I understand it is legal aid and free services but there are ways to be professional & he was not.

Had a few appointment meetings with him through legal aid because I had a eviction situation that I felt was handled very wrongly, had a lot of personal and sentimental items taken from the home including my little brothers deceased ashes along with a lot of my daughters belongings that are irreplace...able. He stated he would send a demand letter to my old landlord and for me to reach back to him. I sent more than a few emails even asking for a simple answer and I was completely ignored. A simple we are no longer taking your case or any answer would have been appreciated so I knew what further steps I would need to take especially to possibly receive back some of my sentimental items that again can not be replaced. Also emailed him about my old landlord stalking my social media.

Ghosted

I was contacted my Mr McBride through legal aid for a divorce. After 2 hours of texting with him about the details he ghosts me. No explanation or reason. This is unprofessional, rude behavior and honesty just cruel.

As of this writing, I have two one star reviews, which are both from applicants who applied for legal assistance, were provided with free legal advice, but were not accepted as clients. I think folks can see for themselves why they were not accepted. After they didn't get what they wanted, they lashed out with negative reviews online. Sadly, some folks have a toxic entitlement mentality. Interviewing an applicant and providing free legal advice does not obligate me to accept the person's case.

Mr McBride shows that he doesn’t care.

I contacted legal aid for support in me and my spouses separation situation, and mr. Steven McBride got back with me exclusively over txt for some reason, he accepted my case and asked for all my information as well as my family (children, spouse) etc. when I had questions he didn’t answer them he ju...st asked me more questions. When I finally had enough txt conversations I asked if we could speak on the phone and he preceded to ignore my messages. After 40 min I messaged him again saying this was unprofessional and he said one word.... “driving” after another half hour he didn’t answer. I got upset and he didn’t answer any questions and just sent me a text saying “thank you for your interest in our services. We are sending you a letter closing your application and confirming that we do not represent in this matter. Have a good day, sir.” Real piece of work. I don’t recommend Steven L McBride

Jeremy applied for assistance from my non-profit law firm, Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas. Due to funding restrictions, we were not able to accept Jeremy's case for full representation. He was given a free consultation and free legal advice relevant to his legal problem and was sent a letter closing his application and confirming that we did not represent him in this matter. Due to attorney-client confidentiality, I cannot reveal what his legal problem was or what advice was given to him. However, all of this is fully documented in Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas's electronic case management system. Unfortunately, Jeremy chose to go online and make false representations concerning what actually happened.

I had a custody battle going on and Steven was with me every step of the way. He was always responsive always on his stuff. I was very happy with his services. Lets just say im happy with the outcome and get to say i will never have my daughter taken away. Highly recommend.
