Lawyer for the people

I could not be more pleased with Brent as my attorney. I found myself in a custody battle that left me feeling trapped. Once I was able to speak with Brent it was my first sense of hope and relief. I was promptly responded to and given every update on the case. My son just turned five and had bee...n withheld from me by his father for a few months prior to his birthday. I live in Louisiana and needed an attorney that practiced in the Texas area. It did not feel like Brent was hours away. He was keeping my sons best interest at the forfront and kept our line of communication open. There were numerous times where I would reach out to Brent, I didn't expect a response till the next day but he always came through. Once in front of the judge Brent kept his cool and answered all of the questions my family and I had. He is very dependable and went well out of his way for my sons well being. I was granted child support and the domicile parent. I was able to bring my son home and celebrate his birthday. There is nothing I could do to pay back Brent's attention to detail and compassion. I would recommend him to anyone. He is by far the best experience I have ever had with any attorney. Brent Huckabay fights for you and wins!

Exceptional, trustworthy, knowledgeable

Mr. Huckabay eased my stress from the very first meeting with him. Went above and beyond to help me retain primary custody of my 3 children. He fought to make sure I got the child support I was due and needed. He was more than willing to stay late and took my calls any time I needed to contact him.... I would highly recommend him for any and all legal matters. He helped when no one else would. As a newly single mom, he is indeed a person I trust.

Modification In Custody & Child Support

We are from out of town, but reached out to Brent to represent us while obtaining custody of 1 of my 3 children from a previous marriage. Brent listened to our thoughts on how the process should go and advised us on the best course of action. The end result was the best scenario possible and it was... fair. That's what we wanted all along. We didn't always get an immediate response from him, but I'm sure he wasn't always available to respond. I would recommend him to anyone needing representation for child custody or child support modification.

Red flag: plays "stupid"

Probono. Unethical conduct: did not keep word in court while accepting referrals from opposing party. Misplaced client's trust, did not come prepared for court, & favored opposing party interest. Did not act in due diligence/competence & instead have been accepting paid referrals from opposing party'...s coworkers to act in opposing party interest including: refusing to have attorney-client contract drafted/signed, advising against requesting a child support review upon discovery of significant increase in income, not protecting us from harrassment/abuse, not filing/refusing to file contempt against other party for violations of orders including missing parenting classes/visitations/notifications/medical care, not negotiating child support with opposing attorney to be entered in temporary orders & at mediation, filing final orders without child support modification/retro included, not requesting psych eval, giving up on discovery, not addressing domestic violence in final orders, & failure to subpoena tax returns/phone records/witnesses/medical records. Violation of Texas Lawyer's Creed by not utilizing utility & all available means & violated probono by accepting indirect compensation in exchange for lessened diligence & not following court procedure for discovery before final hearing. Cost us nearly 9k in retro child support and did not address safety/protection in final order. Daughter's future, our future, was to start being rectified with this case, instead, the rug got pulled out from under us again so he could "pay the bills" eventhough he is the one that dragged out litigation to keep child support low for opposing client. Hope this helps someone avoid our suffering for past year & half.
