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).

My Grandparent Rights

I met Justin in February of 2012. I had looked him up in the YP and I knew God had sent me to him. The first meeting was just to see if he thought we had a case and 2 weeks later we felt he was our only hope of winning visitation with our then 12 year old twin grandsons. He was always very honest ...from the beginning, sometimes he hit nerves that I didn't like, but after he explained the "why" it was what he was doing. Giving me all options on things I either needed to let go or to do for the good of my case. There was a lot of crying and there was challenges to learn. Our first victory was supervised visits at the mothers house once every other week to see them for three hours. That ended on June 9, 2012. I ask the mother can we continue this arrangement or do we go to our lawyers. The boys became up set and the mother and I told them no it was fine and I left knowing that would be the last time I would see them until we took it to court and the judge made his decision. I could not talk to them on the phone, I couldn't go to school activities and that Christmas I drove by their house only to see a deserted house. It took me several months to discover she had bought a house in the same area but no change of address to our lawyer. After several no shows and mail being returned undeliverable in June of 2013 we found out she had picked up her kids and moved. She changed her email, phone numbers, the boys phones and disappeared , she disguised herself as several different names and not only her but the boys. We proved that her whole family helped her disappear to myself. Justin didn't give up, he worked and finally she was ordered to show up or accept the obvious. That day in court, June of this year, he won what we had been fighting for, just to see our boys who are now 15. I praise God for sending us to Justin's office. I highly recommend his services and he is still working with me if we ever need his services again. I believe he should get recognition for winning this case and so much more. I never knew that Texas did not have any grand parent rights and Justin warned us from the beginning. He knew my son, the twins father, had passed away Janurary 14, 2012 due to diabetes and he was the most professional lawyer and yet he was hard where he needed to be and comforting at the same time. My oldest son and I on first impression, loved the fact that he was so confident and could tell he was a fighter for justice and his clients. He is good and I can't say enough good things about him. He has become my families HERO, and I will always appreciate the job he did for us. Thank you, Barbara

BEST FREAKING ATTORNEY ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH

My title says it all. This man will fight to the bitter end to get the results you want. My son was going through a bitter divorce/custody battle. Justin not only got full, sole custody of my son's daughter, but the ex has to pay child support, only has limited, supervised visits under the supervisio...n of the family court, and did so with the ferociousness necessary of a top rated attorney. He is worth every penny to get the results you want.

exceeded our expectations!!

My son hired Mr. Sisemore to modify custody orders involving his son, our grandson. My husband and I were very involved in the case and on many occasions spoke with Mr. Sisemore and his team of talented assistance. It was a very complex case which involved abuse to my grandson by his mother and her ...boyfriend. The protection of my grandson had to be taken very seriously. If you could imagine the fear my son had in putting his trust in anyone concerning the protection of his child. As grandparents, the fear of our grandson's well being was of the utmost importance. Mr. Sisemore was not only concerned and compassionate to our situation he acted immediately in securing his safety. Mr. Sisemore is a very knowledgeable and talented attorney and I can see why he is admired and respected amongst his peers. This case was recently resolved and the outcome exceeded our expectations. We NEVER have to worry about harm being inflicted on our grandson at the hands of his mother or her boyfriend again. We all can sleep at night for the first time in a very long time, praise God! Mr. Sisemore has proved not only to be aggressive and talented in his profession, but, morally aligned in character. If you're in a position that requires you to hire an attorney, you're more than likely in a stressful situation. Do yourself a favor and have Mr. Sisemore represent you. Our family is so grateful that God directed our son to him.
