Jesse Munguia

We have used Jesse over the last 8 years for different issues with a custody. Not all went our way but he was always up front with the different options that could take place. He is fair on price and fights for his client. Amanda is get in assisting you understand what is going on and how the outcome... works. I would highly recommend Munguia Law Firm. Jesse and Amanda are awesome.

The Best Lawyer in Texas!

Tenacious, Brilliant, & Relentless are the words I would use to best describe Attorney Jesse Munguia. Jesse was recommended to me by another attorney not only because he is a great lawyer but because Jesse is also knowledgeable, and affordable too. The Munguia Law firm offers divorce and child cust...ody services. When I was ready to give up, Jesse came to my rescue and would not fold to the faulty tactics used by my X husband’s lawyer. Not only did I retain custody of my daughter but Jesse was also able to get my child support arrears paid in full! The Munguia Law Firm also has an incredible staff. Amanda kept me updated on all the changes and important dates. This law firm helped me get my life back. Thank You so much Jesse and team!

The Best in The County

Finding a Lawyer to represent you can be hard, scary and super expensive. When I went to The Munguia Law Firm I was needing a new lawyer in Ellis county to represent me in a modification of custody that my ex started in Bell County. In the previous county I had already spent 8500 on a high price, wid...ely known lawyer and only got a transfer in counties successfully done. My ex-husband had accused me from drug use, family violence, to child abuse and almost any and everything in between. When I met with Jessie I had not seen my son in 4 months I could hardly explain my situation I was so distraught. He listened very closely he quote me a retainer fee that was more than generously low compared to the $350 and hour attorney I had. He even took payments for that. The whole office was always nice and polite they answer my questions, they contacted me back in a reasonable amount of time they never got annoyed or frustrated. And they always knew who I was when I called, they never make you feel like a guest they treat you like family. Ultimately in one court date Mr. Jesse Munguia was able to get modification denied, abatement of child support denied, the ex lost this summer visitation. Considering that my case was looking considerably grave i.e. lose of custody, loss of visitation, public records of abuse allegations along with drug use accusations (could affect my employment), owing child support, excessive bills for numerous things requested in modification. It was a pure blessing to have been defended and found inculpable in the assertions made in the request for custody modification. Jessie and his Firm presented nothing less than honesty, fairness, and transparency; they were knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I recommend them to everyone and will continue to go to them for my legal needs.

Love them all!!

I came to the Munguia law firm to see if they could help my son and me because the court papers that we currently had were not capable of protecting us from the situations that had been occurring with the coparent. I was truly in fear for our lives. I met with Amanda for the first consultation. She w...as unbelievably understanding and concerned about us. She explained the process to me and about what they could provide us and how they could help. She was so sweet and so I hired them that day. Amanda told me to send them any documentation that I had that would support our situation. I had 2 years of texts, video recordings, and voice recordings that I had sent them. There was so much that they would have to sort through! I was worried, based off of previous lawyers that I had, that all the things that I had sent them would be overwhelming and they wouldn't go through it all and that all my efforts in the past 2 years would have been unknown to the judge. The morning of my court date came and I met Jesse in front of the court room. He had gone through every text, printed them out, and labeled them according to each specific incident. He had all the voice recordings ready to be heard and every video recording ready to be viewed! My eyes watered when I saw that there was so much effort and true care put into my son and my situation. Before I met Jesse and Amanda, I had gone to multiple police stations, lawyers, and courts trying to get help and my voice was never heard. I truly thought that we would have to be hurt before the courts were capable of helping us. Jesse was able to get us the protection we needed and he helped us to be able to go back to a somewhat normal life. I am so lucky that I came across the Munguia Law Firm and was helped by them!! I would recommend them to anyone. They care about their clients and it definitely showed to me.

Awesome is all I can say

I was a little scared to come into a custody battle. With Jesse and his office on my side I knew I was in good hands. He made sure I got everything I wanted. !!
