Extracting Maximum Profit with Minimal Effort in High-Conflict Divorces

Thomas Just is an associate attorney at Bustos Family Law in Austin, Texas. I trusted Thomas Just with my future. You will find it evident by the end of this review that Just will, without hesitation, leave your life upended for a handsome profit. In fact, there is no guarantee that you will even... be divorced when he is done wringing you dry. Anger and outrage are often the driving forces behind high-conflict divorce litigation. Just will not exercise “client control” as he is morally and ethically bound to do, however. To the contrary, he sees dollar signs when his clients are at vicious odds with their exes. At a time when you are on your knees, Just will be drawing up paperwork to take out exorbitant lines of credit in your name while assuring you that your settlement will be considerable. This is a blank check for Bustos Family Law, and Just will bill against your credit freely and recklessly. My line of credit ran over $50,000 and Just still had his hand out for more money, right before he withdrew from my case on the eve of final trial. The man who should have been at my side throughout had cut and run when I needed him most. I signed a disadvantageous Mediated Settlement Agreement rather than face final trial alone. My divorce was finished by a friend to whom I also owe attorney’s fees now. The State Bar of Texas investigated Just for alleged professional misconduct. The investigations ended in dismissals of my grievances (the Bar’s Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel is not a pillar of functionality and lawyers look out for their own). In the meantime, one of Just's other failed clients has filed his own grievance against Just over similar treatment and a disastrous outcome for he and his family.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
