Dustin G is Personal, Professional, Compassionate, Respectful and delivered RESULTS!! Phenomenal Defense Atty! Simply The best!!

While he might be competent in other areas, I don't recommend him for family court matters.

Did not get to experience Jared Gilthorpe's potential in his field due to poor communication and lack of professionalism from himself and his assistant. Both were negligent about my case even after receiving URGENT notices. If it weren't for my husband's perseverance in our case, outcome would've been a disaster. I would NOT recommend this attorney to anyone. The assistant Maribel Figueroa has ZERO vocation for her position, hence will ignore red flags in your case!!

Thank you so much for your help.

I had a consultation with Mr. Bayless. I was very impressed. In my former career I knew many attorneys. He is top notch.

These are some great people to do business. Mr Bayless is a real down to earth attorney and knows his business well. He listens to what your needs are and tells you what his firm can do for you. I have been doing business with Mr Bayless for 6 years. I live in west Houston and his office is in Cleveland Texas. Now does that tell you how good he is. If you have a legal problem or a legal business that needs to be taken care of . Give them a call. You won't go wrong.

Dan and his staff are amazing. I can't even begin to express how much they helped us.

Mr Bayless handled our adoption, he's a very good attorney! He made this process wonderful and easy for our family, his office staff is awesome. He has fair rates and works with you. I would definitely use him again if i have any other legal matters.

Unfortunately I have had more attorneys than I can count. I’m a single mom of four daughters and it seems I am constantly being harassed or taken to court by their father. I have had several attorneys over the years and I can vouch that all the attorneys I have had, that Mark Porter exceeds expectations. He is very prompt, always available, goes above and beyond. You never have to speak to several legal assistants that have no clue what is going on. Going through court and custody hearings is a very stressful matter alone, and having Mr. Porter as your representation will ease as he is laid back and calms you as well as he knows the system. He has a heart of gold and truly fights for his clients best interest. Plus he makes you laugh constantly with all his jokes, to make lite of situations. I know a lot of us don’t care for attorneys and have a certain perception, but he changes the view I have had on legal representation, and I am confident he will do the same for you!

Helped my mother to be treated with dignity. Very easy to reach and always professional. Highly recommend this man for the job.

Incompetent. He made little to no effort to adequately advise or protect his client or her possessions. He failed to acknowledge domestic violence as the primary issue and did not file or proceed as he should have in a volatile domestic violence situation, requiring the hiring of a second attorney. Basically he sat around and smiled and hobnobbed with opposing counsel, further invalidating the seriousness of the situation. If you are female avoid him.

Went for a new will. Friendly, expedient attorney. Really nice guy

Be careful paying in advance.

These guys know the law and stay on top of it all for you. They were also the best priced. Please remember to hit the like button if my review helped you in anyway.

I was tired of the loop holes that were in my previous lawyers paperwork...so I had to bring out the big guns...aka Dennis Slate. I needed someone who would fight for me this time, and he went ba**s to the wall. The outcome really couldn't have been any better.

Best Family Lawyers In Houston, Worth Every Penny, Very Professional, Ms.Shirley Was Hands Down Amazing, Walked Me Trough The Entire Process, I Was Relieved Having Her Represent Me, Would Definitely Hire Again With Out Hesitation ❤

Hiring an attorney can be just as stressful as the situation you want representation for; thankfully Dennis was recommended by several of my clients and he did not disappoint. With our type of case we required an attorney that was both confident and direct--Dennis embodied that. I am indebted for his expertise and responsiveness. I highly recommend Dennis and his Associates.

I dismissed by agreement my 1st attorney who was a family friend because he was not brazen enough to stand up for my rights as a father and more importantly what needed to be done to protect my son from his own narcissistic psycho mother, step sister and her parents. I have been through hell and back defending against serious false criminal allegations. I thought you protect your children by monitoring their social media. My advice now, stay out of your step daughter's phone because when you catch her committing a criminal act and cheating on her boyfriend she will burn you to the ground with heinous lies. Secondly as in my case do not run a business with a woman like I married you may find out like I did that she is embezzling the payroll tax money for her own piggy bank and planning to send you off to prison to cover up her crimes while she is enjoying an affair with your son's baseball coach. There are thousands of attorneys to choose from but you need a professional like Dennis Slate. If you want an attorney who will do what is in the best interest of your child and make sure you are not jerked around by the opposing counsel then hire Dennis Slate! Dennis and his firm are the team you need. Their are no words sufficient enough to express my deep gratitude of how Dennis used documented evidence and his skill to finally return my son to me. Dennis also has a paralegal Ryann and she is a very skilled intricate part of the Slate team! Take it from me Dennis Slate delivers and he cuts out the unnecessary BS in the system when possible and he doesn't let opposing counsel run the show by any means! He may be a man of few words but he is a bull dog in court and he quickly shreds liars on the witness stand.

Juliann personally handled my divorce during COVID. She was fantastic and professional. She helped me navigate the unknown territory and talked me through every aspect. She mediated in a way that conjured a healthy relationship between myself and my ex husband and our children. She was always cheerful yet meant business. She fought for us and what was right. I’ve been very happy with the outcome and enjoyed working with her. Would never want to use anyone else for family law!

Looking for a lawyer is not easy. You want one that is strong, tough, and knows the law. Juliann is a right attorney for you! She will explain and help you with every step of the process. Very professional, great communicator, respones to your needs in timely manner, and understands everything that involving in a case. I highly recommend Juliann for any Family Law matters.

Mrs. Karenko is very knowledgeable! She will help you through anything and make your life so much better off! She is the best. Give her a call for any family law! The staff is amazing and friendly.

Mrs. Karenko went above and beyond for my case. She was a blessing to us I would strongly recommend her to anyone.

After meeting with two other attorneys I was feeling discouraged about my situation. Thankfully I came across the Karenko law firm. Upon our first meeting Julianne took the time to hear out my situation and look at all the evidence I had to support what I was fighting for. Julianne has a pit bull instinct about her which is definitely welcoming when your hiring an attorney to have in your corner. My number one priority was my children and Julianne was very passionate about making my kids a priority in the case and my rights as their father. I couldn’t be happier with my experience being her client and would recommend her without a doubt!!!

Essex Law Firm went above and beyond helping me with my divorce. Mrs. Essex and her team are professional, honest, and attentive. They were always there to make sure that I understood everything and were completely honest and open when giving advice. Their patience with me, understanding of my situation, and advice truly helped me through my divorce. Mrs. Essex also understands the importance of doing things in a timely manner and will not waste time with unnecessary matters. Their online portal was extremely helpful for submitting documents and communicating with Mrs. Essex. I highly recommend Essex Law Firm because without them I would not have accomplished everything Mrs. Essex did for me. Essex Law Firm is truly a gift to me and I will forever appreciate them.

Choosing an attorney to represent me was not an easy task but I'm glad that I chose The Essex Law Firm. From the first phone until everything was finalized you can tell their whole team's focus is to make sure they had their client's best interest in mind. They made a very difficult life change much more manageable and were all very compassionate for the situation. Their communication was second to none, I knew that if I had a question if would be answered in a timely manner and they ensured that I fully understood. It was very obvious that Ms. Essex was well versed and to current law, and was "protective" of my decisions. Overall I wanted fair & knowledgeable representation and that's exactly what I received. If anyone finds themselves in need of a great & honest attorney I highly recommend The Essex Law Firm.

Ms. ESSEX is beyond an amazing attorney!! She is very easy to communicate with and very responsive! Her entire staff was responsive and kind through this very difficult process. She will always speak truth and is very knowledgeable in her field! I would not use anyone but her ever! She cares about my case and my children and took it very serious! She fought for me and my children’s rights and was able to get the case resolved quickly considering the complexity of the case. I can not express enough that if you are having child support or child custody issues she is in fact the expert! Her pricing is wonderful for the service you receive! Even after my case was over her and her staff reached out to check on us. She is a straight shooter and will not waste tour time and the money is well spent. I am forever thankful for her and her staff!! Words can’t express how pleased I am with Essex law firm!

Ms. Essex and her team were professional and efficient when getting my divorce done. They were up front about cost and there were no surprise fees. The Essex team kept their word every time and that is hard to find these days. I would highly recommend them.

I highly recommend Mrs. Essex, Sean and her team of professionals. Not very long ago, I contacted her office about a divorce case. Sean was the most friendly amazing person to talk to. He put me at ease and introduced me to Mrs. Essex for consultation. Throughout my divorce case, I engaged with them several times and they are truly knowledgeable, experienced and easy to work with. I love the way they communicated with me throughout the case and at end they congratulated me for for great results. I’m extremely happy that I chose Mrs. Essex law firm. She is truly amazing person , experienced, and is confident in obtaining great results.

She will always speak truth and is very knowledgeable in her field! I would not use anyone but her ever! She cares about my case and my children and took it very serious! She fought for me and my children’s rights and was able to get the case resolved quickly considering the complexity of the case. I can not express enough that if you are having child support or child custody issues she is in fact the expert! Her pricing is wonderful for the service you receive! Even after my case was over her and her staff reached out to check on us. She is a straight shooter and will not waste tour time and the money is well spent. I am forever thankful for her and her staff!! Words can’t express how pleased I am with Essex law firm!

    Ms. Essex and her team were professional and efficient when getting my divorce done. They were up front about cost and there were no surprise fees. The Essex team kept their word every time and that is hard to find these days. I would highly recommend them.

    I highly recommend Mrs. Essex, Sean and her team of professionals. Not very long ago, I contacted her office about a divorce case. Sean was the most friendly amazing person to talk to. He put me at ease and introduced me to Mrs. Essex for consultation. Throughout my divorce case, I engaged with them several times and they are truly knowledgeable, experienced and easy to work with. I love the way they communicated with me throughout the case and at end they congratulated me for for great results. I’m extremely happy that I chose Mrs. Essex law firm. She is truly amazing person , experienced, and is confident in obtaining great results.

Mr. Schmitz is a fantastic attorney. I contacted his office to handle my high conflict case after hiring four other attorneys. My case was very messed up, and it was highly stressful. I was delighted with the results I got in the trial. Mr. Schmitz is very knowledgeable about family law. He taught me a lot as well; I will be graduating next week in paralegal studies. He returns phone calls and emails quickly. He is personable and helped me to calm down. Mr. Schmitz restored my faith in attorneys. His paralegal, Molly, is terrific as well. He is more expensive than other attorneys, but well worth it. Do not waste money on other attorneys.

Excellent attorney. I’ve had him on retainer for the better part of 5 years. 2 modifications and one contempt hearing, and we haven’t lost yet. He is very knowledgeable, not only of what is possible but of the judges and other attorneys that he has faced over the years. I appreciate that he is not a tell you what you want to hear attorney, but will tell you the truth, and this is what you need. When our trial came up each time he was fully invested into it and came well prepared. He is efficient with time and is not going to waste your money. You really won’t find a better attorney to be on your side.

I am so grateful for the diligent representation of Wilfried Schmitz on my behalf in the following child support matters: establishment, enforcement and modification. Especially since I am an out of state respondent in the hearings in Houston, I fully trust that Wilfried comes prepared time and time again to defend my case and to ensure the reasonable goals I have are ordered by the courts in the best interests of my daughter. He's cut to the chase, here are the facts, here's what the law allows and doesn't allow type of lawyer that I will continuously rely on for all my Texas litigation needs.

Wilfried was very courteous and professional. He got my fathers right immediately with seeing my son even before going in front of the judge. He’s honest and his staff is polite! I highly recommend him and his team. I was referred to him from a well respected judge in Fort Bend which the case was in galveston county. Thank you Mr. Schmitz Frankie

When you meet Wilfried Schmitz, he has a likeable personality and a funny sense of humor - "an old country lawyer". When he walks into the courthouse everyone seems to know him and like him and he definitely doesn't come across like the Texas Hammer. But don't let his easygoing demeanor fool you. He is extremely experienced, knowledgable, intelligent and insightful and he and his staff will work tirelessly advocating on your behalf. No matter how complex the issues, he will make organization out of chaos and explore every angle in order to give you the best representation possible. I feel very fortunate I chose him to represent me in my divorce case.

Best family law attorney around. It is extremely difficult for a man to find a good divorce and custody attorney in the State of Texas, and the Enos Law Firm knocked it out of the park for me. I recommend this law firm to anyone that has custody issues or is going through a divorce. This law firm will exceed your expectations!

Best family attorney in Houston. Got me custody of my children in Galveston county. Very tough to do. He did it as promised.

I was represented Pro Bono by this law firm. I quickly realized the lack of care within their representation. I was lied to and manipulated into signing documents in order to keep my case at low cost. When I called to question the process, I was ignored. I called back several times and finally heard back from Mr. Enos. I broke down in tears asking for answers. Mr. Enos replied, "Take your crazy self somewhere else." He used personal information to insult me when I questioned his firm. He is fully aware that I was diagnosed with PTSD from all of the abuse in my marriage. Not going to court caused irreparable damage to my family as I was never given the chance to speak with a judge about the abuse within my marriage. I was told to sign documents with promises of an eventual court date but the firm stopped returning my calls once I signed the papers. He is probably a good lawyer when he wants to be but for my case he was negligent and corrupt.

Very professional and considerate of what their clients are going through financially and emotionally.

I wish I'd done my divorce myself. They didn't return phone calls and didn't do what they said they would do in a timely manner. Overall they are pleasant to deal with. They said I would be charged a flat fee for my uncontested divorce, but turned around and charged me an extra $1000. I have heard other attorneys are much worse. Just a rip off. I guess this is par for the course with attorneys. I feel ripped off and just overall betrayed at a time of emotional strain and upheaval in my life.
