4 years later, I am suffering from the poor work... I hired Greg to assist me in a custody case because he seemed to be a great choice at the time. I paid the retainer, and hired him. His team went to work immediately, and I was surprised at the quickness at the beginning. Greg suffered a knee... injury and had to have surgery. While I understood this, the 'attorney' put in charge was billing to my case and completely dissolved the retainer. This would not have been an issue, except when I was called into meet and discuss the drafted court order it was entirely wrong. The order was for a marriage/divorce, which we were never married. The draft was entirely wrong, and did not hit key points discussed via email. A 10 page document was created by myself containing incriminating evidence of the mother. This was not brought into court, and a review on this website says they brought it to their case.... I was adamant about my son's name, being I wanted him to have my last name. They left the mother's maiden name on there, but assured me it was two middle names and NOT two last names because it was not hyphenated. Now I am having to jump through hoops because the state of Texas is saying my son has two last names.... They mediated and took the mother's side with his name, and I footed the bill. Mediation was 25% the cost I paid... They never finished the name change, so I am having to do it myself.

I filed a case at the beginning of 2018 for a modification in custody of my daughter with Kendall Getz who worked at this firm. She did an acceptable job, but retired mid-way through my case after about 6-8 months working on it. Then it was passed to an attorney named Desiree, who worked on it for ma...ybe a couple of weeks, she quit, then finally taken over my Mr. Housewirth. Communication was awful, I couldn't get strait answers as to what was taking so long, or why I kept being billed with nothing moving forward. All and all i payed $8,822 before ever having a trial. That was for 1 hearing with Kendall, and a mediation. When the final trial date was approaching, I was given a time to be at court, I had to fly in for it since I was working out of town. Somewhere in Greg's office, the time that court was going to start was wrong, causing us all to miss it, and me having to fly back to town the following week for the last court date. I was out of pocket for 2 round trip flight and 2 days work, Greg refunded me $1000, then didn't send another bill for the final hearing. At the hearing, I had about 8 witnesses show up that were sent via Clio (their messaging software) 1 year prior to the court date. Not a single witness was listed in discovery, so they had to sit out in the hall and were not able to testify in my case. People that could have made a huge difference in my case, left unable to testify. Also there was about 400 pages of text messages that I also sent via Clio, as well as printed out copies I had delivered with tabs on each page marking what is pertinent to the case, guess what, these were not entered into discovery either and they didn't even know where they were. The day of court, Greg brought out about 10 pages of text not related to anything with the case. The big kicker here is the child support aspect. I'm a 1099 contractor. I have expenses to operate my company that come out of that income. My 1099 is quite a bit away from my actual income. Instead of sending in my tax return showing my actual income from my company, they sent in my 1099 by itself. Child support was figured right under the state max at an amount I can't afford and will have to spend more money with another attorney to go back with the proper documents that should have been submitted in the first place. All this to say, if you want to throw away money to not have your case presented with all the evidence/witnesses you provided them, this is the place to go. I've never been involved with such an incompetent law firm in my entire life. I'm now faced with the decision to pay a support I can't afford for any amount of time, or pay an attorney to file for a re-trial. Either way it's thousands of dollars more out of my pocket. The only positive that came from any of this was a schedule with visits for my child.

Holly and Greg is definitely the ones you should go to for any CPS related cases! They have good relation within the cps department and just made the whole process easy for my family. My case just closed December 2014, and I now have primary custody of my niece. Heres my story...my niece was take...n away by cps with a court order December 2013. Now keep in mind all this happen during the big holiday seasons of christmas and new years and you should know it can be hard to get in contact with cps since they could either be closed or on vacation or just not wanting to answer any phonecalls. I set up a consultation appt and gave my story to Greg and we actually met on a Saturday which was most convenient for me. And because my cps case was primary within dallas county, he handed me over to Holly. At first I was unsure about it since I did my research and only knew how great Greg was but it turns out Holly was the BEST! So we met on a saturday and the same following Monday (which was christmas week), Holly quickly jumped on it and worked on my case and was able to get in contact with cps and had everything set up. So my sister(mother of baby taken away) was scheduled for her visitation of the week but both parents was nowhere to be found. And I wanted to see my niece to ensure she is okay. I think there was a policy where you needed parent's permission to see child, however Holly did her magic and was able to get me a visitation without neither parents there with me. Cps was telling me that I will not be able to get my niece in my care until second court date, BUT guesss what Holly did? She had my niece returned with me the same first court date! As time go on waiting for the parents to complete their services in which was never done, Holly took care of everything. Holly knew every resource that cps would have to offer my baby niece while she is in my care. She made sure I was sign up for programs and even got me compensated by cps for the things needed to care for my baby niece. Holly is just knowledgable with these cases! Makes me wonder if she used to work for them. So as time went by and parents didn't finish their services, she worked it all out in my niece's best interest of staying in my primary custody. She had a mediation set up and even drafted out the agreement for all of us. Also there was this one moment where I was scared and nervous, and Holly got my full attention and says "you have to be strong for her!" Although she may not know it but those words was such a motivation for me to do what needed to be done. I had fears of not being able to take good care of my baby niece esp since I don't have kids and hardly have experience of taking care of infants. I played those words in my mind throughout the entire time and even to this day. As it turns out I am a natural at nurturing a child! Holly did so much for us and there is so much more I want to highlight but that would take forever. So if you have any specific question regarding my case, you can email me at pn_etc@yahoo.com. I am their living proof of how well Holly and Greg got my family together with my niece.
