Well versed in Texas Family Law

I hired Paula around seven years ago. I have re-hired her regularly since then because she is phenomenal. She knows Texas Family Law like the back of her hand. Paula guided me through my legal issues, and I trusted her advice. I wholeheartedly believe she is the reason my family is intact. We ar...e in a happier place, and we are very thankful for her expert help.

Gave her 1 Star cause you can’t give 0.

Paula Thomas is a danger to the families of El Paso. She will sign a contract and take payment with no intention of representing her clients. She has called me when she thinks she is calling the other party (who she does not represent) and show her deceitful side. She is uninterested in the facts of... a case and is fighting a personal vendetta. When she gets caught in lies, she runs and becomes really awful. Stay away from this woman. She will say something to your face and pretend she is representing you and then sabotage you behind your back because she has a mess of a personal life that she’s litigating through her clients lives. Stay away from this mental health mess.

Does not respond and very incompetent

I hired Paula to make changes to a court document. She told me that she could make the changes for a flat fee of $900. After almost three months and little communication, I received the new document. None of the changes that we agreed on had been made. I tried to call several times and I was always t...old that someone would call me back. I waited weeks without a callback. In the end she submitted the unchanged document to the court, without my signature or permission. She told me that there is nothing I can do about it. She told me to stop calling her and her staff. If I want any changes, then I will need to pay an additional $1,500. She also stated that, she would bill me extra for any phone calls to her or her staff to discuss the changes. Paula was recommended to me by a friend and I am now going to have to hire another attorney. I do not recommend her to anyone. I don’t know if she is just overwhelmed right now or if she always provides bad service, but her and her staff are completely incompetent.

Rude, awful, unstable

Most unprofessional lawyer i have ever seen. Not very bright, not very knowledgeable about case law. Honestly I think she has some emotional issues.

Compassionate but a fighter

I recently went through a very complex divorce. I was frustrated, and at times depressed due to the process. Ms. Paula Thomas and staff were always calm, supportive, and patient. Most of the delays were not their fault. They constantly and calmly explained details to me. One of the most important at...tributes to me, in any business or establishment, is the knowledge of the firm. Ms. Thomas and staff are very knowledgeable. It was very noticeable in court and in talking to some of her colleagues. Despite the fact that divorce is not a pleasant experience, Ms. Thomas is worth having on your side.

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.
