James Rey Attorneys at Law, P.C. 501 North Kansas Street, El Paso, TX 79901

"Joy degenhart was unprofessional, disrespectful and treads the line of being unhinged when criticized or questioned (at least in my situation). I hired her to represent me in my divorce in 2022. I questioned her about some charges and hoped to renegotiate my contract with the firm. I was immediately dropped as a client and was even charged for a meeting that she had with James Rey to drop me as a client. I asked her why and she literally responded “ because I don’t like you “. She also proceeded to step into my personal space yelling at me to leave, which I perceived as a way for her to provoke me, so I left the office, understandably shaken. I filed a grievance with the texas state bar but somehow her behavior was considered acceptable. As a person of color and a veteran who went through an incredibly difficult and emotional time, I would not recommend this firm for representation. It is hard enough to go through a divorce, but it can be harder when your attorney won’t even put on a facade to care. Any unflattering information presented will be met aggression from this firm. Which is a reason why I waited to make this post."

"I'll begin my review with a small amount of advice. When a divorce is imminent, do not wait to search for an attorney or never try to get through the process alone. My recommendation is to call the James Rey law firm and ask to speak to Joy Dagenhart. Two years ago, after my divorce was final, it was important for me to have a professional go over my decree and clarify some things. To make a long story short, Joy helped me conclude and finalize my divorce as painless and thoroughly as possible. James Rey Attorneys was highly recommended for my needs, and I offer the same level of recommendation today. A small consultant fee can save you thousands over the long run, and I am certain that your needs will be met here. In addition the staff were attentive and just as helpful as my attorney. Thank you, Clavo Martinez"

"Just when I had lost all hope about my child support case. James Rey Attorneys picked up my case after my previous attorney had dropped it, due to him becoming a judge, and ran with it. James Rey Attorneys gave me back that hope I had lost, even the confidence that I needed. They took the time to hear me out, and without hesitation they were quick to initiative and pick up my case, where we had left off. They didnt stop until we came up with an agreement and arrangement where I was happy. The communication from this team was outstanding. They kept me up to date with everything and answered all questions I had. Having a strong team like the James Rey Attorneys was definitely a privilege and a great experience. I could only imagine if I would of started with this attorney at the beginning of my case. Still all in all, I'm very happy with the closing of my case. Thank you James Rey Attorneys."

"Joy Degenhart worked my son's divorce. Initially she was very attentive and seemed to care about his case. However, as the process moved along it became increasingly difficult to get an appointment to speak with her. It also seemed as though we had to continually ask for an update and things didn't seem to get done until we followed up with her. When she accused our son of "blowing up" his own case I asked why she didn't meet with our son prior to the court date with the judge to go over what he should and shouldn't say and/or do. She accused me of attacking her and promptly hung up on us. She has since dropped our son as a client even though his case isn't finished and we have an upcoming court date with no lawyer to help us. Joy and the James Rey firm took approximately $12,000 from us over the past 15 or so months and they have left us high and dry. She accused me and our son of unprofessional behavior when she is being completely unprofessional herself. I do NOT recommend this law firm."

"The entire staff at James Rey Attorneys at Law were kind and professional with me throughout my divorce process five years ago. Five years later I had to reach out to have an issue resolved and the office staff were prompt and helpful in gathering information and scheduling my consult. Mr. Rey remembered, not only who I was, but details about my divorce. He was warm and helped me resolve my issue in a way that benefited me most. I would highly recommend Mr. Rey and his staff above any other attorney I’ve ever dealt with throughout my life and career."
