Sam Flores Law, PLLC

4.8559 Google reviews

Sam Flores Law, PLLC is a law office on Yandell Dr in El Paso, open weekdays from 8:30 to 5. Google lists it simply as a law firm, and its web presence is a Facebook page with no readable practice description, so this write-up rests on client reviews. Those reviews describe divorce cases through to final judgment and child custody matters, handled by the attorney with a small support team.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe divorces taken from start to final judgment
  • Custody clients say the attorney explained each step and gave prompt updates
  • Paralegals are named for answering questions quickly and clearly
  • Most ratings are five stars across a large review base

Worth knowing

  • No practice details are published on a website we could read, so confirm what the office handles
  • A small share of ratings are one star

Maynez Law & Associates

4.7372 Google reviews

Maynez Law & Associates is an El Paso office on Montana Ave that Google types as a family law attorney, with criminal justice and personal injury attorney listed as well. It has no website we could read, so this description draws on its Google profile and reviews. Clients mention family matters, court representation, a car accident claim and powers of attorney, so it is a general practice rather than a family-only firm.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe an attorney who was prepared in court
  • Clients mention the office manager for patience and for working out payments
  • A car accident client calls the team responsive and clear
  • Powers of attorney were described as quick and easy

Worth knowing

Our take: Family law is the whole story here, and reviewers who write about custody are warm about the attorney's directness. It simply has fewer reviews than the first two names.

Our take: A strong choice for child support and custody, particularly for service members who value direct contact. Its published promise of no intermediaries is the firm's own claim, so ask how it works day to day.

How the scorecard works

Rating is the firm’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated it, set against other El Paso family law offices we looked at. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so 4.7 from hundreds of clients counts for more than a perfect score from a handful. Recency tracks whether clients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does a divorce or custody lawyer cost in El Paso? (2026)

Family law pricing depends heavily on whether both sides agree. An uncontested divorce is typically cheaper than a contested custody fight, and hourly rates, retainers and court costs can all move the total. None of these offices publish prices we could verify, so we don’t list figures here. Ask for a written fee agreement and an explanation of what is billed separately.

Finding a family lawyer near you in El Paso

These offices sit around central El Paso, on Montana Ave, Yandell Dr, E Main St and N Kansas St. If you are searching for a divorce lawyer near me, each listing shows a phone number, so you can call the closest office and ask about availability for a first consultation.

What to ask a divorce or custody attorney

  • Do you handle contested cases, and how often do they go to court?
  • Who will answer my calls, you or a paralegal?
  • How is your fee set up, and what costs are billed separately?
  • What happens to my payments if the case settles early?
  • Can you walk me through the next three steps for my situation?

Frequently asked questions

Do any of these offices also handle criminal cases?

Several do. Maynez Law & Associates, Rey & Degenhart and Rosales Law Firm all list criminal justice work alongside family law on their Google profiles, so ask whether the attorney handling your matter focuses on family law.

Is a free consultation common for divorce cases?

It varies. Some offices charge for an initial meeting and some credit it toward the fee. None of the firms here state their consultation terms where we could verify them, so ask when you call.

Our suggestion

Sam Flores Law, PLLC is the safe starting point on review history, and Pease & Associates Law Firm, PLLC is worth a call if your matter is mainly custody. Before you hire anyone, get the fee agreement in writing and ask who your day-to-day contact will be.
