VAWA CASE.

One of my friends referred me to Mr Bruce A Coane. I paid his consultation fee after consulting with three lawyers which are already on this website with 5 star rating. As i stepped in his office for consultation after spending 10 minutes with him i told Mr Bruce that he is the one who will get me th...rough. I immediately hired him. He has applied for my and i have already have being granted Prima Facie. Usually clients write reviews after their case decision but i am so confident and i have faith in Mr Bruce Coane that he will get me through which has made me to write this review. Thank you sir.

Employment Case

I would like to thank Mr. Coane and his team for everything they did for me in my employment case. Before Mr. Coane, I consulted with several other attorneys that turned me down in a hurry by phone, sent me mail saying they couldnt help or mail saying my case was weak. Since, my middle name is "perse...verance" I continued my search and found Mr. Coane. He read a document, asked a few questions, explained what he could do for me and gave me a reasonable fee for his services. Im extremely satisfied with the end results . He is professional and I love his calm demeanor, you can feel that he genuinely cares and does everything he can to help. I would recommend him to everyone.

Great Attorney Experience (Coane & Assoc)

I BIG thank you to Mr. Coane and his professional team for helping me successfully settle my case. I also wanted to let others in similar situations know about my experience with you and your law firm. Prior to hiring an attorney, I did quite a bit of due diligence and research. I stumbled upon Le...galMatch.com and felt that your consultation fee was very reasonable and decided to give your firm a call for an appointment. Prior to the visit with you, I had met and talked with a half dozen other attorneys. I consider myself very skeptical and cautious when interacting or having to decide on an attorney since I had never done so in the past. From our first appointment, I felt that you were the right attorney to handle my case. Your 32 years of law experience was certainly evident from our first visit. Each phone call, email or inquiry I had were promptly responded to the same day and in some instances immediately. When I came to you, I had a legal burden on my shoulders. You gave me hope, help put my mind at ease concerning my case and quickly helped me acquire a settlement that I am very pleased with. The burden has been removed and I am ready to start a new chapter in my life. I highly recommend your law firm to my professional and personal networks. I made the right decision with you and your firm. Thanks so much.

Thank you Tasha! I am glad that we were able to quickly get your case settled, and for a very nice sum of money. It was a pleasure and honor to be your attorney.

Horrible Attorney

I hired Bruce Coane to file a VAWA(violence against women act) for me. I agreed to his fee of almost $8000. I paid $2000 down and $500/month for 3 months ($3500). He sat on my paperwork, when I called and asked when he was going to file my case with immigration, his assistant said he didn't know. ... He ducks and dodge you after he legally steals your money. I requested mediation with the Houston Bar Asso., but so far he has refused. He came highly recommended, but in the end, he sets you back sooo far, its hard to come back.
