Worst Decision I Made Was Hiring Attorney Fowler as My Divorce Lawyer

I regret choosing Attorney Fowler to represent my divorce case. Most of my calls were only answered by a paralegal, who repeatedly said the attorney would respond, but she never did. Despite this, I was billed $225 for unanswered calls. I was also charged $455 for an email response, even though th...e matter could have been resolved in a short phone call. When I asked for a billing explanation, I received no response for two months (from June 10th to August 25th). Eventually, I was refunded only $95, and even that check had my name spelled incorrectly. I don’t want to make public judgments about Attorney Fowler’s professional abilities in handling cases. However, this entire experience caused significant delays, wasted time and energy, and left me extremely frustrated. After waiting two months with no answers, I had to file a grievance with the Texas Bar and a fee dispute with the Dallas Bar. If you are considering hiring this attorney and want more details about my experience, feel free to contact me directly.

Wen, I regret that you were unhappy with the services provided by our firm, as as stated previously wish you success in your future endeavors. However, in fairness, you omitted a few details regarding our relationship which I provide below: Every time you called in, per your contract, you were charged .1 hours. You were told this and would call several times in a row, minutes apart in some cases. You were charged for my staff's time when you spoke to anyone other than me. If I was unavailable you were told and called anyway. You were never called unless you spoke to me or my office on the phone. Your $455 expense was for 10 emails of varying length, not for one. As to the spelling of your name, it is spelled just like on your intake form which you prepared, only I used the diminutive "Wen" as you did in your review. Your query was responded to in writing in 20 days , after a review of your billing was done using the actual emails and phone records (which I had to obtain from my provider)to compile. The delay in your receiving the bill was due to the U.S. Postal Service; it was sent 6/30 with an estimated delivery date (holiday) of 7/7. As of 7/17 when USPS stopped sending updates, it was floating around Brooklyn. Additionally, the refund was issued despite the fact that the review showed that I had actually shorted the original billing in your favor. Divorce can be quite frustrating in any case, but especially when you are living in another state. I am glad that you found good replacement counsel; sometimes the facts are best heard from a different voice. Thank you for taking the time to voice your feelings, I respect your position in this matter as I hope you respect mine, even though they differ. Again I regret that we were unable to complete your legal matter for you, but remain hopefully that your matter is resolved successfully. JF

A refreshing change in legal attitudes

Jane Fowler handled the final settlements of a will/estate, and was a blast to work with. She brings a sense of common sense to the legal world that all too many lawyers over look. She has personality and passion and understands nothing previously done is ever totally by the book. When there was a... missing clause in the will we were putting thru probate, she found all the undotted I's and uncrossed T's, and was able to fix them (legally of course) before the court could ask why they were not done. In other words, she came to court truly prepared. When it came to teaching us what needed to be done to make things run smoothly, she was clear and concise, and spent just the amount of time (and our money) telling us what was needed. She didn't simply pad her schedule to increase her billable hours. In court, She has shown fantastic talent in getting the court to work with her, seeming like she has established a good reputation with the judge as well as their staff (the people who actually make things happen). Our day in court when smooth, without a hitch, and I credit her for knowing the answers to the questions the judge asked, without ever looking like she was searching for the answer, or surprised by the question. In short, she is far from the stuffy 'suit' that most lawyers become, or who feel like their doing you a favor to take you money. Instead, she tells you from the start how she is going to earn your money, and then sets out and does what she says. If your expecting someone to blow sunshine, or make you feel like your right, when your not, this is not the attorney you want. Rather, she is the type to tell you that you screwed up, if you did in fact do so and then bend over backwards to see you get treated fairly.

A caring Attorney

She did not hesitate to help with our case. She was thorough and knows our case like the back of her hand. She answers our calls and emails in a very fast and timely fashion.

The best

If you want an attorney who is sharp and fair, then Attorney Jane Fowler is the person you need to hire. She is down to earth and a) listens keenly to your issues, and b) gets the precise information needed in order to proceed in your case. She took care of all aspects of my divorce case so that I ...can focus on my daily activities. Her price is fair and exhibits a very high level of professionalism. I am so pleased with her diligence in taking on my case. I intend to take it a step further and retain her as my attorney for other issues. Thanks Atty Jane Fowler - you are the best in knowing the law!

Amazing and knowledgeable attorney

Jane handled my million divorce questions and was extremely prompt in doing so. Pricing was very fair and affordable. My divorce was completely hassle free and she thoroughly explained the entire process to me as we went along through it. I never felt confused or had to question a thing. Will be usi...ng her for sure in the future should I have a legal need arise.
