Brian Rolland McGiverin

I hired Brian McGiverin in May of 2025 to help me manage my dad's estate, who died without a will. I was told research would be done on my case to help me know the best course of action, but I didn’t see evidence of any research. The law office (The Austin Community Law Center) where I hired him thro...ugh, was very hard to get a hold of if I had questions and it would take multiple follow ups just to get a response. The last contact I had with them (other than a bill in July 2025) was June of 2025, even though they told me they would update me on what their research uncovered. I decided to cancel the contract with Brian McGiverin in April 2026 because I had not heard from anyone since June of 2025 and had found a way to manage my dad's estate on my own. My contract was canceled as requested and I was told my $300 retainer would be refunded within 3-4 weeks. It is now September (2026) and I still have not received my refund. Even though 9 follow up emails have been sent to them about the delay. The only response I get is some version of “We will look into this and get back to you.” Which they don’t.
