I paid $6,500 upfront, and later gave them another $2,500 under pressure — over $9,000 in total. From day one, I told the attorney and his staff that another man was on my son’s birth certificate and that a legal Acknowledgment of Paternity was already on file. Despite that, the man was never served ...in time. The first hearing was postponed mid-hearing because of this mistake. Even then, I didn’t give up. I personally located the man, paid for the notary, got the affidavit signed, and submitted it to the firm. But before the next hearing, my petition was amended behind my back, causing another delay. I was never consulted — just notified after it happened. At that point, I was devastated, confused, and still being billed. I kept seeing vague entries like “Review File” or “Respond to Message,” with no real movement in my case. No court orders. No name change. No representation in a full hearing. And when I raised concerns, I received a letter with these exact words from Mr. Pritchard: “When I agreed to take your case, it became MY case… Your opinions on legal matters are of little significance to me… I will not allow a civilian observer to make demands… nor will I heed to recommendations given to you by ChatGPT or any other AI program.” That’s what I got after $9,000 — a letter saying my opinion didn’t matter. To make it worse, I recently discovered that my contract was never even signed by an attorney. They took my money, but never fully executed the agreement. That speaks volumes about how my case was handled. I hired this firm because I believed in the same values I thought they stood for. I thought I was choosing someone who would fight for what’s right. But instead, I was left to fight alone. If you’re a parent fighting to be in your child’s life, please think twice. Ask the questions I didn’t know to ask. Don’t mistake a public image for personal dedication. This was my experience. And it hurt more than just my wallet — it hurt my hope.

I have had a very similar experience, including overpaying for services that were not provided, encountering rude lawyers, lack of communication, and having an inexperienced attorney represent me instead of the one I had hired. Contacting the firm and not receiving a response in a timely manner has b...een very challenging. I have been double-charged multiple times, with paralegals and attorneys not coordinating properly, resulting in repeated charges for the same services. I have not received satisfactory explanations for the overcharges after almost a year of no progress on my case.

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!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND! I have no idea how this law office gained 4 stars but here’s the truth! This Law Office DOES NOT research their client, they are bias against clients, they DO NOT have an open line of communication between them and their clients, they do not inform clients of all hearings, the...y do not allow you to speak with your lawyer (you speak with some random person via this sketchy site they’ve created, THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT MONEY! After paying them for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for over 2yrs (Due to COVID delays) they want more money. Never having a proper hearing and they thousands more, if you do not pay, they will withdraw as counsel leaving you with absolutely NOTHING! They are already extremely expensive so be aware. Brett H Pritchard is not worth your time!

From the initial consultation to present day, this law firm has been consistent in one thing, doing nothing. I hired them to represent me in my divorce. Everything was already decided, but the only thing we were fighting for was custody of my son. I was never able to meet with the attorney face-to-fa...ce due to COVID (and I understand that) but the two times I requested him to call me so we could discuss my case, he called me days later than the original appointment time. They are quick to request money but they do the bare minimum. They did no prep work on my case and represented me poorly in the courtroom. Brent couldn't even manage to win my case against my ex wife and she did not hire representation. You're telling me that someone that went to law school can't win against an average citizen with no legal background. This firm is a joke and would highly encourage everyone to stay away from them. Lastly, I paid the $5500 upfront and did not use all of it during my case. They have yet to return my remaining funds and continue to charge me $30 per message when I try to ask about it. My case was finalized back in January 2021, why is it taking 7 months to return my money? They are going to everything in their power to retain those funds or keep charging me until my funds are gone. STAY AWAY FROM THIS LAW OFFICE!!!!!!!!
