As someone who found themselves entangled in legal proceedings, I had the fortune of being represented by Attorney Sean Simpson. From the moment I enlisted his services, Mr. Simpson demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and a commitment to excellence that exceeded my expectations.
Punctuality is a virtue often overlooked in the legal realm, yet Mr. Simpson embodied it effortlessly. He meticulously adhered to deadlines and ensured that every aspect of my case progressed seamlessly. His proactive approach to pushing along dates and expediting motions showcased his dedication to securing the best possible outcome for his clients.
What truly set Attorney Simpson apart was his tireless advocacy on my behalf. Utilizing his vast legal expertise, he leveraged every available resource to bolster my defense. From tapping into his network of esteemed colleagues to liaising with probation officials, he left no stone unturned in his pursuit of justice. His strategic maneuvering and tenacity in utilizing all available legal assets undoubtedly contributed to the favorable resolution of my case.
Communication is the cornerstone of any successful attorney-client relationship, and Mr. Simpson excelled in this regard. Throughout the entirety of my legal journey, he kept me informed and involved every step of the way. From promptly scheduling appointments to promptly addressing any concerns or queries, his unwavering commitment to keeping me informed instilled confidence and reassurance during a challenging time.
Thanks to Attorney Sean Simpson’s exceptional legal acumen and unwavering dedication, my case was ultimately dismissed and thrown out, alleviating any lingering worries and allowing me to move forward with peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Simpson to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation. With him by your side, you can rest assured that your legal matters are in the most capable hands.

Never sign without a second opinion. When my freedom was on the line, I knew I needed more than just a court-appointed lawyer. Sean Simpson became my advocate, ensuring I wasn't just another case, but a person with responsibilities and loved ones. His consistent presence at every court date, coupled with unwavering confidence, made me feel supported throughout. Instead of facing a year behind bars, Sean secured just two months of jail time, a significant reduction from the two years of probation I was initially offered. His flexible payment plan made the legal process less burdensome. Thank you, Sean R. Simpson, for your dedication and compassion.

Mr Andre Turner,
Thank you so much! Your hard work, dedication, strategy, communication and planning made it possible for me to be granted primary custodial parent for my children.
Mr Turner and Edith were in constant contact with me. Never left me in the dark of what direction we may take. Advice was always suggested and always smart.
The hard work showed and paid off on December 20th 2024 when I was walking out of court in disbelief. "I am now the primary custodial parent". Mr Turner shook my hand and gave me the greatest Christmas present I could have ever imagined or asked for.
I have recommended Mr Turner to people who are in similar situations as I was/am.
Even after being granted primary custody, Mr Turner and Edith are still there helping me.
I'm glad I made the call in July!

I would never wish a divorce or child custody case on anyone. It is one of the most mental exhausting and emotionally draining things a parent can experience. I spent a good deal of time researching lawyers and having consultations meetings to find the best fit for me. I chose Randy because he was the only one that shot me straight. He laid out how things would go and never gave me false hope. He was the best decision I could’ve made for my case. As a dad it often feels like we get the raw end of the deal when it comes to child custody. In my case it was the exact opposite. Randy advised me the whole way, and it worked out better than I could’ve hoped for. His paralegal Amanda was always available to answer questions and help guide me through the process. You won’t regret picking this team.

Randy Mora is an amazing attorney! You wont find a more honest and better attorney in Texas or in San Antonio. I don't say that loosely. He was great in helping with my divorce case. Both he and his team are very professional and were on top of my case to get me the outcome I was looking for. You are going to get more than the value of your money working with him and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great legal representation for their divorce cases. Thanks again for all you did for my case!

WIth Hector and his associates, i felt like family. They were always honest and just a phone call or email away to reassure me and tell me exactly how the case was going. The many years of experience resonated when they walked the halls and the courts of Bexar County, as everybody always greeted them like friends. There was never a rush to conclude my case as they slowly and manticulously worked to get me the best possible outcome. They never made any promises, but the outcome was better than I could have ever asked for. All businesses of San Antonio should be run like the offices of Hector Gonzales. My family truly thanks you!

My experience with Rosa, my divorce attorney, was truly exceptional. Rosa is incredibly wise and knowledgeable about the legal system, which gave me confidence from the very beginning. Additionally, her patience and ability to listen made such an emotional and complicated process much more manageable. Her strategic approach and unwavering commitment to my case proved that anyone who places their trust in her is sure to win their case. Thanks to Rosa, we were finally able to reach a fair and peaceful agreement between my ex-husband and me, something that initially seemed impossible. Her professionalism and dedication made a significant difference in my life.

I hired him and he took care of things just as he said he would and for the amount he quoted me. A couple years later I reached out to him regarding a misdemeanor issue with my son, he not only called me back after I texted him, he counseled me at no charge. He's like an Angel on my shoulder.

Contentious divorce and custody battles don't just affect the immediate family; they ripple out, impacting extended families and friends. As someone who loves and supports a family member going through such a difficult time, I experienced firsthand the emotional toll these situations can take. We often become the ones helping carry the burdens created by the breakdown of a family.
As the brother of a Soulsby Law client, I feel compelled to leave this review—not only to express my gratitude for the tremendous work they did on my brother’s case but also to encourage others to refer their loved ones to the Soulsby Law Firm if they're facing similar challenges.
From the very beginning, the experience with Soulsby Law was exceptional. My brother had reached out to several attorneys before contacting Soulsby, but he knew immediately that this was the right fit. Stephanie, the front desk receptionist, was kind, patient, and professional. She made him feel at ease and promptly set up his meeting with Kate, which was the start of a life-changing process.
I’ll never forget the excitement in my brother’s voice after his first meeting with Kate. He told me, “I’ve found the attorney I need.” Kate was attentive, confident, and compassionate—not just during that initial meeting, but throughout the entire process. Her unwavering dedication and expertise ensured that my brother achieved the results he needed: more time with his children and a say in their medical care.
Of course, great outcomes are the result of teamwork, and Kate’s team is phenomenal. Amy was in constant contact with my brother, keeping him updated on developments and breaking down complex legal issues in a way that was easy to understand. Her calm demeanor was a source of reassurance during what could have been a storm of uncertainty.
And then there’s June, whom my brother affectionately referred to as “Kate’s Filing Cabinet.” Her ability to organize, recall, and present relevant information during court preparations and proceedings was nothing short of legendary.
Having been involved in combat sports my whole life, I’ve learned the importance of preparation. Walking onto the mat unprepared leaves you anxious and vulnerable, but stepping up with the confidence of thorough training changes everything. Thanks to Kate and her team, my brother walked into the courtroom prepared and confident, knowing he was in good hands.
I’m deeply grateful to the Soulsby Law Firm for helping my brother gain more time with his children. Their work has had a profound impact on all of us—because of them, I now get to see my niece and nephew more often. For anyone navigating the challenges of divorce or custody, I can’t recommend Soulsby Law highly enough.
I hope they have the day they deserve...which would be a day full of happiness!

I cannot say enough good things about Clepper Harrison & Duffy PLLC. From start to finish, I experienced the upmost professionalism and compassion. I ended every interaction with confidence and certainty. At the end of every call, Chanda and I both had clear expectations on what to do next--I had my tasks, she had hers, and every time we followed up, we were on the same page. She and her team are highly prepared, proficient, prompt, and consistent. I appreciated that the billing information was explained so well that I never felt like I had to wonder how much things were going to cost. I was billed on the 1st and the 15th of every month, and I personally loved that consistency. Although I have never worked with attorneys before, my personal opinion was that their fees were extremely fair and honest. Each bill had a running record of every item they completed, with times, dates, and explanations. I loved their practicality of providing phone calls and zoom calls, rather than meeting in person. My whole divorce was handled over phone calls/zooms and I never had to step foot into a court room. Although everyone's experience is different, I was able to complete an amicable, uncontested divorce that was finalized in just over 60 days. Without the help of Chanda and her team, there is no way I would have been able to do this on my own. I was very pleased with my outcome, which is astounding that I am even writing this sentence, because I am a person who never thought divorce was an option. If you're reading this and feel as though you have gotten to the point where divorce is now your only option, know that you will be fully taken care of by Clepper Harrison & Duffy PLLC.

Phillip has been OUTSTANDING! I never expected such great service and attentiveness from an attorney.
His average response time was less than 30 minutes, INCLUDING after hours texts.
He would even respond back to me after hours when I specifically wrote to him, telling him not to worry about answering my questions until the next business day.
The circumstances were life altering, and he was extremely compassionate, understanding, and CARING.
Thanks Philip, and crew for helping me through this horrible life changing event.
I hope I don't need you again, but if I do, there's no one else that i would consider calling upon.

- 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.

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.
