Prater & Ridley

Mrs. Prater represented me for the past 5 years. While it was a difficult experience overall, Mrs. Prater and her team provided me with incredible support and walked alongside me for the entire time. Mrs. Prater has an amazing work ethic, she’s sympathetic and does a great job explaining everything in the case. She has the most incredible team. They’re all very responsive and knowledgeable. I was constantly updated on my case and they were always available when my family and I had questions. I’m so thankful for the amazing job that Mrs. Prater and her team do.

My lawyer that I used is name Mr Ridley Very nice good Lawyer. Located in Temple. His paralegal is his wife Sandy very helpful.Only thing is it has taken me 14 month to receive the draft to proof read. I recommend them…

I used this firm for my child custody/child support case (specifically Mr. Ridley) and I was glad I did. They were with me every step of the way his paralegal team kept me informed about everything. It alleviated the stressfulness of my situation and I was able to get everything settled with no problem. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

He's a very good Attorney have used him for many years.

I wish I would have read previous reviews and not relied on the old “Carol Prator” reputation of being a good stand-up/fight for what’s right lawyer, because unfortunately the attorneys coat tailing under her name are not near up to par with that type of expectation. If you have an easy open/close case and need someone to submit and sign paperwork, you might be okay. If you need an actual lawyer to stand up for you and your children and do anything besides bare minimum, while leaving you to have to make (and be charged) for multiple phone calls and emails for nearly a year just to get updates with no actual change or update, just repetitive repertoire of “checking on this” with no outcome even after making additional payments after your retainer. Just don’t…I gladly fired Elizabeth for her lack of professionalism as a lawyer and genuine lack of care as a family lawyer after she told me herself (and I quote) that she was “too busy” to take care of things retained and paid for months and almost a year prior to, with not even more than a temporary court date filed for since. If you want to waste your money and time, or have a simple case then I might recommend this office. If you want someone who actually cares after being paid and stands by their word/oath, don’t even waste your money consulting with this office. I’d throw money away before I retained this office ever again, it’s basically the same thing. I hope this review helps another single mother/father out there who’s looking for a good lawyer and to steer clear of what used to be a good reputable office and unfortunately is not the case anymore. Absolutely pathetic legal representation and I can’t say that enough. There’s plenty of other good, ethical, standup lawyers in the area, don’t waste your time, money and energy with this subpar attorneys office.
