I'll start by saying this. I've always known the criminal justice system is unjustly setup for…read morepeople of color to not succeed in life or justice. Furthermore the workflow process in the courtrooms are archaic. I've always sympathized with anyone accused of any crime but I now empathize with them as I now know and have experienced being charged for a crime I did not commit and being treated guilty until proven innocent. I feel the pain of those who don't have the means to make bail, cannot afford a competent attorney or who has a job whose less than willing to work with you prior to a disposition. With all that being said, after reviewing prior reviews for Attorney Akinbayoji and reaching out for a consultation on a Friday. He called me back the same day, reviewed my case, informed me of all avenues, possible outcomes, next steps, he showed up to court the following Monday, negotiated a walk through and recommended a bail bondsman. Mr. Akinbayoji's responsiveness , patience, sympathy and thoroughness is why I decided to hire him as my attorney. Not to mention I hire black and competent before I would ever hire an attorney who culturally appropriates for certain fast money demographical cases and quick to negotiate a deal vs fighting for the client. Never having gone through the system, I had so many questions. Mr. Akinbayoji answered every question without making any promises, always explained worst case scenarios and communicated more often than I expected considering his workload. He showed up to every court case and worked for my best interest, not for the interest of collecting a quick buck. I will say, no matter which attorney you hire it's important to note, the system and process is just that the system and process. If you run into an attorney who promises a unicorn, get a 2nd opinion. This is your money and life. Take it into your own hands where possible. That being said, regardless of which attorney you hire, it's imperative that you listen, ask questions and DO YOUR PART; provide evidence, follow court/pretrial rules etc. Help your attorney help you and stay off the radar. Even after the DA, reset, reset, reset and BS's around (remember their job is to prosecute. Not be fair), my case was dismissed in less than 6 months. Not going to trail. Regardless the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend Attorney Akinbayoji Akingbola without a blink of an eye or hesitation. Ted Talk: Stop hiring attorneys that treat you like a number. You deserve competent, thorough and quality representation who knows this fucked up system.

He told me 3-4 months and he did it in 2 months.. I couldn't be any happier with any other lawyer I'm glad I picked you and and believed in you, you're the man I wear to god.. Thank you and Thanks for everything and not to mention when I first called him we was on the phone for 1 hour, talking/joking and just keeping it real with each other.. He really cared about me and my future not just the money.. and I had a cheaper lawyer but he was the one I felt that really cared about me as if I was a family member that needed help, I just really appreciate the way I was treated by him.. Thank you again!!! I would say if I need you again I will contact you but I'm not putting myself near anymore misunderstandings again.. But I will recommend you to anybody that needs your help, because your a amazing lawyer.. Real Words from a Real Customer!!!

I have used the attorneys in this office three times. My parents used them when I was a minor, a…read morevictim in a hit and run. So, when I became an adult they were recommenced to me. There is a reason people say listen to your parents. I have used their service twice as an adult. I am confident in my representation. Top reason why I use this firm. 1. My attorney explained the law in layman's terms 2. Explained how laws in real life are implemented 3. Explained a case's timeline - filing, discovery, etc. 4. Probably vs. possibly 5. Competitive prices I have heard horror stories about working with other attorneys who take your money without fighting for you. Payne and Payne are realistic about your case, how long it will take and what to expect. Would use them again.

People- please stay away from SCAMMER lawyer Shandon Phan !…read moreHe asked me to Zelle him directly money , and as soon as he received it - he stopped returning texts/ calls / did nothing in my case /. Just stole money and ran. Please be careful out there - do your research before hiring a lawyer, to avoid extra troubles. It is already stressful that we in position needing to find an attorney, but dealing with scammers/ lawyers put extra stress on and not needed pressure on top of everything. Stay away from him! Good luck in finding a good lawyer in different places!

My dad died in May 2018, we submitted his will for a probate case towards the end of 2018 or…read morebeginning of 2019. It is 2021 and there are still no updates and the probate isn't settled. How do I know it's not settled? Because all the bills and the house is still under my dad who's been dead for the past 2 years. We cannot sell the house or car since it is still under his name. What is already a difficult time for my family, this lawyer Shandon Phan made it worse by delaying this case and leaving it us in the dark. What's even worse is he hires one staff person who has no capabilities and leaves the staff with no information such as his response time or number of business days it will take for him to give us a call back. The assistant could not even answer to us about any updates on the case only that he sees it and we can schedule an appointment to speak with the lawyer instead. I am done with trying to contact him. I cannot wait to have an appointment next week to speak with him, when we have been trying to contact him for years. He can give us a call back. We no longer want to work with him and would rather him give us back our important documents and the 2k we gave him to settle this. Since the assistant couldn't give us a feedback period, if the lawyer does not contact me back within 72 hours, we will submit a grievance to the state bar of Texas. I noticed a lot of Google reviews that many people have their cases delayed years by lawyer Shandon Phan. I encourage you all to file a complaint with the state bar of Texas and have his license revoked for professional misconduct. https://www.texasbar.com/Content/NavigationMenu/ForThePublic/ProblemswithanAttorney/GrievanceEthicsInfo1/File_a_Grievance.htm

I wish I could give no stars, that would truly describe my experience with this law firm. I feel I…read morewas charged inappropriately, and they had no problems taking my money, but when I showed them where I was charged incorrectly, they gave me a credit. I wouldn't use this law firm on their own money. Brittney Archie was my lawyer, I paid her and I feel she slowed down the divorce process even saying I didn't think you were going to go through with it. I had to call them to show up at court otherwise my case was going to be dismissed. That was excused because they misread the paper. So much more, and I filed a grievance with the State of Texas, but they just listed it as an inquiry. I guess they all protect their own. I wish I had read Yelp instead of Google.

STAY AWAY: PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE HIRING THIS FIRM…read more I hired this firm to do some legal paperwork and had the worst experience in regard to billing and difficult communication. The legal work was so poor that I was forced to hire another lawyer to review the work and she was shocked at the poor quality and laziness (it was a template from another client whose personal information they couldn't even be bother to remove). Also my lawyer was extremely difficult to get in touch with, but he charged me for every minute regardless of whether he was providing service or not. Even charged us almost $400 just for him to drive to meet in person. And worst of all, their billing team was billing me almost every day for a separate retainer that they call a "trust" that I did not sign/agree to and was NOT INCLUDED IN THE CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION OF MY CONTRACT BECAUSE THEY FORGOT TO ADD THE ADDENDUM. TLDR; poor quality of work and ridiculous billing, stay away.
