Kevin Edward Sralla

Hired sralla with a $5k cash retainer for my divorce. How much work did he do? Only filed my divorce petition. Never answered my calls or emails. Then he assigned another attorney to my case. Complete waste of time. Go elsewhere. Stay away from sralla and his office. He'll have you talk a...nd talk while running the meter on your retainer all the while pretending to care about you, but it's only your money he cares about.

My wife and I had a person take over $250,000.00 of our personal property and did it in a way that he was not charged for theft by the police. We found out that he had done it to other people in the past as well. We told Kevin about what this person had done, and in a 24 hour period Kevin had the ...suite filed and served on the person that took our property. You will not find a lawyer that works harder or knows the way the court system works in this town better. My wife and I are extremely grateful for everything he has done and we know our case is in the best hands. We look forward to our case being resolved and moving forward in our life’s thanks to Kevin.

I needed an attorney asap when my reputation was being slandered by a hurtful person in my life. That’s when I decided to make an appointment with Mr. Sralla. He told me the truth: it’s difficult to sue someone for slander. He explained all possibilities legally and I was struck by how intelligent an...d knowledgeable he was. He was able to help me handle this situation without going to court or spending too much money. Later, when I needed a divorce, Buck was there for me again. He went to-to-toe with the other attorney and got me a great deal before the divorce was final that protected my rights and allowed me flexible and frequent time with my kids. Although my wife and I have since reconciled and didn’t divorce, I know that Mr. Sralla is standing by whenever I need him. He also gave me a great deal on my retainer that helped me when I was low on funds. I would recommend Buck to anyone and anybody who needs a fighter in the courtroom.

After a series of disappointing representation by other Bexar County family law attorneys, it turns out that Buck is no different. He has one person on his staff and has no problem billing his client's for anything he does, and he does it all. I had to fire him after receiving bloated and inappropri...ate invoices. On my last statement EVERY single phone call was overbilled between us. Since I was able to prove via my phone bill how many calls and how long, he refunded me. While I received $1,600 back, I didn't receive a refund on anything I couldn't prove. I guarantee he took me for thousands.... An example of inflating his bills: If Buck drops off a document instead of using a courier, he bills $200/hour for that (a courier would've cost $20). For "research" he bills 2 to 3 hours yet he is unable to produce the research saying he left it with the Judge and he refuses to show a print out from Lexis/Nexis (legal research engine). When pressed, Buck stated that I got him for a discount (his standard rate of $200 is apparently a "discount") and this I believe is where he feels justified in overbilling here and there. He also stated that if it takes him 9 hours of reviewing, researching, drafting, etc. for a 4 page brief on conservatorship then it doesn't matter that that is waaaay more time than another attorney of 18 years experience should take. Understand conservatorship is a standard/common family law issue for an attorney with this many years experience. Buck takes his time b/c he knows he can bill his clients and there's nothing we can do about it. If you want an ethical, honest, efficient (I didn't even go into all the times I had to follow up and remind him to do things) keep looking, Buck will ultimately take your money till there's none left.

What should have been a simple quick divorce turned out to be 2 1/2 yrs long! I hired him Jan.2014 & paid in full. My spouse was incarcerated with a life sentence. Simple divorce! He didn't file til March 2014. We went to court Aug.2014 & the judge signs and says congratulations you are divorced. En...d of July 2016 we get a notice in the mail that we have court for dismissal in September. Apparently no one filed my signed divorce decree and for the last 2 years I have actually been married! It took another 2 weeks to file my decree and get my divorce final. If it wasn't for action on my part and his assistant I would probably still be married. I never spoke to him after that first call about the dismissal notice. I called and emailed & he never returned my call. Thank goodness for his assistant Talia.
