Mr. Bond and Kayla were so amazing I helping me with my case! I would recommend them to everyone. They answered all my questions in a timely manner. They are very professional, and trusting! I'm very grateful I them on my side!

Mr. Bond handled my case with very favorable results. He is a very trusted attorney who is always available to talk with you.

30 May, 2018 by Jwa

Both of these attorneys have worked for me on drastically two different things, and both times I have been satisfied. My most recent dealings, I hired Trent and I have to say, I have never employed a more fair, a more honest, a more harder working person. I am totally impressed with him as a person. I don’t know him personally, outside that we Crossfit together, but the way he treated me only speaks to his character and his personality. His integrity is unreal. I am trying to find words to express my gratitude but all I can say is I’ve never been treated with more genuine respect. By the way, he’s a dam good attorney. Thank you Trenton!

Audrey changed my whole way of thinking that attorneys don't just care about them selves and how much money they can make....Audrey is one of a kind! I really feel that she saved my life and I will never forget her for what she did for me. Thank You Audrey for Everything You did for me and if you need anything I'll be there for You....;)

Ms. Kelly is an excellent lawyer. She handled my legal matter quickly and with the highest level of professionalism. She kept me informed every step of the way and guided me through my situation as if we had work together many times when in fact this was my first dealings with her. I would highly recommend her for an attorney and if the need ever arose, I would hire her again without any issue.

If you're needing a family attorney to represent you and your needs, I highly recommend Brandon Davis. He is intelligent and perceptive; he actually cares about what you're going thru and has wonderful recommendations based on your individual and family needs. He is well-known and respected by other family lawyers (I know because I've asked). He is a formidable force in the courtroom, with a commanding presence and voice. He gets the job done and I highly (!!!) recommend him.

08 Oct, 2018 by Holly

When my ex blind-sided me with false accusations and a filing to try to get sole custody of my son, I was in shock. Brandon Davis was recommended to me by a family friend and I am ever so grateful. Brandon answered my call himself and got on my case right away with a professional and strategic mindset. He was able to help me set aside my spiked emotions and focus on priority. Brandon is patient, understanding, confident, and well respected by clients and peers. I appreciated his straight to the point professionalism that shot down all those accusations on the first mediation. I am extremely pleased with how my case turned out and I wholeheartedly recommend him.

13 Aug, 2018 by Kerri

I first met Brandon Davis almost 16 years ago. I hired him then, and have since hired him on multiple occasions, He has handled divorce, custody, visitation, paternity, and child support issues for myself as well as family members. I will hire him in the future for any of my legal needs - he is knowledgeable and friendly, yet fierce when needed; he possesses a strong presence in the courtroom that many lawyers do not. His demeanor demands respect and attention, two qualities that are a MUST for my attorney. You absolutely will not regret having Brandon on your team.

Amber always had my best interest in mind especially when I didn’t know what to do. She listened attentively to my case and what I wanted and she went above and beyond to advise me. I’m grateful to her and her staff (Nohemi) for being patient with me and staying the course. The court ruled in favor to all of my requests. Don’t hesitate to give her a call.

27 Jul, 2023 by Anonymous

Amber was highly recommended to me by a close friend who had previously hired her for her case. I had walked into Amber's office getting ready to just throw in the towel after knocking on several attorney's doors and being disappointed. After our consultation, I left her office knowing that she would be the one I would hire to fight for me and most importantly my child. She made sure she spoke to me with facts and did not promise anything that she knew could not be possible. She is definitely not that attorney that is in it for the money, she actually cares about her clients and each and one of their cases. I hired Amber on more than one occasion and each time she fought like a pit pull in court and made sure she did her homework before even walking into that courtroom. I placed my trust on her and her work and I am glad that I did because if it wasn't for her I would still be stuck in the same rut that I was in. Amber gave me the courage I was lacking to fight back and not be intimidated by a bully. I highly recommend Amber to anyone who is looking for an attorney that not only does her homework but treats her clients as humans and not dollar signs. If I ever were to need an attorney again she would be the first one to call without hesitation. Amber was worth every penny because she gave me and my child a peace of mind and a peaceful life and I will forever be greatful.

16 Mar, 2023 by Anonymous

Thank you for a quick and comprehensive process. Ms. Amber was a helpful attorney and quickly handled my paperwork and scheduled court date. Minimal effort on my part was needed. Her secretary Nohemi was very helpful when Ms. Amber was not available. I appreciate all your efforts. Thank you again. Highly recommend.

Mr. Peck represented me for a child custody hearing and did a wonderful job. This is the second time that I’ve had to use Mr. Peck for this unfortunate circumstance. Mr. Peck was professional, aggressive, and fought for what’s right. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I hope that this matter is finished but would use him again in a heartbeat if needed. Thank you for your strong work Mr. Peck and I would strongly recommend you to help anyone in need.

Keyla Robertson was my lawyer from Nov 2019 to Sept 2020. From our first encounter all the way up to our very last encounter, she dug in deep to fight for the reunification of my family. I was told by other lawyers I was fighting a losing battle, but Keyla fought like this was her own family and my case got COMPLETELY DISMISSED.. As approachable as she made herself to my family, at any moment we needed her, was beyond comforting. Not once did we ever feel alone in this scary situation. She even has a client portal to have private conversations or send and receive documents on. What I liked most about Keyla was that she didn't sugar coat anything that could happen in my case. She gave me worst case scenario along with the best case scenarios. I am forever grateful for the peace Keyla has restored in our family. If you can believe it Keyla was actually a court appointed attorney in my case, but she never once made me feel second to any other client she had. Its obvious she is passionate to help each and everyone of her clients equally. If you are searching for a lawyer that will hear everyone of your concerns and take the time to explain EVERYTHING to you, so your case and yourself a favor and go for her.

24 Aug, 2020 by Tia

Keyla is very personable and transparent. One of her greatest qualities is how thorough she is. I’m also highly impressed with how resourceful and determined she can be. Even during a pandemic she has put our little family as a priority which is not only extremely kind, but also brave. She’s professional, efficient, and mostly... trustworthy. 10/10 would highly recommend! Thank you Keyla for helping to make our family whole. Thank you for guiding us, educating us, and protecting us.

19 Aug, 2020 by Agata

When one needs to utilize the services of an attorney, it usually is not a positive scenario. The legal process can be extremely stressful, time-consuming and emotionally draining. Keyla Robertson, however, takes the apprehension out of the picture. From the first consultation, she demonstrates the most sincere and genuine approach when discussing delicate details of the situation. She makes you feel comfortable and safe in divulging private information that is necessary for the case. Her zeal and passion for justice and equity is unwavering throughout the entire process. It is refreshing to work with an attorney who makes you feel more like a partner rather than a stranger just going through a hard time. She gives honest and thorough explanations as events unfold, and she promptly returns messages and phone calls. Keyla's dedication, integrity, diligence, and humor ease the stress and uncertainty of daunting legal matters. I have collaborated with Keyla Marie Martinez Robertson on many cases and have full confidence in her work. I refer my friends and family to her.

Mr. McKenzie has represented me in both family and criminal court. In both cases, Mr. McKenzie was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and available to me when I needed him most. He was the advocate I needed to protect my rights and my family. I'll never forget the judge in my family court case, while on the bench during court, stating that Mr. McKenzie was on of the best in Tarrant county. I couldn't agree more and I'm so thankful I chose him to represent me during those difficult times. I highly recommend Mr. McKenzie.

Mr. Thomas Mckenzie, has been a blessing to have as my lawyer and consultant. He is very patient in getting a full understanding of his client's concerns, expectations and needs. He is directly pro active in all aspects of his clients file. Someone I trust. I am all about my family and I was able to have joint custody of my children. Currently Mr Mckenzie is now consulting & working with me on some financial matters unrelated to my previous case and he is already making a difference.

I highly recommend O'Connell Law for family law issues. I hired her for an issue after my divorce was finalized and the quality of representation was much better than what I received during the divorce process. She explained every step of the process and I never felt lost or like I wasn't sure what was happening or why or where I was in the process. Her communication with me left me feeling confident in both her as an attorney but also confident in my decisions during the process. She gave me MUCH information regarding each possible decision and I was equipped with the knowledge I needed to make the best possible decisions for my family. I know, from personal experience, that not all attorneys take the time to explain all of the information that you need during divorce, modifications and all that goes along with family law issues. She's patient with questions and very responsive. When Jill was not in the office, or otherwise unavailable, her paralegal was quick to respond or communicate information that I needed. She would always communicate my questions to Ms. O'Connell if she wasn't sure of the answer. This was important to me since, many times, at a different legal office, I would receive incorrect information from the paralegal, which would ultimately cost me money. Divorce and modifications are issues that you need need someone walking with you, guiding you through the process, step by step, and that's exactly what you get with this law firm! I've recommended O'Connell Law to friends and will use her again in the future, if needed.

24 Sep, 2017 by Laird

Jill used every law to fight for me. and got me out of a bad situation. Her research is scary good. She finds information that the other people do not want the judge to know.

Pamela Isaacson is an amazing lawyer; I was truly blessed to have her guide me through my divorce. Divorce is overwhelming, stressful, and frightening. This becomes even more so if your divorce involves lawyers. You will want a lawyer that can help alleviate those concerns and worries. I found that with Pamela, she told me what I needed to hear while still defending me. I truly felt my divorce was the only case that Pamela had. She treated me like her only client. She was with me every step of the way and treated with me respect. She listened to me, guided me, and held my hand every step of the way. The most important aspect is Pamela has an incredible ethical standard. She will fight relentlessly for you, making sure the process is held to the highest standards. She is not afraid to take on anyone and is well respected. She always has your best interests at heart! Simply put if you must hire a lawyer for your divorce, I highly recommend Pamela Isaacson. She will fight for you and your interests.

I would highly recommend Ms, Isaacson to anyone seeking legal representation in a family matter. She is honest, fair and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. Also, tenacious when the need arises, but very thoughtful and compassionate. I am a very happy grandma!

I have worked with many attorneys in my career. David Kazen is a phenomenal attorney and very well versed in his career. He sees his clients a human beings and not as dollar signs like the majority of family lawyers out there. He knows the law and quotes case law when he drafts up a motion. David is the type of lawyer I want protecting me and my family. His paralegal, Mary is an amazing woman and well educated in family law. I couldn’t have hired a better attorney in the Austin area. David did the job he was hired to do and he even refunded me some of my retainer fee, which is very unheard of in family law. He is a top notch and ethical attorney. I highly recommend him!

I was in a car accident 2 1/2 years ago, and my James Bell has been wonderful. I can tell that they are working hard on my case, and I would highly recommend James Bell.

James bell is the best. Dealing with insurance companies can be nerve-racking. When you are coping with an injury on top of all it can become overwhelming. I contacted James Bell and they took care of everything. I would not have kept my sanity without James kept me up to date and eased my anxiety. I hope I am never in this situation again but if I am, I know James is just a phone call away.

James Bell has handled a few different things for me. In every instance he was well-informed, prepared, but above all else, he really cared about me as a person and the outcome of my case. He is not expensive. I shopped around. I am very happy with his expertise.

Kamal Law Firm - what’s a resilient group of Attorneys - especially Farah Kamal, who worked tirelessly and met my every question with an answer and never left me hanging. I will be saving her contact information to refer to all my friends as well as for any future needs. 10/10 Would recommend

09 May, 2020 by Linah

Update! Ms. Kamal was the answer to my prayers! She's the best family law attorney I have had in 13 years. I wish I had hired her earlier. She knows the law and legal technicalities and embarrasses the counsel by just quoting the actual law and rules. She is highly knowledgeable and compassionate. Her attention to detail and ability to control the situation set her apart from others. She was blunt and honest about my situation. Though that was not what I wanted to hear, she didn't give me any false hope. She represented me on two enforcement cases and oh boy! She got both lawsuits dismissed on the basis of legal technicalities. She lifted such a huge weight off my shoulders. She and her team was very persistent and strategic to helping me get the best possible outcome in my situation. Ms. Kamal and her hardworking team do so much at the backend when preparing for a hearing, leaving you at ease. During a very difficult time - it felt good to know this team was working on my behalf and did their utmost to make the outcome in my favor. I can't recommend her enough! Farah is very informative. She cleared up a lot of my confusions and answered all my questions and concerns in great details during our consultation. She was very understanding and helpful. I wish I had known about her when I was going through divorce 10 years ago. I will definitely be retaining her services when the time comes.

I was recommended by the EAP (Employee Assistance Program) for Federal Employees. I had a very complicated situation for my divorce due to my spouse being a non-citizen and in another country. Her vast knowledge has been very sharp and made sure I got the best in the end of the mediation. Not only did she work hard to make sure every dollar count, she fought for me during my struggles of the Government Shutdown. When I was tight financially, she was willing to work out a payment plan. She made sure that I understood the process and the rights of both parties and the custody. Although she is straight forward and to the point, she is one of the most compassionate lawyers I have ever worked with. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help in Family law and Immigration. I have consulted with other law firms prior to her and she has left me a beautiful impression of what a true lawyer should be. Willing to fight for the client and for what is right! Thank you Farah! You are a marvelous person!

If you need a good lawyer, I can't recommend Jason highly enough. Extremely responsive and knowledgeable in the law, there is nobody I would trust more with my legal needs in regards to general civil litigation, business, contracts, family law, and estate planning (and beyond). His counsel even outside of these areas has been invaluable and his recommendations when I've needed legal help in other states or other areas of the law have always been top notch.

I first hired Mr. Rowe in 2015 for a business incorporation and the drafting of some business agreements for our medical group. I have been extremely happy with his services, and have continued to use him ever since. On one recent very serious matter, we hired Mr. Rowe to defend us in some very contentious litigation. He continually kept us informed as to the status of our case and stayed in contact with us throughout the matter, always available to take calls at the office and quickly responding to any emails. With Mr. Rowe's guidance on our case, not only were we able to resolve it in our favor, but we turned the tide on the opposing party and they ended up having to pay back our attorney fees for the case. It was truly a pleasure working with Mr. Rowe. I continue to use him for other business needs with our office, and he even helped my family by drafting wills for us. I have no hesitations in recommending Mr. Rowe to friends and family, and have been incredibly grateful for his services.

Jason does not "phone it in." He gives 110% for every client. I had a tiny court case that I was nervous about. Jason went to court with me (the evening of his birthday!) and put my fears at ease. He is incredibly reliable and easy to work with.

I hired James on a Dwi case and could not be more grateful for the outcome he was able to produce. It was not easy and I had to be patient but he was able to reduce my felony to a misdemeanor. If you ever find yourself needing legal representation I highly recommend James. An attorney that cares about his work as much as he cares about his clients.

19 May, 2017 by Jonathon

Mr. McDermott was a pleasure to work with and he got my case dismissed without me having to go to court. He was extremely helpful, a great listener, attentive, and you can tell he really cares. He kept me updated throughout the process and answered all of my questions. I fully recommend him and he will be my first call if I ever need legal support again.

09 May, 2017 by Anonymous

James did an excellent job representing me during a difficult time in my life. I was charged with two DWI's within seven months of each other and James was able to have the second DWI dismissed after I completed one year of probation. I would highly recommend him for any legal problems you may have.

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.

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.
