3 years later and I am still paying for the costly errors made by this firm. I went with Brent because he was cheaper, and I should have known better. Several other lawyers have looked over my decree and almost laughed. Save your money and get someone who will aggressively fight for fathers rights. That is NOT this law firm.

Brent Hill is AMAZING, this is an attorney that Fights for you!!!!!!

He is one of the worst attorneys I have ever had and I had two attorneys involved in my divorce in 2005. I hired Andrew in August 2014 for a re-modification hearing that was based on lies from my ex. He never addressed any of the lies that started this case. We only went to trial once and I paid him 5 grand. He is money hungry and charged me for every little thing. He did not do what I asked because he said, "that is not my strategy". I feel like he did not represent me when we only came to court one time. I paid him $5000 in August and then wanted another $3000 in February. He only went to court once in a trial in November 2014. Now I am stuck with a mess and I refuse to give him another dime. He asked for withdrawal from the case because I did not give him the $3000 PLUS replenish the retainer fee. I WOULD NEVER REFER ANDREW TO ANYONE!!!! He is basically a fraud in my books.

I like the style and he trys get the best results for you.

Devon DuPuy is honest, extremely intelligent and quick to fight for his clients. It was very apparent to me the few times we entered the courthouse that Devon's reputation speaks for itself. Devon is well respected among his peers and by the Denton County Court. Let me tell you...Devon is fierce, but fair. He is straightforward and his level of integrity is admirable. I have had the unfortunate experience of child custody modifications, multiple family court related issues all stemming from a terrible divorce and a relentless effort to alienate me from my child--even false criminal accusations that over the last seven years literally cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars. When you reach out for help, especially from an attorney, you are suppose to feel safe-not taken for a ride and used as a paycheck with no real interest in an innocent child's life and the long term, life altering changes families deal with as a result from court and the rulings being made. I have had a level of anxiety over the last seven years that I would not wish on my worst enemy. I can finally say, for the first time--Devon made that go away and words will never describe how thankful I am to him and his staff (Alisha and Minerva) for their compassion and dedication--not just to me, but working for the best interest of a child as well. Thank you.

Brent is a fantastic lawyer. He knows the legal system backwards and forwards. He is very professional in court, is very organized, and confident. He is also very personable. He knew exactly what I needed to have in court where other lawyers had been unprepared. I highly recommend this lawyer.

Mr. Shanklin is the best of the best. He is extremely knowledgable about family law/custody but more importantly he is compassionate. He took on my case with almost no notice and we had positive results. I would highly recommend him as your counsel. He is very upfront and sincere and thoroughly explained each process to me. Mr. Shanklin is highly professional and proficient in the court room. You want the best on your side and he is the one you want.

Save your hard-earned money and steer clear of this firm!! Let's be honest, you can't truly gauge an attorney's capabilities until you're in the courtroom with them. The staff, particularly two women, exude rudeness and an air of arrogance, mirroring Mr. Hill himself. Regrettably, Mr. Hill lacks the diligence required for proper case preparation; he adeptly convinces you that it's unnecessary. Despite my case demanding thorough attention and meticulous preparation, he plowed forward recklessly. He possesses no aptitude for professionalism but has the audacity to demand exorbitant fees upfront, all the while keeping you in the dark about his competence. Mr. Hill employs condescending language, projecting an unwarranted sense of entitlement that he mistakes for confidence. I was unable to provide input for my case, such as suggesting preparations or discussing my side of the story. His retorts to my suggestions were consistently dismissive, emphasizing his disinterest in entertaining my thoughts. I'd liken his business practices to those of a used car salesman at a "buy here, pay here" lot. He remains oblivious to modern technology's potential impact, neglecting emails, cell phones, and other tools vital to his profession. Astonishingly, Mr. Hill never inquired about my version of events in my case; when I endeavored to share, he shut me down with a rehearsed spiel, reiterating his lack of interest. After years of working with numerous attorneys, each conveyed the same sentiment, "You were seriously mishandled," subsequently offering insights that could've positively influenced my case. In retrospect, they affirmed that Mr. Hill did more harm than good. Imagine how disheartening it is to have four attorneys voice that opinion. The trinkets on his desk may be deceiving, as I am convinced I could have represented myself more effectively. I provided upfront payment just before my case, which consumed his focus more than my actual needs. Despite his alleged experience, Mr. Hill faltered repeatedly during my case, his silence reminiscent of a deer caught in headlights, all the while eyeing the clock and his wristwatch eagerly in anticipation of his next engagement. Adding insult to injury, I did not receive the outcome my case warranted, underscoring his blatant disregard. His unapologetic exit and evasive avoidance of eye contact further demonstrated his lack of accountability. The only remark he offered while departing was a hurried assertion of his need to attend his next case, leaving me abandoned and bewildered. In hindsight, his departure from my life proved fortuitous. For those considering where to invest their funds, if you seek a professional who genuinely cares, possesses a proven track record through preparedness, and exudes passion for their work, I'd recommend conversing with the singing greeter at the Little Elm Walmart. You'll find the practical wisdom that eludes this establishment. Best regards,

Brody did an amazing job getting me through the entire legal process. He was honest, extremely knowledgeable and effective. I was satisfied with his work up to the trial. When we went to trial, I became a fan. He was extremely sharp and professional. The prosecution team looked like amateurs next to him. He was very well prepared for trial. If, heaven forbid, I need legal defense again, I will call Brody.

I unexpectedly was in need of a child custody lawyer when I came across Brody. He was not the first lawyer I talked to but he was the one I chose. On our first meeting he discussed his background and it fit in perfectly with a situation in my case. His military background and demeaner gave me confidence and a sense of relief that I had found the right lawyer. He did not dissapoint me. Brody was very knowledgeable with the law and asked lots of questions. He kept me advised every step of the way. He was dilligent to represent us at all court appearances. When the time came for court in which all attorneys and clients were to be there, I felt completely confident in Brody's ability to represent our interest to the judge and ask the right questions to the other parties involved. Honestly, it couldn't have been handled better. Brody is very personable and helped make my experience with the child custody court system as pleasant as possible. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. Thanks Brody!

Brody was always accessible or returned my calls within 24 hours. He was also completely honest in whichever direction my custody case(s) could turn, always remaining focused on realistic resolution(s). His courtroom skills are outstanding, he has the ability to assess situations as they occur, in my opinion, a rare talent. He holds a highly regarded reputation amongst the family judges in Denton. Brody's level of integrity have earned him 2 solid wins for both my child custody cases.....simply put, he is the absolute best.
