to the district attorney of my court and secured a deal. And this was the first week of Jan.. He came to see me and asked if I'd accept the deal. I was looking at 5yrs TDC. Now the deal he got was for time served if I signed on my court date in Feb. I SAID HELL YEAH. Now when my court date arrived my cell block was on quarantine for covid and I wasn't allowed to attend. But that didn't stop Paul. I called him and told him and he said don't worry. He got me a PR Bo d so that I was released the day I should have been with a court date to o my come and sign my papers But bad luck still tried to beat us, pretrial never came that night to release me. That still didn't stop Paul even though he was in Brazoria County and I was in Harris. All of a sudden I was called out for court. When I got to court pretrial was there with my bond papers to sign. But when I signed them the bailiff said I was getting a dbl. Whammy today. There was a phone and a stack of papers on a desk. I picked up the phone and Paul who was at the Brazoria courthouse walked me through each one as I signed them. Then I was escorted into the courtroom and it was only me, the bailiff, and the court coordinator. All of a sudden Paul (in brazoria) appeared on a screen via Zoom as did the Judge (from home). And there I accepted my plea agreement. Now I was wondering why I still signed my pr bond papers if I signed for my plea. Well it normally takes them until the middle of the night to release you after court but by the time I got back to housing , releasing had already been calling for me. Needless to say I was released within 2 hours of returning from court. Paul gets things done. And he keeps his promises. IF YOURE EVER IN A BIND CALL PAUL MORGAN. HE WONT LET YOU DOWN.

- Flat fee: A set amount that covers specific services or the entirety of your case, which can provide cost predictability.
- Retainer fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts hourly fees and expenses as they work on your case. You may need to replenish the retainer if it is exhausted.
- Payment plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable over time.
It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.
