Paul Stanley Parker

As a retired police officer and a person who has had a need for a family law attorney, I feel that Paul is hands down the best attorney overall that can be hired. This man seems to genuinely care for people weather you are a client or not. His fees are extremely fair, his attitude is always positive... and he can deliver the legal services that are most needed. Since my services were completed over 5 years ago, Paul remembered me and when I had a couple simple questions, he immediately took my call and answered them without seeking compensation before hand. ( a Rarity in the legal world) I highly recommend Paul for all of your legal needs.

Paul Parker had no problem taking my money and making claims of how easy my case would be to win. He never returned phone calls, never followed up with things he told you he was working on for you, and never completed those outstanding tasks. He never turned over any of the evidence that was prepar...ed for him way in advance to either the GAL or the judge. Cost me thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours of my time preparing evidence that was requested of me for him to never even look at it let alone try to use it. It was a complete nightmare!!!! He not only failed me, but utterly failed my children that are having to continue to live in a nightmare situation now.

I hired Mr Parker for a custody case. He takes your money, but does nothing in a timely manner to remedy the situation. His office staff is unprofessional, talking about other clients and their cases. Mr. Parker does not return phone calls and often cancels court dates. I learned the hard way...hard... lesson learned!

I hired Paul thru the phone being that I lived in Lubbock and needed to get my son out of jail. He was willing to help over the phone and assure me he will get my son out on bond. After receiving funds to his bank, I had a hard time to talk to him. My son was offered 10 yrs and did not change at all ...after him being in jail for 1 yr. No reason to pay an attorney that didnt do anything for him. Mr. Paul Parker is all bluff. Now he wont return my calls and very true. Always has new staff and they are rude as hell to talk to on the phone. No help but sure takes your money.

If you want to have an attorney who will not return phone calls and attend to business in a timely fashion which will place you in more legal problems then prior to "hiring" him then this is your lawyer. I paid him a lot of money to represent me in a family law matter and he essentially took my mone...y and then did absolutely nothing. I mean nothing at all. I saw this man once in a 6 month period and after an initial hearing that took 1 hour nothing was done. This placed me and my children in a very bad position-- especially since the State of Texas was garnishing my pay to pay child support-- when I had the children! This garnishment was 60% of my income at that time! Needless to say the ex-wife still was getting child support (and she could then afford to pay her lawyer fees), I was trying to support the kids that I had custody of while working full-time. His refusal to do anything placed my children in bad position and necessitated me quitting a good job so I could watch the kids at least since I couldn't afford child care. I eventually had to hire another attorney to take care of the botched mess this incompetent and selfish lawyer created. After this I discovered that Paul Parker does not attend to business, does not return phone calls or address client concerns (instead leaving this up to his staff to run defense and avoidance). He has a reputation at the courthouse and among other lawyers for constantly being unavailable or on vacation. He loves the flat-fee contract because this tool is viewed as excusing an attorney from accountability. Do not depend on or think that the State Bar will protect you from incompetent lawyers. Do not retain this man-- you will be sorry if you do.
