Dustan was my lawyer for my custody case. I was so worried about having to hire a lawyer and deal with all the headaches. Dustan made the experience as easy as it could be! I had so many questions and they were all answered. I was never left in the dark or had any suprises. My case was resolved exactly the way we discussed. I highly recommend him and will never use anyone else!
Dustan is very fair with his pricing. He handle with problems very fast and timely. Dustan new is law and gave me very good advise. I would very much use him again.
I am not able to express in words how GRATEFUL I am to and for Dustan Abshire and his team! From the first consultation he has gone above and beyond, the world needs more dedicated people like them. He is kind, caring and passionate about his work. His prices are very reasonable. For the effort and care he puts into your case he could easily charge much more and that in itself speaks volumes. I had hired another attorney who was very skilled but just wasn’t the right fit for my particular situation. Hiring Dustan renewed my hope and truly changed my life. If you’re looking for someone who is ethical, caring and dedicated then look no further. Call his Lawfirm TODAY!!!
My family and I have had to obtain lawyers for different things over the course of the past few years and Dustan with out a doubt has been the best! He goes in and gets the job done! Not to mention him and his staff are so kind and welcoming. I would suggest Dustan to anyone that is looking for legal counsel!
I met with Mr. Abshire over concerns I had about my current attorney. He answered all of my questions my attorney won’t or doesn’t have time to answer. I only wish I had gone to him first.
Mr. Dustan and his paralegal Mrs. Angie were absolutely amazing to work with. My case was a child-custody matter. I'll never forget the day i met the them. First i met Mrs. Angie, i immediately got close to her. It was like family at first sight. Then eventually that day i met Mr. Absire. He was coming in from a trial in Court with tears in his eyes. And yet sucked up his emotions and discuss my case with me. I had chills from his sadness. I read Mr. Dustan's and the other lawyer profile and if you did to, you can just imagine what he has seen and been through in the law business. He worked me on his fees. I quickly learned that he is not a heartless lawyer who is all about money and not justice. If children are involved in your case, he is gonna do whatever is best for the children and i admired that about him and Mrs. Angie. They tore my children's father a new one. Everything was in me and my children's favor. We never even had to go to court, everything was nipped in the bud during the hearing. Which i almost died holding in my laughter. Let me explain... his lawyer came out about 10+ times asking him questions about his personal information and and other stuff that he should have know about his client as to where my lawyer came out ZERO times asking me any questions. They kept me full of hope and my mind clear. If the law is on your side you will definitely win your case with this wonderful man and his amazing paralegal. Thank you so much for everything Mr. Dustan and Mrs. Angie
Dustan was truly sent to me from God! With him there to represent me I grew my spine back! His background, attention to detail and extensive knowledge of my case and the law gave me the confidence I needed not to back down! I am so thankful for him and his staff. I do and will continue to tell the world to call him if they need an attorney!
Dustan is an outstanding attorney. He is honest, a sharp strategist, and truly cares about his clients. He answered any questions I had in a quick timely manner. He was well prepared, fought and won the biggest obstacle in our court battle. Because of his hard work, I was able to achieve a result that kept my child more safe. I would recommend him to anyone I know needing representation.
Ever since I met dustan he has been more than helpful, he's understanding, and will help solve problems! Today I had a child custody case that's been going on since 2011 I've went through several attorneys throughout this matter I was recommended dustan and today it's finally closed I got everything I ever wanted and more! I'm so happy and I would recommend him to anyone!!! A huge Thank you Again!!!!
