Posted by Jennifer | September 09, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

DID NOTHING ON MY CASE

Would give 0 stars if I could. See email I sent to the law office below. I contacted the court to determine if a warrant was being issued for my arrest since the Jeff Eaves Law had done nothing on my case. This was for a simple speeding ticket, but Oscar Taylor @ Jeff Eaves, was telling me that they ...were dealing with a murder case in Wichita Falls, and taking care of a simple speeding ticket wasn’t on their priority list. It is a “courtesy to the community”, and since I wasn’t part of the “community” (from TX, but I received ticket as I was traveling through), and he seemed angry that I contacted the court to see if I had a warrant after not getting a response from Jeff Eaves Law on the status of my case, he then told me he’d give me a refund. I told them I’d still like to be represented, and I wouldn’t contact them again until I was coming back to the state. NO REFUND/NOTHING DONE ON MY CASE/RECEIVED LETTER FROM COURT STATING PAY MY SPEEDING FINE OR WARRANT BEING ISSUED IN 10 days. I reached out to the law office via email, and asked not to correspond with Oscar anymore because of how he’s handled my case thus far. Oscar emailed me in response, said he’s sending a refund, and left me to handle my case. The letter he wrote this time was in a nice tone. I have 2 days now to work with the court to “fix” my case so that I don’t receive a warrant. The $300 I paid has yet to be deposited in my account, but Oscar did send a “receipt of refund”. This could be because of bank processing times, but regardless, I could have used this to pay my ticket if it were in my account. PAID & HIRED on July 1. I sent the following email on SEP 5! I will be forwarding email correspondence I’ve had with Oscar. I called your office to follow up on July 15th for the speeding ticket I received on June 29th because I was afraid of a warrant being issued for my arrest for not responding in time. Your office was paid on July 1st to handle my speeding ticket, which is the same day that I initially corresponded with Oscar. On July 15th, Oscar informed me that he was in the middle of a murder trial, and a case like mine, to put in simple terms, isn’t important & since he’s an attorney, and the court “deadlines” are not important once an attorney is hired, and I shouldn’t have been concerned about a warrant. I told Oscar I would give him space/time to work on the murder trial, and I would follow up with him again in several weeks if I had not heard from him. I called again on Tuesday, September 2nd after he did not respond to my email from the previous week, because I haven’t received an update and am concerned about a warrant, and the receptionist took a message and said she’d give it to Oscar once he was out of his meeting. I have not received a call back from your office. Today, I received the attached letter from Archer County stating that if I do not pay my fine by September 12th, then a warrant would be issued for my arrest, and the State may impose additional fees and not allow me to renew my driver’s license. Please let me know what steps have been taken to resolve my case. I’ve also attached verification of payment and a record of call logs to your office. As previously stated, I will be forwarding all email correspondence and hope to receive a reply by someone other than Oscar since I have not had the best experience with him.

Rip Off

I had a custody TRO in WF while living out of state. I met Jeff the day before. My ex wanted to settle and there was no discussion on what our argument would be in court or why I shouldn't settle. I was just told I talk too much. He then got into a verbal altercation with the other party. I settled ...the issue the next day and Jeff billed me $12,000. All he cared about was winning and we didn't win since I settled. The fees were ridiculous.

Very impersonal

His assistant is very impersonal, I called for the free consultation and was set up for an appointment time at 10 am Monday morning. I was told to expect a call at 10 am, so I waited until 10:30 and called them because I still had not heard from them. I was then told very rudely that I missed the app...ointment time and if I could keep the appointment this time he will set it up for the afternoon. I then explained that I may have misheard him because I have terrible service on my phone and asked if I could come in person, then he very snidely told me he already informed me it would be $50 in person. I was never told that, so I told him I don't appreciate him insinuating that I am incompetent that this is VERY important to me. He replied by saying he tells everyone that. So he was arguing with me based on what he tells "everyone" he did not even remember who I was at all and was blaming me for the missed consultation. This is not a conversation I have 100 times a day, I remember very well what was said and how dare he treat me so rudely! I cannot rate the Mr. Eaves because I never spoke to him, but his hired help was very rude, and I would not recommend using them because you are not a person in their eyes you are just a number.

Replied last April 20, 2021

This person was never client, never hired me, missed her courtesy consultation and then called demanding, amongst other things, that we should adjust our schedule and she get her "free" appointment. After speaking with her we quickly realized she would not be a good fit as a client for the type of practice I have cultivated over the years. Consequently, we professionally and courteously declined to schedule her another appointment and the resulting negative review was posted by this person whom I have never met and cannot speak knowledgably as to my legal abilities.
