Although legal processes can involve painful, stressful, lengthy, and confusing situations, Mr. Rivas and his staff shared realistic expectations, explained the process, and answered all my questions along the way. I appreciate their patience and professionalism.
And, their office has a great view of downtown.

Highly recommend the Law Office of Jorge Luis Rivas, Jr. They were able to get me in for a consultation very quickly. Everyone was very friendly and professional. The office is very inviting with amazing staff that were wonderful through the entire process. I needed a consultation for an employment contract. Mr. Rivas was very professional and thoroughly went through the contract with me. He took the time to ensure that every part of the contract was reviewed and gave his recommendations for necessary revisions. He was available for any follow up questions during the entire process. Truly a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

A few decades ago, Russ fought tooth and nail for me, and I am free this day because I chose to have him represent me. He continues to hold his standards of representing people the same as he did when he started his practice, and he is the best courtroom brawler that I have seen in a jury trial. I highly recommend Russ Sr. in the Waco area and his son, Russ Jr. in the Williamson County area. Thank you Russ Sr. for never giving up on fighting my cases.

A family member was facing serious charges, The detective recommended defense attorney Russ Hunt we're glad he did as Russ was always there for us & responded very quickly to questions & our concerns, many times after hours. Russ gave sound advice to his client which they followed, we had the best outcome to this case that we hoped for !
The judge said in the court room in front of everyone that we had the best lawyer & he was right!
Russ has the respect from all law enforcement officials which means alot when your facing charges.
Thank you again Russ for a job well done

Great attorney. He spends a lot of time explaining everything in detail. He knew exactly what to do with my case, and I am grateful for his services. I would, however, make sure to ask more detailed questions about what the services cover and include. But his services are worth it. He is a very honest attorney for an attorney.

Mekisha is truly an outstanding attorney. From the moment I met her, she was transparent and professional, giving me confidence during what could have been a very difficult process. She demonstrated incredible dedication and stayed present every step of the way, guiding me with care and expertise until my case was ultimately dismissed.
Her ability to combine intelligence, unwavering dedication, and a results-driven approach with genuine compassion and a strong human connection is unmatched. Mekisha made a challenging situation manageable and gave me peace of mind throughout. If you’re looking for the best attorney, look no further—she’s it!
I was also deeply impressed by her presence in the community. It’s clear that everyone around her respects and believes in her. Her presence is truly felt in any room, and it’s evident that people look up to her as a leader. Mekisha is not only an exceptional attorney but also an inspiring individual.

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.

He does not even deserve a one star.
After the initial contact and payment of fees there was virtually no response to correspondence.
There was one meeting about a month out from the hearing then again no response to any questions.
There was no information given about procedures or time line or strategies.
He didn’t show for meetings two days prior to the hearing nor the day before.
Finally met to strategize less than two hours before the hearing, arriving late to this meeting as well. He was ill prepared.
He showed a remarkable lack of professionalism, knowledge and respect of the client and others involved.

Ted took my divorce modification case after being turned away from a major law office in the area. That attorney had me convinced I had no grounds for modification.
With Ted, I received an extremely fair buy out of the shared home that I was ordered to pay on for the next 3 years. He also saved me nearly $30,000 in future child support payments on top of the buy out.
I am grateful to have found him! I would definitely recommend Ted to anyone looking for the best lawyer in Collin, Denton county!

I didn't care for this firm they placed me behind the 8 ball after 7 K and didn't even read the warrant (bond reversed). DWI I added the car ignition start but was unaware of the other requirement. Had they read the bond I would have not been in jail on a warrant. They blamed me yet I gave the 7k to take care of the matter. They didn't care and they didn't do their research. I knew after the sales pitch it was marketing here. I canceled CC after getting out of jail from bond reverse and retained another attorney to get the DUI dismissed. Never again will I use the internet marketing lies just to make this firm look good.

I’m sure Jarrod is helpful with some, but for the negative reviews he does receive, they’re likely true. Jarrod will sell you on a flat fees, experience, and that he’s attentive and communicative. But once you make that payment for him to represent you, that’s not the case. You can tell Jarrod and his firm are taking on more cases than they can handle which is why some clients like me get left out of the loop and left wondering what they paid for. If you try to criticize him at all he gets vindictive and hateful. Be cautious with this attorney.

These guys single handed saved my life. I had a previous attorney who was doing nothing for my case. I hired Jared and this firm, what took years prior they got dismissed in a matter of a few months. Charlie is the best attorney, he listens fights for you and really cares. I would use this firm hands down over any other. My case was extremely complicated and facing a felony. It was very scary until they took over for me. I owe them so much. I finally got my life back after four long years and thousands of dollars.

Looking for a Great Lawyer? Look no further, call the office of Bobby Barrera. My brother’s situation looked pretty grim. We were sure he’d be going on vacation for a while, but nope, not one day. Thank you Jesus for Bobby Barrera. Kind and professional with a touch of sense of humor that helps when you’re feeling hopeless and afraid. It was an honor to meet him, but if I don’t see him again, that’s OK! Lol! Bobby Barrera is definitely a 5 STAR in our book.
It’s also a plus when you have a great secretary like Sandy!

Katie was literally a life saver. I was accused of a crime I did not committed. My career, family, and innocence were on the line. The system tried to violate my constitutional rights. Katie made sure that did not happen. At the end she was able to clear my name of the false accusations. Not only was she worried about the criminal case, she truly cared about me as a person. She was persistent, and pushed the system to work on our terms, instead of letting the wheel of justice turn at its speed. Thank you so much Katie from the bottom of my heart.

Never thought I’d say it was a real pleasure dealing with an attorney. Gina and her staff are such a pleasure to deal with, explaining all of the pros and cons for each of the documents instrumental in enumerating our wishes after our passing from this physical world. Professional - yes, reasonable - yes, thorough - yes, ethical - yes, knowledgeable - yes, sensitive - yes, personable - yes.
The bar (no pun intended) just got set a whole lot higher!

Very unprofessional. Paid to go to trail. Never heard from her up until the trial date where I asked if she would like to get with my witnesses and come up with a game plan for trial. She told me she was sick with pneumonia and influenza A and that it would get reset. Had scheduled work off but decided to go in because it was going to be “reset”. After texting multiple days and no response I had to call up court and they informed me that I did have court (the next day). We went to court unprepared and she showed up late (every other time she did also) and screamed at the judge that she had pneumonia and couldn’t talk. Mind you she is screaming. The judge told her it wouldn’t get reset without a Dr. note. Unbelievably, somehow she couldn’t come up with one, so they proceeded with trail. I ended up taking plea deal because I didn’t feel confident, having never had a meeting about trail. She told me she was ready to go, which completely contradicted what she had told the judge “I can’t do a trail today”. After this I decided I couldn’t trust her with my freedom and settled. Please don’t make the same mistake I did and further research an attorney who will fight for their clients and also communicate with them. WASTE OF MONEY. Find someone reputable.

I was totally caught off guard with the news for a divorce from my husband. Stephanie was recommended to me for representation. From day one I was impressed by her entire team. They kept me informed on the steps throughout the entire process. Not only did they represent me on a professional level, they also displayed a care for my emotions after 34 years of marriage. They were knowledgeable of any questions I had. Not knowing my future without the stability of my husband, Stephanie made sure I kept my home and will be taken care of financially for the rest of my life. I love the entire staff. I would highly recommend Stephanie and her team to anyone.

This firm always communicated well with me and did what they said they would do. They cared, took my calls, kept me informed and then had my court cases handled with a dismissal of charges! What a relief to find competence and professsionalism all for a very fair price. Very highly recommended

What a Sex Crime Lawyer Can Do for You
A sex crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of sexual offenses, which can include charges such as sexual assault, rape, indecent exposure, child pornography, solicitation, and other related crimes. Being charged with a sex crime carries severe legal and social consequences, including potential imprisonment, mandatory registration as a sex offender, fines, and long-term stigma. A sex crime lawyer has the expertise to navigate the complex legal system, protect your rights, and develop a strategic defense to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
When Should I Hire a Sex Crime Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a sex crime lawyer immediately if:
- You are under investigation: If law enforcement contacts you for questioning or you become aware that you are a suspect in a sex crime investigation, it's crucial to seek legal representation before speaking with authorities.
- You have been arrested or charged: Promptly hiring a lawyer upon arrest or formal charges allows for early intervention in your case, which can be critical for your defense.
- Searches and seizures have occurred: If your property, such as your home or electronic devices, has been searched or seized in connection with a sex crime investigation, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
- You are facing related legal issues: If you're dealing with restraining orders, custody disputes, or other legal matters stemming from the allegations, a lawyer can provide comprehensive legal support.
What Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Do?
A sex crime lawyer provides a range of legal services to defend and support you throughout the legal process:
- Legal consultation and advice: They will explain the charges against you, outline your rights, and advise you on the best course of action.
- Case investigation: The lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying inconsistencies or weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
- Defense strategy development: They will develop a tailored defense strategy, which may include challenging the credibility of evidence, disputing the legality of how evidence was obtained, or presenting alternative explanations.
- Negotiating with prosecutors: Your lawyer can negotiate plea bargains or reduced charges when appropriate, aiming to minimize potential penalties.
- Court representation: They will represent you in all court proceedings, including hearings, trials, and sentencing, advocating on your behalf.
- Protecting your rights: The lawyer ensures that your constitutional rights are upheld throughout the legal process, including protection against unlawful searches, coerced confessions, or violations of due process.
- Post-trial assistance: If necessary, they can assist with appeals, sentence modifications, or matters related to sex offender registration.

Sex crime lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case. Rates can vary widely based on the lawyer's experience and location.
- 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.
