Excellent attorney

Karleana was very efficient and thorough through out my divorce process. She communicated very clearly so I would understand everything in detail. She also made sure to answer my questions very efficiently which I appreciate very much. I would highly recommend her and her firm to everyone.

very disappointed

We hired Karliana, and we were very dissatisfied.She never showed up to court like she promised she would.She always sent someone who was not familiar with the case.They were always late.Once no one even showed up.Our case is still on going in Fort Bend County.She was let go on May 14.Many things hav...e now come to light that she never informed of us.I would never recommend this firm.

I was not retained by Fabiola, the person who posted this review was never my client. This is a review posted by a family member of a former client. Sadly, and especially in cases where families are very involved with the process, I cannot discuss the intricacies of a case with family members. This can be a very frustrating ordeal for family members who do not understand what is discussed and understood between Attorney and client. I’m sorry you feel so disappointed, family and criminal cases can be highly emotional for my client’s extended family. I wish you and your family well.

Karleana L. Farias

Karleana L. Farias and her staff (Leo Farias, Karen, Adrian) were all easy to talk to, easy to work with, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about our case and each individual situation that arose during the legal process. It is very clear that the Farias lawyers enjoy what they do and do it ...well. As a father she gave me confidence and insight into the legalities of my individual situation. I won my case without having to go to trial. When everything was finished Mrs. Farias also sat down with us and further explained the order and answered any questions we had so that we would leave with the full understanding of both my and the other party's responsibilities. I am beyond thankful for their services. -B.L

Excellent Attorney

Karleana and her firm were excellent throughout my divorce. I had many questions during the entire process, which Karleana and her staff (thank you Karen and Adrian!) answered patiently. Karleana fought for my rights and obtained a great settlement. I thought the divorce was going to drag on and o...n but we were able to conclude it and obtain agreement, to my immense relief. Thank you Karleana for all your work.
