We have hired Ms Kay to defend a custody case. So far I like her realistic approach. I will provide more feedback as the case progresses.
- ★★★★★WOW words cannot express how impactful she has been on our lives!!
Bobby · family law ·
Of all of the Professionals I have dealt with in the past Heather Daniels is the best. She is a truly incredible attorney. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable and informative, she really cares about her clients and it shows. She is tough and strong when required and has empathy and understa nding when needed. I cannot say enough, she has helped my children and I during the most difficult and trying times in our lives. She translates the law and legal happenings to where you can understand and feel like you know what is happening.

I hired Claudia from Azam Ward and Sullivan. Her and her team made a stressful situation into a great outcome. I reviewed and researched several lawyers before meeting with her and without a doubt, I would choose her all over again. She answered all my questions, eased my mind when I was very worried . She is someone I can call a friend. She went above and beyond that's why I highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce! From the beginning until the very end, guided me and took care of my divorce case. I appreciate all the hard work and effort her and her whole staff has done.
- ★★★★★Best Family Attorney in Texas!!

Claudia Sullivan is by far the best family attorney in Texas!! Her knowledge and experience in all aspects of family law is stellar!! Consulted with her regarding my complicated divorce and custody case after hiring a previous attorney who messed it up and she fixed my case. I received my desired out come and now I refer her to all my friends and family. I highly recommend Claudia!! She’s the best!

I have been a trial lawyer for 30 years and so I know a good one when I see them. I hired Wendy for my divorce and she made what could have been a horrible experience into a tolerable one. I have now used her more than once and I have been very pleased with the results. She is frank, direct, ruthless , and typically the smartest lawyer in the courtroom. I would not think of getting divorced (or married), without her.

Ms. Burgower handled a divorce/custody case for me. I initially hired her because of her reputation as a bulldog. However, as her client I became the recipient of her wrath. She was difficult to deal with, called and berated me on multiple occasions. In my opinion, it is never OK for an attorney to yell at and insult their client. Especially when the client is calm in demeanor and looking for help. Hiring her only increased my stress level at a difficult time.
- ★★★★★Gladiator
anonymous · family law ·
In probably one of the most uncomfortable things you are going to experience there is nothing more important than having the smarter lawyer. I got the truth, good and bad, from Wendy. If you are looking for someone to hold your hand and give you a box of Kleenex then you need to look elsewhere. I w ant to give a very clear picture here. Divorce is war people. There are 2 lawyers in this fight and 1 of them represents you. I viewed Wendy as a gladiator- she's tough on you and even tougher on the other side. You are well prepared and she has an excellent support staff(thanks Diana!). Bottom line someone as good as her doesn't turn things off when it's just the 2 of you in room. Think about that when you are about to trust someone else with the most important things in your life.
- ★★★★★Very poor

I paid 800.00 for what seemed like a hurried consultation at which she berated me almost the entire time. I Walked out of her office feeling lower than when i came in. If you show the least bit of mental weakness, this bulldog charges and rips you apart!! My fragile state could not have held up u nder her insults, had i hired her. She had the nerve to ask me as i was walking out of the consultation room if i had paid my consultation fee. The receptionist takes this fee before you are allowed to speak with her. That question was another bulldog move to flex her power over a person in a vulnerable state. No empathy at all. It was a horrible experience all the way around.. However, to be fair, if you can stand up to bully types, I have every bit of faith that she will get the job done in your favor.
- ★★★★★Honest, Respectful, Brilliant Attorney

Mr. Pavlas handled my nasty divorce case and was always responsive to me. He responded to my emails and calls ALWAYS. I never had to wait days or weeks for a reply. I was always kept informed and up to date about everything to do with my case. I am very happy with the results and very impressed w ith how it was handled.
- ★★★★★Responsive, Strategic, and Genuinely Invested

I strongly endorse Ashley for anyone in need of a family law attorney. Ashley brings the perfect mix of intelligence, empathy, and tenacity to her practice. She genuinely cares about her clients and it shows, in the way she communicates, how prepared she is, and how she navigates difficult situation s with both clarity and compassion. She’s the kind of lawyer you want in your corner when the stakes are high. I’ve seen how she shows up for her clients, not just as a legal advisor, but as a steady advocate who really listens and fights for the right outcome. I wouldn’t hesitate to send a friend or colleague her way.
- ★★★★★Excellent attorney

anonymous · business law ·
I recently worked with Ashley on the drafting of a contractual agreement, and I was thoroughly impressed with her work. As an attorney myself, I’m familiar with the quality and caliber of legal services across the profession, and I can confidently say that her work stands out. She was exceptionall y responsive, smart, and thorough throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand the nuances of the agreement and ensured that my interests were fully protected. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she consistently provided thoughtful, strategic input that added real value. What also stood out was her mindfulness of costs. She was efficient without ever compromising quality, and she communicated clearly about billing and scope, which I greatly appreciated. In short, her work is of high caliber, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-tier legal representation. She’s a true professional and a pleasure to work with.

Emanuel Caiti has managed two major life events with a high level of professionalism and with a good heart. My faith says he was an answer to prayer. The civil defense / family law attorney that I would recommend to family and friends.

Mike · family law ·
My name is Mike. I had one of the toughest situations regarding my son, and had at least fifteen other attorneys turn my case down. Without skipping a beat, Larry took the case and has worked more miracles than I can tell. When I say this is the best lawyer in Texas, I mean it. He cares about his cli ents, and fights tooth and nail for what they deserve.
- ★★★★★Expert Guidance Through Probate Process
Bill · estate planning ·
We lost our Dad last December and we had never been through the probate process before. That's why we're incredibly grateful for Larry Chamberlin of Chamberlin Law and Mediation. From our first meeting, Larry put us at ease. He walked us through the probate process for our dad's estate, explaining everything in terms we could understand. His expertise was evident: - Thorough preparation for every step - Impressive performance at the Harris County probate hearing - Skilled negotiations that protected our interests - Efficient management of all legal procedures What struck us most was Larry's commitment to our case. He wasn't just going through the motions – he genuinely cared about helping our family during this difficult time. If you're facing probate in Harris County, we can't recommend Larry Chamberlin highly enough. His knowledge, professionalism, and compassion made all the difference for us.
- ★★★★★Superior!

I used Ms Parker for my Divorce… I told her I want to handle everything without going to court and she did just that! Then a year later my ex-wife wanted to change some things up on the decree.. so I had to call Ms Parker again… she is so professional…take the time to listen to what your trying to do and gives you the best advice and guidance possible! I would definitely recommend her services to others! Happy to call her my Johhny Cochrad of Lawyers! Thanks again!

Leneice was patient, caring, and wise. It was a seamless process with the results I desired.
- ★★★★★Ms Leneice was wonderful
anonymous · family law ·
I hired Ms. Parker as my divorce attorney, although we had a few rough days she was wonderful to work with. To be honest, I worked with Ms. Parker for about 10 months before my divorce was finalized. I couldn’t have picked a better attorney. She was honest, thoughtful and very knowledgeable about my situation. I would highly recommend Ms Parker to everyone I know!
- ★★★★★Great service
Justin · family law ·
Leneice did a GREAT job helping me get custody of my son. She replied back very quickly and was actually concerned about the job that she did. I would highly recommend her to anyone else. My family appreciate the great work that she did fot us.

I have worked with Enrique Torres for the past few years and I can honestly say he is one of the most hardworking lawyers I have ever met! He is very thorough and dedicated to deliver results which he did! I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me and my family! He is not scared t o roll up his sleeves and work on complicated cases with many layers as he is very calculated and sensitive to all issues.
- ★★★★★Divorcio
Zafiro · family law ·
Respeto cada comentario pero en mi caso fue completamente injusto hizo q mi ex marido se quedara con la parte de una compañia q yo construi para el futuro de mis hijos y este hombre se quedo con todo legal mente yo no se hablar y leer ingles y me obligaron a firmar sin lapresencia de un abogado. Cabe aclarar q fue contratado por mi exmarido para llevar acabo el divorcio

Billy · family law ·
I hired Mr. Torres to represent me in a child custody case. He was professional and upfront as far as his assessment of my case. The communication was always exceptional and there was never a hassle reaching him or one of his representatives.

Brilliant strategist, great listener, great attention to detail, professional demeanor with a great human element when conversing with others involved in case, makes sure not juggle too many cases at once which allows him to dedicate his full focus, time & energy to your case.

- ★★★★★Hold Patrick Upton in High Esteem.
Mary · family law ·
"I" highly recommend Patrick Upton for all high conflict custody grandparent's rights cases. Patrick and his team (Susan, Roxanne, Jennifer) bent over backwards to make sure we were comfortable with the status of our case and the strategy going forward. Patrick Upton is Confident, has Integrity, know s Family Law and Cares about his Clients. My 4 year old grandson thank's God for his "Home, Home" every night in his Prayers.
- ★★★★★If You do not hire Patrick, your Ex will
Muhammad · family law ·
When it comes to family law attorneys, there is Patrick Upton and then there's everyone else. Divorce, custody, CPS, protective order - pick anything in Family Law and I would not be exaggerating to say his knowledge and presentation in Court is unparalleled. My ex hired 4 different law firms and P atrick crushed all 4 named partners. And he is very cognizant of cost. But most impressive of all, Patrick and his team treated me and took care of me like family. Hiring him will go down as one of the best decisions ever in my life.
- ★★★★★Peace of mind
Justin · family law ·
Peace of mind. That is what I get having Patrick Upton, Jennifer, and their team in my corner over the last 6 years. As your advocates they will assure every concern is addressed and proactively anticipate your legal needs throughout the entire process and beyond. They have always been very responsi ve and usually I have an answer within minutes of my inquiry. In my situation specifically as an Airline Pilot, there was a need for a very creative custody order that recognized the nature of a pilot’s schedule. Patrick and his team were able to craft that order to ensure our child has equal access to both of his parents despite the challenges that doing so presented. The team far exceeded my expectations and made a very high stress situation palatable and easy to navigate. If you are an Airline pilot or employee going through a divorce or a modification, do yourself a favor and call Patrick Upton and Jennifer Varadi. There isn’t a better team in Houston or Texas for that matter to handle a family law case with issues specific to our industry. Schedules, Travel, Make-up provisions, conflict clauses, Patrick Upton and Jennifer have written the new standard for Airline Pilot and Airline employee decrees. Wow. Thank you!
- ★★★★★Excellence
Wes · family law ·
I don’t think of customer service when I think of lawyers, but it is definitely Patrick’s passion. I was taken care of like I was part of the team. I had a divorce situation in which I did not understand the process and had a unique set of requirements. In addition, I needed the most cost-effective r oute and not once was I treated like a “second class” client. Patrick and his team ensured that all my requirements were not only met but exceeded and that I felt comfortable along the way. He made sure to follow up when necessary and I am very pleased with the outcome. His knowledge of divorce law is unparalleled and has the integrity to match. If and when issues arise in the future, I know who I am going to call. I highly recommend Patrick and his team.
- ★★★★★The best!
