I am really sad to be writing this. I worked with Beau on a custody issue in 2021. He was always there to lend support and encouragement, as it was emotionally exhausting and there were some nonsense judgements early on. I ended up with my kiddos in the end. So when my second marriage ended he was retained immediately. My parents gave me $5000 they didn't have. I had been financially controlled for two years, with no access to my paychecks whatsoever, unless my husband gave me money. I refinanced the house with him and was told I was now on the deed. I endured what I know now as narcissistic abuse and I've been in intense trauma therapy trying to heal from the gaslighting and other mental abuses I endured. It was pretty apparent that Beau just wasn't prepared for my case. It turns out I wasn't on the deed, and he didn't know. He showed up to court and my ex's lawyer gave him that information, and we were suddenly in their grasp. I don't believe there was any financial review of spending. We made $125K combined- I never saw more than a few hundred a month. Where did the rest go? I didn't get recouped for anything. Even though I had proof I was told for two years I was on the deed, I didn't get any money from the house either, and my ex kicked my kids and I out. When we went to mediation, he sent the Zoom link to an old email address. I got a text that said, "where are you?" He didn't defend me to my ex's lawyer, or handle her, and she was a real woman hater. He would just forward me her accusations and lies that were coming from my ex. This just added more trauma and pain on top of the rest I'd been through. I would end up defending myself. Wasn't I paying for some representation? Then, the mediation...I can't say the woman he picked didn't accomplish a goal, but she was not empathetic, and dealing with her was excruciating after having gone through so much verbal and emotional abuse with my ex. She didn't care, victim blamed, and told me I was entitled to nothing. It was downright cruel and took me a few weeks to recover from. I sent Beau texts and e-mails that went unanswered for several days, didn't receive a copy of the final decree until I asked for it in January of 2025, and recently, when the ex began tormenting me again via email and keeping my daughter's packages- he told me to stop contacting him and leave him out of it. Beau and I had a really friendly relationship for four years. Now I needed to leave him out. I feel like I got the $500 version of the $5000 payment. It's really disappointing.

Louis took the time to call me back and listen to my concerns. He was able to advise me of my rights, explain the process of the law suit I was involved in, and recommend how to move forward. I think his personal attention to his future and current cases make him a great choice.

Mr. Rackley successfully persuaded an unscrupulous contractor, who did shoddy and incomplete work on a room addition, to void an existing contract and refund a portion of the monies already spent by us. He did this without having to go to trial by using the existing laws and court rulings of the state of Texas and applying them to the contractor. My wife and I are extremely pleased with him and all his employees at the law firm for their help and their compassion during this stressful period. I have and will continue to recommend him and sing his praises to everyone.

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to resolve my legal issue?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Helotes, Texas?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
