I needed to have my estate plan completely updated. I wanted to work with a progressive law firm…read morewhose values reflected my own. After months of spinning my wheels looking for a law firm in the Dallas area, and there seemed to be hundreds, one of my professional friends suggested Burch Law. I googled Burch Law and saw that its advertising wasn't the usual cookie cutter advertising that most firms use. It was colorful and inviting. Burch Law stood out from the rest of the pack ... with it's flying red horse logo and great video clips from Lorie Burch explaining what her firm offered without using a lot of legal mumbo jumbo. I called and made an appointment. Since I live near the Burch Law offices I called and made an in-person appointment. I met Melyssa and she explained how the Burch Law team would work with me to create a personalized estate plan. She was great! No pressure, just the information I needed to make an informed decision. Having Burch Law draw up my estate plan was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. I am very impressed by their attention to detail; I had a team with whom to work. A great lawyer, Struti, a great case manager, Sam, and of course Melyssa who I first met. I felt very supported throughout the process. Another thing that really impressed me was when I'd message a question that it was promptly answered. Burch Law continues its support even after the papers have been signed and notarized. It's a wonderful feeling knowing my estate is fully protected and that I have a team to call with any future questions and/or needs. BTW I wholeheartedly recommend Burch Law for your legal needs.

I don't usually leave negative reviews. Brian seemed like a great guy and someone I believed would…read morerepresent me well. I'll admit, I was back and forth in the beginning because divorce--especially with a child involved--is an incredibly difficult decision. Even though my now ex-wife was struggling with severe alcohol issues and ongoing dishonesty, I still couldn't bring myself to go through with it right away. But I knew I had to--for my son's sake--so he could have a better example to follow. That's why it was so disheartening when the legal support I expected just wasn't there. I reached out multiple times asking for guidance when my ex stopped paying the mortgage. After over two weeks with no response, I made the difficult decision to find a new attorney. During mediation, Brian was distracted, answering emails and even stepping away to take a call. I had to track him down while the mediator waited--yet I was still billed for that time. There were also repeated mistakes in my paperwork, including the wrong address, vehicle, and child support amount. I never saw a draft of the final decree for nearly two months. After switching attorneys, the new lawyer had it submitted in a week and finalized by the judge shortly after. I trusted this team to guide me through one of the hardest seasons of my life. That trust wasn't met with the level of care or professionalism I needed. I genuinely hope future clients are treated with the attention and respect they deserve.

After they received the retainer they had went shopping or something as they had no clue regarding the wickedness of my case and didn't even object or insinuate they knew law. This firm will come up with every excuse in book why they couldn't assist you properly and blame you for things you asked for assistance for. Most of us didn't go to school for law and that's the reason we hire lawyers. These guys are mascots pretending to be lawyers. They charge me twice for one hearing stating they had to prepare twice for my one hearing and a hearing they had no clue regarding law about. They couldn't object to anything relevant, site any other cases dealing with law why some things should be admitted or not and the most unprofessional law firm around. They will quit on you asap and over charge for everything. You shouldn't have to ask your lawyers what's going on in your case and how to get updates . They want you too so they can charge you for communication. it's sad folks. Don't run, sprint faster than Usain Bolt away from this firm. Don't even think of them and they still owe me money . Bunch of money grabbers with incompetent brains.

Then it's crickets. I have a log of missed calls and unreturned messages. Tried to get them to file an emergency TRO and that was unsuccessful because they were unprepared and when our attorney went to our hearing, he was so unprepared, he could not answer basic questions on our case. I fired this firm and simply asked for my retainer back. But apparently money is more important than client satisfaction because Ms. Gauthiers response was, they are paid for the work they do not the outcome, and they were planning on filing an emergency TRO this afternoon. Funny how they would file that considering it hasn't even been signed. Do not use this firm. And before Ms. Gauthier denies my claims, every unanswered email, and unanswered message is logged and despite her claim, calls are not returned withing 72 hours. Even the email she just sent, after I fired here, claiming work was being done. But the response was the fastest ever! Want to get a call back? Either want to be a client or want to fire her, better yet save yourself the trouble and check her bar complaint.
