Satisfied Customer Review

I found Ms. Hazel to be well-qualified. She is very organized, very responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. She works very hard on behalf of her clients and does everything in a timely matter. I highly recommend Ms. Hazel as she is not your average attorney, but has a great work ethnic, is on top ...of your case, and offers a calmness in cases where emotions can run very high. She was a huge help in filing divorce proceedings and custody issues for our daughter. She is excellent in all respects.

Best Lawyer I have ever known.

Phylis is a very trust worthy, knowledgeable and responsive attorney that always kept me well informed of the events going on in my cases. She has assisted me and my family, friends, my boss and the company that I work for and has always come out on top. I've never known an attorney that is so kind, ...compassionate and easy to reach as Phylis. She has assisted me with getting better custody of my daughter and representing me on other cases as well. I will be using her services as long as they are offered and I recommend anyone reading this do the same.

No Stone Left Unturned

Ms. Hazel has been very diligent in handling a probate matter for me for a relative who died without a will. She has been very responsive and done everything possible to resolve all of the issues involved.

Spouse left no will but children by a previous marriage.

When my husband of eighteen years died, I discovered that he had no will and that he had four children by a previous marriage. I talked to some real estate people about how to get a clear title to my house. They explained the expensive and burdensome process that I would need to go through and that I... would need a good attorney to complete that project. I contacted Phylis Hazel and she was very persistent about doing the research to locate the necessary parties, to get all the details and provide all the legal documents. She then contacted all the parties involved and met them in Dallas Courts to execute all provisions of the documents. During the entire process, Ms. Hazel was extremely professional and she was thorough and fair about dealing with all parties involved. While I thought that it was my house and I had never even met some of these people, I was very comfortable that legally my attorney provided the least painful solution. This process took about six months from start to finish and I was so relieved when the process was complete and I could move on with anything that I needed or want to do with my property.

Excellent Attorney

I found Phylis totally professional & I was put at ease immediately. She prepared my will with easy to understand explanations of each phase of the process. Her knowledge of the law is outstanding and I would trust her with anything legal I might encounter.

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.
