Patricia Faye Bushman

She charged me monthly legal fees, and had me collecting documents for a year, but did nothing to resolve my divorce. She didn't explain why it was taking so long, and became hostile when I complained about the continued delay. She made several threats to withdraw from my case just days before a sch...eduled hearing. She had my file 10 months, and was not prepared for the final hearing. Took no initiative to resolve my divorce. Allowed opposing counsel to control the direction of the entire case. With months of doing nothing to finalize my divorce, she caused me to lose a lot of resources with no results. She is neither competent or capable and shows no compassion or integrity.

She was appointed amicus for my child. I paid her fees upfront, then received a bill for additional fees. I asked my lawyer why I received a bill, I was never told there would be additional charges. He told me not to pay it, that he would talk to her first. I never received another bill and it's been... six months. Now she is adding this to the court orders. Why did she not send me another bill or call me? Obviously my lawyer failed to talk with her, but still she could have sent another bill. This is unprofessional! I would have paid, I paid her original fee in full up front. Come on why do people have to be ugly! I work hard while my huband stays home with our child with a disibility. I have good credit, so why does someone have to be so hurtful. I have always been respectful to her. Just another reason I don't trust lawyers. I am so hurt!

I used the services of Attorney Bushman in my divorce case in 2009 with four children involved in the joint custody. I had to rehire our services again last month to enforce the divorce decree regarding the property division on the same case. I had an attorney who started on my case earlier befo...re I met Ms Bushman so I know the difference between an experienced honest professional family lawyer from a novice jack of all trade. Ms Bushman is one of the most professional and very experienced Family Law attorney in Houston today. I found her services to be of high standard and at a reasonable cost. She has various payment options to choose from. One can negotiate a "fixed charge" for simple straight forward case or choose a "variable itemized billing" for a more complex and unpredictable case. In my 2009 divorce case, I received monthly itemized billing statements and paid whatever I could afford each month while for my most recent case I agreed to settle for a lump sum charge. As for each case outcome, I think she tries hard to be just and fair. She believes it's always better for the adults to be reasonable and negotiate a settlement that will reduce the negative impact of divorce on the family especially on the children who usually are the most vulnerable. I know this is very difficult to swallow especially for men, but the impact on the children could be far worse. Ms Bushman experience proves very valuable to help to protect the interest of our children. I will definitely recommend her services for any family who truely cares about their children but finds divorce inevitable.

I have had multiple cases with Ms. Bushman concerning my divorce and children. She has always been helpful, professional and more than patient with me about my payments. When I came in, I was really afraid that I would not be able to afford an attorney, but she let me set up a payment plan, and if so...mething happened and I couldn't pay the whole monthly amount, she was perfectly willing to let me pay as much as I could afford that time. She is honest, practical, and fair. You can tell that she is respected by both her peers, and the courts. She gets what she needs to do done, and does it in a direct and practical way. She is not one-sided, she always listens to what you have to say, but can see through the anger and pain and let you know what is really best. She is great with kids, and her experience has helped her to know what's best when it comes to co-parenting. She won't let your feelings towards the other parent get in the way of what is best for the children. Her staff is wonderful. They really go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable with what is going on, and that you don't feel left out of your own case. They care about you just as much as she does and are always willing to do what they can to keep you up to date and provide you with the information you need. Overall, Ms. Bushman is the only lawyer I would ever trust my family to. She understands your financial situation and is always willing to do what she can to help get your family back where it needs to be.
