Worst Experience
This office is by far the worst I've ever experienced. The consultation is $250 with an attorney who is retired. The entire consultation she stated my husband had a great case and most definitely could go for full custody and if not 50/50. We hired the office which required a $10,000 retainer only fo...
Posted by anonymous | January 22, 2013 | Divorce & Separation
Unbelievable...in the worst way.
Poor professional. Didn't return calls. Kept delaying the court dates. After 4 months with Lisa, she still didn't get me any temporary orders for my divorce. My ex by then had done so much damage. The only time she was genuinely concerned and cared was when she wanted my retainer. Sad that she bears ...
Lisa Vance
Replied last February 04, 2013We were the second lawyers hired to represent FH in her divorce action. We created a litigation strategy so that she would work ONLY with one of our paralegals, rather than include the hourly rate of a lawyer. She never called me, only the legal assistant and therefore it is not true that I did not return her calls. That paralegal, however, spent time with FH, analyzing her data, creating a budget and expense roster for her to use in her case. She wanted us to work for free and when we refused, she said she would post negative messages on the web about me. That is defamation; her malicious intention is evident in her refusal to even list her name in this comment. Her husband worked in the oilfield and was only able to come into San Antonio sporadically. At the first hearing, his lawyer forgot that the hearing was to be held and it was therefore continued at his request. At the second, FH told us we no longer had her authority to represent her. The night before that hearing, the husband’s lawyer’s car was stolen and he had no papers to present anyway. Knowing that FH would not permit us to represent her, I explained how very difficult this client is & outlined our work to the Hon. Karen Pozza, who voiced her confidence in me and my work. FH attempted to file a grievance against me with the State Bar of Texas, but her allegations were insufficient to even justify any state investigation whatsoever. FH asked us to return her entire retainer; we gave her back the money that had not been spent on her case. She then threatened that if she did not get her entire retainer, she would post negative comments on the web about me. I do not tolerate bullying behavior and am more than comfortable explaining what happened in this case. No damage was done by the husband during our brief representation of FH. They were living apart and she was able to support herself.
