I retained Farah Ahmed from Patricia Brown & Associates and had a very disappointing experience…read more She would initiate unnecessary work and bill for it without keeping me informed about what was actually happening in my case. Communication was extremely poor -- responses would come at the end of the day, if at all. In one instance, opposing counsel scheduled a hearing and I was not informed until days later. That is simply unacceptable. The billing was filled with charges for "reviewing the case" and "communicating with opposing counsel," yet nothing meaningful was accomplished. It felt like the case was going nowhere despite the money spent. I would not recommend this firm to anyone seeking responsive, transparent, and effective legal representation.

The entire team at Trusler Legal will forever be at the top of my 'favorite people on the planet'…read morelist! The prospect of filing for divorce was the most daunting time in my life. I'd been separated from my now ex-wife for 3 years. She is an attorney and the original plan was that she would draft a decree and we'd both sign and move on amicably. Unfortunately, my ex took an emotional and behavioral turn for the worst and began making outrageous claims against me, threatening to take my children away. I needed help! In researching my options, I decided to pursue the Collaborative model, which put Trusler legal on my list of candidates. I called at least a half dozen firms. Only at Trusler Legal did someone answer the phone who did NOT seem to be 'selling' me on scheduling an initial consultation, at the full hourly rate of $400-$600/hr. On the contrary. All my questions were answered with clarity and confidence. I scheduled a one hour consultation, was not charged a penny, and the consultation lasted nearly 3 hours! Cristi has expert ability to hear everything, slice through the inevitable diatribe (which must flow freely from people facing down a divorce), and set course towards productivity. I gained even more confidence when handed the clear and transparent billing model outline, allowing me to chart my own course. I was not able to pursue the Collaborative model due to the hostility and toxicity of my ex. However, Cristi helped me beyond words in navigating this quagmire. She applied reason, never pressure. While my ex was making wild claims and threatening to push our case to trial, Cristi gave me all the courage and confidence in the world. At times Cristi voiced concerns with regards to my approach and while I respected her opinion, and LOVED her willingness to go on the offensive, I was most impressed that she was able to clearly voice those concerns, explain possible consequences, but in the end apply no pressure, rather advise and do her best to accomplish my goals. My goals were accomplished! My divorce settled in mediation, on my terms. I wish divorce on NO ONE! However, it happens... I've already recommended 2 close friends to Cristi and I will continue to send people in need her way. Understanding the prohibitive cost of divorce, most of the work done on my case was done by 2 of her paralegals, saving me thousand of dollars in fees. Though, it should also be pointed out that Cristi's rate is among the lowest I found in all Austin. Trusler Legal is not just Cristi! She has surrounded herself with a bright, responsive, compassionate team. The team you want on your side if you're in need of a family law attorney. Cristi, Rebekah, Selina, Dawn, and Graydon... THANK YOU!! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!!

This is a family business, run by Attorney Caitlin Haney Johnston, and her sister Amber, with the rest of the team. I learned after residing in Texas for the last five years, that my will and trust from California were invalid in Texas. That was an unpleasant awareness, as it took quite a bit of time to prepare those documents. My job offered "MetLife-Prepaid Legal" as an annual benefit. MetLife even offered an affordable family plan. So we made the call, discussed our needs and shortly thereafter, we were reviewing the draft documents and signing our finals. We needed a Spanish translation for one of our family members. No problem, as their Paralegal Celeste speaks Spanish fluently. The office visit was amazing. They were so patient and understanding with all our questions. Not once did I feel rushed. It was like talking to a family member that knew the law. Over all it was a great experience, and a weight off my shoulders. I can't praise them enough how they helped me breathe easier knowing that this matter was done. Thank you Caitlin, Amber and Celeste for your professional help with this matter. We truly appreciate y'all. Michael C. - Georgetown

When my uncle died without a will, the prospect of going through probate in a far away state seemed…read morelike an impossible task. After interviewing several Austin Estate Attorneys we chose the Haney Law Firm and WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!! They are fantastic! During the lead up to our hearing, they were in constant communication with us, made sure we knew exactly what to expect and helped us gather all of the information both they, the Ad Litem (Court appointed attorney) and the judge needed. Flash forward... I can NOT believe how supremely prepared Caitlan Haney Johnston (our attorney) was for the Probate Hearing. Both the witnesses and I were thoroughly prepped for the testimony we would be expected to give and, by the time we walked into the courtroom, we were all completely comfortable with what to expect. The hearing went exactly as we were told it would by Caitlan and she stayed with us to make sure all of the post hearing paperwork was filled out correctly including the stamped copies of the judge's orders. The next day I received both calls and emails from Amber (the amazing paralegal) and Caitlan making sure we knew exactly what the court expects of us and the time lines. I could not have asked for more!!! The Haney Law Firm is the absolute "Best of the Best!!!"

How do you find the words to describe the worth of your quality of life? The worth of your…read morechildren's future and best interest? The worth of less conflict and stress? The worth of your safety, sleep, time, and financial means? Divorce and custody matters can be life altering. One choice can greatly change the course and outcome. Making the right choices are difficult when you are scared, vunerable, or facing the complex issues that are common during a family law matters. However, the single MOST IMPORTANT choice you will make in a family law matter is who you choose to represent you. Last year I cringed, with my stomach in knots, at the thought of hiring another lawyer. After four years of suffering through constant litigation, I said enough. I began researching, and was on a mission to find the best law firm for our family, particularly for our children. We needed someone that understood high conflict. We needed someone who cared about what really is in the best interest of the children. We needed someone that understood our past legal experiences, and our need to feel we could trust again. Today, we couldn't be more happy and relieved with the choice we made. I could say all the things that help you feel warm and fuzzy. I could say all the things Evans Family Law greatly possesses and surpasses- Professionalism, efficiency, tactfulness, communication, strategy, and attention to detail. Or, I could just say what is most important. We hired the best person to represent our family, and most importantly our children. I absolutely believe our custody matter was treated as if it were our lawyers own. Evans Family Law settled our ongoing high conflict case, carried us through the adoption process and ensured our children will have a future that aligns with their best interest. A future that includes an actively involved, nuturing, and supportive father. Most importantly, they enabled us to gain our joy and quality of life again. We will recommend Evans Family Law over and over again. I will never find adequate words to describe how grateful we are. Our heartfelt thanks goes to Jimmy, Jenni, Katherine and the entire firm at Evans Family Law Group.
