Not recommend

Based on reviews and extensive research we hired her for a custody case. We ended up spending over $25,000 on fees. There were numerous typos and errors on paperwork and decrees typed out. We would in return get charged because they had to make corrections. Retainer fees were being used for erro...rs on their part. Our calls were not returned but we were charged for each one we made to the office. Her staff never had answers for our questions and would not take messages down. Mrs. Thompson's response was she didnt get a message that we called. She started out great when hired then somewhat put us in the back burner. She was unprofessional, disrespectful and rude and thats when we decided it was best to hire another attorney. She may be overwhemed with too many cases and loses focus. Its more about making the money than best interest for her client.

Visitation/custody

Pamela Thompson was professional from day one. She was honest and up front. Her knowledge helped me understand, and she never lost sight of my concerns and my child's best interest. Would recommend her over and over.

Representation After Divorce

I hired Ms. Thompson to represent me about 2 years after getting divorced. Her expertise enabled me to get primary custody of my son, after having had a joint managing conservator. I have no complaints regarding this attorney.

Great Experience

Pamela Thompson was very thorough. She helped me get my ex-husband's wages garnished when he wouldn't pay child support. She also finalized my divorce & helped me get everything I was seeking in the settlement. She's very professional & knowledgeable.
