1 /5 J Donnelly: BUYER BEWARE. I paid Mr. Rey over $6,000 for my divorce case and received absolutely NO tangible results after several months of representation. Not a single meaningful advancement in my case occurred despite this substantial investment.
Whats most troubling is how extraordinarily sensitive this attorney was to client feedback. When I simply requested more assertive representation after months of inaction, Mr. Rey terminated our relationship THE VERY NEXT DAY via email. He didnt even give me the courtesy of a phone call after working together for months and taking thousands of my dollars. No discussion, no attempt to address concerns - just immediate termination.
This experience taught me a harsh lesson: after paying thousands of dollars and investing months into your case with this attorney, you can be dropped without warning if you dare to question the effectiveness of the representation. I had to start completely over with a new attorney, causing significant additional expense, stress, and delays.
If youre considering hiring representation that welcomes client input or expects results for your money, my experience suggests you should look elsewhere. In my opinion, an attorney who abandons a client immediately after receiving feedback demonstrates that collecting fees is far more important than client satisfaction or professional responsibility.
Update: Mr. Reys response confirms immediate termination after feedback while avoiding the core issues: $6,000 spent with no results and unprofessional email dismissal. The Texas Lawyers Creed referenced in Mr. Reys response is a professional standard binding only attorneys, not clients, yet was inappropriately cited as justification for termination after I requested more effective representation. This misapplication of professional standards to regulate client feedback demonstrates precisely the sensitivity to criticism described in my original review.
