Sam and his crew of hard working ladies served me well! Sam is a military vet so I recommend him for any service member or veteran. He understands and will be up front and honest with good recommendations! Other lawyers in town will advertise about military and family experience because they have none! I recommend Sam over all others! read more

TOTAL SCAM!! Do not waste your money. My husband and I hired Claire after having a bad experience with another Abilene attorney , Claire assured us that she would be able to help my husband with his custody case. After months and months of unreturned phone calls and messages the paralegal tells My husband he needs to pay more money !! ‍ 7,500K gone and no help , months without seeing his son and Claire could care less about helping him. She also told us she charges us a HIGHER RETAINER BECAUSE SHE HAD TO DEAL WITH CORY CLEMENTS another Abilene attorney. Come to find out we were told her and Cory are actually really close friends so she's just literally scamming people. Her job is clearly about taking peoples money and NOT helping her clients. She surely doesn't care about the best interest for any child either. My husband fired her and found someone else. I could write more but I'll save it. If you google other reviews there are hundreds of terribly experiences just like ours. Stay away from this company. read more

Horrible service and communication. I hired Sam to get rid of a PI charge, he gave me the first meeting, asked me to pay a $2500 retainer and that was the last time I heard from him. No matter how many times I called to get an update he would never return my calls. I was totally in the dark, no letter in the mail, no phone calls, nothing. I eventually had to hire another lawyer out of Houston, TX. Really frustrating. Do not use this firm, once they get your money they will forget about you. read more

I would not recommend Clair Mehaffey to anyone. I hired her to get full custody of my daughter because she was being sexually molested by the her maternal uncle. When my wife and I sat down with Claire and explained the situation, she said that this was going to be an open and close case and she could get a temporary custody order signed as soon as she got her retainer fee of $3500.00. For my daughter's protection, we managed to pay her in full and she said the documents were ready to be sign by the judge.I was fortunate of the timing because according to Claire's assistant, Claire got the judge to sign the temporary order while my daughter was still in my custody so the law firm advised me there was no need to return her to her mother. Little did I know, the judge didn't sign the paper until the next day and I was convinced to go against my current court orders. I attended the first court hearing and Claire came in 5 minutes before the court time unprepared. Unfortunately, the judge denied the motion to keep my daughter because of the previous events leading up to not giving her back. After Claire recieved her retainer fee, she left me in the dark and never communicated with me. When I would call her, I gave her assistant a callback message and my call was never returned. The day before the final hearing, I got an unexpected call from Claire's assistant to come to the office and sign some papers for court. Claire was not in the office, so the assistant went over the paperwork I signed and told me I needed to bring my Tax returns to court the next day. The next day, Claire showed up 2 minutes before we were required to start and asked me if I still wanted full custody or if I was willing to go back to the original court orders. I thought it was odd for her to ask that seeing as I originally hired her to get full custody she lost case and has not returnd my phone calls in over 7 weeks read more

Horrible service!! Do not use them. I hired Claire and she did absolutely nothing in fact she did worse than nothing she got my kids taken away from me and I have been under supervised visitation with 1800$ in child support and 250$ in medical support and I had to give my only vehicle to the opposing party to drive during temporary orders which have still lasted for 4 years now!!! My life is ruined because of this firm! She did not advise me properly and never answered or called me back. She really deserves to have her licensed taken away!! Mine and the kids lives have been devastatingly altered due to her incompetence and horrible or lack of advising!!!!! read more

WARNING - A MUST READ BEFORE RETAINING! Upon the request of Ms Mehaffey and her assistant, I first paid a $5000 retainer and was later emailed a contract to sign. Ms Mehaffey assured me that I would receive a refund if I decided not to hire her. When I read the contract I realized I could not agree to its terms, especially the Replenishment of Retainer Clause and the additional excessive fees. The contract also clearly stated that legal representation does not commence until the retainer is paid and contract signed. I did not sign and informed Ms Mehaffey that I was not going to hire her. However, she refused to refund my retainer in full. She claimed that she did work on my behalf, to note without my knowledge or permission. I have never known a lawyer to do work on a case without a signed contract in place. A grievance filing and lawsuit are sure to follow unless Ms Mehaffey begins to behave ethically and morally. Her actions are a disgrace to the legal profession. read more
