DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY. I hired him to represent me for my divorce. You will be told a price at the beginning and they will continue to charge you more money. The only time they would actually speak to you is when you were paying more money. Amanda his paralegal doesn't respond to emails, and never picks up her phone. If you want to know whats going on with your case GOOD LUCK. You will be left with so many unanswered questions. In my final hearing I don't feel like Jesse was as prepared as he should have been, also he didn't send over an important notice to my ex husbands attorney within the appropriate time frame. I would reach out to their office and would not hear from anyone for MONTHS, they didn't seem concerned that this was my life, my livelihood they would schedule meetings and reschedule at the last minute or never even have the meeting. It was beyond stressful trying to communicate with them. When it comes to legal matters go with an attorney that is board certified and be willing to pay more to be represented at a high level and professionally. Hey we live and learn my marriage was a learning experience and hiring this law firm was another one. DON'T hire him, you wont be happy with your experience.

Rude staff - Victoria raising her voice over the phone. Yesterday I called and they said i could do a phone meeting but today i called and Victoria said I could not do a phone meeting with the attorney. Bad experience.
We came to Jesse because we were unsure of what our next steps should be. As soon as we left the consultation we knew we had to hire him. We had a hearing within 2 days and are now going home! We’re happy that we came to the Munguia Law Firm. 5 Stars!

Jesse Munguia is an excellent and professional attorney who worked with me every step of the way. Divorce is never easy, but Jesse made it less stressful. I also greatly appreciate Amanda for all her hard work and all the other office staff that was helpful as well.
Highly recommended!
Thank you so much!

Worst experience ever! Anytime I call, I never receive a callback or it takes days and that is if I am lucky to even be acknowledged. Nothing this lawyer ever did worked in my favor, it all worked against me. He took hundreds of dollars away from me and I have nothing to show for because of his laziness and the little amount he even care about me personally. I was just a paycheck for him.

If I cld put a 0 rate I wld. I went to Jesse 4 yrs ago. 2015 I got him to sign that he was no longer my lawyer. Now I did get my son back in my arms like he promised, $3000 later. Now my court order has change 3 times n he has sign off on everything. This is happen now. My court order is so messed up. Not only has it been change 3 time, my son father is getting want he want written in it. I spent 3 yrs fighting n I'm still fighting. I am filling aggressive against Jesse as soon as I found a lawyer that will take my case which is hard by the way. I got this far.

Jesse is a awesome Attorney I spent a few years with them going through a step parent adoption. Always very timely, and informative. Amanda was always there to answer any questions or concerns the whole step of the way. I couldn't have been more happier with how everything went. I highly would recommend the Munguia Law Firm!!

The most important thing I can tell you is wow how wrong Jesse proved me! Jesses was a court appointed attorney for me. So after doing my research and talking to someone who used him I was terrified I would lose my case. Not only that then when I met him I was thinking oh no he's too nice for this case.... I need a fighter and he does not appear to be that. Well let me just stay stick by him and he WILL STICK BY YOU!!! Guns a blazing if that's what you want he will too. Please remember he is a lawyer and a realist so he has to give you the best and worst case options but if you say no I want to fight he will do what you want. He fought all the way with me it the week before my trial was to begin got a deal I could not pass up. I would have never chose Jesse on my own but now I would gladly pay for Jesse because he is the type of lawyer you want on your side. For the record he does know criminal law and how to win! I had 3 charges one was a felony and I walk out with one misdemeanor and time served on it. Very pleased with my results and Jesse fighting with me every step of the way. Lastly go meet with him at his office as soon as you can... Show up let the girls in the office know who you are they will be working with you a lot so help make there job as easy as possible.... I love all of them and all the work they did for me so hopefully my review will help you but if it does then at least be a good client if you are then go see them!

It is true they only take your money my issue was never resolve. Never return calls they said my case was close never receive any kind of paper work. I had an appointment with child support services to adjust it. Only to find out they can't do anything cause my case with them is still pending after 2 years of being told it was close. I try calling them again no response. $2000 down the drain not including the days i miss from work to go see them and supposly appear in court which they only had me sign some papers and never appear in front of the judge. Please just do more research before hiring their services.

Finding a Lawyer to represent you can be hard, scary and super expensive. When I went to The Munguia Law Firm I was needing a new lawyer in Ellis county to represent me in a modification of custody that my ex started in Bell County. In the previous county I had already spent 8500 on a high price, widely known lawyer and only got a transfer in counties successfully done. My ex-husband had accused me from drug use, family violence, to child abuse and almost any and everything in between. When I met with Jessie I had not seen my son in 4 months I could hardly explain my situation I was so distraught. He listened very closely he quote me a retainer fee that was more than generously low compared to the $350 and hour attorney I had. He even took payments for that. The whole office was always nice and polite they answer my questions, they contacted me back in a reasonable amount of time they never got annoyed or frustrated. And they always knew who I was when I called, they never make you feel like a guest they treat you like family. Ultimately in one court date Mr. Jesse Munguia was able to get modification denied, abatement of child support denied, the ex lost this summer visitation. Considering that my case was looking considerably grave i.e. lose of custody, loss of visitation, public records of abuse allegations along with drug use accusations (could affect my employment), owing child support, excessive bills for numerous things requested in modification. It was a pure blessing to have been defended and found inculpable in the assertions made in the request for custody modification. Jessie and his Firm presented nothing less than honesty, fairness, and transparency; they were knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I recommend them to everyone and will continue to go to them for my legal needs.

Jesse and his team are absolutely amazing. Jesse takes pride at what he does and it showed in the courtroom. He walked me through everything that was going happen and won our case. I highly recommended Jesse and his team to anyone, and I will definitely be referring him to my family and friends for any legal matters.

I came to this office looking for help desperately. My soon to be ex husband took my children and ran. I was able to get an appointment to come in the same day. I explained to Jesse my situation and he gave me a few options. I opted to request a Restraining Order. I am glad to say that thanks to this office I now have sole custody of my children. It was hell in Court but at the end of the day it happened. THANK YOU JESSE

The staff were very nice. However, our phone calls would never get returned. Our adoption was final over a year ago and we still had not received birth certificates to find out that paperwork was never filed by Jesse. We had to drive to Ft. Worth to the courthouse ourselves to get the paperwork to fill out so we could send to Austin to get certificates. All this after there were multiple mistakes in paperwork that had to be filed before the Judge again to be corrected, 4 months after adoption. We called to see about birth certificates on Monday and still have not been called back. So, we just took it into our own hands to get the certificates filed. There were multiple mistakes on paperwork and when we were in court to adopt, the judge was only aware of 1 child to be adopted and we were adopting 2. We were so thankful that she did not make us come back to adopt the 2nd child, she went ahead and did both.

I personally didn’t have the best experience. My documents weren’t sufficient enough for the police or school, there was lack of communication and when I requested call back for things that I was billed for and had no clue went on I did not receive any type of correspondence. Maybe my case wasn’t a major concern since I only paid $2500 up front I just lost all hope it became too depressing

Trying to get divorce for over 2 and half I'm not asking for child support don't even know where is my child father is at. The lawer avoids his responsibility do to your case seeks money only makes your case longer than what it is. Promises to you that it will get done and he doesn't. Seriously dont even bother co tacting him at all not worth your money nor your time

This is by far the worst lawyer and staff I have ever met. Jesse and his ghetto paralegal Amanda are unorganized and do not put their clients first. They have zero communication and dodge your calls and emails. Instead they have some 20 year old receptionist take your call and do nothing. I would never recommend this firm to anyone. Save your time and money and go to a professional lawyer and firm. This firm is a joke.

I am not a client but my sister in law has been with him for the last three years and her case has not been resolved....it takes them days to call back when you call or they are just unaware if what is going on with her case.....worst exoerience by far for her would not recommend unfortunately because her case is so advanced unable to change lawyers and now she is stuck with them.....in my opinion if you have to many cases dont be greedy and take more have the decency of referring them to someone that will help them.....this case should have not taken so long......

My daughter hired this firm for custody issues. She asked me to go with her to a meeting at Jessie's office to prepare for court the following day. I was aprehensive due to her husband's attorney's "bad mouthing" and total disrespect of Jessie and the profession. We met with Jessie and 10 minutes after hearing what he could do for my grand daughter I was convinced we were led by the hand of God to Jessie.
Jessie and his Paralegal are very professional and keep my daughter very informed. There is no Grand Parent rights in Texas but because my daughter told them to keep me in the loop they have been awesome in including me.
I read the negative remarks and I strongly disagree with them. NEVER have I seen any tréatment from anyone in this firm but respect and honesty!!! If I call, I get a return call or the receptionist asks me to hold on and Amanda will usually take my call. I have never witnessed anything these 2 people have mentioned. I HAVE witnessed Jessie and Amanda going above and beyond for my grand daughters case.
I will stand by Jessie and Amanda anyday, anytime, anywhere!!
If anyone needs more info on the work that Jessie or Amanda has done for my grand child and my daughter, call me. I'm in the book.
You will NOT go wrong trusting and hiring this firm!!

I wanted to inform all that are considering an attorney to highly consider Munguia Law Firm. On June of 2016, I had hired a supposed "aggressive, fight for her clients" attorney from Corsicana. Not at any time did she meet any expectation nor was she open to what I or my Babies were looking for within my particular divorce/custody case. Instead she reached an agreement with opposing counsel, informing me that "the law has changed and this is how the law works and it is best to give a little so you can later get more in return." Being novice to this, I confided with what she was doing. I later come to find out that her interests where not in the best interest of my case; thus I terminated her and contracted with Munguia's Law Firm. Since that moment, my case has become Very favorable. We are coming to an end to my case and with all the received changes and Aggressiveness by Mr. Munguia, I am Proud to have him and his staff on my side. I have even gone as far as to Refer many friends and clients of mine to the Munguia Law Firm; among which have informed me of their Satisfaction with their representation. I truly recommend and will advocate for Jesse Munguia and his Practice. He has shown me his ability and desires to Stand and Fight for his clients and for what is Justice and Right.

I hired the Jesse for a custody case in Dallas County. I can say I was a little uneasy because of some of the reviews that I read. However, when I met with him he made me feel at ease right away. I got everything I asked for which was the best part. When I called the office I would leave a message with the receptionist and Amanda or Jesse would call me back no later than the next day. If I had more questions that needed a little more time, all I had to do was call in and set up an appointment and that's exactly what I got. All I can say is I highly recommend this office for any legal needs you may have!!

Incredibly unprofessional. Neither the attorney nor his assistant were in the office when I arrived for my appointment. The day of I was called to confirm a different time than I'd agreed to. When someone finally was able to confirm the actual appointment time it was over an hour after the initial appointment confirmation phone call. When I arrived in the office the secretary didn't even greet my mother and I and knew nothing of my reason for being there. After 20 minutes I asked if she knew how long until we'd be seen her answer came in the form of a shrug of her shoulders saying they were in court. The office was dirty and not well organized and the questionnaire I was asked to fill out felt more like a criminal interrogation than questions pertaining to a divorce and child support and custody. I would not recommend anyone attempt to use this attorney. In fact I would recommend they NOT even think of calling them for anything. It was a complete waste of time.

I came to the Munguia law firm to see if they could help my son and me because the court papers that we currently had were not capable of protecting us from the situations that had been occurring with the coparent. I was truly in fear for our lives. I met with Amanda for the first consultation. She was unbelievably understanding and concerned about us. She explained the process to me and about what they could provide us and how they could help. She was so sweet and so I hired them that day. Amanda told me to send them any documentation that I had that would support our situation. I had 2 years of texts, video recordings, and voice recordings that I had sent them. There was so much that they would have to sort through! I was worried, based off of previous lawyers that I had, that all the things that I had sent them would be overwhelming and they wouldn't go through it all and that all my efforts in the past 2 years would have been unknown to the judge. The morning of my court date came and I met Jesse in front of the court room. He had gone through every text, printed them out, and labeled them according to each specific incident. He had all the voice recordings ready to be heard and every video recording ready to be viewed! My eyes watered when I saw that there was so much effort and true care put into my son and my situation. Before I met Jesse and Amanda, I had gone to multiple police stations, lawyers, and courts trying to get help and my voice was never heard. I truly thought that we would have to be hurt before the courts were capable of helping us. Jesse was able to get us the protection we needed and he helped us to be able to go back to a somewhat normal life. I am so lucky that I came across the Munguia Law Firm and was helped by them!! I would recommend them to anyone. They care about their clients and it definitely showed to me.

I have used this Amazing Lawyer now for going on 7 years with both of my sons. He has always been 100% honest and upfront with me and he is a snake in the court room. He has never mislead me and has always kept me informed. His Head Paralegal Amanda always keeps me in the loop and informed and they both always make sure i know exactly what to expect when making legal decisions and never leave me feeling uncertain about any decisions I have made. Thank you Jesse for 7 years of hard work and dedication to My Boys & I. Looking forward to getting to the bottom of this case with you so we can start the next one .
