Not helpful- too expensive for services received

I do not believe Demaris cared enough about my case, and I should have gotten another attorney but could not afford one. After going back to court again and paying more fees I would have been better off going alone. Lack of preparation and helpful advice have put me in a bad spot. Every dime I had we...nt to her, and I received nothing in return, except another bill.

Didn't fill out paper work that she charged for, and that was just the start.

She didn't fill out paper work that she charged for. Ignored evidence and credible witness that would have helped the case. We ended up having to go get a different lawyer who informed us that we were over charged. Please stay away from this woman.

I am unaware of any case I have handled in which I or my staff did not fill out paperwork as required, and I do not recall ever ignoring evidence or credible witnesses. If you never made these complaints directly to us, please do, so we can better serve our clients in the future. I apologize for any shortcomings in your service from us, as my goal is to help all of my clients through a difficult time.

First Class

During my divorce I was blessed to have Demaris Hart represent me. She was extremely knowledgeable and advised me with confidence. Demaris was the bright spot in my divorce. She was also very kind and considerate in dealing with me and my situation. I have recommended her to many others since goi...ng through the divorce. In my opinion, she is the most qualified divorce attorney in Northeast Texas. If you want to be represented by an attorney that knows the law front to back, then Demaris Hart is the obvious choice.

Excellent Attorney!

Demaris Hart has helped me with a child custody case for the past 7 years. Mrs Hart's confidence, understanding and professional deameanor has given me assurance and kept things in perspective. I would recommend Demaris for all your family law issues.

Do not recommend

Did not file all the paper work that she was paid to do, filed the paperwork in the wrong county and did not fix it, never could get my name right, and kept getting the cases mixed up. I really don't know if it was deliberate or not, but with basic things like, filing all the paper work with the righ...t people, and giving in when she had a large stack (really a stack) of evidence plus multiple creditable witness (she used none of it), it makes me just really curious as to her reasoning for everything, she seemed like a nice person. Had to come back later with a new attorney, and now everything is good
