However, against my better judgment, Stephen insisted that I should trust a server he recommended. When issues inevitably arose, this server completely stopped communicating with me and insisted that everything go through Stephen. It quickly became apparent that the only reason I continued to pay him for his so-called "legal advice" was because I needed him to rectify the problems he had introduced. The server Stephen recommended was not only unreliable but also highly unprofessional. They missed deadlines, were late in serving the necessary documents, and, shockingly, there was even an instance where they failed to serve the Respondent the complete writ order. This monumental blunder had a devastating impact on my case in court, and I finally told them both to end this madness. Instead of an apology or five, Stephen then had the audacity to send me a final bill for services I never received! It's incredibly frustrating and disheartening to think that there are people like Stephen out there who are willing to take advantage of individuals in vulnerable situations. I hardly received any legal advise, Stephen came in unprepared so I would have to repeat what the session was booked for, and when I literally booked him to prep me for a next day hearing, he didn't think I had one scheduled! Protect yourself and your interests, and seek out reputable professionals who genuinely have your best interests at heart. Stephen is unequivocally not one of them. Avoid Stephen at all costs.

Soon I found out about a serious date error the first lawyer made in PW court filings, so was glad I made the switch. I followed every step of his recommendations even though they cost me a lot of extra money and time away from work. In the end I proved to the court I was a stable law abiding citizen and the case was dismissed. It took over a year but it was worth it. All of my citizen rights have been returned to me.

Leigh Jorgeson and Ian Pittman were both wonderful to work with! They patiently answered my long…read morelist of questions during our initial consultation, and never made me feel rushed or silly for asking anything, no matter how basic or obscure. Their office was responsive to emails and phone calls, and they produced documents for me to sign on a very short timetable. My interactions with their legal secretary, Andrea, were also very pleasant and I had no complaints there either! Although it did not pertain to my legal needs directly, Leigh's background in LGBTQ family law in Texas is nothing short of inspiring, and suggests a strong moral character -- doing what is right, working on behalf of those who are marginalized -- that I value in an attorney. I would be thrilled to work with her or Ian again in the future, and enthusiastically recommend either of them to anyone with legal needs pertaining to family or estate law.

DO NOT TRUST THIS ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT YOU…read more I hired Griffith "Hunter" Thomas II in 2021, trusting him as the managing attorney and namesake of Thomas Law Firm. I paid a $5,000 retainer in good faith and was left with a stalled case, procedural failures, and no resolution after more than three years. I am now in the process of filing formal complaints with both the State Bar of Texas and the Better Business Bureau. 1. Repeated Failure to Serve Opposing Counsel. Despite multiple assurances that key motions had been filed -- including one to dismiss the case and another to recover my $6,200 bond -- they were never served on the opposing party, rendering them procedurally useless. "Our firm was not served with the motion to request the return of cash deposit nor with appellant's motion to withdraw appeal... The motions were not 'unopposed' but were simply unreceived by us." -- Opposing counsel, April 2025 This wasn't an isolated mistake. I have similar evidence from 2022 confirming the same issue. This shows a pattern of negligence, not just a one-time oversight. 2. Contradictory Claims About Firm Identity and Evasion of Responsibility. In 2025, Mr. Thomas attempted to distance himself from responsibility by claiming that a "previous firm" had represented me -- despite the fact that the firm still operates under his name, from the same location, using the same phone number and email address that have been active since 2021. He wrote: "As you both should know, my previous firm represented you in the subject-titled cause. I was listed as an attorney on the case, though I should not have been. I did provide minimal advice to your lead attorney on a certain question, and I was the managing attorney of that firm at the time. Since then, our new firm wanted to help finalize the case, however, and though I would like to help y'all, I must withdraw due to a conflict of interest." -- Griffith "Hunter" Thomas II, 2025 No formal substitution of counsel or withdrawal was ever filed. The attempt to rebrand or relabel the same legal entity appears to be a blatant misrepresentation, designed to sidestep professional responsibility without changing any actual operations. 3. $5,000 Retainer Depleted Without Results. Despite repeated commitments to advance the case, no hearing was set and no motion was ever ruled on. Instead, my entire retainer was depleted -- not on progress, but on: * Internal file reviews by junior attorneys * Repeated responses to my update requests * Reworking tasks that should've been completed long ago At no point did my case move meaningfully forward. Their inaction left me right where I started -- only with thousands of dollars gone. 4. Poor Supervision of Inexperienced Staff. My case was eventually handed off to a first-year associate who had recently joined the firm. He appeared at a key hearing (a Temporary Restraining Order) and said nothing. He was left to manage filings and deadlines with little to no oversight -- resulting in additional errors and delays that undermined my position. I was ultimately forced to represent myself. After years of missed deadlines, broken promises, and misleading communication, I was told I would need to pay even more to continue -- despite the fact that my original $5,000 retainer should have been more than sufficient for this matter. At that point, I had no choice but to represent myself. Mr. Thomas's actions violated my trust and appear to violate multiple provisions of the Texas Rules of Professional Conduct. Avoid this attorney. Don't be fooled by polished branding, vague excuses, or shifting stories. What I experienced was negligence, misrepresentation, and costly deflection -- while my case stalled and my retainer disappeared.

I used Joe to file for a divorce and he did not review my marriage agreement (which I sent to him upon retaining him) until the opposing counsel brought it to his attention months later. There was a date error on this certificate which VASTLY changed my liabilities - from nearly 0 to my house, business, etc. He provided no legal advice and advised me to go along with whatever the opposing counsel suggested, even though it was not in my best interest . He would not answer a single question I asked him and would charge me $100+ for each one sentence email he would send to me that did not provide any guidance. He was extremely discouraging and did not suggest mediation. He merely suggested I give up and pay out 50%+ even though my situation was very unique and not clear-cut (a signed, informal marriage agreement with a date discrepancy). If I continued with Joe I would have given up an extra ~$500k in my divorce. In the end I paid $4500 for him to draft a boilerplate divorce petition and forward emails from the opposing attorney with no legal advice.
