Everyone from the DSS team that I encountered was excellent, but I especially enjoyed working with Bonnie and Kate, too. Not only did I have a good experience, but most importantly a fantastic outcome. There's no gatekeeping when it comes to important lessons that Ms. Rodarte has learned through her experience winning many legal Super Bowls. I didn't feel like our relationship was purely transactional, she genuinely cares. It's not fun to feel like your life is on the line and you don't know what the outcome will be. You might be up against someone who is deflating the ball, doping, or committing field misconduct. She is honest, ethical, and timely. She is equipped to set proper expectations for you about what your best and worst day in court could look like. There are a lot of curve balls thrown in the legal system in Travis County, TX. You don't want a quarterback who doesn't know the playbook, can't make quick decisions, or doesn't have the ability to improvise when needed. There are helpful YouTube videos, podcasts (shoutout to Holly Draper in Dallas!), and websites (https://texaslawhelp.org/), but nothing compares to having the right teammate. If you can work with her, you're already in good field position with a big lead going into the 4th quarter.

I chose Mackenzie Holst because when I talked to her on the phone, she immediately sounded…read moreconfident and already had a plan for me based on my circumstances when we hung up. From the very beginning, starting in August all the way to mediation in November, she navigated me through the process in a way where everything was super clear. I always knew what the outcomes might be depending on what I decided, and she was great about laying out the options in a way that helped me when my brain was mush from work and I was checked out. Right away, Mackenzie moved to get me expanded standard possession. Every time we spoke on the phone or communicated through email, she got to the point but was detailed and clear. [This is a skill I appreciate in anyone I am paying by the hour.] Something I really, really appreciated was her handling of the funds I placed in the trust. I was sick to my stomach about the amount of money I was giving up to retain a lawyer, but also afraid of what the outcome would be if I didn't spend the money. I was absolutely justified in that in turns out. While $10k out of pocket is huge for me, it could have been so much worse and cost me so much more in terms of custody and final child support payments without her expertise. Mackenzie got me through a very long day of mediation and made it so that nothing was wasted. TL;DR: Pick Mackenzie. She won't be shady with your money, she will respond to you, she'll give you great advice without gassing you up, and she'll work hard to get the best outcome she can.

My experience with Jessica was the most positive experience with an attorney that I have ever had…read more To give you a little back story regarding my situation (feel free to skip to paragraph 4 if under time constraints,) representing myself, I attempted to navigate the Texas legal system to resolve a divorce internationally to a man that for 9 years I could not locate. Due to additional extraordinary (not in a good way) circumstances which compounded to create what can only be described as "the perfect legal storm," my progress remained at a stand still for the last 4 years. Beginning a little over a year ago, I broke down and began consulting with attorney after attorney to no avail. Each consultation revealed that inordinate retainers would be required in advance, and some even made me feel their sense of defeat before we even began. At the end of 2013, a wrench was thrown into the gears that required me to find help and obtain a resolution as soon as possible. I had no time left to be unproductive. In January, I stumbled upon The Worden Law Firm while perusing Yelp reviews of several local Travis County law firms. I read all of the reviews on their page (regardless of what the Yelp automated recommendation software believes.) After doing so, I knew that I needed to reach out to this firm, and I did so the very next day. I have absolutely no regrets. Jessica replied electronically to my inquiry within 1 business day. She showed no fear of my situation, and in fact was rather excited to take it on. Her retainer was a fraction of what others had demanded, and her fees very reasonable. She was incredibly easy to work with, positive, very personable, non-judgmental, ethical, and worked swiftly and diligently to file documents and make any needed changes. She was able to navigate the law and initiated the service of divorce papers to my husband internationally (in my case, a process that could have taken up to 8 months.) I tell you with tears of joy in my eyes, by the end of June I was a single woman! After everything I went through, all of the brick walls and dead ends, Jessica has helped me do what I was beginning to believe was impossible. I will certainly use her for any future legal needs, and I highly recommend her to all of my friends, family, and to you reading this today.

Do not have Jessica Warden work for you. She promised to get me in front of a judge 1 year…read moreago,which is why I retained her in the first place and she did not carry out her promise. She is full of excuses and for the year I had her on retainer all she was talking about was money all the time. We had a payment plan and when I was $300 away from paying her off of the $5000, she threatened to walk away from my case. Are you kidding me ? We discussed later on ,that She would prep me for the custody hearing so that I would not have to pay anything else and she billed me an extra $3000 for doing absolutely nothing right after she told me my remaining bill was $500. Take that for what you will. She did not follow through with what She agreed to do. I live in Los Angeles and obviously she is in Austin and I trusted her. Even a simple question that I would email to her would be responded with " well that's a loaded question. " my case has been complicated, but all I needed to do in Travis County was to get in front of a judge, and even now she refuses to file simple documents,which includes registering my case and enforcing the court orders from California. Travis County has been a complete shit show. And what promised to be something simple ,ultimately became impossible for this woman to do .One year later she has my $5000 and I am no further along than what I was at the time that I retained her. she gave me false hope and manipulated me with promises She did not keep. She will come back on here and probably try and shoot this review down and try to justify her actions, but ultimately when you say you're gonna do something and you get paid for it, then do it .Do not hire this attorney. I emailed many court documents to her for this hearing, and she has not even mentioned where they are and why they cannot be filed to my case. All her explanations do not make sense. I am literally no further along than one year ago and if you have to charge someone $5000 to be at this point in a case then why are you even practicing law . she even tried taking credit for a hearing that the mother was attempting to terminate my parental rights, when we literally walked in the court, and the first thing that came out of the judge's mouth was, she was not going to approve the mothers application. I was on Zoom and I recorded everything on audio just for something to refer back to. Jessica claims she won the hearing while she was sitting at home on her laptop and hardly even spoke in the hearing, I know a lot of family law attorneys are narcissists, but this is ridiculous. had she said in the beginning that she could not get me in front of a judge for a $5000 retainer then I would not have hired her in the first place. I'm furthermore there is absolutely no evidence that she has even put a case together for me because now she is ignoring the fact that I need to be in front of a judge . Where are all these emails that I sent with the Los Angeles Court documents??? and why are they not prepared into a file that can be put into my new case in Travis County??? This is something that a Paralegal could quite easily do , but I paid Jessica to do it. It should be no big deal for an attorney to file a hearing in court. This is what I am pissed off about. She has now signed off on the case conveniently before She was trying to sign off, which has taken three months to do waiting for the judges signature .I will probably be filing a complaint to the Texas State bar if she does not complete what she said she was going to do. she is a very below average attorney that thinks that she is a lot better than she actually is my friend who is a paralegal in a high profile. Los Angeles law firm looked over the billing and laughed at it. It was sloppy just like her work. All I'm saying is where is the case that you prepared for the $5000 I paid you. You are ghosting me right now and not addressing this I feel as if I have been scammed.

I cannot recommend this firm for representation in a child support case…read more I hired Kimbrough Legal in October 2024 to assist with enforcing child support. During my initial consultation, I explained that my ex had already been served by the District Attorney but was expected to delay and contest enforcement, and that I needed legal representation to move the matter forward. My case was assigned to an attorney who had recently joined the firm. My ex had abandoned our teenage son and refused to contribute to shared expenses. I spent significant time providing documents, financial records, and written examples to support my claim for owed child support. On the day of the hearing, my attorney appeared without prepared court documents. The judge reprimanded her for being unprepared. Throughout the hearing, she struggled to present the case effectively and appeared uncertain at multiple points. During the lunch recess, she stated that she was confident and worked on a different case. After a hearing lasting three hours, the judge did not award the full amount of child support sought. Shortly afterward, the attorney assigned to my case was no longer listed on Kimbrough Legal's website and did not appear at my settlement hearing a few weeks later. She had been with the firm for less than one year. I paid over $15,000 in legal fees to Kimbrough Legal. In October 2025, I sent a detailed written email to the firm outlining my concerns and requesting follow-up. I was told that someone from leadership would contact me directly. To date, no one has done so. While I understand that legal outcomes are not guaranteed, not winning would have been easier to accept had Kimbrough Legal represented me as expected. Acting in good faith, I spent money I did not have on what was presented as a straightforward child support matter; however, the legal services I paid for were not delivered as represented, and no accountability followed.
