Francis Lutie Thompson

I hired Mr. Thompson November 2019 to help with fighting a DVRO that was filed without my knowledge. This RO was so that my ex could pack up our house with all my things I had before him, and our 4 yo daughter and move to Visalia. This was June 25 2019. To this day, Mr. Thompson still has not been ab...le to process a simple DVRO against my ex. This last time in court, I was made a fool. He didn't show, not only that, but he led me to believe my ex had been served, and that a prior mediation appt had been cancelled. The truth was, my ex still hasn't been served, and I missed a mediation appt because he told me it was cancelled. I would've been so much better off on my own, instead, essentially I paid him to make my case even worse. Speaking of restraining orders, I'm already done filling it out, now I just send it in and wait for it to be signed. Then serve him. Boom. Done. He is worthless. Not sure how he can even practice law. But he needs to stop being a villain like the ones he is advocating he is against. Do not hire him. You will regret it.

I don't regret hiring Mr. Thompson for my case. His service is invaluable in a time when the likelihood of getting a favorable resolution to my case was almost impossible. He is very straightforward and sorted out things in just a few meetings. This guy is trustworthy and worth your money. His staff ...are great and organized too. They always informed me of everything regarding my case. Will surely hire him again.

DO NOT HIRE! I hired this guy over a month ago. It’s been well over a month after I signed papers that should of been turned into the courthouse so I could serve the other party. The courthouse still has not received it and it’s been 6weeks and a few days since I signed the finalized papers. I called... the court and asked several times. After many ignored phone calls to this guys office I finally wrote a bad review on yelp(where there are many bad reviews) saying I had to report him to the bar, guess who got a phone call back that day. I am now attempting to get my money back and they are telling me they’re going to bill me for the work that was done, which I’m not really sure what work that was, consultation was free and there was a paper typed up that was never turned in. Either way I’m going to the bar association. DO NOT HIRE HIM It takes 5days for the court to process Papers and give them back its been about 44 since I’ve signed the small packet.

Very dishonest , unprofessional and incompetent lawyer. Kept making continuances on my case and making false promises about my case. Drug my case out for months on end. Clearly does not care about his clients. Spent thousands and got zero results. Highly disorganized and rude staff as well.... Please do yourself a favor and do not use this Attorney.
