Im not sure why someone gave mrs lingerfelt a low score. She is my court appointed attorney and i feel like i hit the lottery! She has been a rock star and been on top of everything. She responds when I message her through the portal, she has a great relationship with the courts. Lawywrs aren’t magicians, so they can only work with what youve given them. But seriously she is REALLY good! She will be my 1st choice if i ever need to hire another family law attorney! Thank you mrs lingerfelt!
1 star is too much for this firm. Wade Gent was assigned to be the receiver in a divorce case I am party to. He claims to know "everyone" in Kaufman County and can get things done. He does NOTHING he says he will do. We needed a notarized lien release for a client to pay our business. It has been months and still not done. One of our vehicles was stolen. A witness identified the person who did it and saw the vehicle at that person's house. It took Wade WEEKS to bring a sheriff to the location. Of course it was gone by then. Now when the business is ready to be sold and the divorce finalized, he is MIA again. It's been 3 weeks and we can't get a simple purchase agreement done. I went on RocketLawyer and did it myself and asked him to just take a minute to review it. Even that is too much for him to do. Worst experience with an attorney EVER. God help you if he is appointed a receiver for you.
Awful experience with Maranatha Lingerfelt. She told me everything I wanted to hear in our initial consult, only to completely mishandle my case. She would go weeks at a time without responding to emails or messages, and even neglected to tell me about a hearing until I finally tracked her down a week after the hearing happened. We met on two different occasions solely to discuss poor communication, and each time she made excuses, apologized, and promised things would be better. I ultimately had to drop my case because of gross errors made on her part. This isn't just my opinion, I consulted with subsequent attorneys during and after, and both confirmed gross errors were made on her part. I also by chance met another client of hers who also confirmed the exact same scenario for their case. You've been warned...
