Reviews

My name is Berenice Jimenez I recently had the opportunity to be a client of Renken Law Firm, and I must say, my experience was positive. I'd like to provide an honest four-star review, as I believe it accurately reflects my experience with the firm. First and foremost, the lawyers at Renken Law Firm were efficient and effective in handling my legal matters. They demonstrated a clear understanding of the legal issues at hand and were able to navigate through them with competence. This efficiency is something I truly appreciate, as it saved me both time and money during a challenging period. However, I do have to say since I was new to any legal confrontatione regarding the personal nature of my legal issues. It would have been nice for some more discussions for people who are ignorant of legal matters. Although I am at peace and relieved at how things turned out and how the process was considering how terrifying these things can be. Overall, Renken Law Firm is a reputable and capable firm that gets the job done efficiently.

Straight forward..black and white...100% honesty and transparency. Exactly where you want to be when fighting for your family!! And that's exactly what you get when you're represented by Dawn and her lawfirm. What she has done for my son was unfathomable at the beginning..and here he is 3 years later and my son has exactly what he deserves. STELLAR lawfirm!!

I used the law firm's services and found them to be great at what they do. They have an effective system in place, allowing anyone in the firm to help answer your questions and see your communications. They work well as a team to support your needs. Ms. Renken gives you the facts and makes suggestions based on her experience and your personal situation. She advocates for her clients and works hard to get you everything you need throughout the entire process. The firm communicates well via email, phone calls and in person. They offer zoom options and are flexible to best meet your needs as a client. I encourage anyone needing a full service firm to reach out for a consultation.

Great attorney and supportive, professional staff

This firm probably is the most straight forward of them all and thats what you need when it comes to your children to make the best decisions for the little ones. I stand by this firm and will continue to come back when and if I need them.

Dawn and her team were very helpful and knowledgable. They understood my circumstances and knew how to handle my divorce. She made me feel less anxious during such a difficult situation. I would highly recommend.

Someone recommended me this firm and I am so glad that I hired them. Dawn and her team have taken care of my divorce for more than a year now. They are very diligent and very efficient. Dawn is very honest and fearless. She has defended my rights like no else else could have. Now my case is finally closed and justice has been done. I got what I expected: A excellent and fair outcome. Thank you so much for representing me.

I can’t say enough about Dawn and her team. Not only did she handle my divorce in 2018, but she recently helped me amend my geographical restriction on my decree. Here’s what I’ve learned through the process of navigating family law - it’s ugly and it’s stressful. Make sure to choose an attorney that is upfront with you about what’s to come. Choose someone strong and not afraid to push forward when things look rocky. And, most importantly, hire someone to do all those things without fear because when it comes to your children’s future every parent is fearful. Dawn exhibited all these qualities and then some. Her and her staff became friends! But more than friends, they fought on my behalf when I was uncertain of my future. They didn’t give up and because of that - we won our case! If you do your part in preparing her, she’ll do her best to fight for what’s right!

Very Knowledgeable staff! I highly recommend THE RENKEN LAW FIRM to anyone who is in need of professional legal help! Ask for Natalie!

Dawn was recommended to me by a friend. I hired her to help me with my divorce. We were able to reach an agreement during mediation. She did an excellent job. I highly recommend her!

I Recommend it very much. My divorce was fast and easy. They are friendly and very helpful. Thank you all so much.

So many good things to say; I'll do my best to be brief. Natalie is BY FAR the most intelligent, eager, genuine family law attorney I have ever come by. She worked hard for my family, and we couldn't be more grateful. She was kind but stern, fair and logical, and her passion and work ethic are very impressive. She gave us honest truths when necessary, and kept our family's financials in mind. Her staff was wonderful as well. I would recommend Renken Law Firm to any loved one or stranger in need. Absolutely.

Called ahead and told the receptionist (very friendly) that i needed a draft prenup looked at, and needed my things added to it so it can be finalized. Fast forward to appointment day, lawyer walks in late, i don't mind as i respect a busy schedule, but didn't appreciate the language being thrown about the office, or with it being used so candidly with me. I'm trying to determine the future of my life, and i could spare from hearing a few f bombs while I'm at it. Especially when I'm paying you $100 just for a first meeting. Next up, lawyer complains about the formatting of the existing draft in front of her for fourteen minutes, berating the formatting, and complaining that she normally doesn't review drafts, even though i told them that's what i was there to do. I was told explicitly multiple times that the lawyer normally charged $400 for their services, which i suppose they felt bad because they only charged me $100, when i asked what i should do, they kept bringing up the $400 thing, offered to rewrite the contract - i didn't need it. I needed sound, actual advice from a real person who wanted to listen to what i was saying the first time, not after i explicitly made an appointment for the thing and then explained 4 more times. I couldn't recommend this place any less, left in tears because it's extremely frustrating that i made an appointment for something they just don't do, good riddance. I'm updating the review because of the response from the owner - i asked for the best close of advice and was given no real options, cost basis, and had zero positive things to say about my experiences in her establishment in regards to her mannerisms and ability to provide actual real world advice for me, and instead of justifying your actions by giving an "I'm a no-nonsense lawyer" approach, maybe you should listen to what your potential client needs and offer them a solution other than "i cost $400 an hour" after you pick apart the document in question, while i feel as if what i needed was befalling deaf ears beclouded by the F-words no doubt bouncing around your skull in the process of our meeting. It was not professional. You are the reason people hate lawyers. Again, good riddance.

Dawn Renken shows up and shows out for her clients. During mediation and in the court room she had a ZERO Tolerance for shenanigans the other party had. She’s straight to the point and about her business. Dawn came highly recommended and if you’re looking for a BEAST SHE’S IT! I’d recommend her any day.

I highly recommend the Renken Law Firm! Dawn has represented my daughter twice in custody disputes, both times with positive results. She is a highly professional go-getter who fights for the best outcome for her clients and their children. From the initial consult to the final paperwork Dawn and her hard working staff were with us all the way!

Dawn was extremely professional and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. She communicated throughout the entire process and made it so I had no surprises. I highly recommend, but hope I do not need to use again.

Just recently got a divorce. Thanks to the Renken Law firm things went way smoother then expected. Don or her staff is always available to answer any questions I may have. Would definitely recommend her services.

I worked with Natalie Markham to get my adult adoption taken care of. She was delightful. Always willing to help answer questions and was so patient. I highly recommend her and the firm to anyone needing one.

I have had the Renken law firm representing me for about 10 years. As a Dad of 3 girls and a ex wife motivated to modify my MSA custody agreement, I needed a attorney who was knowledgeable, experienced and aggressive in court. Dawn met my needs and suggested mediation about 2 months ago after the latest attempt from my ex to modify. Dawn was able to meet my needs and get the desired result I was seeking. Although the process was pricey, having 50/50 custody was my ultimate goal. Now that things are finalized, the kids and I are getting back to normal snd enjoying the extra time based on Dawn’s assistance. The staff was also very responsive and helpful from the jump as well.

Lack of morals and ethics. Winning isn’t really winning at the cost of child safety and quality of parenting.

During my divorce turn custody battle, the Renken Team was organized and available when needed. Although at times I felt alone, when it came time for mediation and hearings Dawn was on top of it all and ensured I was well prepared. Dawn is straightforward, extremely experienced, and knows her stuff, so what I was wrecking my brain about didn't seem to be major concerns to her since she knew what to expect. Well as a newbie to litigation, I was looking for someone to take me by the hand, tell me it will be okay, tell me what to do, listen to me cry and all that mushy stuff as my case began taking a turn from ugly to destroy and destruct. Required communication was maintained and now I understand the need to avoid all the mushy and extra with your lawyer; your lawyer is not your therapist or friend to vent. Avoid the extra because minutes add up. So, in totality, knowledgeable/experienced/tough/straightforward is what you will get. Good luck!

Although my divorce was very ugly, my attorney Dawn was a great help to my case, along with the staff who were very respectful and helpful when I had any questions occur. I highly recommend this law firm to those who are about to deal with tough and ugly cases, Dawn did her absolute most to ensure that I received what I had deserved and help me win the case.

DIVORCE is the most dramatic experience one can have in later life. I hired Dawn in December 2020 and was impressed with the consultation. After paying $4,000 up-front from that period to date (3/30/21), my standing in the case is a MYSTERY still to be discovered. I've had to question billing, and the status of my case. The only question answered is the billing. This attorney will BAIT, SWITCH, and milk your pocket book without any communication. If you're looking for an honest attorney that keeps you informed and will advocate on your behalf; bypass this one for sure. The work is sloppy and not well prepared as is the communication. You will find deadlines being met at last minute, and the most contact you'll have is email correspondence with rigged prices and phone calls. You pay to ask questions and you will not get step by step up dates and status reports as to how your case is going or what to expect. This attorney is RUDE, and NOT worth the RIP-OFF. If you don't want to waste $4,952 dollars before getting real help, keep it stepping!!!. They are sweeter than honey when the bait is on, but nasty and rude as hell. IT'S A JOKE, AND IT'S ON YOU !!! DON'T SAY YOU WEREN'T WARNED... FINALLY, When people rip you off in the name of GAIN, they fail to realize; pay back ten-fold is real and biblical. Recompense will come when you least expect. You can't do ugly and expect beauty!!! Sick em FATHER........ Today is Sept. 28,2023 As of this date Dawn's law firm is still sending a bill for payment for work she didn't do after several months of no communication, stall tactics and never a court date. Let me make it plain again; poor work and poor quality. This firm must be desperate for cash and clients after getting $4,952 dollars of my money and NEVER a court date. I told my father to take wrath on this place and it looks like he's hitting their god (money) up side the head. Every time you send a bill which I don't owe I will pray to my Heavenly Father for your continued demise. Your arms to too short to box with my creator. The devil is a liar, you know them by their fruits manifested. You will be held accountable on the GREAT DAY which is going to be s terrible day for you. I suggest you REPENT while you still have little time. Deborah H.

I was tired, defeated & nowhere to turn to during my divorce process but having Atty. Renken to represent me was the greatest decision i made on this very difficult situation. She & her staffs were always there to provide support & help me make rationale decisions. Atty. Renken fought for what’s due & right for me & my 2 kids. I highly recommend Atty. Renken!!!

Natalie Markham, Dawn Renken and all their staff are very professional, knowledgeable, efficient, responsive, honest and caring. I highly recommend The Renken Law Firm.

If you need a Houston Divorce Attorney, I highly recommend The Renken Law Firm. Dawn and her staff are very knowledgeable and committed to getting the best results for you.

I retained Natalie Markham of the Renken Law Firm for my divorce. At my initial consultation with her, she answered all of my questions, gave me advice on my case, she was so easy to talk to and never made me feel rushed. I retained her after my consultation, I knew she was the attorney I wanted handling my case; my divorce was filed the very next day. She communicated timely throughout the entire process, I never had to ask for the status on my case. My divorce was final right after the 60 day waiting period. She also helped ease my nerves the day of my court date, I highly recommend her to anyone.

Dawn is very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the court system and is able to provide a practical approach to your individual case. She acts swiftly and effectively on your behalf. As with any excellent attorney she is very busy but her and her staff are sure to keep up with communicating with you. The staff is very caring and willing to work with you to achieve your goals. I would highly recommend Dawn Renken for a strong and effective attorney.

Thru one of the toughest times of my life Dawn showed care and compassion. I did not have a clue how all the divorce stuff works and she guided me thru the storm. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is fighting this battle and needs someone to fight with them and for them. SHE IS A ROCKSTAR!!!!!

I highly recommend Dawn Renken. She is a prepared, efficient, to the point, no nonsense lawyer. I am extremely please with the swiftness and outcome of my divorce. I had a amicable divorce, but even so once we got to court the judge called out specific issues he typically has in court and she had everything he needed on hand. Needless to say he was very please and honestly, seemed shocked. If you want the smoothest transition possible through such a difficult time hire Renken Law Firm!

I highly recommend Dawn Renken, while going through a difficult divorce her team was very attentive and Dawn's response time is very swift . I was very pleased with the end result resolution.
