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.

Terrible professionalism. I hired this firm based on the overall rating given on google. I wish I would have went through each individual review! You will literally wait weeks for an update on your case. The first time speaking to my lawyer she knew nothing about the case, the conversation was liter...ally spent with her asking me questions about details she should have already been privy to before calling me. The conversation was not productive I was not able to ask or receive answers to my questions due to the lack of information she had. Secondly, after reaching out to them about an appointment and getting no response, I reached out a second time and finally got a date to speak with my attorney. On the day I was supposed to speak to my attorney the firm informed me same day that I will not be receiving a call from her and rescheduled me to the following week with a new attorney. A simple custody revision has turned into a complete drawn out process due to the lack of enthusiasm and professionalism from the firm. All the while I am still getting charged with little to no communication. Honestly, weight your options before choosing this firm.

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!
