Working with Colby and his team was a very positive experience! Colby is knowledgeable and level-headed and approached my situation thoughtfully and professionally. He consistently took the time to explain things clearly and make sure each step of the legal process was well understood. I appreciated his steady guidance and the practical approach he brought to decisions along the way. His team was also very responsive and organized, and his paralegal was always helpful when questions came up. I’m grateful for the professionalism and support Colby and his team provided throughout the process!

DO NOT USE THIS FIRM!!!!!! I paid them over 10k for temporary orders and paid off my final billing statement. They then contact me 3 months later to pursue the final before legally able to after I explicitly told them to stop contacting and billing me and then sent me another bill with made up charges. They are scammers and will rob you of every dime possible the second you hire them. I have documentation of every correspondence showing how unbelievably wrong they are yet they still try to collect money from me. I withheld firing them and writing this review out of fear they'd cancel my case. But people need to know not to use this firm or trust anything they say.

They did an amazing Job with my case. Would recommend and would go back if I ever need help again. Thank you Kirsten and Kristina for your hard work and time.

I had an extremely tough case and I was recommended to work with this firm. My attorney team of Kirsten Bode and Kristina Chiarelli first met with me and had a clear recommendation plan based on research and facts. They were very clear with my options and a path forward based on their experience with this type of case. They were patient and worked tirelessly and closely with me and the other side to find a solution that satisfied all parties. I would definitely recommend working with them … especially with extremely challenging situations. Thanks again Kirsten and Kristina.

Colby Berry was amazing in helping us craft our family trust. He walked us through the process every step of the way. Colby was always avalible to answer our questions even after he completed our trust. He explained things in terms that were easily understood and he looked out for our best interest. We appreciate his efforts and trust his advice. Thank you

A good law firm. Dealing with family law group. Kirsten Bode has been good to deal with.

Colby Berry did an outstanding job helping us with our will, trust, and probate matters. He was knowledgeable, professional, and explained everything clearly, which gave us great peace of mind. His responsiveness and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We felt confident knowing our affairs were handled correctly and would highly recommend him to anyone needing estate planning or probate services. — Laurie & Bob W

If you need a professional to handle your estate planning and probate process, Colby Berry is your guy. Not only is he knowledgeable and organized, he's gregarious! My husband Roy Busby and I enjoyed our business relationship with Colby and recommend him to anyone wanting to write a will, create a trust or need help in executorship. Colby is also assisted by paralegal Diana Dillinger whose talents are on display at all times. Hayes, Berry, White & Vanzant offers a variety of legal services and we have been very pleased working with all the attorneys and staff.

I would highly recommend using this law firm for any representation you may need. Ms. Bode and the entire staff are very knowledgable, professional, dependable, and capable. Definitely let them represent you! - Scott R.

I highly recommend attorney, Kirsten Bode, and her secretary, Kristina, for anyone going through the divorce process. From the very beginning, they were extremely helpful and made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable. Every part of the process was clearly laid out for me through detailed and timely email correspondence. I only needed to go into the office in person when absolutely necessary, which I really appreciated because of my working schedule. There were several points where my ex and their attorney were not handling things properly, but Kirsten and her team consistently stepped in to explain my options clearly and help me determine the best next steps. They made sure I understood what was happening and gave me confidence even when the other side wasn’t doing their part. If you are in need of legal assistance in Denton or the surrounding areas, I would absolutely recommend contacting Kirsten Bode and her team immediately.

Highly recommend Kirsten Bode. She did a great job of educating me on the process, protecting my interests, and gave outstanding advice. A+

Our experience with Hayes, Berry, White & Vanzant, LLP in Denton was fantastic. Mr. Hayes, Ryan, and the entire team expertly handled our civil case with the utmost professionalism. Communication was excellent and consistent throughout the process. We are extremely pleased with the positive outcome and deeply appreciate their dedication. Highly Highly Recommend

Attorney Kirsten Bode and paralegal Kristina Chiarelli took great care of my case from day one to getting everything wrapped up. I have recommended their work to people in my personal life who have asked for my input.

I hired Ryan Bennett because he appeared to have prior experience in the area of the law where I needed help. Ryan is a nice guy, very respectful and professional. I pulled my legal matter from him today because the firm has a hard & fast retainer policy which I think is over the top. They don’t care about your credit worthiness. You are going to park your cash reserves in their retainer bank account because they have been burned by clients who did not pay their bill. Maybe they should better manage their receivables.
