Spineless & weak

Weak ,spineless & passive. If austin Is your lawyer your guaranteed to lose. Lack of zealous representation and condescending. This guy did nothing to advocate for my position and even went as far as to claim my views didnt make sense when it was pretty cut & dry. Not recommended at all

Stay away

This man cause me to delayed my visitation process to see my kids , here I was thinking a brother will have the best interests in mind to another brother he collected my money didn't show up to court and blame it on me aging that he showed up to court and because I wasn't present they dismissed my ca...se . Can I point out he told me that my presence wasn't required due to the fact that he'll be there . What he didn't know is that I always always make my own research went back to the court ask to see the records and see why my case got dismissed. Guess what the record show that he never showed up not the petitioner (that will be me ) or his lawyer that will be him . This was March 2023 my case could have been resolved since then . When I confront him he said he showed up not knowing that I already had seek help from LYFT they help me to get my case back in the calendar . I then notify him this he proceeds to ignores my calls and message mind you he took my money already . Due to the fact he was ignoring all my calls I contacted one of my family members in Texas they are part of a law firm but not family services I made them do a 3 way call Guess what the guy answered I spoke my mind he then send me a email that I still have saying he could not represent me no more due to load cases . The court contacted him on my next court date he could never answer why he didn't show up and he never apologies to that day it was 3 years without seeing my children that day if he would have showed up my case could have been resolved I'm talking about an old man that could be my father playing games with my emotions and my life because my kids are my life . Due to covid everything is been a mess they claimed being backed up and have more severe cases but something has to happen with this type of people and to you Mr Austin let's hope God forgives you you could have been a man and tell me sorry I messed up let's keep working instead you choose to ignore me I'm not sure how much this will do but I have to let it be known this old man took my money and didn't do what he was supposed to do he sold me hope . God forgive you hope your kids see this .

Excellent Lawyer

I was very pleased with Mr. Idehen's representation and I was very satisfied with the outcome of my custody case. Mr. Idehen promised to deliver in a very honest and fair way and he did. He's fair and he cares about the best interest of his client. I sought the representation of numerous lawyers befo...re Mr. Idehen and their outlook of my case was very negative not to mention their outrageous fees. I thank God for Mr. Idehen's fair yet competitive approach.

Custody Matters

I had "Stellar Representation" by Attorney, Austin Idehen! When I first met with Mr. Idehen, I felt immediately at ease as if we had known each other for years. With a smile on his face, he listened attentively to the details of my situation and made me feel that he shared my plight. By the time I... left his office, I knew I was in good hands. True to his word, Mr. Idehen delivered everything he promised without any hesitation. Thank you, Mr. Idehen, for your dedication and integrity!
