Review Hilary Unger

Powerful Lawyer

Posted by

Hilary Unger did an excellent job on fighting CPS to give my son age 7 months back in my full custody. She speaks truthfully with sharp points. She has a knowledge about Deaf rights. She has reviewed very carefully on our case- I mean EVERY details. Many lawyers are unwilling to take our case to fight with CPS because they are so scared of CPS. But Hilary is the only one who willing to keep fighting. The case lasted five months- tough battle. My husband and I highly recommend you to call Hilary, she will promptly attention to your cases. We are very grateful and blessed to have her as our lawyer, we won't forget her. If any future something bad happen, we will use her again.

I have found Hilary to be a very caring and capable attorney, she has kept me informed about our case as it progressed. Although she is busy she always is prompt at returning phone calls and answering emails and text. I appreciate the fact that she takes her position seriously and is delegent in her defense of her clients. I appreciate every effort she has made in my behalf. Thanks Hilary your hard work has not gone unnoticed.

She is Dangerous for Houston citizens

Posted by

Hilary Unger has released repeat homicidal killers to kill innocent citizens here in Houston. She is making Houston streets unsafe for all of us & is a total waste of taxpayers money. We must all work to get her out of office before she releases more violent killers back on the Houston streets to terrorize us.

failed me all the way around

Posted by

Worst lawyer I've ever come across. All the promises she made me never happened. She never sent me paper work of what motions had been filed or what she was doing for me. She just kept asking me. For money. 10k down the drain. She cancelled mediation at her office. Come to find out everyone was at her office waiting except for her and I. Missed court dates and didn't even tell me we had court. Wouldn't answer her calls text or emails. Told me she would get my drug test admitted into my case and she couldn't do it. She told me. Don't. Worry about it... 2 years later my babies are still trapped in cps. And she hasn't even so much as reached out to me to try and return Atleast a portion of my money... And still had the nerve to tell me she wanted. 15k for trial "and I still might loose. Told me. To quit my. Job, put my stuff in storage, and break the lease on my apartment and go to rehab. I did exactly as she told me to. She said she would be there for me. And knew people there. Bull, she never answered her phone or txt again... The board will hear from me. Next

Hilary Unger's response: I realize that given the particulars of your case, you are disappointed, as I was, given that we all were relying on the court’s rulings and the promises from the ad litem (which were not kept).  Even so, I continued to fight for you and your family.  I went out to visit with potential placements, filed appropriate motions, and appeared for you in court.   I also sat next to you during mediation; mediation was not missed.  Ultimately, while any decision about placement is made by the court, great deference is always given to CPS.  The rest of your statements are misleading, but I am bound by privilege not to address them in detail on a public site.  However, I will be free to address the matters of your drug tests, rehab, and your other statements more fully in response to any grievance, should you elect to file one.   Additionally, I note that you have been represented by new counsel for a period of time, and I cannot account for what has occurred since you switched attorneys.     Finally, you have never requested a return of fees, but that is always a subject I am willing to discuss.

Worst lawyer ever

I grew up in a family full of lawyers. I payed Hilary and she did nothing for me. I fought cps for almost 5 years. Hilary was late to every court date, every meeting, and every mediation. Several times she cancelled my court dates due to "personal reasons" or that she booked too many appointments in one day. After my case was over I received transcripts of what cps and the foster parents were offering to me, Hilary was actually telling me the opposite!
