Contacted Attorney Haynes because a landlord had not returned my deposit timely. She gave me advice to e mail him again and let him know I had spoken to an attorney to give him one last chance to respond but she would definitely assist with filing a small claims suit. I took her advice and magically the landlord had no issues sending my money via PayPal. I absolutely appreciate her giving me advice and would recommend you give her a call if youre needing legal assistance.

Attorney Haynes is an impeccable Attorney. I believe the other comment that was left was when she was practicing with another group of Attorneys who did not perform their services as well as Mrs. or Mrs Haynes. Their law firm has been practicing for over 30 years so one bad review does not do them justice. I would recommended Mrs. Haynes to anyone in the Columbus or Houston Texas area. She treats her clients like they are her family and she handles every case with poise, decency and honesty. I couldn't ask for a better attorney! Mrs. Haynes, you rock!

I have dealt with attorney's offices over the years from Real Estate, Divorces, Executors of family Estates and other legal matters and none have been as unprofessional as this office. I was assigned to a gentleman in the firm that made my experience the worst. I had to call him back multiple times as he didn't return my calls....I really hate chasing people for my business (and money)

Everytime I talked to him I had to re-explain my entire situation (VERY FRUSTRATING)

And he could figure out
