Best call ever made!

I have not but the utmost respect, and positive things to say about Ms. Waddell and the quality of work she provided. She was on top of my case even when I wasn't. If you call text or email her, she will respond. I work nights so that was a blessing in itself. She is very business oriented, confident..., and relentless! If she says she will do something it's as good as done. She went above and beyond for me and my case. She gives you options and tells you your best case scenario, but at the same time you have a say. I appreciate everything she did for me andi highly recommend her to everyone!!

Best Lawyer in TX

Ms. Waddell totally took care of me when my friends and I “allegedly” did something stupid and she got it dismissed with nothing on my record. It feels good when your lawyer walks in the courtroom and the other attorneys, bailiffs and court staff all speak to her. Her staff at Bastine Law Group alw...ays answered and treated me like I was special. Hopefully I won’t have to use them again, but they would definitely be the only call I make.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
