Good Lawyer

He won a Domestic Violence restraining order for me and it was a true blessing. It would have ruined my life if it was ordered against me. I am forever in his debt. There is a lot that has happened I was absolutely railroaded by the other side. I have so much that could have gone so wrong. He really ...helped me

Great Attorney

Mettias handled my divorce and child custody case for me. He knows that hes doing. He listens and he cares. That is what was important to me. How often can you find an attorney that genuinely cares about the safety and well being of a complete strangers kids.

PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!

I'm not sure how I will sum up my experience in such a short little box, but i will try because I do not want anyone else to have the experience as I have had (and am still going through). This law firm is a complete joke, please do not trust them with ANYTHING. First things first, I hired this firm ...to help me get full custody of my children..I had to type up a very long response for my case, which I did and sent it to my lawyer ONE MONTH prior to my mediation date. They did not file my response through the court until ONE BUSINESS DAY before mediation. Mediation was scheduled for Monday and my response was filed on the Friday before. When I showed up to mediation the mediator did not have access to my response because it was not filed well enough in advance. I sat in mediation and had to fight and defend myself the entire time because she only had my ex's papers to read in advance. After this happened I was NOT happy and told this firm that I wanted a full refund for completely screwing me over. They refused to give me a full refund but said they would refund me a little over $1,000.00 and that after I signed the power of attorney back to myself I would have my refund check within 7-10 business days. It has now been over THREE AND A HALF months since I signed the power of attorney, and I still have not received my refund check. No one will return my phone calls, or my emails, and every time I call their office they tell me that "everyone is busy" or "everyone is out of the office".

He Promised to Fight for Me and He Did

Jimmy couldn't promise me anything. I appreciated that but he did promise one thing. That he would fight like hell for me. He did that. He was aggressive and he cared. He is smart and because of him I now have protected my child.

Excellent Team!

I enjoyed my experience with this law firm. Everyone was so helpful to give me answers. I didn't end up hiring them due to not going through with a divorce but they were extremely knowledgeable in my consult and I appreciated that they did free consults. It gave me an opportunity to feel them out but... also feel more at ease knowing what direction I needed to take.
