- ★★★★★Trustworthy Lawyer that will go beyond your expectations!
Anthony · estate planning ·
My wife and I sought out Ann to help us in preparing a will and getting our estate plans in order. She went above and beyond what we desired in helping us prepare and plan so that our kids are taken care of. She was very professional and thorough in her work and did a great job making sure all our ne eds were addressed. We've since referred many friends and associates to Ann for their legal needs and all came away impressed. Ann is highly recommened.
- ★★★★★Great experience!
Bert · estate planning ·
Ann handled our estate planning, and we found her to be knowledgeable, professional, and a true pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her!
- ★★★★★WARNING!!!DO NOT HIRE!!!
Seith ·
DO NOT HIRE this attorney!!!! Once payment is made, VERY HARD to get in touch. She was not helpful at all once i hired her. I will NEVER hire her again, rather pay more but have an attorney whos there when you call or email them.
- ★★★★★Do Not Hire Ms. Palmer
Josh · family law ·
I hired this attorney last year to assist with my divorce. I had already filed the petition but was having a hard time getting my ex to fill out the waiver. She was hired a few weeks before the trial date and ended up having my ex served the papers too late. So I had to pay another filing fee so that she could re-file the orignal petition. This was January of 2013 when she re-filed. During this time she had me attempt to get my ex to fill out the waiver unsucessfully. The whole purpose of hiring her was because I was having no luck on my own. My trial date was set for Sept of 2013 and it was dismissed again because Ms. Palmer never made any attempt to have my ex served or get the completed documents. I showed up to court with my final divorce decree and she never even made an attempt to appear. Now here I am over a year later and have paid to file a divorce twice that has been dismissed both times. Ms. Palmer is now not returning my phone calls, emails or any communication. DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY
- ★★★★★Public Service Announcement: Run, Run, Run Away Attorney
Giselle · family law ·
If you retain Melissa E. Palmer’s services she will become a run, run, run away attorney and you will never see her, your money or case resolved. I hired Palmer in 2012 for a Volunteer Child Support Modification and an Uncontested Divorce case. She does not return your calls, emails or any written no tifications that you are trying to reach her in regards to your case status. She will charge you multiple filling fees without telling you the original date of your court hearing and blame you as the client for any obstacles that she encounters with your case. Save your-self and do not go through the drama and nightmare that I am currently living by making the choice to have her represent me. Run to another attorney who will respect you, your time and work your case ethically and professionally. She is not it! It is now 2015 and I paid her over $2,000.00 and none of my cases were ever resolved. A total waste of time and money…
- ★★★★★Outstanding Lawyer

Maria · litigation ·
I am very grateful to my attorney, Barbara Maseberg, for helping me with my ongoing case. She has done nothing but provide me with support and help, as she is experienced in her field of work. Would recommend, great attorney.
- ★★★★★My Last Will and Testament
Bobby · estate planning ·
I was a retired person without a will. My experience with Barbara has been great. I was rather intimidated at the thought of making a will. Mrs. Maseberg made the whole process easy and painless. I'm comfortable knowing my wished will be honored.
- ★★★★★Part of our Dream Team
Kathy · estate planning ·
Courtney cares. She’s an excellent attorney. Knows her stuff. And she cares. We were trying to get guardianship of our 23 year old son so we could get him the help he needs and she walked us through the process to success! She was available. Answered all our questions. Checked on the well-being of ou r son through the process. Checked on our well-being too!

After my Mother died, my sister was appointed Executor by the Court. Courtney took great care in walking me through the process and my rights as a beneficiary. Thanks to Courtney, I was able to avoid costly litigation. I highly recommend her!
- ★★★★★Efficient AND Effective
Gunnar · estate planning ·
I am so glad that I was referred to Jana Fay for help in probating the estate of my deceased father. Living in another state, I wanted to work with someone who was capable of managing the entire process, limiting my need to travel to appear in court. Not only did Jana Fay take care of everything, s he far exceeded my expectations on timing. Many people warned me the process might take well over a year. Even with some complicated elements, Jana Fay was able to move our case forward to completion less than 6 months. And I never had to show up in court. That saved me time, money and frustration. I would highly recommend Jana Fay.
- ★★★★★Don't Think Twice -- Hire This Lawyer Now!
Doug · estate planning ·
I sought out Ms. Jana Fay Bacarisse’s estate planning assistance when my elderly aunt was hospitalized in Houston. Ms. Bacarisse called me back immediately and she patiently explained the estate planning options. She telephoned my aunt right away and they discussed her will and advanced directives. Her calm and reassuring demeanor showed she knew what to do right from the start. Ms. Bacarisse even volunteered to travel to the hospital in Houston so my aunt could sign her will. That is something I never expected from such a well-respected professional. Ms. Bacarisse went out of her way to help both her client and her client’s family during a very difficult time. I cannot say enough good things about her. If you need an estate planning or probate attorney in Texas, hire Ms. Jana Fay Bacarisse right now.
- ★★★★★Estate
Lisa · estate planning ·
Jana Fay is a fantastic attorney for your estate! She helped me during a very difficult time when my Aunt passed away and I was left with a lot to deal with. I hired Jana Fay after another attorney failed me and she picked up the pieces and had my back in so many situations. Even though I am not i n the same city with her, I plan on having her handle all my estate planning. She is trustworthy and knowledgeable. She can be stern if need be, but very professional in all her dealings with people. Even after months of trying to gain a pension for my dad, she did not let the matter drop and managed to successfully make this happen for him. I absolutely receommend Jana Fay for all your estate planning needs.
- ★★★★★Honest and sincere
sandy chen · estate planning ·

- ★★★★★Highly Recommend
Leslie · estate planning ·
Mrs. Bacarisse recently helped my husband and me with our estate planning. We had dreaded doing it because we thought it would be a tedious and difficult process. Jana Fay made the whole experience as painless and easy as possible. She was very patient in explaining all of the intricacies to us an d always responded promptly to all of our questions. She cares about her clients, and that is reflected in the quality of her work. We feel so relieved to have all of our estate planning completed and would hightly recommend Jana Fay to help you through this process.

My family hired Graham on a tough case in which the defendant company did not want to pay for its mistake. After several months of aggressive litigation and right before trial, Graham persuaded the corporation to do the right thing. I highly recommend Graham to anyone who needs help. He doesn’t bac k down and is not afraid of a fight.
- ★★★★★Fantastic job!
Nellie · personal injury ·
I was a client of Graham’s for a personal injury case in Austin, Texas. Graham did a fantastic job for me and my family. He fought hard to make sure that we obtained a favorable settlement. And in the end, we did. I recommend Graham to anyone who need a personal injury lawyer.

- ★★★★★Kind, thoughtful lawyer
Linda · personal injury ·
I hired Sutliff & Stout to handle a wrongful death for me. Throughout the process, Graham kept me well informed and was always available to talk. In the end, we were able to obtain a favorable settlement. I recommend Sutliff & Stout for all personal injury cases!
- ★★★★★Very happy with our Wills plus POA and Medical POA
John · estate planning ·
We last did our wills 20 years ago, so thought that now might be a good time to review everything again. We originally worked with Mary Galligan, but this time we were fortunate to work with her equally excellent son, Michael. It was a pleasant and highly productive meeting in which our Wills were completely updated. The experience was so nice that we went out for a nice lunch to celebrate our ultimate demise. That sounds strange, but it felt really good to have our power of attorney, medical POA and Wills professionally done so we don't have to worry about those end of life decisions. Michael was efficient, professional and best of all willing to listen to our concerns. My wife and I highly recommend Michael for any Probate or Estate Planning you might require.
- ★★★★★Best Ever
Cherry ·
Michael is effective, efficient, does work timely and makes sure all legal ramifications are covered. Explainations of documents are easy to understand and makes his clients feel comfortable. I have used Michael for years and would highly recommend him.
- ★★★★★Michael Galligan
Judy · estate planning ·
Michael Galligan prepared a living trust and other documents for me. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable about everything involved in such a preparation. He is not only very clear about creating estate documents he is gifted at explaining the documents to a non-lawyer. I found him very flexi ble, and I have already recommended him to both of my daughters.
- ★★★★★Estate/Trust/Will planning
Christy H · estate planning ·
Just completed all of my Estate/Trust/Will, etc planning with Mike. He was recommended to me by my business partner. He was excellent at walking me through the entire process and even diagramming it all out for me. He explained everything so well and I feel certain all bases were covered! Super h appy with the entire experience.
- ★★★★★Estate Plan Update
Robert · estate planning ·
Mike Galligan updated our family estate plan in 2022. He created a unique solution tailored to our needs (a couple with one child who as a group want to benefit a group of non-profit beneficiaries, but not until after the death of all three). Mike understands individual preferences, and crafted a p lan to meet our desires-- at minimal cost-- that allows survivors the maximum flexibility in managing their affairs, protects the estate and minimizes present and potential future tax impacts. Mike does an excellent job of explaining the "legalese" in layman terms. We feel confident in our estate plan, and were very pleased with Mike's work.
- ★★★★★Don’t bother
Xenophen ·
Poor communication like zero. Worst front desk person. Doesn’t answer or call back. No way and he is founder of the company ? No way go find another company. Save your self some grief. He just wants $$$ he doesnt help.
- ★★★★★Strong and Compassionate Advocate
JR · estate planning ·
I recently used Rudy in a Probate matter associated with a highly contested divorce case. Rudy displayed a strong but compassionate approach to my situation and was instrumental in my retention of a Guardianship Role as well as facilitating/contributing significantly a final settlement in the divorc e matter. Rudy proved to be resourceful and knowledgeable in my probate matter and his even demeanor proved invaluable in negotiations with opposing counsel as well a during court appearances. He appears to be well respected by his peers. I would recommend him highly.
- ★★★★★Review of Attorney Rudy Culp
Karen · estate planning ·
I was recently referred to Rudy by another Houston lawyer to represent me in a will contest case because of his expertise in probate. I found him to be very professional, knowledgable and thorough. We settled the case in mediation, but I wouldn't have hesitated in taking the case to court had it no t been for the amount of time and costs involved to do so. I felt like he dotted all the "I's" and crossed all the "T's" in the settlement agreement. I highly recommend him and his firm.
- ★★★★★An intelligent attorney with integrity
anonymous · estate planning ·
Rudy Culp helped me tremendously at a very difficult time when I had to sue to have a family member who was abusing their trustee position removed. Throughout this emotional time, I found his dispassionate advice coupled with a kind demeanor very supportive. While getting the legal job done, he was conscientious, communicative, and straightforward but tactful. I would not hesitate to hire him again.
- ★★★★★diligence, heart, and trust .

- ★★★★★High quality lawyer.
Randy · estate planning ·
I have known Rania Combs for almost twenty years as a client. Her work product has been excellent, thorough, and prompt. She is always available for consultation. We recently completed my estate planning documents and I am highly satisfied with the results. I would recommend her to anyone seeking leg al advice on will and estate planning.
- ★★★★★Care and Confidence
Karen · estate planning ·
Working with Rania to complete my will was incredibly easy. I contacted her initially because I knew that she provided online services and my time is limited. This did not affect the quality of professionalism or knowledge that I received. The quick and clear services were done timely and efficientl y at a reasonable cost. This online process will make it simpler for me to make updates in my will in the future as needed. The amount of knowledge she provided made me feel comfortable and helped me to better understand the process of Estate planning. She is patient and takes the time to explain important details in simple, understandable terms so that I was able to make decisions I was confident in. The ease of the entire process took such a burden off of me. Knowing that I have all my final wishes documented with efficiency and care brings me great peace.
- ★★★★★Exceptional
Cara · estate planning ·
I have nothing but the highest praise for Rania. From our very first meeting, she made a complex and emotional process feel straightforward and reassuring. Her deep knowledge of estate planning, thoughtful attention to every detail, and genuine care for my family’s future were outstanding. I left fee ling completely confident and at peace with my plan. If you’re looking for a compassionate, professional, and truly exceptional estate planning attorney, look no further—highly recommend!

Pamela G · estate planning ·
I have worked with Ms. Combs in 6/2024 this was my review then. I have since revisited and updated some items and again she was so compassionate, kind, caring and understanding. I 100% recommend Ms. Combs I can always reach her quickly if needed and she always available, returns calls, text and answers all messages right away. This would again be a 10/10 again for me. I will repost my first review from 2024 within this review. I continue to work with Ms. Combs and highly encourage anyone in need of a great, honest, professional attorney!! Thanks Rania all you do. Pamela Goodwin- 2026 2024 Review- reposted below: Posted by Pamela | June 21, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning Estate planing I read an article about estate planning and was lead to Rania's article and website and from.there on I was amazed at how kind, caring and compassionate she is.. Ms. Combs took her time listened to my concerns answered the many ,many questions I had before ,during snd after the process, even going further to explain things I had no idea about regarding laws etc... I 100% trust and recommend Ms. Combs for any real estate and all real estate question and/or needs. She is very Professional, kind ,she cates about her clients making the right decisions, things I didn't know about she would explain clearly to ensure I understood,because I was pretty clueless. I was so comfortable speaking with Ms Combs. She cares deeply for her clients. She poured over documents on my case and would call me back to make sure I understood what decisions I had choose and If this w as my understanding of that area. I am truly grateful I was lead to Rania just by reading on estate planning. Ms. Combs is next to an Angel she care 100%. I will always referr to Ms. Combs for any of my needs. She is always available and stays in contact. I can pick up the phone and call her if I wasn't sure about anything and she would answer not only the phone but my questions as well.

Definitely recommend Ms. Combs, she put me at ease by taking her time listening and doing all the work. Please give her a call she here for her clients or future clients needs and willing to answer your questions and explain the process ,never ever pressured. Everything went with ease. Now I a.m relieved that it is completed and I know it rhe way it should be because this Attorney took time out to go over each and every section to explain what it meant and believe me it was a lot of section,but she took her time and was very, very thorough throughout the process.
