Lishman Law, PLLC

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Lishman Law during one of the most vulnerable and difficult periods of my life. I paid nearly $14,000 in legal fees and was left feeling that very little meaningful work was accomplished in my case. My case was initially assigned to Andrea Chavez. During her representation, she went on vacation, and I felt that important aspects of my case were not being properly handled. I constantly had to follow up, send reminders, and push for necessary work to be completed. Most of my emails were answered by a paralegal who, in my experience, was not always familiar with the details of my case. Despite this, I incurred substantial charges for communications, including approximately $400 in charges associated with emails involving paralegal staff. I also questioned charges for tasks that appeared to require only a few minutes. The billing accumulated rapidly, while I saw very little corresponding progress. Without my requesting it, the firm transferred my case from Andrea to Sarah Lishman. Sarah appeared unfamiliar with critical aspects of my financial circumstances, the history of my case, and the evidence I had provided. I was extremely concerned that significant financial discovery had not been requested, despite my repeatedly emailing the firm to explain that the existing discovery was incomplete and insufficient. Rather than feeling that my concerns were being addressed, I felt that the firm attempted to shift responsibility onto me for inconsistencies and problems that I had repeatedly brought to their attention. I hired attorneys because I needed knowledgeable professionals to protect my interests, investigate the financial issues, and advocate for me. Instead, I felt like I was doing much of the work myself while being charged substantial legal fees. What disappointed me most was the lack of accountability and compassion. Divorce and custody proceedings are already emotionally and financially exhausting. I trusted this firm during an incredibly vulnerable chapter of my life, and I felt that my circumstances were taken for granted. Based on my experience, the firm’s billing seemed to be a greater priority than providing effective legal services. I paid nearly $14,000 and did not receive the level of preparation, communication, financial investigation, or representation that I reasonably expected. I would not recommend Lishman Law based on my personal experience. Anyone considering this firm should carefully review every invoice, ask detailed questions about billing practices, clarify who will actually handle their case, and ensure that important legal work is being completed. No client should have to constantly chase their attorney to get work done while paying thousands of dollars for representation.

We selected Lishman Law after hearing many great reviews, and they certainly lived up to their reputation. Mrs. Avery and Mrs. Tyree handled our adoption case with professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail. They kept us informed throughout every step of the process and were always available to answer our questions. Our case was completed in a surprisingly short timeframe, and we always felt confident that we were in good hands. We truly appreciate the excellent service and personal attention they provided during such an important time for our family. We would highly recommend Lishman Law, Mrs. Avery, and Mrs. Tyree to anyone in need of legal services. They made what could have been a stressful process much easier and were a pleasure to work with!

Avery Tucker of Lishman Law is fantastic! I can't recommend my attorney enough. From the very beginning, she was professional, focused, responsive, and always kept my best interests in mind. I was managing a complex custody case from out of state, which could have easily become overwhelming, but she made the entire process feel manageable and stress-free. She took the time to explain each step, answered all of my questions, and ensured I understood my options before making any decisions. I never felt rushed or left in the dark. Her communication was excellent, and I always knew where my case stood. What truly set her apart was her honesty and integrity. She was very mindful of my retainer and never wasted my money or anyone’s time. She only used the trust funds when necessary or when I specifically approved, showing how much she respects her clients and their finances. Her rates were also very reasonable, especially given the exceptional level of service she provided. She is knowledgeable, strategic, compassionate, and incredibly efficient. Every dollar I spent was well worth it. If you’re seeking one of the best attorneys in the San Antonio area, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She exceeded my expectations in every way, and I will always be grateful for everything she did for me.
