Warren Norred was very helpful and professional. He took the time to explain everything that I needed to know and offered solid advice. I would highly recommend this law firm.
I have never encountered such a lack of competence and professionalism from an attorney. Despite being warned about Chad’s limited and ineffective experience, we gave him a chance, and the quality of representation and communication was extremely poor. I would not recommend this firm or Chad Lampe. Update 3/7/26: Norred Law (Owner), you are telling a bold-faced lie. How disgusting. You sent me an email after you returned from a “long vacation” (your words) stating that you would get to the bottom of the issue with Chad as you did not know what was going on—not me—and then I never heard from you again. Don’t try to frame this as me being upset simply because I left a valid and factual one-star review. If anything, it should have been zero stars. I’m not retracting anything I stated in my review.
Candice, I have tried to contact you multiple times about this matter. From what I can tell, you came in, Mr. Lampe gave you an analysis of your situation, but you are now giving us a one-star because you didn't like the results of the analysis. <br><br>I would very much like to hear what you mean by "being warned about Chad's limited and ineffective experience," and why, if that was true, you'd "give him a chance." <br><br>From what I can tell, you've taken his advice, and you are just mad because you didn't like his conclusion. If you don't think he was competent, then it seems you should not do what he suggested. And having taken his advice, it seems like a one-star review is unfair. Weird. <br><br>Second Response: I sent you the email that you didn't respond to (that you agree you received, and which had my cell on it), and then I called you a couple of days later. Multiple times. And I still don't understand what the problem was or is. Good day.
Warren Norred agreed to represent me in a matter I had originally filed pro se. I paid a $10,000 retainer and clearly communicated my priorities for how the representation should proceed. Over the course of several months, some basic filings were made to keep the case active. However, the central objective I retained him to pursue was not advanced. Instead, time was spent developing a different legal direction despite my written instructions that it was not my priority at that stage. Communication was a persistent problem. Many of my emails and directives went unanswered. When I eventually sent an email requesting accountability, I asked that fees spent on work I had not authorized be credited toward the work I had actually requested. He refused and promptly filed a motion to withdraw as counsel. In my experience, the $10,000 retainer and several months of time were largely consumed without advancing the objective I had clearly communicated from the beginning. That time and money would have been better spent retaining competent counsel.
C.G., about half of what you wrote is true. You tried to bypass the need for an attorney by filing what should have been a federal lawsuit, using AI to draft the suit, filing it in a Dallas district court, and finding out the hard way that your suit was terminally flawed. <br><br>In our firm, you have a record for the longest consultation in our 17-year history. I listened to your entire story, went through the filed-and-failing lawsuit, and developed a strategy...that you later rejected. <br><br>We had what seems like the same conversation several times, and each time, I thought we came to an understanding that would recalibrate your situation.<br><br>The problem is that we would talk, and you'd eventually agree that your position was wrong, and then you'd decide *later* that you were really right, and we'd have to repeat the process. <br><br>I would happily show the whole world the extent of the email communications and let reasonable observers see how many times I had to repeatedly correct your "understanding" of law, but you would never agree to that, would you? <br><br>The fact is that you refused to even let me withdraw. You wrote, in opposition to my motion to withdraw, the following: <br><br>"The issues described in counsel's motion-discussions over strategy and counsel's ability to communication are ordinary and remediable professional matters. They do not, on their face, constitute the type of good cause contemplated by Rule 10 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, which requires a sufficient showing to justify withdrawal during active litigation."<br><br>Those are *your* words, that *you* filed, in the docket of the District Courts of Dallas. You wanted me to continue to do useless things that were based on your ChatGPT research, which I showed you over and over was wrong.<br><br>Any reasonable observer can look at the public filings of the case, and see that you wanted me to continue working for you, though you weren't paying me in the manner we agreed, and you were also refusing to take my advice. <br><br>You wanted me to continue representing you, in spite of the fact that you weren't paying for continued representation or taking my advice, and you filed oppositions to my motion to withdraw twice. We agreed that you'd maintain a trust, but you wanted me to work in hopes of future wins. That's not what we agreed to do. <br><br>You have a decent case - it is unfortunate that you refuse to take the advice needed to succeed on it. <br><br>Again, if you want to release me from my duty to maintain confidentiality, I'd be happy to let people see our communications, talk about the number of emails, see your "unanswered" emails, and let everyone see who was being rational, and you was not. <br><br>In spite of all that, I wish you the best of luck. Be sure to show this review to the next attorney and let them know that all good deeds will be punished.
Very good law firm, there's this one person that helps me with IP/copyright/TM stuff Also lawsuits and stuff idrk
Thanks, Bear!
I called the office last week to inquire about legal representation, and unfortunately the experience left a very poor impression. The first thing I noticed was that the woman who answered the phone sounded absolutely miserable, which immediately brought my expectations and enthusiasm for the firm down quite a few pegs. As the conversation continued and I explained the type of attorney I was looking for, her attitude only seemed to worsen. Getting basic information felt like pulling teeth, and the interaction felt rushed and unwelcoming. Eventually, she confirmed that the firm does handle cases like mine and offered to set up a meeting with someone else. However, by that point, I was so turned off by the interaction, her attitude, and what it communicated about the firm as a whole that I decided to take my business elsewhere. Thankfully, today I found another firm that was genuinely excited to take my case. I had no hesitation handing over the $15,000 retainer they requested because I am willing to pay for the level of professionalism and respect clients deserve. I hope management is able to coach whoever answered the phone, as first impressions matter greatly. I can only imagine how many paying clients and how much business may have been lost due to similar interactions.
This is a fake review. All our incoming calls are recorded. This never happened "last week" or any time in the month prior. The account established to create this review has never done anything except make this review. We suspect that the "review" is an attempt to get back at us from a previous suit where we were successful against the person making this review. Google should take this down.
The team at Norred Law was very professional throughout the process, answered all my questions and provided excellent support from start to finish. I am very appreciative for their help.
David, we appreciate your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad our professionalism and support made a positive difference during your experience with Norred Law, PLLC.
Gabby M has never been a client of Norred Law, and appears to be a resident of Florida.
It was very pleasant to work with Clayton Everett and his team at NORRED law firm. They are very open and clear on the process. Any doubt or question we had was timely answered and responded. Angela and Kailey are very professional. Thank you all for your help.
Dipesh, thank you for the feedback!
Very poor service. No debriefing at most important points. I lost on all points with a unanimous jury decision. Lost a loss of money and reputation. Did not get any post trial debriefing after conviction.
Joe, except for the loss, that's not what happened. We assisted you with significant post-judgment matters. You just didn't want to go forward. <br><br>If you want to release me from my obligation to maintain confidences, we can talk about the case in detail, but I don't think that will be helpful to you. <br><br>I'm sorry that it didn't go your way, and I wish for you a good life. - W
One of the most professional and efficient law firms I've ever dealt with in my entire professional career as an entrepreneur. I highly recommend this firm. Chad is incredible.
Thanks, Adam...we appreciate your business!
I highly recommend Norred Law for any legal needs you may have. My experience working with the firm has been nothing short of exceptional. They handled a complex legal matter for me and successfully won the case. When the opposing party failed to meet their payment obligations, the firm didn't stop there—they pursued enforcement diligently and ensured I received what I was owed. Their persistence and dedication made a real difference. What truly sets Norred Law apart is their responsiveness, efficiency, and clear communication throughout the process.If you're looking for a law firm that gets results while keeping you informed and supported along the way, I strongly recommend Norred Law
Thanks, Carla! Holler any time!
“I had a wonderful experience working with Clayton Annette and Angela, They helped me through my bankruptcy case and made the process smooth and stress-free. Everything was explained clearly, handled on time, and I never had any issues. I truly appreciate the professionalism, patience, and support they showed me during such a difficult time. I would highly recommend Norred Law, Inc to anyone needing legal help with bankruptcy or related matters.”
Warren Norred was extremely helpful in reviewing legal issues I had involving a dispute with both a city and a school district. He is very knowledgeable of the law, thorough in his explanations, and provided clear guidance that gave me confidence moving forward. I highly recommend him to anyone needing experienced and trustworthy legal counsel.
When it comes to justice, this is the first place that comes to mind.
They are kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable attorneys. Clayton Everett is the best! I appreciate the help they gave me during a difficult situation.
Working with the Norred Team was easy, and seamless. Business knowledge and professionalism was well above expectations! Highly Recommended
