World Class Attorney

Bhyllie did an amazing job on my divorce that included a minor child. She gave me great advice and explained in great detail exactly what I could expect throughout the ordeal. She is knowledgeable regarding legal matters and easy to build a rapport with. I felt like I was well represented in cour...t. I would highly recommend her to anyone in my situation.

Bhyllie has been the most amazing lawyer I could ever ask for. She has gone over and beyond her call of dusty for me and my girls. She has always had me prepared for all my court hearing. I proud to not only call her my attorney but also a friend. If you are looking for an amazing attorney look to fu...rther then Bhyllie Mouton.

Bhyllie was great and she went above and beyond! The quick responses and contestant communication that she provided us was wonderful. Her level of professionalism was more than most that I have seen in the past. I would recommend her to anyone in need of legal counsel. I feel as though she did wa...y more that what she had to do for us.

Excellent and exceptional legal representation

A smart, experienced and caring attorney! Gave me great advise and guided me through the divorce process. Was well prepared for the hearing in my case and very well spoken in the courtroom!

Untrustworthy

I am writing this to give a completely honest review of my experience with Mouton & Mouton Law firm. I hired them to handle my divorce case. Basically they treated me like I was an advisory not a client. They treated me like they were going up against me, not trying to help me. I could never get in... touch with Bhyllie, she pushed me off on her brother but he did not have time for me. We had a court date scheduled and they didn’t even know about it. I had to call several times to let them know about it. Finally the receptionist got the message to Bhyllie the day before the court date. The date had to be pushed back because they had done nothing on my case yet. I got the impression that they are way too busy to take on more clients. They should have told me this up front and not have taken my case. I gave them a $5,400 retainer and they did very little. As it turns out, we decided not to go trough with the divorce. I asked them to return some of my retainer but they said no, that I owed them more money if she gave me an itemized bill. Bhyllie claimed that the $5,400 was a flat fee that was charged to complete my case. I was not told this up front, I assumed it was a true “retainer” that would be drafted as my case proceeded. They did not have me sign any contract that explained the flat fee to initiate my case. Bhyllie then told me that “I don’t meet with Ex-clients who think we have done nothing.” She did offer to give me an itemized bill which would show that my “retainer” was used up. If you want a good attorney use Phil Kobetz. He will be very upfront about the charges and is one of the best attorneys in Lafayette.

"I do not like to endorse anyone, because it is a responsibility that I take seriously. But in this case I am honored to do that. Bhyllie and Shane are simply outstanding. It takes more than knowledge of the law to be a great lawyer. It also takes integrity, and honesty. Bhyllie and Shane are the the kind of lawyers I am proud of."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
