Fantastic attorney!

This was my first time ever needing to have a lawyer and it was the best experience I could've asked for. From beginning to end Sharon was there to answer my questions. Sharon, is a fantastic attorney as she helped me get everything I wanted throughout the process. As a foreigner, she made me feel s...upported and not alone. She was so supportive and caring during this stressful process.

Excellent, Reliable and Professional Firm

I couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided by this firm. When I needed help with my child custody problem I asked around for referals and Easley and Marquis were always the number one firm recommended, even by other firms I spoke to. I have used other attorneys in the past for the same is...sues I had now and they really did nothing to help me, they got paid and then relaxed and did very little and many things got done incorrectly. I decided this time to spend just a small amount more money and hire the best attorney I could find in the Collin County area and that was Sharon Easley. I am very, very happy with that decision. Everything has been handled with professionalism, sensitivity and efficiency. Sharon's whole staff is very capable and whenever appropriate Sharon would use a Junior Attorney to work on the case keep the fees down. If you want something done right and it is something important to you I would suggest going with the best. Why risk using anything less when you need results? And I will tell you that hiring the best is not necessarily more expensive because you will have your issue handled one time with no mistakes and not have to go back and correct later. Some of the things that stood out to me was that Sharon would answer her phone or emails immediately on weekends, evenings and even when she was on vacation. And you may as well face the facts, most issues you encounter while going through this process don't happen Monday-Friday from 9-5. Most of my issues would happen on a Friday night or over the weekend and Sharon ALWAYS took my call-that was important to me. Other attorneys I have hired in the past would not ever consider working on a case outside of buisness hours and it always seems you get served with papers on a Friday evening. Now you would have to wait until Monday or even Tuesday for most attorneys to get back to you. With Easley and Marquis I was always in contact with someone within a couple of hours and everything would be explained to me and I could enjoy the rest of my weekend and not be a nervous wreck the whole weekend. Another thing that stood out to me was that if I needed advice or anything from Sharon while she was in court on another case, her assistant could always contact her and would get back to me with an answer usually within a couple of hours. I think that if you need help with a serious child custody issue you should definately call Easley and Marquis to discuss your issue. I can tell you that they are accomodating and always have the childs best interest in focus. I have never been mislead, in fact I was told everything that was going to happen and it was almost always exactly as they predicted. I was pretty much at ease during the whole proceeding because I had been prepared for what was going to happen. Did this case cost me a lot of money? Yes. However, being on the losing end also cost a lot of money. The silver lining was that one of my children ran up and gave Sharon a hug after the ruling and both of my children have told me "thank you" for what I did to get them out of their former home with their mother and back home with me. That is worth any amount of money. I know it is scary starting this type of battle, I just went through it. All I can tell you is to do what you think is best for the kids. I did it, and I live across the country and Sharon gave me my children back. My kids are now happy and loving and thankful that I did what I did by hiring Sharon Easley. Good Luck, and please don't use your children as "tools/pawns" to get what you want, just do what is best for the kids.
