There are too many reasons to list why Ms. Hicks is such amazing attorney. She is very professional and honest and walks you through the process so you know what to expect. She has many years of experience and knows exactly what she is doing and can back it up. She is always well prepared and will answer all your questions. She is a great communicator with her clients and also in court. She is also kind and compassionate with a big heart and a wonderful person overall and is great at what she does. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her help and guidance into all this legal stuff. My first attorney didn't really explain things well to me and didn't get things accomplished like they said they would but Ms. Hicks has walked me through and explain everything she does so that I am aware of the process and outcomes. I have already recommended her to friends and I wouldn't recommend anyone else besides Ms. Hicks. She does her job so incredibly well.
I’ve had three pat attorneys. All who told me they had 20 years experience, never lost...you know....When I came to the firm my attorney had more than dug me a hole. Alison was the most prepared, knowledgeable and aggressive attorney I have ever seen. All the judges knew her and obviously liked and respected her in court. I couldn’t recommend her more!
I've used Alison for a divorce and child support modifications and I've always felt that she offered realistic expectations of what to expect and what could go right or wrong during the process. She certainly knows what she's doing. She also has a big heart for those going through this difficult process and for the kids affected by the whole thing.
Awesome lawyer
Just wanted to write a quick review on my business dealings with this in particular attorney a few particular things I'd like to touch on first off her ratings don't do her any justice A much better hard-working attorney in person very personable and very knowledgeable on just about every topic wide-range lawyer pretty much no question she can't answer made me feel very comfortable especially in this type of situation. The hearing swong in my favor only after I hired Alison Hicks wasted a lot of time and money with almost four or five other attorneys and finally landed on a great one she is top 10 in Texas need I say more she is a winner and will get Swift Justice for a very touchy situation.
Peace of Mind
Alison Hicks was the answer to our prayers. From the moment we met she conveyed Confidence, Respect, and Honesty. Ms. Hicks and her staff made themselves readily available and kept my wife and I updated throughout the legal process. I was worried the system would make it hard for a good father to gain child custody, but Ms. Hicks represented us and fought for us with professionalism, passion and fierce confidence. Our trust in Ms. Hicks never wavered. Thanks to her, we now have custody of my daughter, the light of my life.
Professional & Fierce
Alison helped me with my very difficult divorce. I was referred to her through another attorney. My case was difficult and because I have 3 children it was extremely important to find a lawyer that would not only listen to the needs but also help guide me along this arduous process. Alison was no nonsense but compassionate at the same time. I am certainly grateful that I decided to listen and go with her!!
My son hired Ms. Hicks for a divorce/child custody case. In Texas, it's hard for a dad to get primary custody of a child, but Ms. Hicks worked tirelessly on this case and wouldn't back down until we got the result we wanted. My son was awarded primary custody of his child due to her relentlessness and dedication. She is a fierce attorney!!! As a mom, she understands the relationship between a parent and child, and will fight to do what is in the child's best interest. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and how Ms. Hicks handled this case. I highly recommend her!
Professional and kind hearted
Mrs Hicks is an attorney that you can trust.When I was ready to throw in the towel she gave me the pep talk I needed to continue the good fight for my kids.If I win the case or not,I know I did everything I could for the best interest for my kids.She won't let you down.I feel lucky I found her to represent my interests.
The ONLY attorney I recommend!!!
Starting a new year with peace and I have Alison Hick's to thank for that!!! Her dedication to our family law case was beyond measure and effortless! When I was so close to giving up all hope she came into the case and saved us. She is extremely knowledgeable and will explain all aspects of your case openly and honestly. It was impressive that in spite of her busy practice I never felt as if I...
Great Attorney!
I hired Alison years ago and it was a great decision. First she took care of my divorce, and then a few years later she handled a modification and enforcement of my decree. I can't stress enough how much she has helped me. I would hire her again in a heart beat.
I hired Alison 3 yrs ago for a divorce, she got me what I deserved then but I ended trying to work it out with my husband and called off the divorce.....BAD CALL, didn't work out! Now that I'm having to do it all over again, I knew EXACTLY who to call.....ALISON HICKS! Her new staff is awesome, compassionate and very helpful. I'm a tough cookie and I needed a lawyer just as tough! Doing business with her has been pleasant!
Alison was my first and last call for a Divorce attorney when it became glaringly obvious that one would be necessary. Responsive, caring, professional, and detail oriented until the end; Alison was able to guide me through the minefield of divorce with little worry. Her staff is also extremely dedicated and personable. I don't know if you can say that someone made your divorce a pleasant experience, but this was as close as it gets.
Alison picked up my case after It was damaged by other horrible lawyers. She helped fix my situation and she stuck to her word to get me the most I could out of my divorce. The cost was reasonable and communication was continuous on updates. I recommend her and her strong will to fight for you.
Alison is an awesome attorney! She did everything she promised she would do from the beginning until the end when it came to my Divorce case. She put herself in my shoes and fought for what was best for me and my disabled son. She kept me updated on my case and returned my phone calls. She answered all my question and had so much compassion. I was impressed on how she...
1st rate lawyer!
Alison Hicks and her staff are very compassionate. There is no better attorney in the San Antonio area that is more skilled and dedicated, and works as hard as Alison Hicks will work for her clients.
Dedicated!!
Ms. Hicks is a dedicated and skilled lawyer. Ms. Hicks surpassed my expectations on what I would get in my divorce. She is an amazing attorney. I can't express how much I appreciate her hard work. She is very knowledgeable with the changing laws in family court. I hope I never need a family law attorney again, but if I do I will hire her back for sure!
Excellent Attorney.
Alison is not only a smart, go getter, no nonsense attorney, but very sensitive to the emotional part of the divorce. She held my hand and explained everything as we went! I would highly recommend her.
Great results.
Alison did a great job on my divorce. I meet with several other attorneys and am so happy I went with her. I couldn't be any happier with the end results of her hard work!
Highly Recommended
Alison was amazing. She was responsive, upfront, and honest...qualities not typically found in other lawyers I have worked with. I knew my case was being handled and I didn't have to worry, her and/or her staff kept me informed every step of the way. I am very satisfied not only with the service that was provided but with the outcome.
I hired Alison on a child custody case, and Alison and her staff were very helpful.
Alison was very compassionate, kind and considerate.
My case was done quick & efficient. I have & will continue to Refer have as a lawyer to anyone.
Thank You Alison for all your legal help with.
Alison helped me with a sticky child custody case. She always fought for me and my daughter and helped me to be strong and not just settle for less than I was entitled to. She was caring and I felt like I had someone in my corner every step of the way!
I would absolutely recommend anyone to Alison Hicks. . I felt that she personally cared about my situation and would not give up until I was happy. She is a professional and knowledgeable family lawyer who is personable and amazing to work with. She ensured that my case was her top priority and made me feel like family to her. I would use no one else in San Antonio (or even Texas) for family law.
I hired Alison to handle my divorce several months ago. She and her staff were the most professional, compassionate group of people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Alison was very attentive to my needs as a client and shark in the court room. She was extremely knowledgeable about family law and fought to get me the best outcome possible. She will tell you everything you are entitled to and explain all your options. I am so thankful I was referred to her law firm and I will be referring everyone I can to her office. I left a happy, divorced client who is proud to say Alison Hicks was my attorney.
Ms. Hicks really helped guide me during the most stressful time in my life. I was not sure what to expect other than the worst because I had never had to experience a divorce. She however, made the process a lot easier for me than could have ever anticipated. While waiting at the court house I always felt like I was in good hands and was very impressed by how assertive and aggressive she was. Great lawyer and I strongly recommend her.
Excellent Lawyer
I would highly recommend Alison Hicks to anyone looking for a child custody lawyer. She has been our lawyer for two years now over a long and at times very stressful custody battle. But she is truly an angel sent to our family. Not only does she know her stuff. She will fight for you tooth and nail. She has a heart of Gold. I can't say enough about this lawyer. She is our rock and our comfort in times of uncertainty. We thank God for her each and every day.
Great Impression
I did not have the good fortune of having Ms. Hicks represenation but after watching her in the courtroom and the respect she has from her colleagues and judges I had wished I had chosen her for my attorney. I have since referred anyone I know who needs excellent, reputable, honest and aggressive representation to Ms. Hicks.
Excellent Attorney
I am so glad that I was referred to Alison Hicks. I would highly recommend her. I felt that she personally cared about my situation and my children. She has focus, passion, and is extremely knowledgeable about family law. She helped me to get my divorce decree modified, which others had told me would be very difficult, and yet she succeeded. She did not give up and worked very hard to protect my rights and those of my children. It ended with success and we are very thankful for her. She was a godsend.
Justice has been served!
She put my ex in his place. I am so happy I found Alison to represent me for my divorce as she was very professional and kept me well informed throughout the whole ordeal. Patience, strategy and competitiveness resulted happy client, me!
She'll give it to you straight
Alison is good at what she does, good at negotiating for you and letting you know what you are entitled to. She will have you do your homework and be prepared. She has a good rapport with those she works with and is honest with her clients.
Life is Good!
Alison was recommended by a friend and I never regretted my choice in her as my attorney. Alison was committed to getting my extremely bitter divorce finalized as quickly as possible and attempted to avoid the unnecessary delays by opposing counsel. Alison's true worth was evident when she was in the court room. Alison is truely in her element in the court room!
Alison has always advised me of all things for me consider before making a decision on something, she has always followed through with my decisions even if she did not always agree with them. I would recommend her as a lawyer to use. I she has been my lawyer for almost two years
A personable, professional attorney
Alison Hicks was recommended to me by my neighbor, who was also one of her law school instructors. Not knowing what to expect when I made an appointment with her to discuss my issues, I feel our initial consultation went well. She answered specific questions I had as well as questions regarding possible future legal services. She spent a good deal of time with me and gave me realistic estimate of costs of services. I found her to be honest and had a nice manner of being personal and professional at the same time. And her fees were extremely reasonable!
Throughout the process Alison made herself available to assist me through email or by phone with any questions I had.
I would not hesitate to contact Alison again for future services, if the situation arises. I highly recommend the Law offices of Hicks & Schendel.
Alison was highly professional in handling my divorce. She was forth coming with all information pertaining to the divorce. Highly informed of all legal terms needed concerning the military requirements of my divorce. Forceful when needed, as well as diplomatic, Simply the best.
Wonderful Lawyer
Alison and her team have done wonders..... She has broken any stereotypes in my book. Alison has always been professional and friendly in handling my case. I couldn't have asked for a better Lawyer.
Alison is a fantastic attorney. She goes the extra mile to help you. I would definitely recommend her.
I was recommended Alison from friends of my family, after my ex boyfriend repeatedly dragged me through the mud in a custody battle when I wouldn't be with him anymore. He took me back to court for kicks and giggles because I couldn't afford it and he could, and he loved to make my life miserable. I went through two attorneys prior to finding this heaven-sent woman, and I have never regretted it. The moment she walked into the court room my ex and his ridiculous shark attorney thought of her youth and beauty as a flaw, and man, I've got to tell you, she wiped the smirks right off of their faces. I spent 12 grand before I found an attorney who meant what she said, and did it with swift motions. I read the prior statements. It's true, she wants to know what went on, wants a journal, but if you want to win a case you come prepared. I already had to record everything, I had substantial evidence to back every concern I had. She kept me up to date, was very responsive, and still is to this day. Reading the statements I have read, I think they must be thinking of some other attorney, because there's just no way you and I are talking about the same person. She is not a cold, worthless attorney, she is the best and brightest. If I didn't have her on my side, I'd be worried.
Trusted Family Member
Alison is not related to me but she is so awesome and trustworthy that I would trust her with my life. She is extremely intelligent and has a way of making you feel comfortable. I believe in her advice and yet she will put you at ease with any decision you decide to make and she will do her absolute best to get what you want. She is great from the start. A diligent individual with sincere interest in what she is accomplishing for you the client as well as enjoying her passion of helping others. She is upfront and honest but will give you all the information you need to get your homework done. Work with her and you will not be disappointed. Hands down.
An Outstanding and Professional Attorney
I have had the honor to work with Alison on both a professional and personal level. She goes above and beyond her call of duty in advocating for her clients. I have referred her to several of my closest friends and all of them have been impressed with the results she achieves for them. Hands down one of the best attorneys in this field, and is knowledgeable about this area of the law.
Alison is one of the brightest young ladies in my age group. She is very good at what she does. I would highly recommend her legal advice and services.
For those of you who disagree/posted any negative comments about her, I highly suggest you get a life and grow up. You know damn well your opinion is looked down upon and incorrect.
Also, who the hell has the time to find a website like this one and post negative comments and opinions about another person?!?!?! The only reason I have any knowledge of this site is because I was anonymously informed of the negative posts and wanted to see it for myself...
Simply the best
My Schendel and his partner exceed all expectations. These two will one day be the best San Antonio has to offer. Once they get into a court of law you have no fear they will tear the living daylights out of all and sundry. They bounce off each other with such amazing efficiency and losing is not in their vocabulary. Good luck to them both. They deserve it!
an awesome attorney
Alison is an outstanding attorney. I do agree with the posting before me, she does make her clients do some "homework". At first I thought to myself, "why do i need to do homework if shes gonna do this for me".. Well its so she has a better understanding about the case shes dealing with...she is handling 2 of my cases...in my divorce, which she is still currently representing me in, i ended up learning alot about my marriage...i wrote a 20 page "story" on my marriage and low and behold she read the entire thing....it helped her prepare for my case and it gives her "ammo" to work with...if you lie to her she will drop you as a client...she is very strict and very stern and will tell you like it is....she is ready to fight as long and as hard as you want her to...i have recommended her to many others going through divorce....she will remain my attorney for as long as she will keep me as a client....i am very happy and proud to have Alison as my attorney....
GREAT LAWYER
I saw the negative posting about Ms. Hicks and I had to reply. I met with several attorneys before hiring her. She does require her clients to do some "homework" such as writing a journal, providing documentation, etc. She really believes and fights for her clients. Fathers rarely win custody, and although she was up against an attorney with more practice under his belt, she wiped the floor with him. I got custody of my 5 year old and the charges were MORE than reasonable. I would HIGHLY recommend her in the future! She will be my family's lawyer as long as she will have us! Beware of postings that are anonymous, it is probably my wife's attorney!
