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!!-

WOW!!

Justin Sisemore is an amazing and gifted attorney. He is doing what he was born to do. He just took me through a very difficult divorce with an extremely contentious ex husband. During the year and a half leading up to the final trial there were many situations that required Justin to be prepa...red and ready to fight for me. The opposing council was an arrogant and pompous attorney that Justin had no problem staying ahead of. Watching him battle against this man was in itself gratifying as I was able to see a huge display of his skill level and professionalism. I was so proud of him and so were my friends and family who came to support me. I am an older lady and though no one wants or plans to have divorce happen in their lives, for someone my age it is especially scary. Prior to the final trial Justin prepared me as my own son would have by being as tough with me as he could be. I sometimes thought I wouldn't get through it but as it turned out I was prepared, which was always his main goal. There was a pre-nuptial agreement and the opposing council was as ferocious and obnoxious as they come but Justin's way of handling him was a joy to experience. Justin is a fighter but in a good way. He is smart and savvy with a great deal of passion, and I am so glad he was not the attorney working for my ex husband! He was an answer to prayer. He fought for me to keep my home and got me a decent amount of spousal maintenance, which from my understanding is challenging to get in the state of Texas. If you want a winner and someone who is on top of his game when it counts the most then you want Justin. His firm was always courteous and Pam Wilder worked amazingly well along side him in the courtroom. They balance each other out with different strengths. I highly recommend the Sisemore Law Firm to anyone hoping to find the best. You will be in great hands!

Donna, I make it a habit to read every client review and reflect on how we can be better. I know I sometimes made you laugh, sometimes made you cry, sometimes made you worry, and sometimes gave you confidence; but it was you all along who was strong, who planned, who listened, and who succeeded. We truly love clients like you. You actually help motivate me and my team to be the best so we thank you. Very truly yours, Justin J. Sisemore

So Far So Good

I've recently retained Sisemore Law Firm and have absolutely nothing to complain about. Both Justin and Samantha are honest and up front with you. Sometimes they tell you things you don't want to hear but that is them doing their job. They do fight for you though. If you ask them to explain things fu...rther they do, they warn you if something will be expensive or if extra fees will occur, they are very responsive to emails or phone calls, and no matter how ridiculous a question or situation they are understanding and are willing to do their best to accommodate your requests or answer your question to the best of their ability. I had my consultation with Justin Sisemore, which was quick and to the point, I have also gone to my first hearing with them which concluded with positive results. He and Samantha are both very knowledgeable; in what they do and of the Tarrant County system. I so far recommend this law firm to anyone who needs a cut throat lawyer who keeps it real with you. I will try to update when my case is closed. Thank you to Justin and Samantha. I appreciate you both.
