DO NOT HIRE ERICA RIOS…read more This attorney took $5,000 from my family for a high-stakes custody case involving false abuse allegations, CPS investigations, and ongoing Interference with "Court-Ordered Possession/Access" under the Texas Penal Code § 25.03. Even after my most recent temporary hearing court-ordered rights, and did absolutely nothing. She never filed a single motion. She never sent documentation (including the closed El Paso CPS report). She never gave a billing breakdown, despite multiple requests. She communicated through my father, not directly with me. She tried to withdraw without cause, and I'm still listed as her client because I refused to sign off on her abandonment. I've had to go pro se and file my own enforcement and contempt motions just to protect my time with my daughter. The State Bar failed to act on my first grievance, so I've now filed complaints with the Texas Attorney General and District Attorney for misrepresentation, fraud, and dereliction of duty. If you are dealing with a family matter, especially one involving children. STAY FAR AWAY from Erica Rios. She will take your money and leave you alone in the most critical moment of your life.

We were lost before we came to Erica. We had two other consultations with lawyers who made things…read moreseem complicated. When we sat down with Erica, we were immediately put at ease. She made it feel that something could be done with what we felt was a stressful and impossible case. She assured us that we were not alone in our particular situation and was very calming, yet professional. She was very knowledgeable and experienced. At the same time, she was very honest about what the worst case scenario would be and patient with answering and explaining all of our many questions. She, unlike many lawyers that we have had prior experience with, would be prompt to return our calls, e-mails or letters. We were never left in the dark. In addition to that, her office assistant was very pleasant and relatable. Overall, she made a bad situation not so bad. We highly recommend her.

When I was searching for a divorce attorney, several I first consulted with, said to make sure to…read moresee Doris so I can conflict her out, so as to not have her against me. I thought, wait a minute, if they are all telling me that I dont want Doris against me, then maybe she is the one I want for me. Thank God I did, my ex tried to take everything from me as well as trying to get me into criminal trouble for her fabricated BS. Doris was a no-nonsense direct attorney, kept me abreast of all that was taking place, and basically told the other attorney to jump in a lake. She saved me tremendous grief and heartache. Dont overtook her.

I hired Doris Sipes in good faith. But she took my money and ignored case handling that she full…read morewell intended to do. It took over one year to get away from this bad-faith and so-called "Lawyer" whose exprtise is in The Scam, The Sham, The Swindle and Con-Artistry at its best. This is because Doris Sipes is not a working lawyer. She is actually a stay at home in actual retirement that she and her staff keep secret. She feigns being a working lawyer in order to rip off every cent possible. Doris Sipes has no right continuing to advertise herself as a working lawyer because she does not work. My personal experience is that the Doris Sipes office and everyone in it is a fraud. The recommendation is don't go there where bad faith rules. Believe the negative reviews and heed. If you see a positive one believe that it is a: plant. This former client is trying to save you considering hiring her, from such heartbreak as mine her cause of losing $10,000 to Doris Sipes, $20,000 more that she unlawfully took from my funds to which she had no right, and a whopping case loss of $400,000 for her intentional non-handling to which she intentionally remained silent. I have relocated from El Paso because I do not wish to breathe the same air that despicable Doris Sipes breathes. Save yourself(ves).

I can't say enough good things about Christine Pacheco. I had a very difficult family matter and…read morecould find no one who would represent me until I met Christine. I had a good feeling about her the minute we met. She took a heartbreaking situation and turned it around to a fair and compassionate resolution for everyone involved. She had the strength and courage to see what needed to be done, despite being told by colleagues that what she wanted to do couldn't be done. She didn't care, she did what was right for both me and my family. I owe her a huge debt of gratitude for both her professionalism and her heart. Thank you Christine. Best, Sheryl Gillett Caudana

Mrs Pacheco answered all my grandmothers questions and more. The receptionist/ person scheduling the appointments is very rude and didn't understand what elder care was.

I have recommended him several times because he will not tell you what you want to hear but what is actually realistic and applies. Unlike my many other attorney experiences he listens and is blunt about the situation. Jason J Lempke does not over price you. The only negative thing about his office is that you may leave voice mails and they seldom answer, you will have to continue calling or go in person if you want to be able to talk to someone.

I regret ever going through this law firm. Please save yourself the grief and money and do not use…read morethem. Going through a child custody hearing is stressful and emotional. I put my faith in this firm, they lied, and only cared about money, they do not care about there clients. If I could leave zero stars on this review I would. My initial contact with the attorney was free, he assured that I had a case and that if I made my payment right away they would start on the case immediately. After I made payment I was assigned to a callous attorney who had no people skills. She shared that our case was a long shot. I asked why that was not mentioned in my initial call and she said she didn't know but payment had already been processed no refunds. I was already 5K in so decided to continue. I had anxiety for months due to working with them. Crying daily as I always had to reach out for updates. I expected them to be experts in their trade and this was not the case. Responses to my questions where never clear, the only clear thing was that I would be charged for any and all questions. They lack professionalism and organization. Please if you are looking for an attorney you need someone who cares and who is going to fight for you. Someone who knows what they are doing. This firm lacks customer service, professionalism, empathy, sympathy, and overall common sense! My child custody case was lost due to this incompetent law firm.
