So when my husband and I pulled up to an old hospital building in Denton, we were like "Be like SBA to send us to a place like this." We walked inside and took the elevator up to the 4th floor. When we stepped off, it was like stepping into a New Orleans styled, classy oasis. It was just beautiful inside! Note the pictures. Regarding their work, they were very professional, super helpful, had a lot of insight and charged reasonable fees. Can't ask for much more!

I hired Minor and Jester to handle an eviction case for one of my rental properties, and the…read moreexperience was nothing short of a nightmare. Despite the fact that my tenant had not paid rent for three consecutive months, the firm completely botched the case. Specifically, Christopher Henry and Olivia Ponce, who were assigned to represent me, were grossly unprepared for court. Their lack of knowledge of the eviction process was glaring. It was clear from the outset that they had not done their homework, as they fumbled basic questions and failed to present crucial evidence to support my case. To my disbelief, their poor representation led the judge to dismiss the case (you can look it up in the public records for the City of Denton), despite the tenant's clear violation of our rental agreement. The lack of professionalism and competence from both attorneys was astonishing. I expected to work with experienced professionals who would fight for my rights as a landlord, but instead, I was met with a careless and disorganized defense that ended up costing me time, money, and a resolution to the situation. The only reason I'm giving them a two star review is because they were quick to issue the refund of the retainer fee and the consult fee, thus admitting their error. Do you want to be their next mistake?

Both Jill Jester and Chris Henry are very professional and cared about my case. Chris was my…read moreprimary attorney and I felt like I was in good hands the whole time. He doesn't mess around and I greatly appreciated his determination and dedication to getting my case resolved. I also liked that he knew the laws very well and was always able to tell me right away what could or could not be done. Their staff is also highly skilled as well. You will not go wrong with this firm!

They are scammers and will rob you of every dime possible the second you hire them.

I withheld firing them and writing this review out of fear they'd cancel my case. But people need to know not to use this firm or trust anything they say.

My Reflections on Transparency and Client Guidance…read more ADVICE: Ask for an example of an inventory before you begin. This was one of the most challenging items that ended up costing additional money because it was not explained in detail and every change I made, was an additional expense. If I had known, I would not have sent it to them until it was completed. My rating would have given them a 5 but they cost me a great deal of money so I am giving them a 3. Based on my experience with two probate cases, I can share insights into how these cases are managed, particularly in terms of communication, transparency, and billing practices by this firm. At the outset, I was informed that certain details might not be communicated proactively, as the attorneys handle these matters routinely and may inadvertently omit information. In practice, however, I found that the information provided was often sufficient only for the immediate next step. This incremental approach meant that I frequently needed to ask additional questions to fully understand my responsibilities and the process as a whole. One of my primary concerns was the billing structure. Every inquiry or clarification I sought resulted in additional charges. Had I been better informed from the beginning about my duties as well as the specifics of the fee arrangement, I believe I could have saved both time and money. A more comprehensive briefing at the outset would have improved my ability to anticipate tasks and associated costs. While it is possible that this approach is common among attorneys, the experience left me feeling that my lack of familiarity with probate proceedings was not fully addressed. I felt that greater transparency and client education would have been beneficial, not only to foster trust but also to empower clients to make informed decisions. In summary, my experience managing probate cases highlighted the importance of clear communication and upfront disclosure from legal professionals. Prospective clients may wish to ask detailed questions early on and seek explicit explanations regarding their responsibilities and all potential fees to avoid unexpected costs and ensure a smoother process.

In addition, they kept us informed at each stage. With the help of Sawko & Burroughs, we were able to reach a settlement that was far beyond our expectations.

We hired Greg and later moved before the settlement. Drove 500 miles one way for the mediation meeting. He was completely unprepared, kept asking his assistant for whatever and she would say it is back at the office. Didn't agree on the offer and asked Greg about taking it to court. He agreed. 6 months later Greg called and said they had an offer. It was for less than that of the offer we had turned down at the mediation meeting. I again asked about taken them to court and he denied ever agreeing to that. I think he felt he was up against to big of opposition and didn't want to take the time to fight t because it just wasn't worth his time. When I mentioned getting another attorney he said if I did that he would still get a third of the settlement. Our settlement barely covered the loss of our vehicle and immediate medical bills. My wife still suffers from chronic pain and uses a walker.

Once the initial consultation was completed and payment was made I felt I was treated very poorly and as if I was just another number, they just wanted to get paid and move on.

I would absolutely not recommend using this firm, especially if you are a tenant. I don't wanna say anymore, but I think I've said enough I would not use this for.
