Miss Hicks is a beast - I think the one stars are from my ex because there’s no way there about the Attorney I used

I have been battling for the last 12 years. I have been through six family attorneys in San Antonio All with more experience and higher price than her. I have never seen anyone show up and never miss a beat or more prepared or taking more seriously by both her opposing Atty and the judges you can tel...l when she comes in the courtroom that everybody knows she means business yes because she spends most of her time in the courtroom, she’s not always available to personally take your call, but it is clear and makes it clear in her contract that all the client needs to do is request specifically to set a time to talk to her directly and she was able to do that for me within 24 hours of my request every single time. I didn’t find out until after my case was concluded that she was actually the president of her law school class, which many of the judges were under her. I wish I had met her years ago. In fact, I ended up hiring her to represent my architecture firm that I own here in San Antonio after conclusion of my family Law matter. She definitely doesn’t mince words with 100% of the time give it to you straight even if it’s not what you wanna hear but she’s the only Attorney I’ve ever had that person in me with the truth 100% of the time she had outlined methods of success and procedures identified from beginning of the case that if I followed, would ensure our success, I don’t know if these other review are being honest because it sounds like to me they wanted some free representation or it might be my ex posting as anyone can because she’s mad and took it personal. Ms. is not there to make friends, but she is the most tenacious hard-working attorney I’ve ever dealt with I recommend her to all friends and business acquaintances. She represented one of my friends businesses and has saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars problem is she doesn’t play the game she doesn’t care if she’s liked because as she puts it, she’s not there to make friends. She’s there for justice my favorite phrase of hers is we want to be Gucci not Walmart and make sure everyone knows if we go to court it’s gonna be best and easiest for them to give us what we want the first time because we won’t stop coming back or being a problem until we achieve our objective.

Best Attorney I’ve came across

If you’re looking for an attorney that’s going to fight for you in court to the nail she’s your best option. I’m referring all my friends and family to her. Worth every penny. Don’t waste your time anywhere else she’s who you NEED.

Supportive and Amazing Lawyer

Ms. Hicks is an amazing attorney. She is supportive, understanding and helps through every step of the process. She communicates well and has never let me down. She quickly deals with issues as they come and she truly cares about her clients. I have found her to be supportive throughout the proces...s, especially because it is an emotional one. She will tell you exactly how it is, but she is also kind and gives solutions/ advice to problems that may arise. I highly recommend her if you are going through a divorce as she will fight for you and keep your best interests in mind.

Professional, reliable, caring

Ms. Hicks is an excellent lawyer. During my niece’s divorce, she spent a lot of time in the initial interview and was very thorough and patient throughout the whole process. She truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend Ms. Hicks

Awesome person

Where can I start I hired mrs Alison at a very important time in my life and she literally became a part of my family. I was going thru a crazy separation with the mother of my son and I couldn’t have sat down with more understanding person in my life she got right to business and basically saved my ...life she is the most professional person I’ve dealt with on this type of matter all ways there to help no matter what her situation is .. and fought tooth and nail for me and my son not to mention she is the top ten civil attorney in Texas some years running..now but any way she got me full custody of my son and has been a very helpful person to me and a life long friend highly recommended one the best..
