I can't say enough good things about Christine Pacheco. I had a very difficult family matter and…read morecould find no one who would represent me until I met Christine. I had a good feeling about her the minute we met. She took a heartbreaking situation and turned it around to a fair and compassionate resolution for everyone involved. She had the strength and courage to see what needed to be done, despite being told by colleagues that what she wanted to do couldn't be done. She didn't care, she did what was right for both me and my family. I owe her a huge debt of gratitude for both her professionalism and her heart. Thank you Christine. Best, Sheryl Gillett Caudana

Mrs Pacheco answered all my grandmothers questions and more. The receptionist/ person scheduling the appointments is very rude and didn't understand what elder care was. Sounds bad but I had to dumb it down for the lady so she could understand. I hope Mrs Pacheco realizes she might be losing clients due to her receptionists inadequacies.

Unethical, negligent, and self-serving. I retained this attorney to assist with my father's estate,…read moreand what followed was a disturbing pattern of contradiction, manipulation, and self-dealing. He ignored every email, missed critical deadlines, and offered shifting advice that eroded any trust in his representation. To make matters worse, I was pressured into using his spouse as the realtor under the guise of a "one-stop shop." When I hesitated to sell, she called me directly and used emotional pressure to make me feel guilty. Both profited from the estate--he collected tens of thousands in fees, she earned commissions--while I was left to deal with unanswered questions, lost documents, and procedural failures. This was not advocacy. It was exploitation. If you're seeking transparency, accountability, or even basic professionalism, look elsewhere. I am coordinating with a team of attorneys to file formal complaints with the Texas State Bar, the Texas Real Estate Commission, and the Texas Board of Public Accountancy. This attorney has done this to others--I'm not the only one. If you're dealing with similar misconduct or feel you've been taken advantage of, you're not alone. Feel free to reach out--I'm happy to share resources, offer guidance, or help you start the grievance process. Contact me at: ExposeUnethicalTX@gmail.com

When I was searching for a divorce attorney, several I first consulted with, said to make sure to…read moresee Doris so I can conflict her out, so as to not have her against me. I thought, wait a minute, if they are all telling me that I dont want Doris against me, then maybe she is the one I want for me. Thank God I did, my ex tried to take everything from me as well as trying to get me into criminal trouble for her fabricated BS. Doris was a no-nonsense direct attorney, kept me abreast of all that was taking place, and basically told the other attorney to jump in a lake. She saved me tremendous grief and heartache. Dont overtook her.

I hired Doris Sipes in good faith. But she took my money and ignored case handling that she full…read morewell intended to do. It took over one year to get away from this bad-faith and so-called "Lawyer" whose exprtise is in The Scam, The Sham, The Swindle and Con-Artistry at its best. This is because Doris Sipes is not a working lawyer. She is actually a stay at home in actual retirement that she and her staff keep secret. She feigns being a working lawyer in order to rip off every cent possible. Doris Sipes has no right continuing to advertise herself as a working lawyer because she does not work. My personal experience is that the Doris Sipes office and everyone in it is a fraud. The recommendation is don't go there where bad faith rules. Believe the negative reviews and heed. If you see a positive one believe that it is a: plant. This former client is trying to save you considering hiring her, from such heartbreak as mine her cause of losing $10,000 to Doris Sipes, $20,000 more that she unlawfully took from my funds to which she had no right, and a whopping case loss of $400,000 for her intentional non-handling to which she intentionally remained silent. I have relocated from El Paso because I do not wish to breathe the same air that despicable Doris Sipes breathes. Save yourself(ves).

My son recently passed and my ex-husband first agreed on funeral arrangements but then blindsided…read moreme and changed his mind the day of the funeral. I spent the next month fighting on my own and trying to find an attorney. I finally found Forbes and Forbes who said they would assist me. I spent 1,500.00 for them to not provide any assistance and act like it was an inconvenience to respond to me. My ex-husband conceded without the law office assistance and so I spent all that money for them to demand that I do everything on my own and provide them with the paperwork. I felt like it was a waste of money nor did they assist me in a timely manner in the most difficult time of my life. I would not recommend them as a law firm.

DO NOT HIRE ERICA RIOS…read more This attorney took $5,000 from my family for a high-stakes custody case involving false abuse allegations, CPS investigations, and ongoing Interference with "Court-Ordered Possession/Access" under the Texas Penal Code § 25.03. Even after my most recent temporary hearing court-ordered rights, and did absolutely nothing. She never filed a single motion. She never sent documentation (including the closed El Paso CPS report). She never gave a billing breakdown, despite multiple requests. She communicated through my father, not directly with me. She tried to withdraw without cause, and I'm still listed as her client because I refused to sign off on her abandonment. I've had to go pro se and file my own enforcement and contempt motions just to protect my time with my daughter. The State Bar failed to act on my first grievance, so I've now filed complaints with the Texas Attorney General and District Attorney for misrepresentation, fraud, and dereliction of duty. If you are dealing with a family matter, especially one involving children. STAY FAR AWAY from Erica Rios. She will take your money and leave you alone in the most critical moment of your life.

We were lost before we came to Erica. We had two other consultations with lawyers who made things…read moreseem complicated. When we sat down with Erica, we were immediately put at ease. She made it feel that something could be done with what we felt was a stressful and impossible case. She assured us that we were not alone in our particular situation and was very calming, yet professional. She was very knowledgeable and experienced. At the same time, she was very honest about what the worst case scenario would be and patient with answering and explaining all of our many questions. She, unlike many lawyers that we have had prior experience with, would be prompt to return our calls, e-mails or letters. We were never left in the dark. In addition to that, her office assistant was very pleasant and relatable. Overall, she made a bad situation not so bad. We highly recommend her.

I turned in my…read morepaperwork to Raymond back in Sept. of 2023, and he kept telling me he could not find the defendant, even though I gave him the address. He said he would call me with updates on how everything was going. As of today, 2-2-24, he has NEVER called me back with updates, I've always had to call him. Last time I spoke with him in December, he told me he was going to leave the paperwork at the father's house on 1-6-24. I didn't hear from him, so I called and called, and his voicemailbox is not set up. After trying for over 2 weeks, now the phone number is disconnected. Will be driving to the office to get my paperwork back! Beware anyone who does bussiness with him!!!

Raymond from Cherokee Process Server is a definite hire if you have process server needs. I had…read morenever had to have someone served before, and not only did Cherokee Process Servers explain every step of the process to me in detail, Raymond got the person in my case served THE SAME DAY. Add the fact that we only spoke over the phone, and I provided all my content and info via email. There was tremendous opportunity for delay or mistakes, but Raymond was a true professional and handled this prickly case. And that is no small feat as this person I needed served is extremely toxic, and of course, he took some unwarranted verbal abuse from them (which is a shame as that person knows the process well since I was served by this individual in a spectacularly public fashion some years ago). But I digress. Raymond gave me a simple, but clear list of things he needed to get the job done, and was responsive to my questions and concerns. He is even able to reach out and touch military personnel, as my case is, to get them served in a timely fashion. And the best part is, he sent me the needed documents for the court as soon as possible. Again, all done virtually without ever having to meet in person, and might I add, in the apparent deathly heat of El Paso, Texas. The prices was very, very reasonable, and again, Raymond explained how it works to me, what my cost would be, and that was exactly what I paid AFTER he completed the service. I can't stress this enough -- Cherokee Process Server proved to me they are a first-class organization and are highly capable of delivering on anyone's process server needs. They are an accredited business, and Raymond is a veteran as well. There was no downside to hiring them. Take this from a complete novice who walked away from this process extremely satisfied, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat! Thanks, Cherokee Process Server! Very grateful for your help!
