Hired Attorney Mr. Brian Tackett

I hired Brian and his firm to do a step parent adoption. From start to finish Brian and his paralegal were awesome. They sent the discovery paperwork once I returned it they had the paperwork done within a day. He warned me that it could be a lengthy process depending on the circumstances. He was able to send me to a social worker and we were able to schedule and complete the home study within a couple of weeks. Then Covid happened and it changed how some of the process would happen. Even with Covid occurring we were able to get it completed within a couple of months. Then they even facilitated the birth certificate/name change. The entire process was completed by the end of June. I highly recommend Brian.

Hired Law Firm

We had a great experience working with this law firm. We had a unique logistical situation with some parties in different states and they were very accommodating to our situation. They explained the process very thoroughly and kept in communication through the entire process. Highly recommended!

Hired Law Firm

I was referred to this office and after meeting Mr. Berry and other employees, Trey and Colby I knew I had the right place. I had a will probated, which was very hard after three years of trying to get out of feeling it. They were empathetic, very understanding, very much in touch with each step and what to expect next. I was sad and angry and they really understood. I will never go anywhere else. They really are great. Even the front desk. Very compassionate.

Hired Law Firm

If anyone needing a confident, efficient, strong, hard working, down to earth attorney, hire Thomas Edward Little! I highly recommend him for women or men alike. He will represent you well, and get the job done right for you! I am happy I hired Thomas Little as my attorney for the separation, divorce, child custody, and child support legal proceedings.

Hired Attorney Mr. Jeffrey Vanzant

NRP hired Lance to undertake local politics, entitlements and platting. He and his assistant Adriana did a stellar job of navigating the challenges, daily changes and redirects and unpredictability of gaining approvals for our Multifamily project

Hired Attorney William Scazzero

William was my legal counsel regarding an issue with an oil and gas company. He not only demonstrated professionalism, I have never met a sharper attorney. He answered every question I had thoroughly, and when the matter was resolved, we went to closing. The day of closing he was available numerous times to take my calls and remained available all day. Based on our confidence with him, my entire family and friends have his contact information with my highest recommendation and confidence.

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

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
