I recently worked with Lopez and his team and couldn't be happier with my services! Professional and helpful in so many ways. Lopez and team took the time to make me feel comfortable and at ease. He was able to walk me through the process in a way that helped me understand all my options. A very positive outcome overall for all involved.

They have done an excellent and professional job handling my divorce case. I have felt supported and that my concerns were heard and understood. Ms. Whitley and her staff have been honest with me about things worth the costs of pursuing vs those that were not financially in my best interest, which I appreciate, and have been zealous advocates on my behalf when the need has arisen. If you want professional, supportive, and honest representation, I can’t recommend them enough.

The Whitley Law Firm has been thorough and responsive from the beginning of my divorce a few years ago up to presently needing a modification. I didn’t hesitate to request their assistance a second time when the need arose. Their office is staffed by detail oriented professionals who diligently took care to make a difficult process as smooth as possible; I highly recommend them.

Miss Whitley dug me out of hole and was able to get a previously horrible lawyer off of the case. She acted quickly to reverse what was turning into a very bad outcome. In the end the truth was revealed, and my ex realized he would not get away with lying in court with my current lawyer.

Oh they gave a convincing song and dance in the beginning. They made me feel like it would be quick and easy. After a year and THOUSANDS of dollars, my relationship with my teenage daughter is ruined. Mrs. Whitley and her firm never advocated for me. Her paralegals take WEEKS to reply to any questions. If you're lucky enough to get a reply, you will be nickeled and dimed for every call, text, and email. Two of my friends and I ended up firing her. I only wish I had fired her sooner. After reading the other negative reviews, it sounds like this is common practice for the Whitley firm. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

James and his team were absolutely phenomenal in helping us with the adoption of our baby girl! From day one he laid out what to expect and guided us through the steps from start to finish. Thank you to everyone there for helping us become a family!

We just wanted to THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH from the bottom of our hearts! Thank you for helping us get through this adoption and making it possible to get it done quickly and seamlessly. You are truly appreciated for all of your efforts and time spent on getting this finalized.

Mr James Peterson was heaven sent. I had reviewed 10 lawyers and a friend of mine suggested him. Turns out he was a reasonable price and very very honest. He didn't waste anytime and got what I needed done exactly as he said. It takes a long time to shop for an attorney, save yourself the time and hire James. Lastly, he is not 5 stars he's 5+. Thanks James for the great service Sincerely, Tom

Mr. Peterson and team are by far the BEST... They made adopting our little girl the best experience ever..

    I searched for over a year for a divorce attorney that I felt comfortable enough to take my case and who's retainer was not $8000! I felt at ease instantly the moment I spoke with Jennifer at our first consultation. I expressed every concern I had and Jennifer listened patiently to every word and concern to help me come up with a game plan. It is evident through my experience of working with Jennifer that she has genuine compassion and concern for her clients and is not driven by a dollar bill. She was strategic in putting together the initial documents to serve my ex- husband to help mitigate any initial volatility that I was expecting on his end once served. Jennifer was a true advocate of trying to handle things through mediation as best as possible so we could avoid an expensive trial. Much to my surprise, my ex and I were able to come up with an agreement and our divorce was settled in about 4 months without a trial! From start to finish, Jennifer and her staff were prompt in communication and they were all extremely pleasant to work with! Jennifer is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the field. I could not have asked for a better experience under the unfortunate circumstances. I would recommend Jennifer to ANYONE who is pursuing a divorce and needs counsel. I am thankful I took my time to find her. Jennifer and her staff are true gems!

    Jennifer and her team did an amazing job on protecting my assets and interests. Divorce can be a nightmare for anyone to go through, but her team made this process as efficient and easy as possible for me. I felt as if I was their only customer which meant the world to have such big support in this unfortunate event. Divorce isn't a quick process, so I appreciated thier very professional, quick, and prompt responses. They were ready to go every step of the way and always kept my best interest at heart. I never thought I would have to go through this, but I was put at ease by them informing me and teaching me every step of the process. They informed me my options and rights. They by far exceeded my expectations, and I would strongly recommend them for anyone going through an unfortunate divorce.

    Had several questions/issues regarding divorce matters and I had no clue where to begin. Plus looking for an attorney is like shopping for a car...tedious and tiresome. Every time I called a law firm, they wanted to schedule a consultation right away and would get back to me. But when I called the Espronceda Law Firm, to my surprise received a call back from an attorney within 30 minutes. Thank you so much Jennifer and Dillon for all your help! I highly recommend The Espronceda Law Firm. Their response time is amazing but most of all, they listen and care!

    Jennifer, Gena, and Brittney all were great helps when it came to my case. All of them had great communication with me through my case and were very patient when it came to all the Covid procedures for court. They even kept me calm through all of this. The fought to get me my rights as a father and get me my time with my baby. If you need a lawyer, I highly recommend Jennifer and her staff. I am grateful to the Espronceda Law Firm. Just amazing people at heart!

    I had an excellent experience working with Jennifer and her team. I was searching for an attorney who would handle my inter-state matter, and Jennifer really impressed me with her knowledge, professionalism, and straight-forward approach. She explained from our first conversation exactly how she would proceed to handle my matter, and I just trusted her from day one. My experience with the entire team was terrific; they communicated regularly, billing was straightforward, and they handled my matter with so much care. This is the attorney for you if you want your matter handled diligently!

    We retained Wilson Brown PLLC for a step-parent adoption case where the other party(biological father) resided in another state . When we first spoke to Eric he felt confident in our case. Eric , Dawn and the rest of the staff were very knowledgeable and professional throughout the case. Calls and emails were answered or returned immediately . When we had concerns they were addressed and put our minds at ease. Everyone involved kept us up to date and prepared us for the hearing . Thanks to Eric and the staff at Wilson Brown , our case was smooth and as little stress as possible . Thankful for all their work . I would definitely recommend them and look into their services if any possible needs in the future.

    Look no further if you need legal assistance with contentious divorce cases with child custody issues. Eric and his staff (Dawn) are extremely experienced, true professionals and it’s been absolute pleasure working with them. Eric held my hand throughout highly contentious, military divorce with timely responses to my numerous questions and helped me navigate the maze of divorce proceedings in a timely manner through motions, mediation and finally divorce decree. His legal service is best value in San Antonio!

    With my whole heart, I am able to leave a "100% PLUS" recommendation of Eric Wilson and his office staff. Eric provided steadfast advice, was extremely professional, calm and has engrained community good-will character. He helped me during an extremely tumultuous divorce, and ensured me that he had my best interest and followed through. Eric and his office staff were heaven sent. I highly recommend Wilson Brown, PLLC.

    We consulted with Margaret in March 2019 to represent my sister for her divorce. From the moment we met Margaret, we knew we had the right person in our corner. Her knowledge and caring demeanor made a very ugly situation as painless as possible. During the entire process, Margaret kept us informed of what was going on and was readily available for any questions. She fought hard for my sister and the outcome was more than favorable. In October of 2020, following the death of my sister's son-in-law and unforeseen death of her daughter to Covid-19, we had to retain Margaret's services to handle the adoption of my sister's grandson. Again, Margaret acted promptly and efficiently. There was never any hesitation on who should handle this very sensitive matter. Yesterday, not even 4 months later, we received the news that the order for adoption had been granted and signed by the judge! Words cannot express the gratitude we have for Margaret.

    Very respectable and caring attorney. She answered my first call attempt from her cell phone.....while on vacation! Unheard of!!!! I’m so thankful for Margaret’s attention regarding my elderly mothers situation. She stayed in constant communication and provided legal knowledge. After all this, she was so kind & understanding when we had to cancel the appointment with her due to my mother moving to another state. Thank you Margaret!!!❤️

    Having known Margaret both socially and professionally for 20 years, I would highly recommend her legal services. She possesses the highest degree of ethical standards and her integrity is bar none. She is knowledgeable in estate planning and has helped me navigate these complicated waters with her expertise. Margaret also represented my daughter through a sticky divorce with ease.

    Margaret handled my will with great professionalism and concern for my personal wishes. Her suggestions and questions were so helpful for this intimate endeavor. The work was done in a timely fashion and she was available for changes as time passed. I would go to her office again if other issues arise.

    I cannot give enough praise to Margaret. I had hired another attorney in the beginning who was basically going to railroad me. She took a large amount of money and was going to do the least amount of work she could get away with. When I fired that attorney and hired Margaret I was pleasantly surprised to find someone who was willing to back me up and go to bat for me. I think my life would have been much worse if it wasn’t for Margaret’s help. I owe her my and my daughter’s life ❤️

      Having known Margaret both socially and professionally for 20 years, I would highly recommend her legal services. She possesses the highest degree of ethical standards and her integrity is bar none. She is knowledgeable in estate planning and has helped me navigate these complicated waters with her expertise. Margaret also represented my daughter through a sticky divorce with ease.

      Margaret handled my will with great professionalism and concern for my personal wishes. Her suggestions and questions were so helpful for this intimate endeavor. The work was done in a timely fashion and she was available for changes as time passed. I would go to her office again if other issues arise.

      I cannot give enough praise to Margaret. I had hired another attorney in the beginning who was basically going to railroad me. She took a large amount of money and was going to do the least amount of work she could get away with. When I fired that attorney and hired Margaret I was pleasantly surprised to find someone who was willing to back me up and go to bat for me. I think my life would have been much worse if it wasn’t for Margaret’s help. I owe her my and my daughter’s life ❤️

    Needed to refer a client who had moved to the San Antonio area. Crista stepped right in and helped! Thanks so much!

    They lied to me about a Motion they claimed to have filed with the court, but had not. I am contemplating whether to sue them for malpractice. I didn't know they had cheated me until my other lawyer, from a different firm, looked into it and the court informed her they had never recieved the Motion. Justin Niedens informed me on multiple occassions that he had filled it, and I was counting on it being filled. I guess he thought I was too dumb to double check.

    These people dont care about your case, they just want you to pay the retainer, and as soon as they do they just stop communicating with you. I cant even get my attorney to respond to my emails, only the paralegal, and it take two weeks for the paralegal to get back with me.

    Crista was very helpful in getting my daughters out of a bad situation. She did a great job in getting me custody of my daughters. Because of her ability to navigate the legal / CPS system they have grown up to be smart strong young women.

    Christa Branch and her team understand what it means to be at a place in your life where you need to ask for help. We all do from time to time. They’re knowledgeable, compassionate, and positive. They have your interests at heart and will work hard to help achieve your goals.

    Atty Ms. Flores was very knowledgeable and understanding of the laws in Texas. She had no problem answering every question I put before her. I am older and have health issues and she had a narrative that she followed which led me astray slightly but we got on track eventually and the point was made with help by my son who also attended the zoom meeting. The 4 was given because the meeting was costly whereas I could have gotten a meeting for free elsewhere. Hence, though, my point.. you pay for the best!

    Whether by phone or in person, contact with this firm usually involves a conversation with a delightful young woman named Eve. She is the front desk person, always with a big smile and a willingness to help.

    We couldn't ask for a more understanding, compassionate and knowledgeable attorney than Susan Wright... and this is just after the initial consult!

    I spoke with Dahvontae to set up an appointment. He was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He explained the process thoroughly and it was a pleasure speaking with him.

    Stay away! Such a rip off! My sister went to them for a divorce.. $8k later, all They did was say they couldn't help her!! Also, beware of paperwork. They try to make you sign a contract saying you won't leave a bad review, hence the lack of honest reviews here!

    I hired Duran law firm to represent me for my dad estate since he did not have a will. Everything he ask me to do , I did and he did his part. He let me know what to expect in court to even what judge we would have. I appreciate him and Jacquelyn for taking care of me and my family . Now I can move forward knowing we got the hard part behind us. Thank you Mr. Duran, Jacquelyn, and the rest of the staff. I can’t thank you enough!!

    I had a child support issues, a few tickets and I felt defeated. Ms. Roberson took the time to explain what was going on and make sure there was a game plan. My cases started before Covid-19 and due to courts being closed it feels like the cases took forever. However she was able to get all warrants cleared and set up payment plans with the courts. All I had to do was listen to her instructions. I recommend Ms. Roberson and if I ever need an attorney again.... SHE IS MY GO TO!

    Roberson Duran Law came highly recommended and is a firm that I highly recommend. I appreciate their integrity and how their lawyers direct clients in the right direction. This law firm looked out for my best interest and has earned my respect and trust.

    I am very appreciative for the help I receive from the lawyers of Roberson Duran. They are thorough, cost-effective and their service continues to exceed my expectations. They are also available whenever I need them to assist quickly with a high degree of professionalism.

    I had the worst experience with this law firm. They are responsive but don’t tell you your being charged for the slightest thing. Example, email response as simple as a question, I was charged the hourly rate of almost $50. Be ready spend mad money. I dropped Mrs. Roberson because my bill was close to $5000 and nothing had been done. (edited today after I posted earlier) And now I get a phone call from the head partner, am I getting charged for that too.? Ain’t funny when you have nothing to lose and a weight is lifted. Thanks for taking money I could have placed elsewhere Jaclyn.
