Replied last January 08, 2024We are sorry to hear about your family member. As soon as we were told you were a MetLife client we informed you that we were no longer taking those cases.

"I became familiar with Ms. Lindsey-Pottinger when I worked for the Houston ISD. I believe that I had several cases where she was the hearing examiner on administrative termination cases, but they were resolved without hearing. She was competent and cordial in my dealings with her. I endorse her as an attorney in the field of employment/labor law."

"I have known Allecia since 2007. Since then, we have worked together on multiple family law cases and Allecia has always proven herself to be a very capable attorney. Her nuanced knowledge of the Texas Family Code and her ability to recite Texas Rules of Civil Procedure off the top of her head are uncanny. She is also a very caring attorney and this also shows in her work. I can recommend Allecia to anyone who is looking for a clear advantage in legal matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Ms. Lindsey-Pottinger on a number of matters and she consistently demonstrates a high level of focus, dedication, and intelligence. Ms. Lindsey-Pottinger's talents are diverse- her quality of work excels at both the trial and appellate levels. I have recommended her to a number of friends and colleagues."
