Hired Attorney

David Hester, his partner Trey Flynn and the rest of the staff at Hester and Flynn are an outstanding legal team. They are highly knowledgeable, tenacious in the courtroom, responsive to their client's concerns and most of all patient. They understand that their clients aren't calling them under the best circumstances and they do their best to provide both reassurance and confidence. Above all else, Hester and Flynn are winners. I would recommend them to anyone.

Hired Attorney

This attorney is very special. The first time I spoke to him he took the time to find out about me and my case. He was well prepared when I went to court. He knew the custody law and how to win my case. I got custody of my son after attorney Hesser recommended a custody evaluation. All the other attorneys I spoke to did not give me a chance.

Hired Attorney

Is it possible to give 0 Stars? This "Attorney" represented me for a few year attempting to gain child custody or a fair visitation schedule. If you want someone to actually speak to you, it is Not him! If you want someone to have no knowledge or concern and go behind closed doors and come out and just tell you how he folded on your rights and did not represent you, this is your guy. We upgraded from "Reasonable Visitation" where the mother denied visits to a set schedule that she refused to sign. Every trip to court she still refused, the court never enforced anything and when we took her for contempt I was told I wasn't able to be there for that. He simply agreed to whatever she wanted and called me like it was a good deal without disclosing much. I expressed that I disagree and even text after. After continuing to ask for documents from the court and David's team I was finally provided them 6 months later. Beyond unacceptable! Avoid this man, he is I'll prepared and don't care.

Hired Attorney

Very unprepared. Rated as a SUPER ATTORNEY in Rapides Parish and is anything but super. If you only want to speak to an attorney once about your case, or have one that comes unprepared to court to represent you -- then he is your attorney. The only thing he brought with him to court is a legal pad where the intial consultation notes were taken. That is what he went off of. He did NOT win my case and I was very unhappy with the outcome. Very expensive for something I could have represented myself

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
