Getting divorced is brutal. Working with Alexandra Geczi and her amazing team is not brutal…read more My two decade marriage ended in 2022. I had no intention of dragging out the divorce as long as the marriage. Texas family law is as frustrating as the power grid, so I needed someone who could get the job done and represent me. I wanted a lawyer who was a woman, intelligent, direct, and not too emotional. I did not need hugs, I needed a divorce. I interviewed several attorneys to represent me. Some were nice but weak, some were rage-filled and vengeful towards the spouse, and others made me wonder what some law schools are doing with their curriculum. Alex was nothing like other lawyers. Granted, she had completed law school and undergraduate studies like everyone else I had interviewed, but she was not interested in boasting about her accomplishments (which are impressive and lengthy). As I spoke to Alex, I realized that this was the lawyer who checked all of the boxes I required and many more. She did not approach the conversation like we were part of the 300 fighting off the Persians; instead, Alex respected the fact that I wanted to keep the experience as amicable as possible. I spoke with Alex before I retained her services, and she was exactly who I wanted to represent me: female, not man-hating, direct, and an aggressive advocate for her clients. She did not ask me stupid questions, and appreciated that I had done my homework before I spoke with her. I chose to vet her background before I retained Alex to see what other people had said about her legal prowess. I have yet to find a negative review of Alex's abilities as a lawyer. Everyone was complimentary, she had no issues previous or pending with the state bar, and had enough of a digital footprint that I also was able to see podcasts that included Alex talking about family law. I retained Alex's firm. That was the best decision I made in 2022. Her team is beyond amazing. Brandy has the precision and organization of a military commander. As Director of Operations, she ensures that everything flows as it should. She is prompt, efficient, and compassionate without being syrupy sweet. Katie may be one of the smartest humans on the planet. As a paralegal, she handled most of my case details. She is ruthlessly efficient, able to anticipate my questions before I know what they are, and moves paperwork through the glacially slow wheels of justice in the Dallas court system at a shockingly quick pace. Plus, she has a sense of humor, which is required when getting a divorce. If you do not laugh at some of the stuff encountered, you will cry all the time. From retainer to the "thanks for the memories" exit call, the process lasted about 5 months. The legal portion took less than four months from filing to final decree with the notarization stamp. I have friends who are still working through the process after years of issues. Alex, Brandy, and Katie were exceptionally clear when giving directions on what I needed to do, provided paperwork that needed to be signed in a very efficient manner, and always answered the emails I sent with little waiting by me. I emailed a lot, and those emails were full of questions, directions, and sarcasm. Each question was answered, directions followed, and sarcasm met with sarcasm, so we were evenly matched. I was able to keep the divorce amicable, and spent less time on the actual process than I did deciding to file for divorce. If I go through this hellscape again, and I hope I never do, I will call Alex. I cannot imagine anyone considering divorce using any other firm.

I highly recommend Shutt Law Firm! My husband and I decided that it was time to redo our wills and…read morereview our final wishes. We want to make the process of settling our estate as easy as possible for our children. I hope they don't need to refer to this document for many years in the future but it is a big comfort to know that we have these documents all prepared for when that time comes. It's hard to believe 75% of people die without a will and settling an estate gets tied up in probate court and how much time and court fees that involves. We briefly met with Isaac and mainly worked with Ana. We met one time to go over the decisions that needed to be made and then a few weeks after that to sign the documents. Ana took time in our initial meeting to explain everything and listened patiently to all of our questions. She was very knowledgeable and professional and has our best interests in mind. She is a very kind person and takes pride in her work. Call Shutt Law Firm today and make an appointment. Your loved ones will appreciate your planning for the future.

My Experience with Fathers for Equal Rights…read more I rarely leave negative reviews, but I believe fathers deserve to hear my experience before making a decision. I turned to Fathers for Equal Rights during one of the most important custody battles of my life because I believed I would receive knowledgeable guidance. I later learned that the individual I worked with the most, Kirk McCraw, was not my attorney, and to my knowledge, was not a licensed attorney. Had I known that from the beginning, I would have approached the advice I received very differently. Looking back, I learned there is a significant difference between someone sharing personal experiences in family court and receiving guidance from a qualified family law attorney. Throughout my case, Kirk advised me on litigation strategy, discussed which motions I should file, and strongly discouraged me from hiring an attorney at a critical point in my case. I wanted to request a continuance so I could retain counsel for my contempt and custody matters. Instead, I was repeatedly told that attorneys would only continue the case and delay everything. Trusting that advice was one of the biggest mistakes I made. The consequences were severe. My contempt motion failed over what I believed was a procedural issue, my custody case stalled, and I ultimately spent thousands of dollars hiring attorneys to continue fighting for my son and paying attorney's fees to opposing counsel. Months later, after retaining an experienced family law attorney, I continued presenting the evidence I had been gathering and ultimately won sole managing conservatorship of my son. Looking back, I do not believe my evidence was ever the problem. I believe my biggest mistake was not hiring qualified legal counsel from the very beginning. Another thing that stood out to me was that Kirk never wanted our conversations recorded. I often wanted to record meetings simply so I could accurately remember the strategy and instructions being discussed because he covered a tremendous amount of information very quickly. He consistently objected to recording. I cannot speak to his reasons, but after learning he was not a licensed attorney, that decision raised questions in my mind. I also paid for assistance preparing legal motions. After I eventually hired my attorney, she reviewed some of those pleadings and expressed serious concerns about their quality. Ironically, after I began using AI tools to organize my facts and draft motions that I personally reviewed before filing, I believed those filings were clearer and more effective than some of the documents I had previously paid to receive. Communication was another frustration. Whenever I asked questions to better understand legal strategy, I often felt that my questions were viewed as challenges rather than opportunities for discussion. Kirk even told me I was one of the smarter people who had come through the organization but that I could be too smart for my own good and needed to keep things simple. My expectation was that someone helping fathers through life changing litigation would encourage informed questions rather than discourage them. I also personally heard Kirk use the N word jokingly around Black fathers on more than one occasion. Some people appeared comfortable with it. I was not. Regardless of intent, I found that language unprofessional and inappropriate in an organization serving families during difficult legal situations. This review reflects my personal experience. Other fathers may have had different experiences, and I respect that. Mine taught me that when your relationship with your child is on the line, there is no substitute for hiring the best qualified family law attorney you can afford. I learned that lesson the hard way, but I eventually won sole managing conservatorship of my son after obtaining experienced legal representation. I hope my experience helps another father avoid the mistakes I made.

With Lauren's guidance and advocacy, he did not get what he was asking for, and ultimately the outcome worked strongly in my and my child's favor. Lauren was knowledgeable, prepared, responsive, and always straightforward with me.

Family court is incredibly stressful, and having Lauren in my corner made such a difference.

I am sharing my personal experience with attorney Desiree Bedasa because I believe others should…read moreknow what I encountered before deciding whether to retain her. In my case, I felt unprepared for trial. The first meaningful trial preparation I received occurred on the actual day of the hearing. During that preparation, I was asked many of the same questions that were later asked in court. I expected more thorough preparation well in advance so I could understand the process and present my case effectively. I also felt that some of the advice and comments I received did not reflect the reality of my situation. For several years, my child's mother and I shared parenting responsibilities on a week-on/week-off schedule. We each maintained clothing, school items, and necessities for our child, and I provided health insurance coverage. Despite this, I was told that I had been "spoiled" because I was not paying child support, which I found dismissive of the financial and parental contributions I had been making. Communication was another major concern. I often found it difficult to get timely responses to questions. When I informed her that I needed additional time to pay an outstanding balance but intended to pay it, I expected a discussion about possible options. Instead, she withdrew from representing me. What frustrated me most was that I did not receive a phone call to discuss the situation beforehand, which left me feeling abandoned during an important custody matter. Overall, I left the attorney-client relationship feeling unsupported, underprepared, and disappointed with the level of communication and representation I received. This is simply my personal experience, but based on that experience, I would not hire this attorney again and would encourage anyone considering representation to ask detailed questions about communication, trial preparation, and client expectations before retaining counsel.
