Posted by Kurt | September 24, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

An amazing lawyer, an even better human being

I initially came to Margo with a pretty simple child support issue. That blew up into a complete disaster of a custody case soon after when my ex-wife decided to not return my daughter after a visit to another state. The amount of support and professionalism I received from Margo and her staff was ...amazing. Their attention to detail is phenomenal. But what got me more than anything else was that Margo and her staff actually cared for me and my family. To say they went above and beyond would be about the biggest understatement I can think of. She goes about things the right way. She doesn't try to milk money out of you with unnecessary time or use of her resources. She is completely prepared and thorough when and if the need arises to go to court. She walked me through every part of the process. She is kind, compassionate, professional, and unbelievably good at her job. There needs to be more people like Margo on this planet. She is an amazing human being first, then a fantastic attorney second. I can't say enough good things about her. I literally can't think of a single negative thing to say. I am in debt to her and her staff, and I can honestly say she saved my family. I recommend her without hesitating to anyone that will listen.

The very Best

Margo is very thorough and very well respected within Williamson County. No contested case is cheap. You get what you pay for. I felt very well represented, very prepared and she always offered me ways to save money and do some of the court prep work myself. I found her to be very ethical and car...ing for both sides. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a divorce attorney or for any Enforcement need.

Way too expensive but thorough if you can afford to pay her overpriced services

If money were no object, I would have stayed with Margo Fox. So that hopefully helps sum up my experience with her. I thought she was good, and probably quite smart. However, she overcharged because she was overly meticulous, always wanted more information gathering so her hours kept adding up and ad...ding up. She also did not take responsibility for certain additional fees which were tacked on without my knowledge until the service was performed and it was too late, another bill was addressed to me. I asked many times for a realistic estimate and that never happened. The hours billed grew so quickly, I needed a bankruptcy attorney before I could finish my divorce. Overall, I could not complete my divorce with her because she billed me out of being her client.
