Mr. Foley is an excellent attorney, He handles all cases expeditiously and acts as if you are his only client even though he has a thriving law practice. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a capable attorney and one who will WIN.
- ★★★★★Professional above reproach
Jeffrey · employment law ·
You never expect it to happen to YOU, but when you suffer life threatening injuries on the job you're seldom prepared for it. That's why having an attorney on your side who is prepared and experienced is necessary. The professionalism and genuine concern of the Foley Law Firm helped see me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Mr. Foley made sure I was medically and financially compensated and not rushed and / or overlooked by the insurance company. I can not reccomend him and his firm highly enough.

Rolissa · family law ·
Pete Makopoulos-Senftleber represented me in a divorce case that I had been trying to resolve for the last 10+ years due to a not so cooperative husband who was constantly moving and refused to agree to the resolution of the marriage. He did what 3 previous lawyers could not. I'm now divorced & am utterly grateful for his willingness to go the extra mile to get things done. He was professional & down to earth who handled everything in a timely and orderly fashion. He was very informative, answered all of my questions and was quick to reply. Pete is very down to earth & a pleasant person and I will be eternally thankful for all of his time and effort he put into my case. He was extremely helpful explaining to me all of the procedures that were needed to be completely to get this divorce done. From finding him .. to serving him ... explaining all paperwork and court filings ...down to the questions that would be asked during the actual court proceedings . He was always available email or phone and when we talked I never felt rushed or like my case, questions or concerns didn't matter because of my circumstances. I have recommended him to everyone I know who needs legal help. I will always be thankful to him for everything he has done to help me finally close this chapter. I am divorced thanks to him ❣️ Many blessings Always, Ms. Johnson

- ★★★★★Highly Recommend
Casandra · family law ·
Pete is very consistent , patient and understanding. He made sure I understood everything about the case, either he would break it down in an email as best as he could or he would always make time for a phone call. He’s very reliable. He always took the time to listen to what I had to say, making sur e he gets all his information correct. We had many reviewing to go over just to make sure nothing was left out and there wasn’t any error. I knew from the very beginning I could count on him. Everything from my divorce case had a positive outcome, if at anytime I ever need a lawyer again, I know who to go to. He did an outstanding job with the divorce case and I am highly satisfied. I recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.
- ★★★★★Phenomenal
Marquissa · employment law ·
Mr. Makopoulos-Senftleber provided invaluable legal counsel in recovering outstanding wages from a previous employer. Prior to engaging his services, the prospect of successful recovery was uncertain; however, an initial consultation with Mr. Makopoulos-Senftleber immediately alleviated these concer ns. The entire legal process was completed within three weeks, exceeding expectations in terms of efficiency and seamless execution. Communication throughout was consistently clear, concise, and readily comprehensible, with all actions undertaken only after obtaining my informed consent and ensuring complete transparency.
- ★★★★★A Great Lawyer

David Manley did an outstanding job in my legal case. He was thorough, honest about my case and effective at reaching a resolution. He communicated with me throughout the entire several month process so that i was always informed of the status of the case. He also asked for my input and review of doc uments we received or he prepared in the case. In my opinion, he never mislead me about the strength of my case or the expected results. This was extremely important to me.
- ★★★★★TRUSTWORTHY

Mr. Manley went above and beyond my expectations to win my case. He explained how the case would be handled, the good and bad. He stayed in contact with me and was always there to answer my questions.
- ★★★★★Switched sides when talking to my employer attorney.
Sarah · employment law ·
Do NOT hire this guy if your employer is discriminating against you. I paid him 5k to represent me. After my payment cleared, he began communicating with me less. He then said in an email, that since I was going to lose, I should work out a separation agreement. Why would I pay this jerk 5k if I was going to lose? He dodged my calls the entire night after he sent that email. I had to demand my money back email. He made some slimey statement in an email reply about how he wasn't making much by representing me. I replied threatening to complain to the State Bar if he didn't return my money. He kept $200 saying that's they cost of using Am. Express. He never did return my calls. This was for me, a horrible experience I don't intend to repeat. Save your money and avoid this guy!!!
- ★★★★★Words Can't Even Express Our Gratitude and Appreciation
Shanon · litigation ·
Words cannot express how thorough Jakki is with everything she does and says. She is to the point, cuts through all the lawyer lingo and explains things in plain English so you are on the same page. I can't begin to tell you how appreciative we are of everything she did for us. She is always on top o f everything and keeps you informed every step of the way. Our case went to trial (jury trial) and she exceeded our expectations. She's very experienced with trials, and brought the other individual's inconsistencies and contradictions into light. She stands and fights for what's right. She's ethical, a great listener and will always address your concerns.
- ★★★★★Results oriented, patient and thorough
Rebecca · business law ·
I worked with the Hansen Law Firm and Jakki Hansen due a a contract dispute. Jakki was patient in listening to my story, guided me through the documentation I needed and the ins/outs of various approaches. I appreciated her ability to listen, understand my feelings, and patiently redirect me to the law (rationality/law vs. emotion). Our case took over a year to resolve, but Jakki kept at it, and kept us informed. I highly recommend the Hansen Law Firm for their professionalism and for their results.

- ★★★★★Passionate, Driven and she Delivers
anonymous · employment law ·
Attorney Plante-Northington represented me in a legal matter alongside another attorney. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in litigation, genuinely cares about her clients, their case and their desire for justice. My experience with her was life changing. Attorney Plante won't tell you what y ou want to hear but instead what is realistic and true. Sometimes that was difficult for me to accept but was well needed. She also has a strong faith and it is shown in her actions and expressions. In dealing with my case I began to question my faith. Attorney Plante unconciously helped me restore my faith. I will be forever thankful for all that Attorney Plante has added to my life. When my case was resolved I left feeling content and vindicated. She was able to settle my matters with my employer prior to litigation. I would highly recommend Attorney Plante-Northington
- ★★★★★The right legal advocate
Christopher · business law ·
I’ve had an excellent experience with Victoria. She is a top notch advocate with integrity but tenaciousness. She has excellent negotiation skills and experience to support business activities as well as HR People issues. She will not stop until she has an acceptable result for her clients.
- ★★★★★Excellent Attorney
Dale · employment law ·
Words cannot express the heartache that comes with having to pursue litigation against a company one has faithfully served. This is the place I found myself in when I was terminated after more than 20 years. With the help of a very good friend, I was referred to Victoria Plante-Northington. She li stened to my story and felt I had a valid case that deserved to be rectified. I felt what happened to me could easily happen to someone else at the whim of any supervisor with a personal vendetta against an employee. Victoria took the time to walk me through the process, from depositions, to pre-trial hearings to the trial and every step along the way. I must say, the whole legal process is extremely confusing, frustrating, and time consuming to someone who has not had any dealings with litigation. I simply do not know what I would have done without the capable, patient, diligent, and experienced expertise of Victoria on my side. She believed that a wrong had been committed and needed to be rectified, period. My former employer is a large corporation, with unlimited resources. Victoria was not afraid. She simply would not be bullied and never backed down, no matter how many underhanded, unscrupulous tactics they used against us. She is extremely intelligent, focused, honest, and straightforward in all of her dealings on my behalf. I highly recommend Victoria Plante-Northington to anyone that find themselves seeking an attorney who is willing to work tirelessly on their behalf. Dedication and diligence is who she is and I am thankful to have her working on my behalf.
- ★★★★★Outstanding Attorney in Employment and Labor Law
Pamela · employment law ·
Attorney Victoria Plante is an outstanding legal counselor and litigator in the area of employment and labor law. Atty. Plante is also a woman of faith. All are most evident as she presided over and counseled me on several matters pertaining to my concerns and needs. Her knowledge, guidance, inst ruction, and commitment to seeking fairness, truth, and justice are exemplary.
- ★★★★★Passionate, smart, and professional

I have known Kevin for more than ten years. Kevin’s knowledge of the law has always been current and does an excellent job in conveying the options in a case or the up side and the downside including a strategy that is realistic. His business acumen is well rounded and I don’t spend time educating hi m about our business. Kevin is clear in the conveyance of his information and I find him to be truthful in his statements. The industry expertise that I expect is always fulfilled. I find his expertise, and trustworthiness to be some of the industry’s highest, which results in a high credibility rating in my book. I would definitely recommend Attorney Kevin R. Michaels to anyone who wishes to have only the best representation. Great job Kevin, Dan

- ★★★★★I highly recommend Justin Strother.
anonymous · litigation ·
I trust Justin Strother. He earned every bit of this rating and recommendation. Justin has a strong sense of honor which permeates his legal practice. I believe he is a rare and first class advisor, negotiator and litigator. He is intelligent, perceptive and very creative in his advocacy. Willin g to tell clients the truth, not just what they want to hear. While he is a talented litigator, he often advises strongly to avoid litigation whenever reasonably possible. That being said, I nick-named him 'Gladiator' for his unyielding drive to victory in the courtroom. He makes no assumptions, he does his homework, and he enters the arena expertly prepared. Unlike the many lawyers I have known, he does not have a bloated sense of self, but he takes his work and his duty to his clients very seriously. The bottom line is that he will deliver whatever he promises. Justin is much more than a good lawyer; he is a good man, in a world that need more good men.
- ★★★★★Experienced Litigation Attorney
anonymous · business law ·
Here is a very knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney that will provide advice and direction that is in the best interest of his clients. Working with Justin was a pleasure under the circumstances of our business litigation case. He knew when to be a bull dog and when to be a conservative moderat or. From past experience Justin was very responsive and sensitive to the needs and wishes of his clients. He will offer several scenarios and options which allow the client to choose the path they want to pursue. He will also provide is thoughts and layout the advantages and disadvantages of each option he presents.
- ★★★★★Honest, smart and HIGHLY effective
Paige · litigation ·
We retained Justin Strother to handle a complex dispute that we believed needed emergency relief from the Harris county courts. Having had the unfortunate personal experience of other prior litigation in both family and civil court elsewhere, I have painfully-acquired firsthand knowledge of how commo n it is to receive absolutely poor legal representation. In fact, even in this particular case we initially hired a different attorney who, after literally cashing our sizable retainer, announced less than two weeks before the due date that he was not going to file the emergency relief we had hired him to file, and instead plan to spend the next couple of years or more litigating it. I was horrified, and panicked. Who would possibly help us at this late date? And not only step in, but not take advance of us financially for doing so? And then we were introduced to Justin Strother. I cannot even articulate just how excellent of an attorney Justin is. He is literally the best and most effective attorney I have ever worked with, VERY smart and VERY no-nonsense. and got right down to the crux of how to not only correctly take control of our case, but resolve our issues in a very calm and focused manner. He has an acute knowledge of the law and a very effective communication style which resulted in him immediately obtaining the requested emergency relief. AND, he got our case favorably resolved in only four months, versus the next several years in court, which in Harris County is no small feat. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Strother if you need a great Houston lawyer.
- ★★★★★Talented, dependable - highly recommend

I was impressed at first by how well he listened and that I never had to repeat myself even though the situation I was in was complicated. He understood the intricacies of my contracting business and his advice was spot on. Also, he negotiated well with the other party.

- ★★★★★Best lawyer around!
Ryan, and Crystal Chesnutt · employment law ·
My wife had a discrimination case that involved her job. We called several lawyers, and no one around us was willing to even give us the time to even talk to them on the phone. When I called Josh he answered the phone himself, and when I told him what was going on... he was immediately concerned for what my wife had gone through, and wanted to see us as soon as possible. We met with him, and he couldn’t have been nicer to us both, and our 2 children. He mapped out his course of action... told us exactly what to expect, and we felt confident to leave it in his hands. He called us almost weekly filling us in on things, as they were happening. Called just to check on us in general, and was always great with communication. Long story short, he was able to win my wife’s case for her, and made it as easy on us as possible. The only sad thing about the whole situation is that my wife really felt like when she went to get her check from him when it was all over. She felt like she was losing a friend. He really is an amazing person, and an amazing attorney. Everyone in the office is friendly, and they are there to help you. Totally a family atmosphere. 10/10 we both HIGHLY recommend the Verde law firm.
- ★★★★★Best Lawyer in Texas!!
Kaleigh · litigation ·
I can’t thank Josh enough for all of his hard work and time throughout my case. He replied quickly to emails and phone calls, and never stopped working to ensure that I would have the best possible outcome. He protected my name, digged for every bit of information he could find, and was confident thr ough times when it seemed like the odds were against us. He is willing to listen and guide you in the right direction and keeps you informed every step of the way. I am more than pleased with the settlement and will never forget what he has done for me and my family. I will always be grateful for all of his efforts on my behalf. He is a knowledgeable great lawyer, and overall, just a good guy who genuinely cares about his clients. I cannot recommend this firm enough. Thank you Josh!!
- ★★★★★Honestly an incredible attorney!
Kady ·
I really cannot say enough about Joshua. From our first conversation I felt very confident in his abilities. And I was right, he took great care of my case, updating me regularly and setting realistic expectations along the way. I really enjoyed working with him, and as much as I hope I never need to - he will be the first person I call if I ever need legal council again.

Grateful for his experience and knowledge. Josh, took a stressful situation for me and turned it into a positive outcome. Very thankful for his help in guiding me every step of the way. His communication and calmness is exactly what is needed when you find yourself in a longtime employer dispute. Highly recommend Josh and his firm to work for you and outcome you will be pleased with.
- ★★★★★He exceeded my expectations!
anonymous · employment law ·
I went to talk to Josh about my former employer and how I had been let go after 28 1/2 years and they kept the other admin instead of giving me options to stay. Josh explained my situation and he told me if I wanted to sue them I'd have to go back to Ohio where my job had been. Suing them wasn't the only option he gave me and he chose to talk to them on my behalf instead and it worked. I wasn't looking to get rich just wanted my severance pay paid as a lump sum rather than over the course of 3 to 4 months which would have messed up my unemployment, and within a matter of weeks the issue was resolved and I was extremely happy. I would recommend Josh to anyone looking to intercede on their behalf with a current or former employer. Everything was handled the way I would have wanted. I was paid a lump sum for my severance but I did ask him to have them pay his fees because he was entitle to those and so much more. Love this guy.
