We were referred to The Stout Law Firm by a Senior Board Member of the Houston Family Law…read moreAssociation for a Child Custody/Divorce case, so we had high expectations from the start and weren't disappointed. We met with many Attorneys in search of the one best to represent us and surprisingly we found it tough to find one that was sharp yet personal, unless we paid extortionate amounts to big law practices. What Ms. Stout provided was the perfect mix for us, the knowledge and experience she attained from past employment, but a more personal connection and affordability of a private practice. Ms. Stout very quickly secured our confidence, identifying gaps that others we had consulted with hadn't recognized. Throughout the process Ms. Stout and her colleagues worked very diligently and left no stone unturned. She has an admiral amount of knowledge in Family Law and the energy, drive and passion for ensuring the best outcome for her clients. It was a frustrating case to be apart of, but with Ms. Stout representing us, we had the peace of mind needed to keep positive and moving forward. Unfortunately and through no fault of her own, the case dragged on much longer than we desired, but Ms. Stout worked with us throughout the process to identify areas where we could minimize costs without impacting the final result. Ultimately for us, using a quality Attorney was not only an important investment but a necessity to ensure we had as much peace of mind and protections after the case closed. Ms. Stout met all the expectations we had and was impressive in every aspect. We've recommended The Stout Law Firm to several people since and would have no reservations in recommending or using the firm again.

DO NOT USE THIS FIRM!!! DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER!!!! You will regret it!!!…read more I hired Allecia Lindsey Pottinger Law Firm (ALP Law) to handle a divorce filing for me 2022. I originally only need help with finalizing of it since I file myself but the lawyer assigned to me at the time said it was rejected, so I would need to start over and of course pay more money. I was given a quote for the full process and ended up making a settlement with my now ex-husband based of that amount. After the settlement was paid ALP started tacking on all sorts of hidden and exorbitant fee. So much so that I came out in the red and had to go on a payment arrangement for several months past the divorce to pay it off. Finally 5/2023 I made my last payment per my zero balance ledger (good riddance or so I thought). Imagine my surprise when on 7/2024, nearly a year & a half since I've had any contact with the company is my card charged without notice or authorization for an 'outstanding invoice'. I reached out for a refund (clearly done in error I'm thinking) and got a rude response from the 'office manager' Ralijah Sampson, saying they have no intentions of returning my money. She attached 2 outdated invoices with inaccurate information that was supposed to justify the charge. I requested proof of services rendered, the alleged authorization and to have my payment information removed numerous times. I cc'd the owner of the firm Allecia Lindsey Pottinger who never even bothered to respond to correct or even acknowledge their accountant error. Now I have to go through a full bank dispute because of their shady pricing practices and unorganized accounting/booker. They are incompetent, have horrible communication, terrible customer service, and will find a way to milk as much money as possible ethically or not! There are plenty of other reputable black owned law firm in Houston that are more reputable, reasonably priced and able to do a simple divorce in a faster time frame. SAVE YOUR TIME, MONEY AND SANITY.

I would personally recommend her to my own family members, which I consider to be the highest compliment that I can possibly give a lawyer. Beyond just her success as a lawyer, she's extremely courteous, respectful, and prompt with her responses. Her staff, Ms. Melissa Perry and Ms. Abby Navarro are all incredibly respectful and prompt with their replies as well. Mrs. Scott went well out of her way to not only provide me with the best course of advice to have this case dismissed, but also took out her valuable time to meet with me in person (on a Sunday) just so that I could properly provide her with all of the details to my complex case.

Furthermore, Mrs. Scott was extremely respectful of my finances and worked with my budget to ensure that I wasn't financially stressed.

I would not recommend hiring Daryl Longworth to represent you in a divorce or child custody matter…read more I retained Mr. Longworth approximately two years ago to represent me in my divorce and custody case. Looking back, I believe the representation I received resulted in an extremely unfavorable outcome that continues to affect my relationship with my children. Since the divorce was finalized, I have consulted with two separate family law firms to evaluate whether a modification of my current custody and visitation order is possible. Both attorneys expressed significant concerns regarding the terms of the decree and visitation schedule that were negotiated and entered in my case. Both advised that a modification appears warranted based on the circumstances. However, one attorney stated that they would explore whether portions of the original order could potentially be thrown out & redone due to how one-sided they believed the agreement to be. The other advised that while they would work to improve the current order, correcting the issues would be difficult because of the terms already in place. What is most frustrating is that I relied on Mr. Longworth's advice when deciding whether to agree to the terms of the settlement. I was led to believe that the provisions were standard and necessary under the circumstances. After obtaining independent legal opinions, I no longer believe that was the case. Divorce and custody cases have long-term consequences that can affect both parents and children for years. Based on my experience, I wish I had sought additional legal opinions before agreeing to the final terms of my decree. If you are considering hiring Mr. Longworth, I would strongly encourage you to carefully evaluate your options, ask detailed questions, and consider obtaining a second opinion before making any major decisions regarding your case. After retaining Mr. Longworth & up to mediation, here's what I experienced: - Lack of communication or delayed responses. I voiced my concerns to Mr. Longworth about the lack of communication and he threatened to withdraw from my case with no refund. - Failure to explain legal options or potential consequences. - Pressured to settle without fully understanding the terms. - Failed to explain specific ways the custody schedule negatively affected my parenting time. - Expressed billing concerns, but they were ignored. - Important issues I raised were ignored or inadequately addressed.

From start to finish, she was fierce in the courtroom, with objections that were always well-timed and to the point, and at the same time, she was nice, kind, and respectful in her interactions with us. She came to the hearing extremely well-prepared, and she also prepared me thoroughly so I felt confident and ready. Because of her hard work, we won -- the case was dismissed, and I was able to bring my son home with me. It was a very difficult and draining day, but thanks to Ms. Yazmin's dedication and expertise, we were victorious. I am so grateful for her assistance in this case and will forever be grateful to her for helping me bring my son home.

I will finish my review on a good note. Of course I hired her when there were terrible choices left but there's good news and I feel the newer generation of younger and capable lawyers will definitely show people like Kutty how law should actually be practiced and that children and families matter.
