I've worked with Keith for my divorce case and now I'm working with him again for the agreement modification. He is a good man and a real gentleman of old times. He will keep his calm, try to guide you and help you. He is not a monster aiming for your money and aiming for the better results for himse lf. He will look for your benefit and he will be absolutely honest.
- ★★★★★Godsend!!
Curtis · family law ·
To all who read this, I want to let you know the kind of attorney Keith Phillips is. I married my wife over three years ago and with the marriage got 2 stepsons. In my attempt to adopt the boys, We ran into intense legal opposition, which lasted for over 2 years. I was referred to Keith by a dear f riend. Keith took over the adoption case and with his tireless efforts, I was able to adopt my 2 sons. Keith is an excellent and Attorney, who truly cares for his client. I highly recommend him and will definitely call on his assistance again if the need arises. Thank You Mr. Keith Phillips we couldn't have done it without you. The Carter's

I did not know what options I had when I was in a difficult situation at work. Tamecia let me know what options I had available and referred me to the Rob WIley law firm. She is thoughtful and kind and really gave me great information. It was a pleasure working with her.

He did a great job! Fair price! Timely! I had another friend going thru similar circumstances. Mr. Burton provided services in less than 1/2 the time and for 1/2 the expense. He listens to your dilemma. One must realize , there is a lot attorneys cannot renegotiate due to the laws. But there are a fe w alternatives, and Mr. Burton researched my options with his resources and colleagues and provided an equitable resolution. You do have to disclose all that both parties have on the table to explore the options. My agreed order was primarily changes in child support and visitations. That was finalized by the court. The ex was behind in other matters and did not want to go to court and Mr. Burton researched a settlement out of court for that matter. His assistant is very helpful and patient. If you are in a hurry just let them know and keep pushing. they will work with you. Do your own research, it helps understand the limits attorneys have. You need to provide as much help as you can since all circumstances are different. I will use him again if needed.

Don Nguyen is an excellent attorney. He is very patient and helped me to understand the case and potential results. His great attitude brings me to a very comfortable atmosphere as well as solving my problems. I highly recommend Don Nguyen to anyone who needs a lawyer.
- ★★★★★If Looking For Representation Look No Further...
Justina ·
I am very pleased with the level of service Don provided me. He definitely fought on my behalf and didn't stop until I was satisfied. He often asked if I was satisfied with his service throughout the course of him working my case. He was always able to answer my questions and remained in constant com munication with me. I didn't have to wait long periods of time for him to respond and even if he couldn't address my case at the time, he let me know when he would be able to get back with me. Don was very personable and his staff was equally as friendly. I would recommend him to anyone looking for representation!
- ★★★★★Excellent!!!!

Christina Cowart · litigation ·
Mr. Don Nguyen is a very wonderful and hardworking attorney he will fight for you all the way to the end. I am forever indebted to Mr. Don, because of how hard he worked on my case. He was very honest and explained everything to my husband and myself every step of the way, he never got frustrated whe n we had so many questions and he was always polite with a great sense of humor! Because of Mr. Don my husband and myself were able to walk away from our situation with peace and we got more than what we bargained for!
- ★★★★★Family Law
Frank · family law ·
My greatest satisfaction in working with Kay is her responsiveness to my case. I've worked with attorneys in the past that return calls whenever they please, if at all. Kay is not like that; she took a very personal interest in my case and was a true ally. Further, her knowledge of family law is exce llent, plus she has the backing of other "specialist" attorneys in her firm, which proves to be extremely important. We've been through divorce and subsequent custody trials together over the past 5 years, and Kay has handled depositions, temporary hearings, mediation, interrogatories, document review, final hearings, case entry.... everything. I'll always use Kay for my family law needs and would strongly recommend her to anyone.
- ★★★★★Spectacular Family Attorney - Very Knowledgeable, Responsive, Cost-Conscious
David · family law ·
I have had Kay as my family law attorney since 2009 and she has been the most amazing advocate and supporter. As a father I was under the mistaken belief that my rights as a father were subservient to my ex-wife's rights as a mother. Kay completely transformed my opinion with exceptional legal knowl edge and explanations. Whether in emails, phone calls, or in-person meetings, she is always providing me with the best legal knowledge. Two recent cases come to mind. My divorce decree (which I hadn't had a lawyer review!) gave me less-than what I was legally entitled under Texas Law. Kay helped me pursue a modification to grant me Expanded Standard Possession. Based on being a great father she said I would have absolutely no difficulties winning this. She attempted to negotiate directly with my ex-wife's attorney, but unfortunately my ex-wife's attorney was more interested in padding the bill and delayed and delayed and wouldn't respond to emails or calls from Kay. She also attempted trickery to keep the case from moving forward. We just met roadblock after roadblock with my ex's lawyer. Finally we get a court day and her lawyer attempts to get the case dismissed on a technicality, even though Kay was certain we'd had an agreement. The judge was pissed with her attorney and denied the motion, but time had run out on our slot so he sent us to mediation. 1.5 years after it all began we got to mediation and the mediator (a former judge in the very court we'd been in earlier) told my ex-wife point-bland "If this goes to court, your husband is going to get everything he's asking for, so you'd be best advised to settle this here." Which was exactly what Kay had told me 1.5 years before (and I had told my ex 1.5 years before). If my ex's lawyer had been like Kay, it would have been resolved in 20 minutes. The second case was when my son turned 12 and decided he wanted to live with me. Again Kay gave me great advice, even way back when he asked when he was 11 and Kay said, "Nothing we can do now, wait until he's 12. Call me in a year and we can start." How awesome is that?? A shady lawyer would have found some excuse to start billing me, but Kay is not like that. Now that my son is 12 Kay's work has been stellar. I am so happy with her work and support. She is very cost conscious and always looks for ways to keep the bill to a minimum. Added to that, her billable rate is relatively low. For the quality of the service, her billable rate is an absolute steal!! She explained to me exactly how the court looks at situations like this and how they would likely rule (in our favor!) based on our circumstances. I know if the circumstances weren't in our favor she'd say, "Save your money, you can't win this one." She is an exceptional family lawyer; kind, knowledgeable and responsive. I highly recommend her.
- ★★★★★AMAZING PERSON IN THE WORLD!

- ★★★★★Excellent Counsel
Chris · family law ·
Bruce handled my divorce with the skill and competence one would expect of a former associate judge. He knew his way around the family law system such that I had absolutely no worries. When all was said and done, my ex-wife was referring Bruce to her family and friends because of how competent he w as in comparison to her attorney.
- ★★★★★Best Lawyer for Immigration Compliance!
anonymous · immigration ·
Jacob Monty is hands-down the best attorney when it comes to immigration compliance. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to help. Whether it’s I-9 audits, worksite investigations, or staying ahead of changing immigration policies, Jacob offers practical, business-savvy advice that makes a real difference. We’re lucky to have him as a trusted legal partner—highly recommend!

Ms. Willars helped me negotiate a quick outcome to a legal issue our company was having. She was knowledgeable and straightforward in her approach to our problem. Will definitely be using her in the future .
- ★★★★★Unhinged
anonymous · family law ·
Kate is a condescending person with zero empathy or compassion for her clients or potential clients. Unprofessional correspondence, major personality switches, overall scathing attitude. Doesn’t listen or read and accepts no accountability for her mistakes or assumptions. She’s cold and arrogant. Sh e will treat and speak to you like you’re an idiot and charge you excessively for it. I’ve never encountered a more venomous and unstable person, especially in what she claims to be a high-end, professional setting. To those seeking divorce counsel, beware! You will be traumatized all over again.

- ★★★★★Superior
Beverly · litigation ·
Ms. McConnico is kind. She is fair and honest. I never felt as though she was in a hurry. She listened and advised us well. I would recommend to anyone! The case was a victory for us!
- ★★★★★Do not hire her
anonymous · family law ·
So many things wrong here. Besides the fact that her follow through is terrible (forever to return calls...over a week sometimes, etc), everything she told me would happen went the exact opposite. In 16 hours of mediation she caved to the mediator every single time. I had to call her out and say H ey! That's not what you told me, and she still sided with mediator. Never fought for me. I spent about 40k and my ex still got more time with the kids then he should have, pays less than the state guideline support, and I got less of our joint assets. She was terrible. It was as if she was intimidated or scared to disagree with the mediator. She went on vacation the week my final hearing was scheduled and her paralegal had to get all my paperwork submitted. I should have fired her and found a new attorney.
- ★★★★★Would not recommend to a friend
anonymous ·
I would not recommend working with Kate. I found that she had trouble keeping the specifics of my situation straight (and things were relatively simple). She also became aggressive and condescending. I was not comfortable moving forward with her as my attorney.
- ★★★★★Thankful.

- ★★★★★Family Law help
Tristen · family law ·
I cannot thank Attorney Tran and her team enough for the compassion and professionalism they showed me during one of the most stressful times of my life. Navigating family court on your own is overwhelming, and when I reached out to her office, they truly went above and beyond to help me understand e xactly what I needed to get to the finish line. Her assistant was incredibly responsive, kind, and thorough in explaining every step. Attorney Tran clearly cares about the people she works with , not just the paperwork. If you're dealing with a family law matter and need someone in your corner who will actually guide you through the process, I highly recommend this office. Thank you for helping me get this resolved!

Lizzette clearly knows her field of expertise and, unlike many attorneys, she responded quickly to my questions. She was instrumental in helping us reach a successful outcome to our matter.
- ★★★★★A Wealth of Experience showing
Marina · employment law ·
Last year (late May,2014) I found myself in a major double bind. On the one hand, I was facing an unfair and inequitable dismissal from my job, a deadline imminent ; on the other I was also recovering from a traumatic experience which made it very difficult for me to be fully available mentally an d emotionally. Ms. Palmer took on the challenge, leading a team of support that could respond to the situation in a timely and efficient manner. Her long experience, creativity and integrity were all brought to bear as she designed a viable plan of action to negotiate the best possible settlement with my employer. What impressed me the most at the time were how patiently and skilfully she gathered accurate information from me at a time when my mental faculties were compromised. Empathy, care and compassion were never missing ; she was never condescending, never less than thorough, always resourceful when I was clearly not understanding a question or the importance of a detail. I was kept informed about every step of the legal process and when necessary, translated them into 'lay language for me' . Although she did not hesitate on pressing an issue when she needed to, she maintained a professional and cordial tone in her communications with the opposing party. Once the settlement was concluded, she followed up with clear instructions, answering all questions I presented. . Perhaps the most rewarding outcome of this process was that I knew I was no simply another 'case' she won. She clearly rejoiced with me for the happy resolution of my predicament and with the part she played in it.
- ★★★★★Excellent Service and Results

I hired Lizzette for an employment issue. She was able to quickly and professionally resolve it in my favor more so than expected while avoiding protracted negotiations. I shopped around and there are attorneys who cost less, but I feel the money spent to hire Lizzette was an excellent investment.
- ★★★★★Exceptional

- ★★★★★Fantastic Attorney
William · family law ·
My divorce could have been a complete catastrophe for myself, my children, and my former spouse. Through Don Royall and my former spouse's attorney, there was a four-party collaborative divorce agreement. Although both my former spouse and I had strongly diverging feelings about the nature, circumsta nces, and deeper meaning of why the marriage was end-- the collaborative process simply eliminated this as a major driver. In doing so, there were far fewer opportunities to create the sort of acrimony that would otherwise characterize the adversarial family law litigation process. Quite simply, a collaborative divorce is a better way to go. While there are many attorneys who are qualified to do a collaborative divorce, Don Royall is especially good. He always treated me with respect. With every communication, he showed me what a patient, practical, and trustworthy advocate was. Don Royall is a fantastic attorney.
- ★★★★★The Best Lawyer We've Ever Dealt With
Ken · family law ·
Ever heard of a lawyer with compassion and genuine concern for your interest? Neither did I until we hired him to handle a private adoption for us. Our case was very complicated and I honestly don't think any other lawyer could have done near as good of a job as Mr. Royall and his staff did. A 10 out of 10 score.
- ★★★★★The Royall Law Firm
anonymous · family law ·
Mr. Royall is an extremely knowledge and respected family law attorney. He helped my family in a messy custody suit. Because of his knowledge of family law in Texas, he made the awful experience as simple and peaceful as it could be. My family was always aware of the next step and how and when it wou ld be accomplished. We never worried about being blindsided by my ex, because Mr. Royall was in command of the entire process. In the end, our family goals were met. We would highly recommend the Royall law firm to anyone with custody issues.
- ★★★★★One of the best adoption attorneys!
Linda · family law ·
We hired Don to represent us in an adoption case. We knew going into the process that it might be difficult, but had know idea what we were really in for. We were thankful to have Don in our corner to help us navigate all of the twists and turns that we came across. He has a true love for creating families and has a heart the size of Texas. He was patient with us when we had questions and when we became frustrated with the process. We never would have made it through without Don being there for us. I would recommend Don to anyone that wants a reliable, honest and trustworthy attorney.
- ★★★★★Personable and professional. Excellent in court.

Mr. Calzada was available by email and I could even call his cell phone. He talked to me like a real person. He spent the time to explain my case and walked me through what was needed from me and what to expect. His offices were that of a very expensive high end attorney, but he never talked down to me. I always felt at ease. When we finally went to court, he tore the other side to shreds. He was 100% at ease in court. It made me feel confident. I was VERY happy with my result. I strongly recommend him to anyone in need of a family attorney. Worth every penny.
- ★★★★★Competent and Dependable
Andy · family law ·
I went through 2 laywers before i met Paul Calzada and i now i have been working with him for the past 4 years, from getting a court ordered name change for my oldest Daughter to advice regarding Divorce and Child Support. He's always been available to answer any questions in a timely and competent m anner.
- ★★★★★Review for Paul Calzada
Shelley ·
Paul is not only helpful but truly does put what's best for his clients above everything else. We will continue to use Paul Calzada for all our legal needs. We couldn't ask for a better lawyer. He's very knowledgable and a hard worker. But what impresses me the most is that he has good morals. Some lawyers seem to chase money and winning more than doing what's right. Paul is not only a good lawyer, he's a good person. We are very pleased to have found him!

Rachel Sedita is a great lawyer. She is professional and responsible My case is so successful with her help. She brings back to me %50 after all my debts. I truly appreciate what she had done for my case.
- ★★★★★Excellent Legal Representation
Kim · family law ·
I hired Rachel to represent me in my divorce after twenty four years of marriage. I feel that with Rachel as my attorney, I received excellent legal representation. Her professionalism is remarkable, along with her knowledge an execution of the law. With this being, not only a very difficult situa tion, it was also an extremely sensitive and emotional time in my life and Rachel handled this case from beginning to end with what I would consider perfection in every aspect. I feel that when people are faced with the fear of the unknown and are then given a sense of peace throughout this unfamiliar legal process, then they have found the correct Legal Representation. I definitely found just that in Rachel and for that I’m grateful. I’m moving forward with my new life on a very positive note and also knowing that I was represented by the most professional and well rounded attorney that anyone could ever ask for. My recommendation to any and everyone is that you can take comfort in knowing that if you retain Rachel for your legal needs, you have hired THE VERY BEST !!!!
- ★★★★★Divorce Case
Stuart · family law ·
Rachel Smith is an excellent lawyer who knows the law well. She and her paralegal staff (specifically Zaida Lazos) did an exceptional job with my divorce case. Rachel took the time to hear all of my concerns and clearly, concisely outlined all the different courses of action including the positive s and negatives with each choice. Furthermore, Rachel and her staff always responded to me in a timely manner. I could not have asked for better representation, and working with Rachel was incredibly easy and the least stressful part of a very difficult, painful event in my life. Without hesitation, I give Rachel Smith my highest recommendation.
