I retained Mr. Pfister as a part of my divorce. Mr. Pfister did not act in my best interest and only did things that would rack up his fees. I did not agree to the Rule 11 Agreement and expressed that to him. He did not question the opposing party at the hearing I asked. Told me to, stop talking to him when I asked him to question the opposing party. Did not explain how to fill out any financial and custody forms. He just handed me a piece of paper to fill out and stated you need to take a co-parenting course and left the court. Overcharged me for services not rendered as to drop me as counsel when I questioned his fees, once was retained. Be prepared to be billed in 15 minute for a time stamped 5 minute email, response and addition email. Also, his initial consultation is free, but will charge you $200 for, "Continued Initial Consultation," for a hand shake and walking you out the door.

If you looked up slime ball attorney in the dictionary you would find a picture of John Pfister. It's attorney's like him that taint they whole bunch. John Pfister cares about one thing, how much money he can extract from each file. John Pfister will create drama and discontent when there is none and will turn a contentious divorce into all out war all for his financial gain. John Pfister care nothing about his clients or any kids that may be involved. He cares only about winning and money. Do not ever use any counselor, therapist, or testing company that he wants to use during the divorce. He only uses or recommends people that he has a history of working with and who have found favorably. Especially do not allow him to recommend Shannon Bradshaw as a therapist for for children. You will be hard pressed to find another pair as unethical as these two. In my case, he tried to force us to use her despite there being plenty of other options in the Frisco area. Bradshaw wouldn't even meet with me until I signed the consent forms. Never mind that I have a minor in psychology and wanted to discuss her philosophy on treating children the age of my sons and well as her methods. John Pfister delayed treatement my kids for 7 months because he wouldn't agree to anyone else. Ultimately the judge sided with us and chose someone else. Furthermore, throughout the divorce he never once acted in the best interest of the children. My ex was ordered to do alcohol and drug testing during the divorce. He insisted on using Forensic DNA in Dallas. The judge ordered that the testing company set the testing schedule. When my ex went to setup up the testing they told the company it was voluntary and never supplied the courts order to the company. This my ex was allowed to set her own testing schedule that was ridiculous. Then when she still failed John Pfister went with her to try and prove that it was mouthwash, toothpaste, and teeth whitening products that were causing her to fail, not alcohol. Never once did John Pfister hold her accountable for her alcohol issues or try an get her into treatment. Furthermore, he endangered my kids by not providing the orders to the testing company and letting her set the ridiculous testing schedule. Three months passed before we found out and the testing that was ordered by the court was finally implemented. When she was ordered to do a drug test by the end of the day in a court hearing that required her to do 4 random UA's a month, they repeated the same behavior. John Pfister nor my ex told the company it was court ordered or that she was to be tested randomly 4 times a month. I had to call the company myself and send over the court orders to get the random testing implemented. My ex also stated, as others have, that John and his staff are unresponsive for days at a time. Throughout the process John did whatever he could to run the bill up on my ex to the point her bill was ultimately 3x what mine was. Under no curcumstance should you hire John Pfister or anyone else from his unethical firm. If your spouse has hired them, be warned that he will attempt to game the system at every turn in order to win and couldn't careless about the best interest of your children.

John shines in the courtroom. He is confident and knowledgeable. Very precise in his presentation and doesn't let let anything get past him. Definitely glad he was on our side.

To be perfectly honest, I feel as though I had a divorce that entailed some out of the ordinary details. I field for divorce from my ex wife. She responded by leveling horrendous allegations against, not only myself but, my children as well.John Pfister was calm, patient and very willing to deal with this frantic father. He not only dealt with the Family Law side of my case but, also helped me through the CPS side. This whole process would have been impossible to get through without a skilled and competent attorney. John Pfister is both of these in spades. I would highly recommend Mr Pfister if you are in need of an attorney in the Dallas area.

I would like to Thank John for the hard work he did. He was always on top of things and I'm glad I could trust him with my case. His assistant Jolie was great and easy to work with. My case was involving Child Custody. I looked around and talked to other lawyers prior to talking to John, and John was the guy I went with due to his Character. He was firm in his words and knows the law. I would strongly recommend John and associates. At the end all said and done, I did get custody of my son. Once again, I am glad to have used this Law firm for my case and strongly recommend anyone going through a custody battle to consider this law firm. Thank you

After going through 2 lawyers, John was a God send. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative when it came to my divorce. He was always very professional and respectful. He is worth every bit of his fees. He has your best interested in mind and will make sure that you know exactly what is going on and what can be expected. You will never be left in the dark and wondering where your money is going.

John was excellent in the court room, but the real work happened behind the scenes. He negotiated with all parties so that we could finalize the details before the judge. He helped us avoid going to trial and pushed for our best interests from start to finish. It is clear that he is highly thought of by others who work family law. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a family law matter.

Impressive knowledge of family law and negotiating with other attorneys and courts. I am in the first stages of my case, but so far I am extremely impressed and trust that John will execute on my best interests with very little guidance from me. He has already made significant progress in a short period of time. He is very judicious with his time, yet shows sincere compassion and sensitivity. I recently had to change lawyers and so glad I found John. I would highly recommend him!
