From Handford

If I was asked 19 years ago or 10 years ago, the reviews would be higher-because honestly, Mr. Sossi handled two different family matters with professionalism and with relative ease. In fact, when I retained Mr. Sossi 10 years ago, I lived in California and reached out to him to handle a situation th...rough the Texas courts. Hence why I consulted him on a more recent situation without hesitation. My current experience with Mr. Sossi has taken a turn and not for the better. I consulted with Mr. Sossi and paid a retainer. I did not sign the contract as things changed fairly quickly with my situation. I emailed Mr. Sossi to request a refund, which he agreed to send. This was six months ago and no refund. I was told via email, a text message, and by phone that the money was sent or would be sent. It would have been better to indicate that no refund will be sent opposed to stringing me along for months. I would have preferred to handle this privately.

Terrible attorney you have been warned

I hired Matt 1 year ago now for child support and custody of my child. The entire time Matt was my attorney he rushed, he was never prepared. He talked down about me to the other attorney and made everything seem like a joke. Matt was terrible in each court appearance so much so that in one of the co...urt appearances the judge yelled at him. If I wouldn't have hired him I would have saved my money or if I would have read these reviews. He would often call me the day of telling me that we have court. He even sent me home from court on several days just to call me back. I read the other reviews and they are all exactly like my situation. He rushes into court not sharing information with you, he doesn't listen to what you want or hope to accomplish, he will work against you because he thinks he knows whats better for you. In the end 1 year later I am in the same situation out of money and nothing literally nothing has change. I don't have my child and my child support payments have not gone down.

I flagged this review from my account. Nothing from AVVO. Is this an acceptable practice to put a review from an anonymous person? Is it acceptable to place a review effecting my business that has no bases in fact? Unacceptable AVVO.

STAY AWAY

Do not use matt sossi as an attorney. He is unprofessional, will only contact you when he needs something and lies to you about the contract. He rushed us in the final day of my divorce and i was even told that he never brought up my offers to the other attorney to try to come to an agreement. He wen...t out of his way to try to get extra money out of it. I have emails from him where he disrespects me continuously. There was never one point when i thought he was a good hire but he is the perfect example of getting what you pay for. I had terms with my ex wife and somehow he was able to make it so i ended up paying more and got totally screwed in every way. He also kept giving me fake deadlines telling me we had to be done by noon at 11:50 then 12:01 came around and he switched it to 1:30. He will try to argue every part of this but i will gladly show anyone my correspondence with him. I have let the texas bar know and i implore people to stay away from him.

Ryan Howard. You sent me a message claiming that we entered into a flat fee contract and wanted money back. When I provided you the contract you signed you was not a flat fee contract you threatened that you would take me to the state bar. You arranged a meeting at my office to talk about this situation. You never showed. I am demanding that this review be taken down immediately. Matt Sossi

Worse Child custody lawyer i have ever dealt with

Matt Sossi said he would be there every step of the way but he failed to return phone calls text or keep me inform about my case. He never gave me paperwork stating the orders that the judge put into place. He didnt sit with me or help me during court dates he sat with the opposing lawyer and laughed... and joked with him the whole time. He talked badly about me to the opposing lawyer with me sitting right there and made everything out to be a joke. He never got visitation set in stone , this lawyer has done nothing for me and i paid him more then what he was worth and feel as though i got screwed over this court date has been dragging on for a long time and the opposing cleint should be held in contempt but Matt didnt want to play that card. This lawyer leaves you in the dark and makes you feel as though your not important and that your an idiot he thinks hes above everyone and does no wrong its pathetic. I would not hire him if i was you, you will lose everything and be made to be a joke. Genesis Lindsey

Ms. Lindsey I can not comment on your case because I had an ethical duty not to violate attorney client privilege. I waited until the State Bar of Texas reviewed your complaint before I responded. As the State Bar found no evidence of attorney misconduct I am asking that you take down this review. I will wait 30 days before I file legal action against you for damages that I am incurring because of this post.

For a last minute hire, he was excellent..

Matt soss called a week ago returning my call to him for representation with a case against my son's father. He was in the perfect price range for me. Met Matt 2 days after our initial phone call and employed him to help assist me with the case. A few days later I received information via email in re...gards to the case which I was very satisfied with. Although this case was a simple one in my opinion I was not confident enough to get across what I needed to say and was sure he would be able to relay what I felt was best for my son, which he did.. he was prompt to the court house and well prepared. Very sweet individual . I'm so glad I received a call back from him.. I would definitely recommend him to others . Thank you Matt and Brian :)
