Kristina Voorhies Legan

I found Mrs. Legan to be intelligent and well-versed in the law, but disorganized, disinterested and scatter-brained as well. I hired her to handle a non-contested divorce--my ex and I had already come to an agreement prior to initiating the legal part of it. All we needed was to have a detailed decr...ee written up. Dealing with Mrs. Legan was for me by far the most difficult part of the divorce process. I met with her at length to work up a draft of the decree. Somehow, Mrs. Legan managed to lose the draft of the decree she wrote from her computer; then after dodging my calls for several weeks, she transferred me to her associate Corey Sainz and we started all over again. Once we were close to being finished, Ms. Sainz left the practice and I had to start all over again with Mrs. Legan. She managed to burn through almost my entire $5K retainer on a matter than should have been handled a lot more quickly. I NEVER felt as though Mrs. Legan was advocating for me or that she was the slightest bit interested in working to get me a positive outcome with my divorce. I often wonder what would of happened if I had hired a different lawyer. I managed to finish the process with her (after she showed up 2 hours late for our court date) but I deeply regretted hiring her as my attorney. Maybe she cares about some of her clients but I never felt as though she gave a damn about me.

Bright, hardworking, extremely competent, honest, sincere, strong, caring, accessible - these are just a few of the more significant adjectives I would use to describe my experience working with Ms. Voorhies Legan. My case was very complex, with strong international content, and very long and difficu...lt, with every aspect of my divorce hotly contested all the way to a jury trial. Ms. Voorhies Legan never made promises, was always clear with me as to potential outcomes, yet managed to always exceed my own hopes and expectations. And she was always there for me, providing calming advice, as rode the "emotional roller-coaster" so common in a divorce. Professionally, three characteristics stood out the most for me. First, she is truly an expert on Family Code. Throughout my case, I was amazed at how many arguments she defended and won based on her knowledge of Family Code, and at how she was able to properly steer and keep our case on track based on Family Code. Second, her fact retention. I don't believe I have ever met a person, in law or otherwise, who could remember facts or events in such detail and precision. And third, she truly loves and is deeply engaged with her profession. But what impressed me more than anything about Ms. Voorhies Legan, is that she is truly about the children. She is a strong advocate that two good parents should remain strong in the lives of the children, and works hard to assure that the children get the best possible result, based on on the circumstances of the case. I am so happy that I chose Kristina Voorhies Legan as my attorney. I would definitely make the same choice again, and would highly recommend her to anyone that asks.

As far as I am concerned Attorney Kristina Voorhies Legan is the top family law attorney in all of Texas Prior to hiring Attorney Kristina Voorhies Legan I had been involved in a nearly five year divorce battle in El Paso, Texas. My now ex-husband had filed for divorce and tried to take virtually ...all the community property as his own. He was stationed in the military in El Paso and I was living out of state. I had gone through several attorneys in El Paso and some located in other cities in Texas. I had nothing but problems with so many attorneys. They would miss deadlines on filing documents, not return phone calls or emails, not keep me informed about what was going on. The list goes on and on, forcing me to change attorney after attorney. Finally, I was referred to Attorney Kristina Vorrhies Legan. What a God send! Kristina listened to all my concerns and fears. Kristina always promptly returned my phone calls and emails. She kept me informed at every stage of the divorce so I knew what to expect with no surprises. Kristina filed all court documents on time and moved the case along. It spite of my ex-husband and his attorney’s efforts to prolong the case, Kristina brought a five year divorce battle to a prompt and successful conclusion. Kristina’s office staff was outstanding. Not at all like the staffs of other attorneys that seem to run interference for the attorney and keep have you from talking to them, telling you how busy they are and how they are always in court or in a trial when you need to talk to them. No, not Kristina’s staff. When she was out of the office or in court, they got messages to her and got back to me with answers or the information I needed. Every member of Kristina;s staff is a true professional and a pleasure to deal with. I only wish I had known about Attorney Kristina Voorhies Legan when the divorce first began. I am so thankful to her!
