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 have no idea where I'd be without this amazing law firm. I was panicking every single day over…read moresome legal issues but that all changed when I hired Chambers & Associates team to represent me. Being new to the legal world intimidated me because I genuinely had no clue what was going on or what was going to happen to me. Let me just say this: I'm independent and successful thanks to ONLY Chambers & Associates, Ross, and the team. They reassured me night and day that I'd be ok and that I was in the best hands. Not one question was unanswered and all concerns were thoroughly and repeatedly explained. They were beyond patient, understanding, and genuine. I consider them friends and will always owe this firm for what they've done for me. Thank you for my stability and life.

We can't even put into words how relieved and grateful we are right now. After months of stress and…read moreuncertainty, Kevin told us that our son's expunction petition was granted. We had read so many glowing reviews about Kevin representing others with both felony and misdemeanor arrest, and we knew we needed his expertise in expungement law. We completely agree - Kevin is the best and knows both areas extremely well. From start to finish, the process with Mr. Bennett was smooth, professional, and incredibly supportive. He explained every step in plain, easy-to-understand language, and we never once had to reach out for updates - he kept us informed the entire way. His fees were fair and reasonable, and he is worth every single penny. Now, we can finally move forward with peace of mind. Thank you, Mr. Bennett! If you're looking for a criminal law attorney who is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly fights for you, we wholeheartedly, recommend Kevin Bennett!! JJ

Here's what stood out about Kevin:…read more 1. He's not pushy and doesn't try to sell you a miracle that isn't possible. This is important because he's honest about your options and doesn't set you up with any false expectations. 2. He answered all of my questions on the phone and was patient. This gave me the confidence that he's understanding and wants to make sure you feel comfortable before moving forward. 3. He's knowledgeable and gave me details that another attorney did not give me. This sealed the deal because it gave me a direct comparison on how he is more capable than other attorneys and that was very important for me. Give him a call and ask him all the questions you need so that you feel confident and taken care of.

I trusted this firm with my grandmother's malpractice case, which should have been a very…read morestraightforward case to prove. Instead, for almost a year I was given empty assurances, delays, and excuses. I had to call and push for months just to finally get a response. By the time they finally answered me, they admitted my case had been sitting for months without progress -- all while my family was grieving and the statute of limitations was slipping away. He told me after all this time that they would not pursue the case because they could not secure a medical expert opinion. If that was the situation, it should have been determined much earlier instead of stringing me along for nearly a year. He even acknowledged there was an argument for negligence but still left me without help, wasting precious time I could have spent seeking another attorney. This firm showed a complete lack of urgency, communication, and professionalism. Losing a loved one is devastating enough -- being dragged along and ignored by the people who are supposed to fight for justice makes it even worse. I would not recommend trusting this firm with something as serious as a malpractice case.

Four years ago, entering into my sixth decade of life, I was confident in my bullet proof financial…read moreretirement plan. However, a year later I took the advice from someone I wholeheartedly loved and trusted to invest in a real estate opportunity. Three years later, I have witnessed a slow and steady loss of funds to an investment I was guaranteed would produce not only my investment dollars back but 10% interest. Now there is no guarantee, which left me paralyzed with fear. Being new to Austin I felt stuck in this situation so I shared my dilemma with a new friend. He, a Family-Law Attorney, interrupted me to say without hesitation, "You need David Gottfried! He's not only an excellent Real Estate Attorney, but he's a brilliant Trail Attorney, too." I thanked him for his recommendation but still wasn't sure this was a matter I could trust to anyone at this point. I felt stuck with no hope. My friend encouraged me to stay on the phone with him while he called David to join us on a 3-way conference call immediately. Not even knowing where to start my friend introduced me to David then I sat in silence listening to the two men discuss my potential case. This matter was way too big and emotional for me to even give input. Within a few days David earned my trust. He was patient with my questions, he never talked down to me, and often said things to rebuild my confidence and self-worth. David, truly cares and protects his clients from heading deeper into the abyss. He is reliable, able, and strong. Plus, he's a mover and a shaker who thinks out of the box, and often laughs at my crummy jokes. David actually makes a stressful time almost feel like it's a fun thing to do. He's an amazing man who can balance brilliance with bedside manner. David Gottfried and his team are the very best Austin has to offer.
