Emit Cave (Buyer Beware) I had the pleasure of having Mr…read more Tadlock represent me at the beginning of a divorce proceeding and regret the day I hired him. Not sure if it was his incompetence or just not being detail orientated but Mr. Tadlock had me agree to things in the Rule 11 that cost me an additional 30K. During the Rule 11 discussion, he stated that I could argue the points in question amidst the Temp Orders and/or Mediation proceedings. After hiring another attorney to represent me and confirmed by the Judge during the Temp Orders proceedings, I discovered the issues in question should have been addressed within the Rule 11 and I was forced to concede to the additional 30K settlement, being that I had signed the Rule 11 document.

Gerald at Tadlock Law is the real deal. He's not just great lawyer, he's a great guy. He made the…read moreentire process way smoother. From day one he had my back, explained everything clearly, and negotiated my situation like a pro. His fees were fair & he worked hard on my case.

If you want someone who knows what they're doing, actually answers your calls, and treats you like you matter, Gerald is your guy. I highly recommend him.

We retained this firm because of the glowing reviews but our experience has been far from that. If…read moreyou are looking for an empathetic firm that prioritizes communication with clients, look somewhere else. They represented us for approximately 96 hours and I promptly switched counsel due to the lack of concern for the urgency of our situation. There was an EPO put out on my husband that prevented him from coming to the house and any contact with family. This meant he was going to miss the holidays with family and be absent for our boys' birthdays. More pressingly, I was forced to run a single parent household of 4 kids which put our lives under severe hardship. We needed the EPO lifted ASAP and every passing day my husband was apart from us, I was barely making it through the day. I believe this urgency was conveyed when I came in the office but the firm failed to respond accordingly to the dire situation. Megan said she would call me with an update and I never heard from her. I was told the portal would be updated but there was nothing ever updated on the case portal. They simply emailed my husband with a court date of Jan 9th, which meant my family would've been separated for another month! No call, no explanation, just a passive email. A hearing date one month out was absolutely unacceptable not to mention the mode of communication with lack of concern to our circumstance. I have had my fair share of retained attorneys and scrappy communication especially during these trying times for our family is one that is unacceptable. We switched counsel and got a hearing date within 4 business DAYS! My husband was able to come back home within a week of switching counsel. We are SO glad we did not choose to stick with the Wilder firm. Our family would've still been torn apart today had they had continued representing us. Oh, and worse, they still wanted to keep 25% of the total fee for the fruitless work, despite the bare minimum effort they have put into our case in those first 3 days. I've called their office SO many times and the front desk kept saying the attorneys are busy, that they will call me back, but it's been about 3 weeks and no one has called me back. Go figure. Also be prepared to shell out another grand on top of their fee for all the classes they expect you to take. It seems their strategy is to take all the classes you possibly can, regardless the severity of the offense, rather than taking a strategic approach on a case-by-case basis. Less work for the firm I suppose. I'd like to warn others to stay away from this firm if they expect compassion and want actions with a sense of urgency, because this was not that firm in our experience. "A good attorney knows the law, a great attorney knows the judge", I hope anyone that reads this goes to find a great attorney.

Yelp is no place to discuss details, but I will say between 9-10am on my court date, the outcome of my case was unbelievably less than what it could have been. After all was said and done, not only am I very lucky I had Paul in my corner, I have a friend for life. There are lawyer jokes for a reason but I assure you Paul Key is no joke, and he's tough to retain. I will guarantee he will shoot straight, an uncommon quality in his profession.

We paid $3,300 The Wright Firm to recoup $3,800 due to us from Chesapeake…read more We hired The Wright Firm to help us settle an ongoing dispute regarding mineral rights with Chesapeake Energy. The initial consultation was with Paul Wright November 2015 at which point we paid a $1,500 retainer. After we inquired as to the status of our case, Julian R. Kehler contacted me via e-mail in February 2016 with a list questions to *begin* working on the matter. All of the questions would have been answered had he reviewed the exhaustive packet of documents with research, documentation and chronological correspondence with Chesapeake, so I forwarded the original submission from November. I received a follow-up one month later stating the case was still in process. Three weeks later, a response letter from Chesapeake was forwarded to us. Two weeks later, we got a hopeful message stating the matter would be resolved very soon. Two weeks later, I sent a message to Julian Kehler and CC'd Paul Wright expressing my concern over the initial retainer payment only to have to reach out over two months later after not hearing anything in response. The letter was answered promptly by Paul Wright and we felt comfortable continuing the case. The correspondence came periodically over the next several months with delays of one week to up to a month without hearing anything. We found Mr. Kehler to have lackluster energy and with little interest in follow-up without being prompted. When we hadn't heard anything for over three months, we again reached out to Paul Wright for his assistance. In summary, after being unable to get any traction with the behemoth Chesapeake over a mistake *they* made years prior, we were then unable to get timely responses and any sort of proactivity from the attorney we were paying to help us. The only consistent communication from The Wright Firm was the bills which came like clockwork. Although our initial complaint never changed (full payment from Chesapeake along with attorney fees), Mr. Kehler did not demand the attorney fee reimbursement and would not pursue Chesapeake after their insult-to-injury letter denying reimbursement unless we continued to pay additional fees.

Switching to Brian Bagley as my family law attorney was one of the BEST decisions I made during an…read moreincredibly difficult process. What sets Brian apart is his ability to connect the dots, focus on what actually matters, and get things done. Brian is strategic and efficient. Brian doesn't file unnecessary motions, create extra steps, or run up billable hours just for the sake of making more money. Every action has a purpose, and his focus is always on what is necessary to protect his client and achieve the best possible outcome. I am extremely grateful and pleased with the outcome of my case, but I'm equally grateful for how he guided me through it. I genuinely believe this legal team cared about me as a person and about the well-being of my child. He fought for an outcome that was fair and reasonable, while helping me understand what to expect every step of the way. I will forever be grateful that I made the decision to switch to this law office. If you are looking for a family law attorney who will cut through the noise, focus on the facts, and fight for a strong outcome for you and your family, I wholeheartedly recommend Brian Bagley.

One case was especially complex, but Brian and his team handled it with dedication, precision, and care. What sets them apart is how personalized and strategic they are with every case. They don't rush anything--they take the time to understand your situation fully and build a strong plan to help you reach the outcome you're looking for. I've always felt heard, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout the process. Brian and his team treat you like family, not just another client. They're incredibly responsive and available whenever questions or concerns come up.

I can confidently say this is the best family law firm in Collin County, Texas. 10 out of 10--highly recommended!

Let's face it, we all make mistakes, and Mark is not there to judge. He is going fight tooth and nail and give the court everything he's got. He will call you, let you know what is happening, and guide you through the whole process. He knows exactly what will happen and what kind of case they will build against him. We sat in court going round after round after round for nearly 15 hours. The longer it took, the harder he went. The prosecuting attorneys, witnesses, et al were nearly in tears after he was done with them. Nearly every juror came up to me and stated "that is one hell of an attorney, I am going to keep his name in case I ever get into trouble". My story: I was driving home after playing a show and had a few beers before heading home - just like any other night. I get pulled over because the car I had just purchased had out of state tags and the license plate was nearly about to expire. Before I knew it, I was being whisked away and being told that I am going to have this on my record for the rest of my life. I barely blew a .08 and I was made out to be a criminal. Sat in jail for 13-14 hours until I was bailed out. I spoke with several attorneys who also made me feel like this was an unbeatable case, and that I was looking at over $15,000 in fees after all said and done. One of my friends recommended Mark, and said this is the guy you need! After meeting him one time, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that he would be able to get me out of this mess - which he did! Lastly, Mark loves what he does. He loves the judicial system. I wish every legal professional had at least half of his integrity. Please know that the Prosecutors will not hold back. They will use everything they can against you. Mark will chew them up and spit them out and have them telling him they are sorry! He is the Mike Tyson criminal defense attorneys!

I hired Mary Neal after reading great reviews. Although her…read morefees were far more than most attorneys in this practice, I thought I was getting what I paid for. I'm human and understand everyone makes mistakes- however, every draft to be filed had not one but several mistakes, including most importantly the first one being the name of the children were not my children at all, also I was clear I was filing a SAPCR for custody, they drafted a divorce decree. Very negligent red flags I figured were only human, however every draft from there on had multiple discrepancies. During my temporary orders hearing, while I had a very strong case against an absent parent- Mary took it upon herself to mis inform the judge and say the respondent lied on federal reports- which I told her was not false information- she completely killed my case and threw all my strengths out the window. Following that, I received no apologies or communication, just requests for more money to move forward. This lawyer doesn't have children and may advocate family law is her strength but it's very apparent that she's only in this field for the $- you'll just be another check for her.
