I was referred to Mr. Magee by the Texas State Lawyer Referral Service. I was attempting to recover my son whom had been taken by his father and hidden from me. I met Mr. Magee and he seemed honest enough. I trusted him because he was referred to me by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization as well as the TLRS. We went over my case and he said he would take it on for the standard $2,000.00 retainer. I paid him and got my reciept. I had to continuously harrass him to get him to file the suit affecting parent child relationship. (By now I almost know enough to do it with a lawyer!) After finally getting him to file the paperwork, he never served my ex and he stopped retuning my calls. When the day of court arrived Mr Magee was nowhere to be found, and consiqientially neither was my ex or my son, since Mr Magee had never had him served with a notice to appear.
This was very embarrassing, I showed up to court and my lawyer was not there and neither was the defendant. Mr Magee has still never returned my calls. He refuses to refund me my retainer fee for services UNrendered. Don't use him, he will take your money and run. He should be disbarred.
