Bad immigration consulting

Back in 2014, Patricia has given me the wrong legal consulting in a case while she was representing me. The bad advice given by her will has a negative permanent consequence on me for life. Fully knowing what she said was wrong and it will affect me, she denied that opportunity in court during a "hab...eas corpus" case and lied about her mistake. She did that purely out of self-interest. If she has admitted to her wrong consulting and mistake, the damage could have possibly been reversed. This damage has cost me tens of thousands and more in lost opportunities and delays in life. This decision has irreversible and negatively affected my life, and that is why I'm writing this comment to share my experience.

Do Not Hire Patricia Cantu

If you want to spend money and get no service, Ms. Cantu is the lawyer for you. She failed to keep me informed and let opposing counsel lead her around by the nose. I really think she was representing the other side. She failed to file required documents timely. Gave me bad advice at mediation a...nd cost me thousands of dollars due to her incompetence. After repeatedly dropping the ball, she withdrew from my case at the last minute, thus costing me more money. I only wish she had withdrawn at the beginning. My divorce involved no children, only a house and after 15 months it is still not resolved. Don't use this attorney unless you have money and time to waste.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Fully Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2009

updated on 06/04/2007

Fully probated suspension means an attorney is technically suspended but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities during the suspension to make sure that he or she does not repeat the behavior.

Patricia’s comment:

“License to practice was never suspended.”
