The Law Offices and Mediation Center of Susan M. Edmonson - Galveston (TX)

1 /5 Southern Soul Tarot TrueCrime: I would not recommend for families/parents with special needs children seeking guardianship or child custody agreements. They spoke to me in a demeaning manor and did not update me on my case for over 6 weeks. She then wanted to collect money for a zoom meeting with no updates or new information being given, according to her own paralegal, Gema.

1 /5 Megan Williams: Update Regarding Guardianship Case of a Special Needs Individual After speaking with the other party in the case, I learned the following: He was told by Ms. Edmonson that documents could be notarized in the office without his presence, which I believe is illegal. He was also told Ms. Edmonson would contact me and follow up with him, which never happened for 6–7 weeks. Ms. Edmonson previously informed me that the other party would reach out to me directly, which he confirmed he never agreed to. A court-appointed official also informed me that, because my child has special needs, Ms. Edmonson should have disclosed that this service could have been free through the state. She failed to do so. Despite these issues, I am still receiving messages from Ms. Edmonson requesting payment. Everything I stated in my review is factual and can be corroborated by documented communication and witnesses. I will not be removing it

1 /5 Fahima Al-Uqdah: Do not hire this firm. I hired Ms. Edmonson to handle a timely and stressful property matter after my mom passed away. Ms. Edmonson charged me more than quoted for her retainer and never took a single action on my case. She stopped replying to my emails and her office stopped answering my calls. I had to open a case with my bank to do a charge back so I could afford to hire a new lawyer and was unfortunately only able to get a partial return. I take some responsibly because I may have been too trusting. Ive heard about greedy lawyers but couldnt fathom someone taking advantage of me given the nature of my case..I was trying to sort my late mothers estate. I was so deeply hurt by this offices behavior and this all only added to the grief my family and I were already experiencing. Though it looks like there are many more positive reviews than negative, keep in mind that there are many of us whove had the same experience with her. Its not worth the risk. I was able to find an amazing and professional lawyer who handled my case incredibly well. I urge you to find someone else to take care of you.

5 /5 Donna Halaas: We needed our legal documents reviewed and a new deed done. We are very pleased with Susan Edmonson. She told us our trust docs were well done and then she prepared a new deed for our home and had it recorded in a very timely manner.

1 /5 Paula Carroll: I would not recommend this law office. They didnt take care of my legal needs , withheld legal documents, then screwed me over by filing a nonsuit dismissal that I strongly refused against. Then over charged me for condemning my case. Theres a reason she has to have a safety locked door. They also double bill you, I was charged for her assistant to type up a document, then charged to pay her to review it and charged again for the assistant to correct her mistakes. These were just 2 paragraph with no real details, there went $400 for maybe an hours work.
