VERY UPFRONT - SHE ADVISES YOU NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR, BUT WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

I was hit with a surprise divorce petition which cast me in the most negative matter in order to gain assets and possible maintenance from me. I’m glad I chose Ms. Jacqueline Kriebel. She was upfront, communicative, responsive, and professional throughout. She was able to give genuine advice which h...elped me get through this legal process with minimal stress and loss to my present and future assets. I'll always be grateful. I give Ms. Kriebel my highest recommendation.

Very happy with this attorney!

I was having difficulties with exercising my visitation rights as the other parent would say my child was unavailable or didn't want to see me. I wasn't able to get any information from the other parent as to my child's doctor's appointments or things going on at school. I scheduled a consultation wi...th Jacqueline Kriebel who spent over an hour with me, listening to my situation and telling me what the law is. I didn't realize I had options. Jacqueline sued my child's parent and I was able to get make up time for all the days I missed visitation. And now we coordinate all the doctor's appointments and visitations through an online program. I am so glad I hired Jacqueline. I feel that my ex and I are finally able to get along better by using the online program and now that she knows he can't keep my child from me. You all need to hire Jacqueline for your child custody issues! As for anyone who says they cannot reach Jacqueline, I do not believe it. I had her cell number so I could text or email her any questions I had. I know she is a busy attorney but I always felt Jacqueline responded promptly even while she was sitting in court, even if it was to say she would call me when she got out of court. All I can say is I am VERY happy with Jacqueline and found her to be down to earth and professional.

Not at all lawyers are dishonest, there are some that want to help!

I needed a lawyer for the first time in my life and Jacqueline made the experience a lot less stressful than it could have been. She is honest and knowledgeable. She kept me in the loop at all times and made an unpleasant process manageable. I would highly recommend her services to anyone needing ...assistance.

Keep Looking!

I hired Ms. Kriebel for, in her words, "a simple annulment"!. Married for 6 months, no property, no kids. On our first meeting she ran in 30 minutes late stating she had a doctors appointment with her daughter. She talks about "family comes first", believe it because you come 3rd on her list of oblig...ations, second is her soon to be husband! The first thing that she said was "you realize your wedding rings are yours". She continued to examine my jewelry and offered me to consult her before I sold them which I had no intention to do. I have been in contact with her other clients that have given BAD REVIEWS! Believe them because if you notice, her reply is always the same "you could have found another attorney". We all put our trust in HER!! I asked several times for a detailed invoice for her services and she could not produce (just like her other BAD REVIEW clients). Don't believe the "trust fund" that she has on her website, when you give her your money, that is the last you will see of it. After reading her replies to bad reviews it's the same story, "you could have found another lawyer". Well she already had my money! I could not afford to get another one. To this day, I still have not received a detailed invoice. The last time I texted her (August 23, 2017) for my invoice. I was interrupting her dinner and I was "inconsiderate and unappreciative", really!!! She has $2500 of my hard earned money! She took advantage of me and obviously a lot of other people. I'm sure she will have a come back to my negative post but take your best shot, you know, hopefully, what you did to me was wrong! This "simple annulment" took more than 45 days and in the process caught her in a lie, just to extend the process to keep my money. Yes, I texted her during my annulment journey but her replies to me was "call the police" which I did but your advice was incorrect! Then with her being an abused victim (stated in your reply to one of your past clients), her advice to me was "deal with it" when I was being verbally, emotionally and physically abused. I needed help and she offered NOTHING! SHE told me to text her anytime! I will continue posting negative reviews just like Monica Noyes Maryland! My grievance will also be filed with the State Bar of Texas.

Replied last December 20, 2018

I got your annulment done very quickly and professionally. I went above and beyond in your simple case and finished within 45 days. Your Ex's itemized bill was twice that of yours and I did all the drafting in this case. Sometimes people do not realize the amount of work a lawyer does to get your case done but I would be more than happy to discuss the issues and concerns you have. Thank you.

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.
