Mr. Casey was extremely helpful with our child custody case. I never imagined that I would get the results that I did as a father. We were in great hands from beginning to end and I don't believe that we were just another case. He truly cares for my children and their well-being. Mr. Casey makes you feel like you're working with a friend, not a lawyer. I couldn't have had a better experience

We can not thank Mr. Casey enough for all he has done for us. During our most challenging times he has remained stedfast and has helped us throughout our circumstances and beyond. He is an honest Godly family man. He is non judgmental. He goes above and beyond to advocate for his clients. We are truly blessed to have him as our Attorney. We would highly reccomend him for any legal issues you may have. He is sincere and caring as well. On a scale of 1-10, he is definitely 20+! Further he is complimented by his wonderful staff Debbie and Elijah! They are great!

I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Casey and utilizing his services during one of the roughest periods of my life. Mr. Casey has represented me during a rather emotionally turbulent divorce proceeding. He has always demonstrated the qualities of integrity, skill, and professionalism beyond reproach. He is a man of intelligence who is skilled in his craft as a litigator. I happened to have one of those "he said, she said" sort of scenarios with rather significant allegations. Mr. Casey was not phased by the task at hand. He was the best champion for my case I could ever ask for. His attention to detail was impeccable, and was able to illustrate for the court the inconsistencies in the testimonies of opposing counsel's witnesses. Mr. Casey has two rules: be kind and polite to his office staff, and be honest and forthcoming with information. He will not judge you. He WILL be your advocate. However you must realize he cannot effectively do what he needs to do without honesty from you as a client. He cannot know to much about your case. Even those parts which you might be ashamed of or embarrassed by. Mr. Casey has been a champion for my cause, a confidant, and a source of stability for me when my life was chaotic. He has held my hand as I wept both tears of joy and frustration. He has helped to not only improve my legal situation, but helped nourish my soul as well. He gave me one of the greatest gifts I have ever received; he reunited me with my children.

I was charged with retaliation (threatening to kill a police officer). I was acting stupid and of course I didn’t mean any of that. Pretty sure the police knew it but they don’t take kindly to perceived threats. Wood had the case thrown out in less than ten minutes. Better call Wood!

My son was arrested and charged with Aggravated Robbery and Felon with a Weapon cases based on a lie. The police arrested him with ZERO evidence other than lies told by an acquaintance. Sad to say the DA accepted charges based on nothing but the say so of a known liar and criminal. Seems like the cops round up whoever and like magic - “Another case closed!” NOT. Then the judge held him at NO BOND because of his past convictions. Wood convinced the DA’s to dismiss it but in case they wouldn’t, Wood kept asking theme to go to the grand jury with it so he could set it for trial. Took a month or so but finally both cases were dismissed. I told my son to pick his acquaintances better but sometimes even your own kids need to learn some lessons on their own.

Jeremiah Williams is amazing! I cannot say enough great things about Mr. Williams. He was extremely knowledgable, professional and communicated effectively throughout my whole ordeal. This was the first time I’ve ever gotten in any trouble due to poor judgment on my part. He was upfront from the beginning and reassured me that he would get it taken care of and he did just that. He was quick to get started on my case and was able to get my case dismissed and then expunged from my record! I was never more relieved to hear those words. Mr. Williams is an exceptional lawyer and would highly recommend him!

Attorney Kathy Erickson is a professional on every level. She is fair, upfront, honest and sincere. She handled my case with the highest concern for myself and my child. Her knowledge about the legal system is unparalleled and her compassion and understanding for her clients is profound. It's rare to find a lawyer who not only represents you well, but has a natural ability to connect with you on a personal level. That understanding is crucial in achieving the best outcome possible for all involved.

Kathy Erickson's experience with problematic personalities helped me confirm my suspicions that I had married a covert and manipulative abuser. She accurately predicted my ex's behaviors during the divorce process and helped me navigate a minefield of control tactics and protect my children. Kathy's investigative and documentation skills ultimately helped me expose my ex's true character to the court. I highly recommend her to anyone who is trying to defend their children from an abusive parent.

Ms. Hicks is an amazing attorney. She is supportive, understanding and helps through every step of the process. She communicates well and has never let me down. She quickly deals with issues as they come and she truly cares about her clients. I have found her to be supportive throughout the process, especially because it is an emotional one. She will tell you exactly how it is, but she is also kind and gives solutions/ advice to problems that may arise. I highly recommend her if you are going through a divorce as she will fight for you and keep your best interests in mind.

My niece was facing a very difficult and complicated custody battle for her little girl; so, my wife and I stepped in to help. We located Dana and could not be more pleased with the choice. He proved to have a depth of knowledge with respect to family law that is equal or greater than the best family attorneys in the area. Our basis for this statement includes both attorneys we have engaged in the past as well as those we encountered from the opposing side. Dana coupled this with exceptional strategy as he applied the law in a manner that stayed one step ahead of opposing counsel. His knowledge and skill, however, are equally matched with compassion and true concern for not only our niece as his client but for her daughter, which was very clear with his exceptional communication skills. My wife and I highly recommend Dana and his firm to anyone facing any family law situation, including and especially those that are the most difficult and that have the most at stake.

Lisa never sugarcoats anything and her team takes crispy actions to help me fight through this ugly divorce case. Some people are fortunate enough that they never encounter divorce as a chapter of their life, but unfortunately, I had to experience this tough journey.

We started the process of adopting our twin great nieces when they were 8 months old. Our first lawyer basically stole our retainer and did nothing and did not even inform us the case was dismissed. In seeking a new attorney we stumbled upon Mrs. Delvaille through my husband's company program. We called and spoke of our situation and she advised it was not her specialty. We continued searching. The next day she called us back and told us that our story touched her and if we would allow her to, she would like to take our case with the understanding it would also be a learning process for her. BEST decision we ever made. It took 2 years from the time we began with her (girls were 3 at that time) and though we had some setbacks due to the uncooperative legal system and judge, last week (4/16/2024) our family was finally, legally, complete!!! She was always very responsive to any and all questions we had. Even though this was not her specialty she soared through it like a pro. She sought out guidance from other legal professionals when needed. Even though our case is resolved I am pretty sure Tamisha will always be a part of our family now!

From the moment I reached out to the Tamisha Delvaille Law Firm, I was met with a level of professionalism and promptness that truly set the stage for the entire experience. Tamisha Delvaille, the beacon of this exceptional firm, handled my case with a combination of speed, efficiency, and unparalleled legal acumen that not only exceeded my expectations but also profoundly impacted my outlook on legal support and advocacy. Tamisha’s approach to my situation was nothing short of remarkable. Her depth of knowledge in the legal field was evident from our very first interaction. She demonstrated an exceptional ability to navigate the complexities of the law with ease, ensuring that every aspect of my case was addressed with meticulous attention to detail. Her commitment to excellence was clear in every document drafted, every strategy formulated, and every advice given. What stood out most, however, was Tamisha’s responsiveness. In a world where time is often of the essence, Tamisha’s ability to provide swift, yet thorough responses to my queries and concerns was a breath of fresh air. She ensured that I was well-informed and comfortable with each step of the legal process, making what could have been a daunting experience, smooth and stress-free. Her professionalism extends beyond her legal expertise. Tamisha’s interpersonal skills and empathetic nature made me feel valued and respected as a client. Her dedication to my case felt personal, as if she was fighting for a member of her own family. This level of care and commitment is a rare find in any industry. All of these and more make her an invaluable asset to any result-oriented firm, family, or individual. I am beyond grateful for her support and will consistently recommend Tamisha to those in search of top-tier legal representation. Without a doubt, she has earned my 10-star review and my utmost respect. God bless you...

Laura is the synonym of the best possible solution & the best outcome you can ever think of in your dreams. She is a great listener & strategist, her approach to address the issues is analytical and result oriented. She does deep analysis of the case and prepares a very thorough method of attack to drive the desired outcome. Her exceptional knowledge of International & Domestic family law makes her the best among the best lawyers. Sometimes this fight can be very frustrating and uncontrolled when it involves kids custody, Bankruptcy, Property, Immigration issues, CPS, Police, Psychologists, and several other similar entities. I became completely impressed with Laura & her team’s overall strategies to handle the issues during my extremely complex battle of child custody and divorce case. The best part was that I was able to work with Laura and her team very closely, hand in hand. I am very happy and grateful that Laura continued to effectively walk me through the process and got the job done. She even kept the process financially fair! Her team was accessible and willing to answer all my questions (even when I kept asking several question beyond their scope!) with full honesty and understanding.

Laura is the most competent and knowledgable family law attorneys you will find in the Houston area. Laura is well established and respected in her field. Laura is highly sought after, yet in her busy schedule, she is easily accessible to the client if you need her. She will fight for you and fight for what is right, with the highest level of integrity and empathy. Laura is handling my complicated high conflict case with such ease and class that she has given me a hope in a scary process. Laura’s associate attorneys, Ashley and Nicholas, are easily reached by email or phone and are experts who strengthen the case. Each attorney explains the law and case to you in detail, so that you can make informed decisions. The paralegal on my case, Jamie, leaves no item undone. Jamie is on top of all issues and responds to emails within the hour, to provide me with acknowledgements or updates. I have not once in 9 months wondered about the status of my case, because Laura’s team stays close to my side. I am very happy to have chosen Laura to protect and represent me in this complex process. I would pick Laura again in a heartbeat. My legal counsel is meticulous, pays great attention to detail, and are representing me with dedication. Laura and her associate’s fees are very fair and just. If you need one of the strongest attorneys in Houston to represent you, then your first call needs to be to Laura’s office. She will help you.

Divorce is one of the most stressful situations some people go through in their lifetime. You do not want to be in the hot seat.

Imagine leaving that same room coming to an agreement on custody and property where you have the upper hand on both. You have just finalized your child custody issues. You are in the best position for you and your child’s future. You’ve been given the assets you deserve. You didn’t need to compromise on either because you had Steve and his team on your court.

I had a great experience with Roland Barbosa representing me in my divorce. It's never a pleasant experience to go through the legal process of divorce, but Roland made it simple and straightforward and provided numerous updates (and answers to my several questions) as I waited for the (long and slow) Dallas County courts to sign the paperwork that had been sitting on their docket for over 2 weeks. An uncontested, amicable divorce should be easy, and despite the draconian Texas laws, Roland helped make the process as easy as it could be. When the divorce decree was finally signed, he gave me an update even before the electronic system registered a change in the case. His fee is straightforward, and he provided all the paperwork we needed for all the potential steps in the case, from initial questionnaire to final filing and special warranty deed for the transfer of the home. I would highly recommend Roland to anyone seeking a streamlined process to divorce in the DFW area.

I went through an eviction process in JP Court and represented myself, (I am the Landlord). I was successful, ( I thought), and judgement was granted in my favor. Instead of moving out, tenant filed an appeal, to have the case re-tried in County Court. Tenant claimed COVID protections, CARES Act protections, among many other things, and was successful in getting an appeal granted. I learned real quick that because of the times we were currently experiencing, that this was going to be a complicated, uphill battle. I hired the Guest and Gray Law Firm to take this matter over. Scott Gray was great at getting this case together and ready for court. Robert Guest took it before the Judge and tried the case. What had been a months long horrible situation for me, was finally over, when these guys got the case before the Judge. Judgement was awarded in my favor and tenant had to vacate. These people are great, charged an extremely fair price, and did an outstanding job. Getting a case like this before a judge during these difficult times is a huge task. Getting a positive verdict even more so. Thank you Scott and Robert!

I am writing this review on behalf of Rob McAngus. Rob demonstrated great professionalism and an awareness of the situation I was facing with custody for my son Justin Jr. He was a very strong advocate and very gracious with me in working with me because financial hardship. I got the desired outcome for my son as I have sole custody at this time. I will look forward to using his services again in the future as we work to seek permanent residence and custody as well as recommending his services to any family and friend that may be in need of his services.

Over the last 4 years my partner and I have went through a child custody battle I wouldn't wish on anyone. The first 2 years we felt very bullied in court. Our lawyers at the time were not successful and ultimately we ended up having to settle. For 2 years I had to make trips to Dallas from Houston and cried many tears, However 2 years ago we walked into Rankin Law Group and it was the "BEST" decision we ever made! Over the last 2 years Carla has become apart of our family.The phrase "It's a marathon not a sprint" is etched into my memory bank for life. Our Marathon ended yesterday with a final! Carla had our girls returned to me 2 years ago and as of yesterday, that Marathon became FINAL! Carla means more to my family then she will ever know. Yes Lawyers are expensive but CARLA RANKIN is worth it! Tuck your tears away, let her go to battle for you! Thank you Carla :) Sincerely Melissa and Tandra

I am honored to write in praise of Justin P. Nichols, Attorney at Law. I conferred with Mr. Nichols on a Saturday, and he was remarkably intelligent, thorough, and kind to me as a stranger grieving his partner. Mr. Nichols was very patient and explained things in detail. As a fine listener, he was always sensitive to the difference between what advice I had been given, what I was saying and what I (sometimes did not know) I needed to consider and do. I am grateful Mr. Nichols also gave me time (on a Saturday no less) to articulate my sense of his advice. He patiently corrected my errors and gave support when I remembered things correctly. More than a resourceful professional and an experienced “idea person,” Mr. Nichols evinced sensitivity to my concerns and issues and their emotional resonance. In short, Mr. Nichols’ sage advice and sensitivity inspired me to try to retain him for a second job. This attorney is very well-versed and very wise. Mr. Justin P. Nichols emanates trustworthiness and integrity and I recommend him to you wholeheartedly.

No tengo palabras de agradecimiento para The Albarado Law Firm por su implicación personal en mi caso familiar. Gracias a su personal por su amabilidad, tiempo, y esfuerzo. Fue un alivio encontrar un abogado bilingüe donde realmente sentí que se preocuparon por mi situación por yo soy del Sur de Texas. Sus atenciones a los detalles me brindaron tranquilidad en una etapa difícil y complicada en mi vida. El abogado Albarado es muy preciso, justo y sumamente hábil para negociar con la otra parte y llegar a un arreglo donde todos estuvieron de acuerdo con los términos sin tener que llevar el caso a los tribunales. Definitivamente recomiendo encarecidamente al Abogado Albarado a toda la comunidad de Denton y sus alrededores que estén en busca de un buen abogado defensor porque el luchara por sus derechos hasta el fin.

We have been in a 5-year custody battle for our grandson and thankfully have had the pleasure of Michele Locke being our attorney for the past 2 of those years. She is very supportive and extremely knowledgeable about family law which was key in our case. Our previous lawyer seemed to fall off the planet, but Ms. Locke took our case and worked diligently over the two years to prepare our case for trial and was flawless during the 2-day trial. Ms. Locke, we simply do not have the words to describe how thankful we are for your consistent guidance and putting up with our questions, and calming our fears. Her paralegal, Juan Diaz, is also amazing to work with. Juan kept us up to date on all matters and when Ms. Locke was busy he would step in and help us whenever he could. We never felt out of the loop or had concerns our needs were not going to be met - this is a dynamic duo if we ever saw one. Thank you to you both and your team.

I consulted with and then hired Michele Locke in September 2020. She is the 4th attorney I have worked with since 2013. I wish I had met her 8 years ago. She is BY FAR THE MOST CAPABLE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE attorney I have interviewed and/or hired. Having been and still presiding as a Judge, Michele brings a unique perspective that most attorneys cannot provide. She is direct, succinct and concise in her delivery in the court room which makes her a force to be reckoned with. And when you hire Michele, you are not hiring JUST Michele...you are also gaining the knowledge and capabilities of her amazing paralegal, Juan Diaz. The two of them make THE MOST PERFECT TEAM! I read so many reviews before I hired Ms. Locke and so many referred to Juan and how integral he is to the process. I had NO IDEA how spot on those reviews were until I hired Michele. I hired Michele to defend me in a VERY high conflict custody modification lawsuit brought against me by my NAPD ex-husband. I needed THE BEST attorney I could find and that is EXACTLY what I received. Trust me, I have talked to and hired many attorneys in Wilco and Travis County. There is no one better than Michele Locke and her Paralegal Juan Diaz. Over the course of 10 months, Ms. Locke has walked with me through mediation, Discovery, a postponed hearing, a partial hearing and a full day hearing. Each time Michele MADE SURE I was COMPLETELY prepared for whatever situation I would be encountering. I could go on and on, however there simply are not adequate words to truly describe my gratitude or adequately endorse Ms. Locke to the degree she deserves. There just aren't. I have known I was in good hands the last 10 months, however what I witnessed in Court yesterday is almost indescribable. You most definitely want to be sitting at the same table as Ms. Locke!!! Because being cross - examined by her is not a pretty picture for the one sitting on the witness stand. My children and I will forever be in her debt.

John, is an incredible attorney and truly a good person. A rare find in my five year experience in and out of family court. He is a great listener, direct with his communication, thoughts on the case, and presents orally in the courtroom and depositions with arguments and thought processes well above the average attorney. He was quick to see the truth in my case, read people very well in my opinion (which is a great asset in the courtroom), and lead my case with morals and character I felt that I not only had excellent representation, but an attorney I could trust that was truly after the best outcome for my children. I cannot thank him enough for the time and effort and dedication he put into representing me. While there are no guaranteed outcomes in a courtroom you can't go wrong having John on your side.

I had a delicate situation when looking for a divorce lawyer as my now ex-wife was labeled terminally ill. Knowing how that appeared, I was upfront with Mrs. Kosub who heard my whole story before agreeing to take me as a client. She understood my position and did her best to represent me. Throughout the entire process, she kept explanations simple and reassured me any time I was worried during the trial. She was very professional and kept a level head, which helped me maintain my cool as well.

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.

How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:

  • Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
  • Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
  • Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.

Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
