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.

My husband and I hired Gabriel Seañez when he was detained for visa overstay. They were…read moresuccessfully able to help us navigate removal proceedings, get them dropped, and adjustment of status to a green card holder. Gabriel visited my husband while detained, showed up at all court and uscis interviews, kept us in the loop and guided us through this painstaking process. His staff, looking at you Vero, was accessible at all times and responsive with a smile you can hear through the phone. The staff and Gabriel exhibited patience throughout a very scary and unknown process to us. Anyone in need of an immigration attorney should look no further.

The staff is so very kind and professional. I want to personally give a massive thank you to my attorney, Christopher R. Konneker. I don't want to give details about my case, but without him, I don't know what I would have done. Also, a huge shout out to his paralegal, a Mrs. Patricia Gibson- what a smart and kind-hearted woman. Thank you both from the very bottom of my heart.

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.

Now, since then, I've actually sent her a few clients; one being a childhood friend. My friend ended up retaining her and was going to file for divorce. My friend had a change of heart and decided to wait until she was certain. My friend asked for a refund and Michelle sent her an invoice for work done. This was almost a year and some months ago. Fast forward to this year, now my friend is ready to go through with the divorce and calls Michelle back, and says she's ready. Come to find out nothing was ever filed yet her invoice states she paid filing fees, and that it was filed. You have to trust your lawyer and Michelle, although sweet as pie may not be as ethical as I thought. Just disheartened that she sent an invoice for work she never completed at the time. I've sent her four people, I wonder if she knows that people come to her from recommendations. Could not ever praise her or recommend again. Total deceit.
