Karen Loys Baylor

I hired Karen here in fort worth to do my divorce and everytime I call the girls answered the phone and I left messages and my phone call was always return back by her or her assistance. A very detailed woman who knew everything about the people in the courts and who they were and how it all works.s...he was straightforward with me and didn't cut corners and tell me everything like it is no she did not sugar coat nothing and I really appreciated that I want to recommend her to everybody I know

Nobody at the office of Marx, Altman and Johnson will return calls. The girl who answers the phone says there is nobody in authority to speak to. It took Karen Baylor from July 2012 to December 2012 to get the original paperwork and injunction signed even though she gave the respondent a 10 day notic...e in July. Since she did't follow-through the first time the Judge made her give him a 10 day notice a second time in December. Her paperwork was incomplete unprofessional scribbled out hand written notes taken during a meeting that she actually faxed to the opposing attorney as an offer. When I complained and wrote a bad review on YELP she filed a motion to withdraw from my case. When I asked for my money back her boss, Crystal Sieber, took my case. According to the receptionist there was no boss but she must have been mistaken. Eventually I fired her but that is a separate review. I ended up representing myself in a contested divorce even though they drug the case out for a year and kept my money. I want to say BUYER BEWARE!

This attorney is about as unprofessional as they come. I am very surprised she still has a license to practice. She nor her office will return phone calls and complete final papers when promised. Has a divorce pending final papers being typed up, delivered and filed with the courts. The judge in... the matter signed off on the agreements for finalization on 9/19/2012 and not a paper has been seen despite repeated attempts to contact her. If you have any sense at all, you will NOT use her services!!!!!

I've used Karen on about 5 different issues since my divorce in 1999. All regarding different custody issues and support levels. In every situation, she kept me apprised of what was going on and also made sure I understood what was happening. A different (also excellent) attorney handled my divorc...e, but I found Karen to be much more reasonable that my original attorney. On top of that, she does not beat around the bush and tells you exactly what to expect. She has years of experience dealing with the various judges and understands how to get her point across without upsetting the judge. Getting in touch with any top quality attorney is not easy. I have had friends who got very upset when their attorneys did not immediately return phone calls, but considering that attorneys do spend much of their day in court, and then have to handle preparation for cases on 'their own time' (taking it away from their families and kids) I think Karen in much more available than most. When you're going through a traumatic time, and anything in family law is exactly that...traumatic, you want immediate response to your questions. That's the hardest thing for clients to remember. I first hired Karen in/about 2003 and she never let me down. And, since her firm is not a 'by the hour' firm, but a flat fee firm, you don't get nickeled and dimed to death. And you still get excellent representation.
