He passed without a will and so our lawyer, Megan Watkins, was able to walk us through each step of the long process. We live in WA State so she had to work with us remotely. She was also accommodating to family dynamics with my step family which was appreciated. Megan answered all our questions and I felt well represented. She was upfront about our options and related additional costs when relevant. The billing process was straightforward and easy to follow. I found her to be professional, knowledgeable and patient when needed. I would highly recommend working with her.

In 2017 and 2018 this firm helped with probate and the resolution of my late wife 's estate. The…read morebillable hours charged to and paid by my daughter (executor of the estate) were considerable. The invoices for services rendered and fees from June 2017 through May 2018 total almost $11,000, and at least one earlier invoice had been submitted and paid. In 2019 I needed a small change to my own will (the name of a beneficiary, altered from a relative's family trust to the relative's full name). I approached the Osborne Hellman etc. firm about the matter, since they had written my will many years ago and had the original copy in their lock-box. In reply I received a letter from Mark Osborne, apparently the son of the senior partner Duncan Osborne, signed and dated June 18, 2019, informing me that the Associate who had worked on my wife's estate, Joshua P. Rogers, had left the firm, and that the firm did not have another attorney to assign to my need. This I felt was shabby business practice. I cannot recommend the Osborne firm to anyone. I found another Austin attorney and transferred all my legal business to him.

Jessica Warren's expert legal knowledge, direct/efficient approach and legal representation has been exceptionally helpful to me, several times, helping me navigate some of the more challenging and stressful periods of my life. Warren & Lewis has helped me create my own full set of estate planning documents, as well as assisted with execution and administration of my father's estate after he passed away, including probate, creation of trusts, legal assistance with transference of real estate, etc. I HIGHLY recommend Warren & Lewis. Jessica will continue to be my, and my family's, go-to legal resource for any estate assistance we may need in the future.

My husband and I just completed our estate planning with Amanda Lewis. Obviously, this is not the…read moremost upbeat subject to discuss, but Amanda made the process as simple and easy as possible. She knows this area of the law in and out and was incredibly helpful as she explained "what was what" and worked with us to meet our objectives. Amanda helped us with delicate detailed situations and was supportive and knowledgable as we developed our plan. We felt like it was truly a team effort, with her working hard to make sure our needs were met and that we were satisfied with the end result. Furthermore, she was incredibly patient and flexible as we juggled appointments with summer, work schedules, and busy kids. She even offered to come to us when we were unable to make it to her office. Essentially, she provides a big firm caliber of work with a small town personal feel. The contents of the legal documents are comprehensive, detailed and well organized, and beautifully presented in a very professional binder. We know that our estate plan and wills are bound to change as our lives change. Luckily, Amanda has promised to be there for us when we are ready to make adjustments. Again, it's hard to think about the events that could require these documents to be put into action, but after working with Amanda, we feel like we are leaving our children and family in the best position that we can. We could not have done this without Amanda. We look very forward to working with her again in the future. PS. Her assistant was wonderful, too!! So sweet and friendly! She even drove to my house to have me sign a document that I had forgotten to sign!

I hate to publish this review, because as a human being I really like Mrs. Benouis. However I could…read morenever recommend her as your divorce attorney if you are going through a difficult divorce. There were many elements missing, and I can only cover a few, but here goes: There was a lack of a strategy, mathematical competence, and frankly focus. I was recommended to sign, and did an atrocious 'Temporary Orders' that was very beneficial to my ex, which incited here to not move towards a divorce at all. My eventual replacement attorneys told me it was the most one sided temp orders that they had every seen, against me. There were 6 figure math errors on the asset spreadsheet. I was charged thousands of dollars for this spreadsheet and I literally fixed it myself in 2-3 hours. There was significant work that I did regarding pre-marital financial claims and that I provided to Cathy, that was quite useful to my next attorneys, that she didn't even utilize. They just sat in a pile. My wife had committed criminal acts that Cathy refused to broach (even though I asked her to over and over), that my second attorneys were quickly able to leverage to get me a favorable settlement. Essentially Cathy placed no financial or time pressure upon my ex, therefore handicapping my settlement. Cathy offered 62% of the considerable estate to my ex at mediation. In the end my wife got about 45% of the estate based on my legitimate separate property claims. Pretty certain Cathy marks up outside services such as financial tracings, thousands of dollars since she sent me extra invoices that the Tracing company knows nothing about. She will charge you extra if you pay her using CCs whereas other attorneys don't. On more than one occasion she called me while driving around, with bad reception, 1x while driving through a drive-thru, and billed me $600/ hour for this. Eventually when I realized how bad my representation was, I made a list of my complaints, it was sort of a last chance for her to acknowledge her mistakes. She gaslit me more than my ex-wife, denying everything, messing up numbers in her explanation, etc.! I swapped attorneys (Smith & Bledsoe were my new attorneys) and when I told Cathy she made it clear that I would regret it terribly and be back. Boy was she wrong. My new attorneys quickly turned the tide of the case. They (new attorneys) filed a reciprocal Discovery and in it brought up my wife's criminal actions (things I had requested Cathy to do repeatedly, and she had all but refused) which instantly led my wife to pursue settling the divorce. My new attorneys were 66% of the hourly rate of Cathy, btw. In fact they didn't charge me for brief e-mail communications (i.e. can I swing by to talk), something for which I was billed for constantly with Cathy. I wasted $10s of thousands of dollars with Cathy, and so much personal stress and extra time that was totally unnecessary as a result of using Cathy. I also almost lost an extra $500K or so. Nothing was going to make my ex-wife reasonable, but the correct strategy makes a huge difference. My divorce is now settled although I still have 3 weeks to go till I get my home back. I really don't know how Cathy has so many glowing reviews. Maybe she was a different attorney in years past. That said, I would not take down this review unless I received a significant refund on the services I paid for, that frankly were not worth the money. Choose wisely!

We had been talking about making a will for quite some time and when the Covid-19 situation arose,…read morewe decided it was at the top of our list. We contacted a couple of other estate planning attorneys in the area, but one came across very abrupt in personality and the other had very confusing and wonky pricing. Melissa was very thorough and down-to-earth in her response, and her pricing very straightforward and easy to understand. Because of the shelter in place restrictions, we conducted our meetings through zoom. Melissa was so very nice and helpful with every question we had! Trust me, she has the kind of personality you will absolutely like, and is very knowledgeable regarding estate planning and law. We sent her several emails and she was always very prompt in answering and very thorough. Our final signing was done in her office parking lot, maintaining 6ft distancing and gloves and masks. Despite all the restrictions, everything went smoothly and we were very happy that the whole process was so easy during these difficult times. Thank you, Melissa!
