    This is the worst experience with an attorney I have had. It has been a tremendous burden on my…read morelife during a very difficult time. I often wonder how people like this are allowed to keep practice and take others hard-working dollars. I am a very strong- independent woman, and I understand an attorney's fiduciary right to me. I am preparing for Medical School and currently in a top-ranked MBA program in the nation, trying to rebuild my life after 17 years in an abusive relationship so that I can provide for my seven children and future grandchildren. I saved my student loans, slept in my car and gave Carol everything I had- $17,000 to represent me against my ex-husband and his family. She does not respond to calls. She and her staff play the power games so evident for self-validation in this society, and any attempt to play along just to get what is best for my children is useless. I would advise anyone as one of my professors and top ranked author's has- attorney's are fiduciary- they have to look out for their client and what is best for their client, hold them to that- do not use this firm. My attorney does not respond. I send her everything I think she may need and tell her to tell me to stop because I hired her for a reason, because she knows. It has been almost a year dead on and she at first said after the new year, then let the children finish school, then I am having heart surgery (I am a nurse and was very compassionate toward this for months) then the next school year rolls around- no child support, responses stop, nothing. I call and say I understand the health issue and her paralegal Melanie told me point blank it has nothing to do with Carol's health. I have a speech impediment which has plagued me, and even though strong, I feel it is because I have constantly stood against ridicule. The paralegal Melanie on the phone mocked my speak and belittled it, and belittled me. I have no clue how this is any type of service to anyone especially at such a high price. Also, our case was in Milam county. The judge's wife worked with my ex husband at the time for the small Cameron ISD. When I would bring things up that my ex-husband did (he was representing himself) Carol would say that "we cannot say that, the judge's wife works there too." I asked to have the case moved and she didn't try. My ex-husband didn't agree and she just looked at the judge and shrugged her shoulders. I asked again and no response. Update 08.31.2019 After posting this review I received an email from my attorney which I will post. She stated that I needed to take my review down, say that I was upset, or she would not represent me. If I took it down she would continue to represent me. If not she would return $6000 of the $17,000. The thing is, the whole time she represented me I saw two invoices for serving my ex-husband. Nothing else.

    i used carol prater for my divorce lawyer back in 2012 because she came highly recommended. what i…read morebig mistake. she is the rudest person i have ever met. she showed no empathy towards my situation what so ever. she over charges and over bills you. make sure you keep up with every single phone call (every second you are on the phone, even if you are on hold) and every email, and every text message. she encourages you to text her and to call her, even though she never calls you back or texted you back but she charges you for her to read those text messages or to have her secretary read the text messages you send to her. one of her assistants will, well maybe will, call you back. and when it comes time for a court date, you can bet she will not be there and will send one of her assistants. ~~~~~do not use carol prater~~~~~

    Let me start by saying: DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER. I contacted…read morenumerous attorneys regarding filing Bankruptcy. I was totally scratching my head because they all told me something different. Some said : I dont know. Some said: We will have to see I even started to pay one, come to find out, they knew nothing about the Haven Act. Haven Act lets you exclude your VA benefits...which makes it easier to qualify for the Chapter 7. I called Erin B, Shank office. I mostly spoke with Melissa (Tough Cookie) (she is all about the business) Stern, firm, and gives you yes and no answers. It happened exactly like they said it would. I got my discharge today. Ms. Shank is also a jewel. Very personable. Please see this attorney for your bankruptcy questions, concerns, issues. Not to mention a payment plan. And absolutely not this is not a paid endorsement.

    My case is still being worked, so I cant say one way or another as to how effective she is, But I…read morecan say that Erin B. Shank has always made time for me and has been very supportive of my situation. I'm a disabled Veteran and she has made my life easier in that she has taken the worry out of my problem. Her staff is always friendly and willing to listen. I no longer suffer sleepless nights over an issue I cant control, because I know she is in my corner and representing me. Her fee's are very reasonable and in my current situation money was a huge issue and she didnt want to make it worse. I highly recommend her services !!
