Stay away from this attorney.

Mr. Pool was my attorney when I divided my wife for infidelity in 2012. He did not bother to notice that if she retired from her job after 20 years, she received $1 million. I'm 100% disabled, paid her way through law school and the best he got was a small portion of her 401(k). She retained the... disability exemption on the house she got valued at $750,000. My house was my personal property and Value at $70,000 I likes to rest on the laurels of a few big cases that he has won, but he absolutely does not have his clients interest in mind. BTW RB was her attorneys mentor. I was broke and emotionally recked. DO NOT GIVE THID MAN THE TIME OF DAY!

If you want results- this is your guy.

I would trust RB Poole with my life, literally. I have used him for two custody cases and sought his consultation on a third that was out of his work area. He may be expensive, but he makes up that in conciseness. You are in and out, no prolonged litigations and no multiple court appointments. He kno...ws his case and he expects you to do your part to help him help you. He understands his angle and he expects you to stay on the page. He cuts to the chase- no beating around the bush. When you go in for consult, he cites the law books from by heart and gives you the truth about your case. He wastes no time and he doesn't want you wasting his. Stay on-point and keep your story relative to the case at hand. While you may find him serious and curt, you will not find him wasting your dollars on long conversations and playing games with a mealy-mouthed, skirting of issues with the judge. If you want a smart lawyer with experience and guts (I would say balls but I'm a damn lady,) AND you can handle the harsh reality of your situation, RB will get you what you need. His job is not to be your best friend-- his job is to win justice and by God, he does.

Best Attorney in Dallas!

Honest, fair, not a penny pincher! RB was our custody attorney for years and never let us down or lost in court. He is straightforward, highly respected, and easy to get ahold of. His staff is amazing as well. I highly recommend him!

Money Is the Apple of His Eye

Worst decision I made during my divorce was to hire a man that only cares about money. He says he cares for you, but not once did he call a meeting or call me during a six month time frame. Then he decided to withdrawl from my case because of a lack of communication. He just wanted the divorce to dra...g on and cost more money. I told him numerous times that I agreed with the decree and I just wanted the divorce done. After spending almost $2700 I had to get a new lawyer to do what he should have done if he had any integrity at all.

I would give him zero stars if I could.

He doesn't return calls. Several times I called him and he literally hung up on me. I was referred to him by another attorney and I regret ever hiring him. In my custody case I got nothing I wanted. He failed to explain important precedings to me and was rude when I asked for clarifications about the...m. I regret hiring him.
