I have known Michael Stephens since 2002 that's 22 years. He always offered a listening ear. Been there when you needed him and when you did not. He gave me the greatest gift you can ever give a person . I believe sure freedom is great. His firm got my 2 children back from the state ,that their Mother had lost when they were 6 months,1 year of age. They both went on to Graduate and have successful life's and continued to excel in there lives. I became a Grandfather on November 14,2023. You cannot ask an attorney for more than that. Eternally Grateful for him. He continues to be the same person he was then as he is now. He's an outstanding Practicing Criminal lawyer as well.

After nine years and three different lawyers, I found Kristen Carr at Varghese Summersett at a time when I needed her the most. Through these years, I’ve learned an important lesson: lawyers are not your friends, nor should they have their own agenda—they are there to litigate for you and your case. That is exactly what Kristen Carr did.
Kristen is not only incredibly skilled in navigating the courtroom, but she also knows how to litigate effectively with a judge and conduct precise, impactful cross-examinations. What truly sets her apart, though, is her ability to pick up on critical details that may seem obvious to me as the client but are often difficult to articulate. She would grasp these nuances and fully understand who and what we were up against.
For the first time in my long and difficult custody battle, I felt validated as a client. These cases are incredibly messy and emotionally exhausting, but every time I spoke with Kristen, I felt a sense of relief. I knew I was in capable hands and had someone genuinely fighting for me.
I will never forget the first time we met. I didn’t even have to step into the courtroom—a place that is both intimidating and highly tense. Kristen walked into the waiting room, handed me papers the judge had signed, and said, “Go get your son.” In that moment, years of fear, stress, and uncertainty melted away.
While I had strong evidence in my favor, I can’t overstate how Kristen’s handling of my case probably saved years of my life. After nearly a decade of fighting with ineffective lawyers, I could finally breathe knowing Kristen was fighting for me and that she truly knew her stuff.
I would highly recommend Varghese Summersett for any type of case you are facing. Kristen Carr, thank you—you have truly helped change my life and my son’s life forever.

Warning to anyone tempted to engage with this company: many of their reviews are clearly false (you can pay for reviews or people sometimes have family members leave fake reviews). In addition, they are involved in several lawsuits.

I had a serious mold issue in my home due to defects caused by the builder, which led me to seek legal help from Moster Law Firm. At first, the communication was a bit uncertain, and I wasn’t sure how things would proceed. However, once we received a response from the opposing counsel, Shahriar made it a priority to keep me updated every step of the way.
He regularly checked in through emails and phone calls, ensuring I was informed about any developments in my case. His professionalism and dedication gave me confidence that my concerns were being taken seriously. In the end, I felt supported throughout the process.
I appreciate the effort put in by Shahriar and the team at Moster Law Firm. If you're dealing with a similar issue and need a firm that will fight for you while keeping you informed, I would recommend them.

I wanted to file for divorce immediately from my narcissistic husband and I needed an attorney. I found Mark on this site! Read his reviews and had to give him a call. He scheduled my consultation right away and immediately I knew he was the right Attorney for me! He is smart, well versed in the Texas law, and does not overcharge you like other attorneys! If anything I appreciated all of his honesty. He is upfront with everything - good or bad! I moved to a different state I'm the middle of the divorce to take a job and he still stayed on top of everything! My contested divorce ended up in court and Mark ran circles around my ex's attorney! He was AWESOME! Because of Mark I am finally free ! I would hire h all over again!

A lot of thanks to Mr. Dorsey, we were able to get out our rental house lease contract with the landlord, and have our deposit/pre-paid rent back.
We were happy with the rental house, until there was a slab leak back in June. I noticed that the engineered wood floor was popping up, and heard the watery sound when stepping on it. Told the landlord about the problem, and it took him 3 weeks to finally accept it's a slab leak and fix it. Therefore on July 4th afternoon, the landlord decided to shut off the main water, and asked us to stay in the house using water tank to temporarily hold water for use. We refused mainly for our 1.5 years old daughter, and moved into a nearby hotel room. We stayed there for a week until we determined that this was not going to work, and learned that the landlord was expecting our renter's insurance to pay for the hotel stay, not from his home insurance or his pocket. Given this financial constraint, as we as the fact that the repair work will take at least another 3 weeks, for which we will have to move our furnitures as well, we asked to terminate the lease contract. We told the landlord that in addition to the timing problem, we have serious health concerns to have our toddler live back to a dirty water soaked place, and my wife was going through a pre-scheduled medical procedure, making it even more difficult not to have a stable place to stay. The landlord had his brother (who happened to be his property manager and they both live in Austin) to tell us that we should keep our medical conditions only to ourselves, and it's irrelevant to the lease term. At this time I already pre-paid the July rent, so the landlord told us unless we agree to forfeit our deposit and July rent, he is not letting us to move out. After a lot of phone calls, we were out of options, and decided to request legal assistance.
Fortunately for us, my wife enrolled legal assistance program through her employer, and was given a list of local lawyers who are in the legal network. I tried to make phone calls, which lead me to Mr. Dorsey, who not only spent his precious time listening to our situation, but also immediately started looking into the related law to help us. The same day he drafted a letter and sent it over to the landlord and his brother. Next day the landlord agreed to us moving out and returning the deposit/pre-paid rent, as long as I complete the move-out cleaning. After I provided the evidence that I cleaned everything as required the same weekend, the landlord returned our deposit and half of July rent, since we were only able to move our furnitures out by July 16th.
It was very unfortunate situation that we had such unpleasant experience with this kind of landlord, but we were so fortunate to have Mr. Dorsey on our side helping us deal with such unfair and illegal activities. To me it was the fact that after being pushed around and tried to accommodate in every possible way, only Mr. Dorsey was willing to listen to us and be our voice to fight on our behalf, this truly matters and means so much to us. I never thought the landlord would be willing to compromise until Mr. Dorsey's letter did the magic. Our most sincere appreciation, Mr. Dorsey! Also lessons learned, always good to have a legal support when dealing with unfair and illegal activities.

Farid is the best. I can’t thank him enough, he is always on time, he responds quickly, finds solutions to obstacles and difficulties.

I recently had the good fortune of working with Esther Donald on my collaberative divorce. Esther came highly recommeded to me and she lived up to the billing. The divorce process was much more challenging than I had anticipated. Esther was instrumental in getting the divorce done collaberatively, thus preventing litigation. Her advice was always spot on and she was always willing to lend an empathetic ear. Her ability to get my case across the finish line, working with multiple lawyers, was truly impressive. It was clear to me that Esther was invested in me as a client, as I am sure she is with all of her clients. Should you need a collaberative divorce attorney, I strongly recommend Esther.

I recently hired the office of Friedman and Feiger for a pretty intense legal battle. My mental health and livelihood were on the line. Jason Friedman, Larry Friedman and Tara Munder took immediate action.
It had been some time since I felt protected/safe. I was protected and defended by what I would call nothing less than a legal dream team. Larry Friedman and Jason Friedman are two of the smartest and most talented lawyer’s. Critical thinking and analytical skills like no other.
I prophesied that the Friedman’s and the firm always live in a winning season.
Anyone can fight, but these guys are my champions!

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
