Very Professional

This firm handled my divorce very professional during the Covid pandemic, they stood stern and didn't let the other side run the show, all the way to the finale day If I didn't understand something they took the time to explain the legal terms and what it meant in layman's terms I always felt stronge...r then my spouse attorney. And always felt like I had the best firm in the metroplex

Highly recommended

Samantha and Justin are an incredible team! I have found them to be honest, fair and sincere in helping solve the issues related to a bitter divorce. I feel heard. I feel important to them. I don't feel they are trying to bill me with unnecessary hours. They are incredibly prompt when returning phone... calls or emails. I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed.

Bad Hiring Decision

I made the decision to hire Sisemore Law Firm in late April 2020 based on a performance-based referral for Justin Sisemore personally. I am devastated and heartbroken to say that it ended up being a really bad decision for myself and my baby boy. My ex-fiancé and I separated in April 2020. Due t...o a rough separation and a lot of hostility, I hired Justin Sisemore to protect myself and my new born baby. I was afraid that my ex could take the baby from me at any point so I needed temporary orders set immediately. I also needed child support to be ordered as I was not working due to my newborn and COVID had just started. I had very limited resources and was able to come up with the funds to pay the retainer fee. A couple of months later, I was kept growing anxious as things were being delayed, counsel kept believing the opposing side instead of me, temporary orders were not set (and my ex kept reminding me that he could take the baby at any point), it was hard to communicate with the counsel as they were working from home and did not have direct numbers to reach them and Justin Sisemore had issued my case to an associate attorney. The associate attorney’s admin rarely had answers and the associate attorney was always busy. All in all, $17,000 later, temporary orders were just being finalized. We had not even got to mediation or scheduling the final trial. Again, this is not a divorce case. I simply needed a custody schedule worked out and child support established. After receiving a bill(for $4,200 plus and an additional request for $1,500 for trust account funding) 3 weeks after I had just payed an additional $3,500(which I thought would get us through the temporary hearing), I withdrew from Sisemore Law Firm Services as I was getting more in debt than being helped with the extremely high and unreasonable costs of Sisemore Law Firm. Almost 5 Months after hiring Sisemore Law Firm, my bill is $17K and the only thing accomplished was getting through the temporary hearing which established custody schedule and child support for the next 3 months. Again, my ex and I were not married so formal divorce complications did not exist. Now, I need assistance to continue the process but have completely run out of financial resources. I thought being left by the man whom I’ve loved for years with a newborn baby was the worst thing but it turns out that.. Being left by the partner that I loved for years with a newborn baby and now, $17,000 in attorney fees with no permanent results, and in much financial distress is much worse. I do not wish this upon any single mama(or dad).

Stay away from this man

I hired him for a modification and the only thing he did was billed me for miscellaneous things! I can't get into detail because I'm still dealing with the matter (with new lawyer) but I highly suggest you DONOT retain this lawyer or anyone in his office or you will get screwed! "Take the deal or giv...e me another 10,000" is what I was told by Justin so you figure out the rest!!

It is important for anyone reading these reviews, both positive and negative, to understand that there are many varying factors to be considered. You must have faith in your attorney at all times and even while this particular client has made some blatantly false statements, I wish them the best. I have represented thousands of happy clients and I take even 1 negative review VERY SERIOUSLY. I will always itemize and go over any billing questions a client may have FREE OF CHARGE, and any litigant should be aware that litigation especially if a case goes to trial with our degree of preparation can be costly. In some instances litigation costs could certainly exceed $10,000.00; however the choice to settle any case is ALWAYS up to the client. We will carefully examine whether any settlement is in the client's best interest and look forward to your business. Very truly yours, Justin J. Sisemore

Private family matter

Justin and his staff in the office were very professional in the handling of my case. I'm specificially happy about how he and his staff treated the other participant in the case, that was a big factor in my case. Robin was very quick to get me the answers I needed if Justin or Sam were not reachable.... Thank you Sizemore Law Firm!!-
