Smart, Dedicated & Patient

Nancy is like family. She truly cares about the cases she takes on, and works hard to earn the best outcome possible. She is not the "standard" lawyer that is out to take your money and get a quick, easy fix. We worked with Nancy for 3yrs, and that is not a reflection on her. She took over our c...ase after an incompetent attorney almost ruined any chances we had to protect our children. She stepped right in and rejected signing an order that we felt pressured into. She was very honest about our situation and gave us very real possible outcomes. She was an advocate for our children and insisted that psych evals be completed and supervised visits take place. Her hard work also resulted in a Guardian Ad Litem being assigned to our case, giving our children a voice to express their feelings and wishes. Through many appearances in court where the opposing attorney and client wasted hours, just to reset court dates, we were able to get to know Nancy and learn about her experience, life, and family. Nancy Perry Eaton is an amazing attorney and our family is safer because of her.

Best in Central Texas

Hired Nancy for a military divorce, she is a very knowledgeable and experience lawyer within this practice area. She is equipped to handle the complexities and unique difficulties that military divorce presents. She is very quick when responding to emails and calls, keeps you updated in every step o...f the way.

Very unprofessional and rude

We hired Nancy to help with an adoption process. We were optimistic based on reviews and our initial meeting with her only to be met with a lawyer who didn’t respond, was rude when she did respond, blame us for mistakes (to the other party even!) that we didn’t make, tried to push us to go the “easy ...way” and take short cuts we were not willing to make. Her para legal was just as awful and refused to talk to my husband because my name was listed first on the case (HE WAS THE ONE ADOPTING!). Instead of feeling comfortable and ready for court and positive about our case she made us have more stress and hopelessness and we have moved to look for another attorney. Sure she can give a good price but it was not worth the nightmare she caused by this open and closed case. Very disappointed beware.

Since I was the only one working on the case, the client was never contacted by the paralegal and the paralegal never received any message from them, so we're confused as to how the paralegal refused to talk to her. State Bar rules prohibit me from discussing the case with anyone other than the client who signed the contract. The client's husband did not sign the contract, and therefore, was not our client. Once we received the permission from the client, it was not a problem. This was explained to them. And there was no court in which to be ready. I was only hired to contact the father and send him the affidavit relinquishing parental rights, which I did. Perhaps another attorney would be a better fit.
