After a series of disappointing representation by other Bexar County family law attorneys, it turns out that Buck is no different. He has one person on his staff and has no problem billing his client's for anything he does, and he does it all. I had to fire him after receiving bloated and inappropriate invoices. On my last statement EVERY single phone call was overbilled between us. Since I was able to prove via my phone bill how many calls and how long, he refunded me. While I received $1,600 back, I didn't receive a refund on anything I couldn't prove. I guarantee he took me for thousands.... An example of inflating his bills: If Buck drops off a document instead of using a courier, he bills $200/hour for that (a courier would've cost $20). For "research" he bills 2 to 3 hours yet he is unable to produce the research saying he left it with the Judge and he refuses to show a print out from Lexis/Nexis (legal research engine). When pressed, Buck stated that I got him for a discount (his standard rate of $200 is apparently a "discount") and this I believe is where he feels justified in overbilling here and there. He also stated that if it takes him 9 hours of reviewing, researching, drafting, etc. for a 4 page brief on conservatorship then it doesn't matter that that is waaaay more time than another attorney of 18 years experience should take. Understand conservatorship is a standard/common family law issue for an attorney with this many years experience. Buck takes his time b/c he knows he can bill his clients and there's nothing we can do about it.If you want an ethical, honest, efficient (I didn't even go into all the times I had to follow up and remind him to do things) keep looking, Buck will ultimately take your money till there's none left.

When my ex-fiance sued me for the return of an engagement ring he gave me as a gift, I called Kevin ﾓBuckﾔ Sralla for help. He was professional and assertive in court and proved my ex-fiance was lying on the stand. Based on Mr. Srallaﾒs skilled lawyering, the judge let me keep the engagement ring because it was given as a gift. I cannot thank Mr. Sralla enough for standing by my side and advocating for my rights at trial. Mr. Sralla took my case seriously and never gave up. He did not stop until I got the relief I deserved.
