Gabbie Shamae Canales

I hired Canales on a recommendation on a Friday morning. I needed an Atty to file paper work within 72 hours. She was in court and her assistant reassured me she would be able to file the paperwork within that time limit and help me with my case. I called later that afternoon, Saturday and Sunday and... Monday am, I even texted the assistant and no response from either of them. Monday am came and nothing. I hired another attorney that afternoon. I asked for my deposit back due to lack of communication and confidence. At this point I have never even met the Atty. Her assistant came up with some story as to why her phone didn’t work all weekend long. Apologized, agreed that they didn’t communicate with me. Yet, Canales refused to refund me my 1,000 deposit. I was in court and saw her represent her client who plead guilty and got the max time of his crime. I definitely dodged a bullet with her. I still have the conversations and receipt. I plan on consulting with the bar association. Taking advantage of someone in a time of need is not okay. No wonder Texas Monthly named her the worst attorney.
