Grand Parents Rights

My daughter passed away with COVID, I hired this firm because they said I had a case! I already filed all the documents with McLennan County and needed them to represent me at the final hearing and they charged me 6500 to put their name on my documents and use my evidence and used all the money to ch...ange my final hearing to a temporary hearing and never filed the paperwork! When they asked for an additional 4200 dollars to prepare my final hearing I fired them! I had set a final hearing date on December 15th 2023, thinking that I was finally going to get this resolved and that’s when the Judge explained to me Attorney Sykora never filed the temporary orders! So they took my money screwed up my chances on getting my granddaughter. I explained my family situation and they don’t care about family all they care about is money! Now the dad which abandoned her when she was a year old is trying to get her. This is why! I hired Pritchard law firm! When they quoted me the 6500 and pay 4000 down and the rest in payments! This is the agreement that attorney Limick, me and my husband agreed to! I want my money back because I feel the firm did not do anything!

Disappointed and taken advantage of

I hired this firm 1 week before Covid as a federal attorney for my son. The firm didn't get a chance to work on my son's behalf. The state decided without any influence from the firm to drop my case. The juvenile supervisor contacted me after informing the firm that the state decided my case was not... a felony 5-21-20. Firm never contacted me. 3 days later I began to call firm and was given run around for 2 weeks and was even sent a bill through mail which I never received before for remainaming balance of my payment $500 of $4000. I continue calling firm personnel stated they knew nothing about case being dismissed and never talked to personnel at juvenile facility. Finally a few days went by and I called firm with juvenile personnel on line. Firm personnel began giving me run around again until juvenile personnel stated she was on phone. Then I began to receive excuses like this is only our second juvenile case. Tired of hearing excuses juvenile personnel began to tell firm personnel how to confirm state decided to dismiss case on there own. (Case was reduced to misdemeanor) I began to inquire getting my money back for paying a felony lawyer for a misdemeanor case. I was told Mr. Pritchard would contact me no response since. My contract states non refundable if case is lost, but dosen't state non- refundable if state decided to drop the case. I paid for a felony lawyer and didn't have a felony case, and law firm didn't get my case reduced, because this was only the second juvenile case firm had handled and didn't know what to do until told by juvenile personnel. I'm disappointed and feel I have been taking advantage of. I am a single mother working 2 jobs while going to school and the firm knows this, but still decided treat me with no regard. Out of frustration the firm personnel stated to me that the way they see it I still owe them $500 for June even though my case was dismissed May 21. Even though I never needed a felony lawyer they took my money and never audit it like they said they would, and never made an attempt to return my money back to me. Is this the representation you want to represent you. They took an oath to uphold the law and not break or bend to their satisfaction. I'm also reporting to BBV to ensure no one else is taking advantage of.

Excellent Guidance

I met with Brett Pritchard in order to obtain guidance on what I should do to assist my parents in maintaining their quality of life and not be taken advantage of by their youngest son (my younger brother). After seeking assistance from Adult Protective Services, for almost a year, my parents' circum...stances (especially my mother's) worsened. I realized that I needed professional help outside of APS. Mr. Pritchard listened with compassion and provided sound counsel. Although he could not take the case, he recommended that I contact a lawyer in the county where my parents live. I am very appreciative for his advice and I truly believe that he has each of his client's best interest in mind.

Good

consulted with Brett Pritchard about a family matter. He helped so much just during the consultation. He managed to give the advice to keep my son from being taken out of state. If I did not consult with him that day my son would most likely be out of state at this moment. Ryan Lawton from the Brett ...Pritchard Law firm is who represented us. He was awesome. Within just a couple months I had conservership of my son. He now lives with me. I was able to keep up with everything going on with my case through mycase.com. If i had any questions I could message through mycase. I always got fast responses. I also had access to all documents in the case due to the website the brett pritchard law firm uses. I was also given Mr. Lawtons cell phone number. SOO I was ALWAYS informed and NEVER left in the dark. The whole process was so smooth. I think this was the biggest plus. I do believe they genuinely cared about our case. I would hire again without doubt.

Highly Recommend

Our experience with Brett Pritchard was positive from the first moment we consulted with him. He listened, put us at ease and explained the legal process regarding our case very clearly. Mr. Pritchard was attentive, thorough, and helpful throughout a very difficult time. He was with us every step of... the way with insight and compassion, always responding quickly and effectively with any questions or issues as they arose. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Brett Pritchard. If you are looking for an outstanding attorney he is the man for the job!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Simply put, if CPS is coming down the block, call Brett. He is an absolute master of the CPS courtroom. I have sent him clients on many occasions because I know Brett will fight like hell for them. Many times I have watched him make a complete fool out of CPS workers who don't know their own SOP manual, let alone follow it. Strongly recommended."
