I had my initial consolation with Mr. Pelley about filling for divorce. I informed him I'm a OIF/OEF disabled veteran who needs an attorney who would help financially with the divorce. He did inform me he's a huge supporter of our military and he was going to do everything he can to help my situation. That was a huge lie. Soon after leaving the office I tried to communicate with Mr. Pelley and his staff to find any new updates and they sounded annoyed talking to me. Few days later I received a letter in the mail from Mr. Pelley refusing to help me in any way. What a disrespectful and anti American law firm they are. I'm 100 percent disabled veteran who is wheel chair bound and this is the thanks I received by this crooked law firm. Disabled veterans deserve better than how companies like treat us. Thanks for nothing. Your a disgrace to America.

I'm widowed recently so money is tight. Mr pelly wad supposed to help me with bankruptcy, after what felt like interrogation I got nothing accomplished except losing my house and everything else because my pellys office took 1200 up front for my bankruptcy , seen me twice , it felt like I was a hardened criminal being interrogated. He did not do his job working for me. I would highly NOT recommend. They will turn it around and you will lose , he wins easy money

Pelley Law Firm is who I have gone through to handle my Bankruptcy case. I am currently in the process of purchasing a new home and Liz Briggs has been great. She is responsive and never questions what I am asking her to provide for the Loan Officer. If you are having to go through a Bankruptcy, I couldn't recommend them more.

Listen please. I am well acquainted with attorneys and the courts unfortunately. The Pelley that helped me was upfront, sincere, down to earth, and accomplished exactly what he said he would. That was not the case with any attorney i formerly hired. Mr Pelley you changed my perspective on attorneys. Thank you for being up front, honest, and being kind to my family.

We thought that life as we knew it had ended. We had no option other than seek an attorney and we were very fortunate to have found Pelley Law Office. It was definitely the place where we got the help we needed to get through a difficult time in our lives. Thank you!

He did everything he said an more excellent attorney well worth the money for any father trying to get custody of his kids

Kind, compassionate, and very competent staff!

They did an outstanding job with our case. Superb legal service. Sarah Thorn is awesome. She's available and always ready to help. Highly recommend Pelley Law Office!!!!!

Very helpful staff. Richard Pelley helped me through a ruff time in my life and made it easy to get through it. I appreciate all that they did for me. Would recommend this law firm to all my family and friends. Thanks

They did an outstanding job with my case. I truly appreciate everything they did for me. Thanks!

I was challenged to work through 2 separate legal issues that included a child modification and divorce at the same time. I worked hand in hand with Attorney Chip Pelley and Mary Jones. They both were instrumental in getting me through both of these challenges. They were both very knowledgeable about the laws, kept me up to date on the process, they fought for me, and are both very compassionate people. Chip Pelley gave me excellent advice and was very professional ! I came into their office as a client and left as a friend.. I would highly recommend their services. They are truly the BEST !!

I would HIGHLY recommend Pelley Law office for any need you may have. Choosing someone who you can trust is always a nerve wracking experience, and Russell "Chip" and his legal assistant Mary Jones made this whole ordeal smooth and explained everything so we could understand what was going on. I had spoken with many other lawyers, and while most were nice, some were fear mongers trying to get into my wallet. Chip made time in his busy schedule to see me personally, when others were pushing me off for weeks, NEVER made me feel rushed or like I was taking up too much of his time, and both Mary and Chip kept me up to date without me having to call and ask. His consultation fee is more than reasonable, and the value is well worth it. Both Chip and Mary also has the necessary experience to make sure you will have the best representation and knowledge on any issue you may have. I can't say enough good about Chip and his team, please consider giving him a call if you ever have the need, you'll be glad you did. AND, his fees are SUPER reasonable. We sincerely thank Chip for his service! Candace Drew

Last summer I was represented by the Pelley Law Firm in a fairly heated divorce case. I would recommend this firm to anyone that needs good quality and professional legal representation. There is a difference between an experienced law firm and an experienced law firm that is also well-seasoned.

Chip Pelley is not only experienced but well-seasoned too and it was the little things he did in a hearing or during arbitration that made huge differences in how things turned out in the end. His paralegal Mary Jones kept me fully informed and up to date on how the case was progressing and was always just a phone call or an email away. Between both Chip and Mary, I was always extremely confident throughout the whole process and never felt intimidated by the other side not one time.

The billing of services was more than fair and Chip and Mary work diligently to minimize the cost of the lawsuit. I was very happy with the outcome of my divorce and hold no regrets about any of the decisions that were made throughout the process. This is an excellent law firm and I will certainly use this firm again in the future for any legal needs that may arise.

called the office and the receptionist was the rudest person I have talked to in years. She was enough reason to just hang up and go elsewhere.

Chip Pelley met me in person one day, while I was an absolute ball of nerves. Embarrassingly, I even started to cry in front of him. While Chip was reading through my divorce papers, he made me feel much more calm, and I felt confident in hiring him. Chip embodies the “still waters run deep” adage.

We were later introduced to Chip’s paralegal, Mary. Throughout the year-long process, Mary never took more than 24 hours to answer emails, and often times, she would answer my phone calls right away. Mary is thoughtful, professional, and very courteous with the clients. I never felt rushed in anyway whenever I would talk to her.

On the day of the mediation, I did not sleep the night before. Once again, seeing my attorney Chip, made me calm again. At one point during the mediation, Chip was calmly reading through the paperwork, and he unveiled a small, but very significant detail that nobody seemed to catch, which changed the landscape of the entire litigation resulting in my favor. The outcome was that I actually ended up with MORE than what I was expecting. On a side note: use Chip’s mediatior! He’s not the most friendly man, but he is direct, and will streamline the process; he was highly effective.

On billing: in aggregate, the standard operating procedure for billing is to charge a client the going rate per hour, notwithstanding the minutes used. For example, if you talk to your lawyer for 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 45 minutes, they round up to the hour. I find this practice ludicrous and downright unethical; I suppose it’s the primary reason that attorneys are the butt of so many jokes. But Chip bills in increments of 1/6 of the hour. Most of my interactions were with Mary, and her rate is ¼ Chip’s, and she too, bills in increments of 1/6 of the hour. I found this to be a refreshing difference, which other attorneys should follow suit.

Know this: if you do not settle your case in mediation, and you go to court, be wise in your choosing. If you choose a rude, obstreperous person to represent you, the judge will not take kindly to that, and it will only make your chances of winning harder. Chip is professional, calm, and kind, and effective. My opponent did not do his homework, and chose someone over the phone, while living out of state, who acts the fool. To boot, my opponent paid 2X what I did, only to lose. Just because you are paying more money, does not mean your results will be in accordance to what you have paid.

Do your homework. Interview. And when you do, you will happily choose Chip Pelley.

I would definitely recommend Pelley law office to anyone. They were very professional and helped me with all my business matters. I greatly appreciate all that they done for me and my family.

I highly recommend the Pelley Law Office. Regardless of how complicated or dire you may feel your current issues are, the Pellys more than four decades of seasoned wisdom provides the knowledge base needed to appropriately address their clients current needs and chart a coherent , sound path to resolution. Clients are treated with dignity, grace and understanding. Likewise, the office staff does a fantastic job, is always polite and are always understanding and prompt to respond to questions and offer assistance. Our family had a 5 Star experience. I highly recommend.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Chip and Mary. Found the need for an Attorney, Praying for what to do, Prayers led me to this Firm. The caring of this team is amazing. I hope i don't have to use them again professionally but they will forever be in my heart and prayers. I highly recommend them.

We were in desperate need when a friend suggested Pelley Law offices to us. We were so happy with the help we received. After being depressed from having to file in the first place, they made us very comfortable and handled our case with compassion and professionalism. We will return to them in the future for help if the need arises.

You can feel safe and secure with Richard Pelley & Company, they made it so easy for us to weather this horrible stepping stone in our lives. And now we go forward with hope partially supplied by these wonderful guys!

Every one was friendly and had great concerns about my case. They helped and guided me through what had been intended to be simple and then became a difficult situation. They were able to get my case completed and in my favor very quickly. I would use Mr Pelley and his associate Mary again. Thanks for your support in my case.

Thank you Mary and Mr. (Chip) Pelley for all of your help, and for making me feel at-ease during all of the proceedings. Things went smoothly and I can move on with my life now.

Chip and Quentin are awesome attorneys. Very happy with my experience.

Very friendly and helpful. I felt like they were looking out for myself and my children's best interest. Thank you for everything.

Mr. Pelley filed a bankruptcy for me. He is very knowledgeable and truly cares about his clients. He always had my best interests in mind throughout the process. His paralegals were friendly and helpful when I had questions. Pelley Law made what is a hard process seem not as daunting by being friendly and helpful throughout.

Total wast of time and money. I would NOT recommend using this firm. Do not make the same mistake we did. Looking into filing a formal complaint with the Texas Bar and BBB amongst others. Zero communication from either "Chip" or Mary regarding the status on our case. Whenever we would call to get updates, we always got the same response, "Mr. Pelley is in court, ill call you back" and they never did. Finally, my husband wrote a long drawn out letter explaining WE are the customer and would like a little more consideration. Mind you, we hired them in February, with the expectation of at least an email once and a while. Well, the firm sent us a letter stating they would no longer represent us, (because of the letter we sent them) and that they would not be harassed. Funny how they NEVER replied to any emails or phone calls, except for this one, to state they did not appreciate being harassed. Really!? Asking for updates on a case that they did ZERO work on, and that we paid $3500 for. Harassment. More like we were robbed of time, money and possibly a fair settlement in court due to their lack of communication and their blatant disregard for their customers. I guess you get what you pay for as they say. If we could give zero stars, we would. DO NOT hire this firm. They will drop the ball at every turn.
