We retained Tara for an international family law case. Of over twenty attorneys that we consulted…read morewith, Tara was the one who made us feel comfortable. She asked us a lot of questions. Many of the other attorneys we talked to did not. Dealing with the family court is extremely stressful. Tara was never overly emotional regarding our case (I wouldn't want a lawyer that was) but we could tell that she cared about the outcome. She is honest and doesn't promise things she cannot deliver. Some lawyers may tell you what you want to hear. Tara tells you the truth. And she works hard to get you the best outcome within the framework of a system that is often times outdated! I'm happy we retained her to represent us and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

To find out he had no experience in the area of my case just to tell him days later after me doing my own research and finding out some info about my case and the laws around it, when I sent it to him he was not aware of that law and then days later with no word dropped my case acting like it was my fault for not being detailed when I was extremely detailed about it. What a joke of a lawyer getting my hopes up, acting like he could help me only for me to find out he had no experience in my area and did nothing but waste my time when I could of been consulting a lawyer that knows what they're doing. Stay in personal injury bud and don't be a waste of others time and then act like its their fault that you were uneducated with no knowledge in. Wish I could show screen shots

I had an excellent experience working with Andrea at Flanagan Law Group. From the very beginning,…read moreshe was extremely pleasant, professional, and easy to work with. She handled everything behind the scenes and made the entire process much less stressful for me. What impressed me most was how thorough and prepared she was. It was clear she was ready to go the distance if needed, but thanks to her hard work and research, she was able to get my case dismissed before the preliminary hearing even took place. Andrea was also very articulate in explaining each step of the process and pricing, and always made sure I understood what was happening. I truly felt like she was on my side and fighting for the best possible outcome. If I ever need legal representation again in the future, she will absolutely be my first call. Highly recommend Andrea and Flanagan Law Group.

Unfortunately my husband injured his back at work. His co. Was based in Iowa and even though we…read morelive in Texas, he had to seek counsel in Iowa. He was a traveling Superintendent in the construction field. We chose Hope Law firm because we connected with Attorney Andrew Portis. He was a fighter and very much for his client. The work comp was denied from the start because Koester Construction lied about the injury to work comp. Straight up LIED! ( later this was proven at deposition) Andrew Portis was fierce and gave excellent representation! Then two days before deposition my husband was notified that Andrew Portis was no longer with Hope Law Firm. Our new representation would be Ryan Muldoon . WORST EXPERIENCE EVER IN OUR ENTIRE LIFE! Ryan was not interested in what happened. Didn't review the records obviously. Didn't communicate at all until the day of deposition! REPRESENTATION WAS POOR!!! My husband presented and defended himself! This case carried on for over a year with nothing happening! Hope Law firm NEVER GOT MY HUSBAND MEDICAL CARE! HOPE LAW NEVER GOT MY HUSBAND WORK COMP $$$! HOPE LAW FIRM IS THE OPPOSITE OF HOPE! The case finally went to mediation giving my husband short notice! Ryan Muldoon failed to prepare! In fact Ryan advised my husband to settle with their first offer of $50k My husband sad NO! At mediation, if you can call it that! Work comp offered $60k my husband again said NO. Ryan Muldoon tried get my husband to take the lowball settlement at every offer! During mediation the attorney, Ryan Muldoon barely spoke! MY HUSBAND NEGOTIATED EVERYTHING! MEDIATION LAST AROUND 4 HOURS I BELIEVE. MY HUSBAND GOT THE OFFER UP TO $120k !!!! No thanks to his attorney at all!! HOPE LAW FIRM SHOULD BE THANKING US FOR THE $40k FREE MONEY THEY GOT FOR DOING NOTHING!!! NEVER USE HOPE LAW FOR ANYTHING ESPECIALLY WORKERS COMP!
