Mona Hosseiny-Tovar represented me in my divorce. Anytime I had a question or needed anything she was always quick to respond and didn’t mind answering any of my “dumb questions”. She was very kind and understanding of what I wanted and how to navigate the best possible solution. Mona is extremely knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend her and the Goranson Bain Ausley firm.

Going through a divorce is an emotional and complex thing to endure. Having the support of a positive, thoughtful, and caring lawyer is key. Esther and Jill made a very tough situation manageable. They were extremely organized and their support was unwavering. They turned an emotional process into a manageable endeavor. Esther’s empathy and understanding helped me in more ways that just what a typical lawyer would do. My divorce was finalized in a few months because of the constant support of Esther and Jill. While I pray no one has to go through a divorce; if you are in that situation I highly recommend Esther Donald and the team at Goranson Bain Ausley.

Paulette Mueller made my grandmothers estate go broke, made her delinquent on her taxes (simply did not file) cancelled our homeowners insurance and accepted only roughly 8k on a full coverage 250k+ policy which has led to black mold growing in the home my grandparents built by hand making my baby very sick. Made disgusting remarks about our home upon inspection in regards to a guardianship proceeding while we remained polite and courteous despite the situation, and now, at the ripe age of 21 I am in therapy full time over the horrific consequences she and (others involved) caused that have now fallen upon my shoulders. I am utterly disappointed, and heartbroken. I will never be the same. My grandmother died in vain, under ungodly amounts of stress. May God guide Paulette to have a heart full of empathy and compassion towards her future victims. Only the Lord knows the amount of trauma and havoc she reaped on my beautiful grandmother. May God guide her to remain in a mindset of kindness, and fairness, as I wouldn’t wish this turmoil on anyone. But as my grandmother would want me to live, I forgive her. I only hope for her growth and progress in a positive direction for the future. I. Will. Never. Be. The. Same. I am gone. At the age of 21, I am now a shell of who I once was. The person that raised me from diapers, put me into college, got my first car, carried herself in such a generous and Godly manner, died in vain. May God rest her beautiful soul, because now her pain and stressors have become an everyday part of my life. The only human beings that loved me unconditionally, my grandparents(parents), are now dead and gone forever, and I am alone in this scary world. I hope Paulette can see my review as more than a mere critique but an insight to my new reality, and hopefully, some of what I said will invite a new presence of good faith to her future clients, not only for the benefit of them, but for her conscious as well. I was just a kid. God, what did we do to deserve this?

Charged my sister over 4500 to file chapter 13 when she's already lost everything in a divorce and to the IRS. Sort these reviews by lowest star and you'll find the real ones. Notice all the 5 star are written by someone who just had an initial conversation. Or never reviewed anyone until now. Or my personal favorite, a DOCTOR WHO FILED BANKRUPTCY with these guys? Look at this smart ass response to a one star review. Disgusting.

Mary Beth Sullivan is inept and passive.
I hired Mary Beth to represent me in a Child Support Modification Case. At best she allowed opposing counsel to set the tone and pace. By the end of the Pre-Trial I was in a worse position that when we started. As a result of her poor decisions and incompetence, I realized that I needed to start over and find another lawyer. As a suggestion, please ask for references and outcomes of a cases similar to yours before hiring her.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Stephanie Rhima represent my son during one of the most challenging times of his life. He was wrongfully accused of causing the tragic death of his very good friend in an unfortunate incident. The trauma he experienced from watching his friend pass away in his car, his efforts to revive her, and the overwhelming interactions with authorities were beyond anything we could have imagined. When the deceased's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against my son, it added even more to his emotional burden.
Stephanie was not only highly professional but also deeply compassionate. She handled my son's emotional state with such sensitivity while effectively dealing with the opposing counsel, ultimately convincing them to withdraw the lawsuit. Her kindness and expertise were a source of great comfort to our family, and we are forever grateful for her advocacy. Thank you, Stephanie, for standing by my son and our family during such a difficult time.

I cannot express my appreciation adequately enough for how Meyer Friedman Reed PLLC has helped our family.
Over a year ago I got a red light ticket in Dallas and Meyer Friedman Reed got it dismissed.
So when my daughter had an issue with old tickets and warrants Meyer Friedman Reed tackled them and ALL OF MY DAUGHTERS tickets were dismissed.
They have become a good friend to our family.
The most honest straightforward wonderful people is their entire firm.
The paralegals, Delilah, all the lady’s over the last few months have been incredible
I’ll never be able to thank them enough
Thank you Meyer Friedman Reed for being REAL, and the wonderful people you are

This is hands down the best legal representation I trust for myself or my family. Over 10 years ago I got into trouble and Mr. Clancy went above and beyond to help me with amazing representation. So much so afterwards I was able to pivot and I went on to earn a Bachelor's and working towards my Masters Degree and none of this would be possible if I didn't have the proper representation. It's hard to find a lawyer who would work hard for you, and thankfully I was able to obtain representation from Daniel Clancy and I changed my life afterwards. I graduated with Honors from college and I can't thank him enough. I trust Daniel Clancy with my family and friends who need legal representation and I believe he is one of the best to do it. Thank you so much Daniel Clancy for helping me. If you need someone who can actually get the job done, Danny is the best place to start if you're in Texas.

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!

My experience with Alison as my divorce attorney was very positive! She helped me get what was best for my daughter and I which included custody, home, temp orders, etc. She was not intimidated by my husband or his lawyer and was there by my side every inch. Alison did not exaggerate her fees either. Choose Alison and you will not be disappointed.

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.

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. -

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. -

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.
