Fantastic attorney and staff

Mr. Delk has assisted me on numerous cases in numerous areas of the law. He fought hard for me and helped me win custody of my daughter. He helped me gain a favorable outcome on a personal injury case as well. He and his staff kept me up to date on the progress of my case every step of the way. I hig...hly recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance; he will fight hard and diligently represent you in your case.

Former client

Hired Mr Delk for a illegal lockout case, he said it would be no problem. Long story 3 years later and nothing being done he quit. I wish I had checked him out before hand. Worst experience ever.

Unprofessional, discourteous, rude

I was assigned this person when I retained the Imhoff and Associates law firm to help with a case involving my son. I retained the firm in September 2010. Mr. Delk was assigned to the case on 9/13. Spoke with him the first time on 9/14. My son had been incarcerated since 2/5/10 and I was eager to ...get this taken care of. The town in Texas where he was only heard his type of cases through the end of October and didn't reconvene until the following year. I spent the next 6 months calling and leaving messages. I'd get him on the phone only to be rushed off because he was busy. He promised many times to call me back but did not. I would call and set up a phone consultation with him only to be forgotten. My son, who was his actual client, met him 3 times; the first time to introduce himself, the 2nd time at my insistence and the 3rd time at court. I have been told that I would have gotten the same level of service from the court appointed attorney and would have saved myself literally thousands of dollars. When this finally got to court, he was late enough to court for the sheriff's office to call me. I have never had someone in this sort of profession that completely disregarded my feelings, ignored my questions and his own client, told me things that turned out to be untrue, and was disrespectful enough to be late to court, the last thing he had to do with this case. I will never want anyone else to have to go through this sort of trauma.

I have never had such a terrible experience!

I went to John Delk for a relatively simple, uncontested divorce....which he managed to completely mangle for me! First off , he took my money and then dodged my phone calls and did ZERO on my case for about 4 months. I had to call another attorney, who in turn called him to find out what the proble...m was before he would even acknowledge that I was his client. Finally he scheduled a meeting with me and took all my info, and told me he'd get right on it. Then, when finally took some action on my case, ANOTHER SEVERAL MONTHS LATER..... he filed paperwork with the wrong information, which led my ex to believe that I was trying to cheat her out of child support, and in turn she obtained a lawyer and the whole process began to unravel. After receiving their response, he corrected his paperwork and refiled, and dodged my calls for another 3 months or so. Finally, after about 15 months, we got to court, everything settled, all that remained was my ex had to take a children in divorce seminar before the judge would sign off, which was done the following week. About 2 months later, Delk calls me to come sign my papers.....this stuff still hasn't gone to the judge for a signature yet. I still don't know if I am legally divorced or not, and i can not get in touch with him to find out, because he will not return my calls! Through 17 months, he required more and more money to continue. This man is a sheister and a crook and should not be allowed to practice any kind of law, anywhere!!!!
