Waste of time and money

Horrible experience working with this law office. Incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience. They did not provide the service they agreed to and want to bill me for additional services they decided to perform instead. Very poor communication; you will have no idea what is going on with your... case. Specifically do not work with Alfred Kay. He does not reply to emails and does not show up for appointments. I had to make three and he did not show up for any of them. He wrote a demand letter for my case to a different party than stated in the contract, when he was only supposed to provide advice about contacting someone else, then claimed he went above and beyond which I should pay for. I received no communication before or after the letter was sent, until I asked for status and was informed of the letter with an apology that they forgot to send me a copy. The contract was also supposed to include advising but I was never contacted and had to pay additional charges to hear from Mr Kay, which again took three tries. In the end, when I talked to Mr. Kay, he said that he could not help me until I received the information requested in the demand letter...which was my reason for hiring an attorney...I was having difficulty getting the information. This office is so ineffective please don't waste your time or money. I am working with a new attorney who has better communication skills and is more capable and concerned about my case.

Divorce Decree Modification

I was referred to Alfred Kay through my employer's legal plan. Calling from Georgia, I needed an attorney in Texas to represent the case as my ex-wife had moved my daughter half way across the country. I was limited to the visitation rules in Georgia and quickly realized that I needed an updated decr...ee. Mr. Kay was very helpful by phone and we came to an agreement before I even flew to Texas to meet him. His paralegal, Cassie, is a delight to work with. I was kept up-to-date on all legal matters and we filed the modification request shortly after discussing the case. During the required mediation in Travis County, I felt I had a voice in the matter, which I did not have during the divorce proceeding in Georgia. We were able to obtain standard visitation rights for parents that reside over 100 miles away, which makes it much easier to maintain a relationship with my daughter. We also worked out a schedule that will allow her to fly to Georgia on her own soon. Before updating the decree, I had no quality visitation time during the summers or holidays, and this year we look forward to spending summer together. Thank you Alfred and Cassie, I appreciate all of your continued efforts while the opposing counsel continued to drag their feet.

Representation on student loan debt (related to divorce decree)

My Kay won all (there were several) student loan NCSLT cases related to my deadbeat ex, and saved me north of $50k in debt that was originally agreed to NOT be paid by me. He was referred by a colleague of my divorce enforcement atty as he has been successful defending people in cases by National Col...legiate Student Loan Trust.

Phenomenal lawyer

Highly recommend Alfred Kay!!! If you want a hard working, witty, no nonsense lawyer, then he is your man! He represented me in a recent divorce relocation case. I couldn't be happier. He and his legal assistant Cassie kept me up to date weekly. Never left to wonder what heck is going on???? Never su...gar coated, to the point and is a pure genius. Fabulous customer service, repeat customer, and will refer again, and again, and again!!! Bonus.....he has an intelligent sense of humor ;-)

High recommendation for Alfred Kay

I hired Mr. Kay to work on three separate law suits filed against me for the student loans of my deceased husband. Mr. Kay was helpful and stated realistic expectations. He was very patient with all my inquiries and professional and kind through all our communications. Mr. Kay won all three case...s! I am so grateful to have the burden of those hefty lawsuits lifted.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I had the pleasure of serving as opposing counsel to Mr. Kay during a divorce case. The clients were very emotional and assets being divided were relatively high. This is usually a recipe for lengthy and expensive cases. Thanks to our mutual efforts, we were able to work out a great conclusion for our clients that kept much of their estate in tact without the need to pay high attorney fees. Mr. Kay was courteous and respectful to everyone, even when we didn't see eye to eye. I was so impressed with him that I have stayed in contact since that case and consider him an outstanding member of the Austin and Georgetown Legal Profession. I know to stay on my guard when he's the opposing attorney, but he is is very efficient and effective for his clients."
