Eddie L. Laughlin

Horrible horrible horrible!! I had this law office take on my military divorce case and they're all about the money. Im assuming they have so many clients that they've lost sight of the QUALITY of service that should be provided to every clients that pays money. My case was handled in the temple offi...ce. Susan green never returns phone calls. No updates/ information was provided to me about my case, specifics dealing with military divorces, court date etc. Two days prior to my court date i was given the time i needed to be at the belton courthouse (im not from the area so an address would've been nice). My decree was sent via email and i was told that i needed to hurry and send it back because there was a rush. Why were we rushing? A face to face appointment to go over the decree would've been professional and showed that they gave a damn. I was never told who was representing me in court and had no idea of how the person even look. The morning of court google gave me the wrong courthouse in belton and i had to call the office to find out who i was to be in contact once in the courtroom (the office told me brent would be there. I had to google brent to even know what he looked like). Long story short these people are all about the money and do not have the clients best interest in mind.

Nicholas works for the Ed Laughlin office in Temple, Texas. I was referred by a friend to Ed, himself, and received a free consultation with Ed Laughlin. I was assured my divorce would be handled carefully and he even talked to me about not putting up with domestic violence since my soon to be ex had... tried to strangle me and had been arrested. However, my first court hearing I was shocked when some squirrely guy shows up and A-has no clue who I am and B-says "oh Ed hasn't been in a courtroom in YEARS" I was npt informed Ed would not be representing me. The lawyer assigned to me w/o my knowledge was Nicholas. I am a single mother and had this gross custody battle ahead of me and this lawyer talks about how much he despises women, how he got custody of his own child, etc. He overlooked some really pivotal mistakes in the separation/temp orders. I had to comb through everything numerous time and make corrections anytime we had to go to court. My final hearing played out in my kiddo's favor, the judge ruled in her best interest and we were pleased. However, the ex's lawyers were in charge of typing the final decree. They changed the property division, child support, visitation....? My lawyer Nicho assured me he would not allow these final papers to go through without my approval. Over the past year, I reviewed the papers a dozen times and pointed out glaring mistakes. It was a nightmare! I asked to have court reporter notes pulled asked my lawyer to type up the decree everything I could think of! However, a few weeks ago, the order went through and I am stuck with stuff I didn't agree to! Nicholas responded with "take it up with the AG" and Ed Laughlin never responded.
