Highly Recommend

We hired Mrs. Filis to guide us through guardianship process for our autistic son. She and her staff were amazing and provided all of the information we needed every step of the way.!!

Guardianship

Guardianship isn't something that you are thinking about when you have a child with special needs, but in our case, it was necessary as our kiddo turned 18. Without a clue for how the process works, we were able to utilize the services of Filis Law to get it done. It was a great experience starting w...ith a flat fixed fee.

Guardianship Legal Matter

I cannot speak highly enough of the support provided by the Filis Law Firm in assisting me with obtaining guardianship for my adult son. From the moment I reached out to them, their professionalism and compassion were evident. The legal team understood my unique situation and guided me through the gu...ardianship process. Their expertise in disability law and guardianship matters was truly impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend the Filis Law Firm to anyone in need of legal representation for guardianship matters or any other related legal issues. Their professionalism and genuine concern for their clients' welfare set them apart as an outstanding law firm.

Hiring a Guardianship Attorney

Leona Filis consulted with me regarding the necessary steps on how to obtain Guardianship of my intellectually challenged daughter. She was very thorough in her explanation of the different steps required to obtain Guardianship through the Harris County Probate Court system. Her fee is on the lower ...end of the cost of other guardianship attorneys. She is an excellent attorney, and her staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend Leona Filis.
