Kelly Ann Gier

I hired The Pace firm which referred me to Kelly Gier. They never disclosed and refused to disclose the referral agreement after my file was referred to her outside the firm to Kelly. I was lead to believe that Kelly was apart of The Pace Firm. It is required by law to disclose these referral agreeme...nts if the attorney is outside of the firm actually hired. Also, they The Pace Firm and Kelly Gier have still not handed over my client file to the attorney now handling my legal matters. The file was requested in August, 2019, so it has been over 1 year and 6 months ago. Again, this is required by law and it shows you the true colors of Kelly although I can only hope that this is being caused by The Pace Firm and not Kelly. Regarding the contract, it stated a fee and I received invoices for different amounts later on. Kelly refused my calls multiple times until I finally had to simply go to another attorney due to her lack of response. Luckily, I kept recordings of the initial conversations regarding fees and working with The Pace Firm and Kelly. I was able to confirm the promise of fees was in fact not the same as what was being demanded I pay. The contract with The Firm even has a non-disparagement clause, which is unethical and a major red flag. Non-disparagment clauses violate provisions per the law.

I have not decided whether to have Kelly represent me today, and I am writing this review because she has seen first hand what a so called respected attorney has done to me in Williamson County. She has worked with me on the price of representation and appears to be a solid attorney. She has adequa...tely explained the charges that are being brought forth and has tried to break down the legal system stance on what they will do to me fairly and honestly without telling me that she would get this dismissed like my last attorney. She is definitely a contender and cares about your outcome I think. I will make up my mind by this morning and update my review accordingly.

Kelly Gier was my attorney on a relatively serious criminal defense case where I was being charged on a 2nd degree felony. From the moment I first consulted with her after consulting several other attorneys, I knew she would be the one to handle my case. She is very poised, knowledgeable and in my ca...se supportive towards my concerns and maltreatment from the Austin PD. She listens, advises, and understands the entire system. From her bio and experience I know she is also of great moral character and believes in what is right. She got into this profession sparked by passion for justice and if you trust in her I know she will do her best with positive results. I cannot thank her or recommend her enough for what she did for me. The results of her work for me lead to the DA rejecting all charges and me getting my freedoms back. Thank you Kelly!!!
