Kevin M. Prendergast

It's been a little over a year ago since my custody and child support case, and I just wanted to say Kevin went above and beyond to help me and my family. The case kept on getting rescheduled and he did not charge any extra. At the time my ex was holding my daughter from me, harassing my wife and I,a...nd was trying To get more money a week for child support that we were already struggling to pay..keep in mind I have my daughter the same if not more days than my ex. Long story short Kevin camE in the court room yelling at my ex's lawyer to not to talk to and to quit harassing his client! Even after all the lies and whining my ex and her lawyer tried to pull, and 4 court dates later my child support got lowered, my ex harassing phone calls , and her trying to hold my daughter all stopped.... our lives have been so peaceful And more enjoyable since Kevin took care of this... I don't understand the bad reviews on here, but Kevin is a great man and did what no other lawyer would do for me..

I don't know even where to start. I hired him in June of 2013, paid him $1200 when I had no job and was broke raising 4 kids on my own. Every time I would ask him if he has filed anything at court, he would never respond. His anwers were always vague and it would take him forever to respond. I mai...led him all of the financial proof he needed and he never responded if he received it after I asked him several times. It took me a very long time to gather all of that information and all for nothing. I had no job for a long time because I was a stay at home mother for 4 years and I told him that I was desperately looking for a job to feed my children. I told him that I needed the child support enforced immediately. He never did that and I was told by other attorneys that that is the first hing they do. With my first divorce, my childsupport was in place after two weeks of seperation and he I am almost a year and still no child support in place. This is so upsetting and sad. I told him that he has not a good lawyer and it seemed not to matter to him. I told him that I was concerned about his practice, and not once he showed that he cared about our lawyer relationship. He would tell me that he couldn't reach the other atty. Everything was a bunch of lies. To this day, he never ever sent me a copy of anything that he submitted to court if he submitted anything to court. Now my trial is in two weeks and I don't know squat. I'm so upset .. I am going to sue this attorney and I'm glad he is no longer practicing.

I used Kevin in 2010 for a Divorce case he was very attentive and acted on my request in a timely matter; however, I decided not to go through with it. In February of 2013 I contacted Kevin for the same reason and he not only remembered who I was but knew the situation surrounding my circumstances..., now that is a great lawyer. This case was going to be complicated as my husband was suing me for custody of my children and tried to get dirt on me; if that wasn't enough Kevin was up against Jimmy Philips who rarely loses in Brazoria County. However, Kevin was AWESOME at the hearing, he knows his stuff and will stand up and object when there is BS coming from the other side. At the end of the day, I won custody of my children and my spouse had to pay child support. He went up against a very high dollar attorney and WON!!!! That just goes to show that it is not the money that wins you the case it's the ATTORNEY who has the knowledge! YEAH, Kevin.

Hired Kevin Prendergast to modify child support. Met him downtown and gave him a retainer of $ 2500. Later that day i told him to put it on a different credit card. He said he had already run the card. He said he would run my new card and credit back my old. He ran my new card but never credited back... the other one. At the first meeting he said he would file by that Friday. Over the next two week i kept trying to contact him to find out the status of my case as well as get my money credited back. He would not return calls or answer emails. After 2 weeks my ex served me with papers instead. He had never filed. on my behalf. After that i sent him an email telling him i no longer wanted him as a lawyer. He didn;t respond until the next day telling me he had answer her filing and that he didn't think we should work together anymore. I have requested several times a copy of our contract, a statement of the work done and a refund of remaining funds. He has not responded. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the state bar.This whole experience has been a nightmare. How many people have to go through the same experience until the state takes his license away?
