Worst attorney

We had a hearing today and Jon could not wait for sentencing until April , 2015 he made the decision without asking my son what he wanted to do. He acted like judge and jury and basically hung my son out to try. He didn't stay for the sentencing just ran out of the court. The judge was still looking... for him. I am filing suit and a grivience with the starte of Texas ba; he should never be allowed to practice law ever .

DIVORCE

Jon promised to take care of me as a client and did nothing of the sort. Jon was supposed to be representing me for a divorce and waited so long to file contempt charges that by the time the court date came around we were all of the sudden in mediation and Jon never used the contempt charges that th...e wife was to appear before a judge on during the same week we went to mediation as leverage. Jon just sat back and let it all play out. At the end of mediation Jon and the mediation lawyer proceed to colabarate with each other to put a parenting facilitator and require me to pay for it all and all mediation cost. Look out because his wife will come in and try and get involved too. His wife came into his firm and took off wife my entire file and she is not a lawyer. Obviously anyone knows that this is illegal. Your best bet is to find a lawyer that can look you in the eye and be honest to you from the very beginning. I would not recommend Jon.

Do not recommend

Procrastinator should be the best word to describe this attorney. He never showed that he cared about my case. All he wanted was his retention fee. Will not recommend this lawyer for any family case.

Replied last January 31, 2015

This is simply not a true statement about Mr. Disrud. I have known Mr. Disrud for over 15 years and he is very well respected and fights extremely hard for his clients. I should know I have been on the other side of the case. I imagine this post is just another disgruntled person who wishes to bad mouth an attorney who has to deal with a bad fact case. Look in the mirror before you start bad mouthing a professional.

review

I contacted this office 1 year ago. I was quoted a price from the office n then he quoted me another price. I agreed to pay 1500 retainer as long as the contract was written in the agreed quoted price. This office took my money n I never heard from them again. I never received a contract. This offic...e stole my money. When I call the staff hang up n my face. I have sent emails n faxes. No response. My x that my case was going to be with is dying. I have been asking for my money since it was taken. I needed him to represent my child support case. My kids are now n their second semester n college. Please find another attorney. This office will embarrass you n make your problems 10 times worse.

annulment

Jon did an annulment for me. There were no complications at all. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a straightforward person who knows the law and will tell you the facts. He will not lie to you about anything.
