For several years, l've had the support and exceptional guidance of Chad Williams and his team. My…read moreexperience with them has been nothing short of life-changing. Surpassing any expectation I held for legal representation, especially in such a sensitive and emotionally charged chapter of life. They have listened intently and demonstrate being capable of strategically dissecting the intricacies of my case. Their combination of compassion and legal acumen is remarkably rare, and it's what sets this practice apart. Over the years, our interactions encompassed a broad spectrum of family law matters, including complex custody arrangements and ongoing modifications. Throughout this journey, Mr Williams and his paralegal, Mrs Leinneweber consistently demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness, and a deep commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for my family and me. I would, and often do, recommend them to families needing representation.

We chose him because he is board certified, that is important to me. Price wise, he charges about…read morethe same or a little more as other lawyers for the same services. To me his services were worth every dollar. On a personal level he is great, personable, easy to talk to and does seem to care and help you out. Although he was in court often his secretary would always be available and knowledgable. She would return calls promptly when a call was rarely missed and did keep in contact with us even when the "courts" were uneventfully moving slow. We didn't know a thing about the court process and he explained every step of the way to ease our nervousness. I would recommend him to anyone who seeks a family lawyer involving kids.

Pathetic representation! I hired Corey Clemence to defend me in a criminal case and he wasted 5…read moremonths of my time waiting on video evidence that I told him over and over again they were not going to turn over. We eventually decided it was best he remove himself from the case and I ended up representing myself because he was so ineffective! If you want good representation this is not the place to find it. Matter of fact it seems to me he did the absolute minimum as possible and was content sitting on his hands delaying my case over and over some of which was for his own personal vacation while I sat without a car as it was seized racking up impound fees. I'm in total regret of hiring this firm I expected better representation but instead I got a weak attorney!

Do not ever hire or even consider. Save yourself the money and heartache when he does nothing to help you. He's an alcoholic claiming to be sober but by the way he couldn't stop fidgeting and seemed very on edge, agitated really, and couldn't stop rolling his eyes in the back of his head I don't know how sober he really is. I definitely will never retain him as my attorney and will encourage everyone to cross him off the list. ID GIVE ZERO STARS IF THEY LET ME.

My family and I hired Defoore to handle some legal issues. He quoted us a total fee, with half that…read moreamount as his retainer. He said if our original petition was accepted, the retainer was all we would pay. During our initial consultation Defoore all but promised to work magic with our case. The only magic he worked was his disappearing act after he got our money. When several months went by without any progress report on our case we tried to get in contact with him for an update. Getting any kind of response from him proved to be almost impossible. When he finally talked to us he flat-out lied, claiming our petition was denied. He was also rude and dismissive, as if we were bothering him by asking questions. We fired Defoore and hired a very competent attorney to clean up his mess. The new attorney discovered our petition was never filed. At best, if Defoore just 'overlooked' filing the petition then he is incompetent. At worst, if he intentionally did not file our petition then lied, claiming it was denied, so he could charge us double what we had already paid then he is highly unethical and, in my feeling, bordering on criminal. I DO NOT recommend hiring Defoore for any important matters. I only gave him one star because negative stars are not an option.

I was having issues with my divorce attorney and was guided by an individual to come talk with…read moreClaudia. I paid a consultation fee to talk to her. We had discussed the overall cost of her services. A few days later, after giving it consideration, I called her office. The assistant got back with me but the cost had gone up. I refuted the price discrepancy with the assistant and was informed that she would talk with Claudia and would get back with me. Later, I had received a return call and was informed that Claudia had decided not to take my case and advised me to seek out another attorney that could help me. Because of the bait and switch tactic about cost. I don't believe that I could trust an attorney that does something like this. Makes me think of what else could I not trust about what would be said up front, then do in my case once hired to be my attorney. At least I only lost $75 but it's still $75 less than what I had before I spoke with her.

I would strongly caution against hiring this woman as your attorney. When my mother died, we were…read moregrief stricken. We came down to Abilene to arrange for her funeral services. My mother died of a heart attack so it was very unexpected, because she had just recently been remarried her estate was not up to date. We were confused and needed legal guidance. When we came to visit with Ms. Clinton she said she would charge us the Dallas rate for an attorney, (which at that time was $375 an hour). She got her timer out and began to set it (of course not before getting payment from us). My brothers and I were young in our early 20's and just wanted help in sorting out our mothers humble estate. I now know most attorneys will give a free consultation to hear you case. This was 10 years ago and I probably would not be writing about this had I not seen Ms. Clinton on my last trip to Abilene. I was in court with a friend and saw Ms. Clinton as she was leaving the courthouse. Of course, she did not recognize me. I am now the HR Director for a major hospital here in the Dallas area, I have a MBA, serve on the Board of Directors for a domestic violence shelter. 10 years ago, my brothers and I were just 3 young college kids who had lost their mom who worked so hard to raise them as a single mother. Ms. Clinton took advantage of this, by 1)Never doing anything for my mothers estate-she asked us to file a few papers which did nothing to settle my mothers estate (we even had to call on friends and family in Abilene to do this legal paperwork. These friends and family members took off time from work, went by Ms. Clintons office to get the forms (all of which can be found online) and then go submit them to the county and courthouse. 2)My brothers and I made multiple trips from Dallas and Killeen to visit with Ms. Clinton (and remember each time, she would ask for cash payment and then set her kitchen timer for the set time we paid for). In hindsight, we were grieving kids, just looking for guidance and she exploited us. Our trips were not necessary and she could have been respectful enough to tell us she was not interested in our case instead she took our money. At the time, I was a daycare aid, one of my brothers worked at Starbucks and the other had just graduated high school and was entering the army as a private. Hopefully, her business ethics have changed. However, after all these years I still remember how she treated my family during a very difficult time.

In 2015 my husband was very badly injured while working as a Local 806 Bridge Painter. He fell & shattered his wrist & arm, also hurting his back & neck. After the hospital, & his 1st arm surgery a week after the accident we were given the Law Firm of Sacks & Sacks to use by the Union. Daniel Weir was assigned to our case. Everything was a joke with him and his funny voices while we were worried about LIVING! Let's start with No one EVER returning our calls! When they did, everything was made into a joke! I begged them call after call to get my husbands back included into the injury, he was having so many issues, and they NEVER DID! NOW let's talk about the workers compensation! We went for a hearing, they wanted to lower my husbands amount to the lowest possible! Do you know what our attorney told us? Do not piss off the board. Take what you get and do not say anything! My husband wound up with LESS THEN $400.00 per week, before the child support deduction! After a year of getting nowhere fast, we fired this "firm" and moved to Schwartzapfel Lawyers. When they took over our case, they found out that our case was filed IN THE WRONG COUNTY! It should have been filed in the Bronx, it was filed in Manhatten, they didnt sue one of the General Contractors & a slew of other mistakes that bordered on malpractice! As soon as we met with Chris Holbrook of Schwartzapfel, he had us all straightened out within a year! My husband had FIVE needed surgeries, and it did take his case a year back but we are HAPPY to say we settled our case in MEDIATION, NOT TRIAL for a life altering amount of money! The ONLY TIME Sacks & Sacks took us seriously & bothered to call us was when they received our paperwork saying they were no longer our attorney. THEN they knew how to make a phone call. We have since heard stories of other people who have been injured alot worse then my husband getting settlements of $50,000.00 and losing their careers due to their injuries! Please do NOT settle for an attorney that will not fight for everything you deserve! Its YOUR LIFE! YOU DESERVE BETTER THEN THIS!!
