Jami Turner is an excellent attorney! My ex-wife and her lawyer were playing dirty, but Jami handled them with impressive aplomb. Jami was always professional, yet impressively tough when necessary. She was highly intelligent, and she applied her knowledge of divorce law with great precision and efficacy. She was an outstanding advisor with great insight on how to handle a toxic ex in a contentious setting. Her availability and affability were second to none. With patience, prayer, and Jami Turner, we ended our case with a highly satisfying result. Thank you Jami!

Jami is an exceptional lawyer! She is an experienced negotiator and is always professional. She is very sympathetic to the needs of her client and she knows the law. I had a complex divorce case involving a disabled child. Jami was able to help me with all of the intricate issues involved in the divorce and made a very painful process more bearable. I am very pleased with her representation and have recommended her services to others.

I interviewed numerous attorneys before I selected Jami. Most of the other attorneys informed me that "men dont win in Travis County - you're going to lose this case." Jami was honest and told me that she would fight for me, but that there were no guarantees. We went to Court and Won!!!! She was diligent in her approach to the case, efficient and effective in the courtroom, and a true delight to work with. Her approach was to "do whats right for the kids" and we Won! I would recommend Jami to both men as well as women...she's a terrific human being on top of being an exceptional attorney.

I have been in and out of court with my son's father for the last six years. I had a very unfortunate event with my other infant child (my son's little sister) having a severe chromosomal deficiency which kept her in Texas Children's Hospital in Houston until she passed at 6 months. During that very emotionally weak time my son's father saw an opportunity to take me back to court with a fictitious and fabricated evidence. I was served with papers of the hearing at the Roland McDonald House while my daughter was in the hospital and we had the court hearing one month after my sweet daughter passed. I was literally still in shock and standing in court without any representation. Without the ability to present my case I was unable to provide documentation to disprove the father's false accusations. I had been the primary parent all of my son's life and then in that unprepared moment it was changed over to his father. So, one month after I lost my daughter in the hospital, I lost custody of my son in court. This created a huge emotional distress on my son's life as he went from only being in preschool two days a week to losing his sister, changing his primary residence to his father, and being placed in full-time daycare for the first time in his life. I consulted with many lawyers and finally put my complete faith in James "Jake" Gilbreath's Law Firm. He lined up the appropriate experts and reviewed my case that James "Jim" Piper who agreed to serve as co-counsel. These two attorneys worked seamlessly on my case and started preparing litigation to discredit the prior ruling. Jim Piper is straightforward and does not ’babysit’ you. During meetings you have to listen to him carefully and answer his questions precisely. He assists you in all preparation but you have to follow his instruction, be responsible, and most important truthful. As an attorney, he is exceptionally attentive to details and diligent in preparation. He took my case seriously. I have had many experiences where I would have to remind past lawyers of the details with my case. Mr. Piper ALWAYS recalled every detailed event of my case and would advise what appropriate steps would be taken next. If you are looking for a very well-respected experienced attorney, then look no further! Jim Piper is the most intelligent, seasoned attorney you could ask for. He has compassion and fights for justice to be heard. Mr. Piper's office organized all the investigated fictitious discovery documents for a trial with jury. Jim Piper produced solid evidence to the jury and court which left only the RIGHT decision to be made. My son was placed back in my primary care. I've never felt more empowered with the truth and so proud to have lawyers that could change the wrong back to right. I am forever grateful to Mr. Piper.

Jim is an exceptional attorney with his client's upmost interest at heart. From the beginning, through the time he brought my case to closure, Jim displayed such care and attention to detail. He will shephard you through a very difficult and emotional process with nothing but grace, compassion and competence. His character is remarkable and you will be in excellent hands, even at ease, with Jim by your side. He has great command of the law and how it will apply to your situation plus the ability to be empathetic and firm at the same time. His integrity and trustworthiness will not only make you feel comfortable, but create a true sense of respect for his judgement and expertise. He will explain all your complex legal issues in a clear and concise manner with prompt follow-up and an attention to detail that is unsurpassed. Jim is the type of person you will never forget. I will always be forever grateful for all he has done.

Jim Piper is an outstanding attorney. He helped with my divorce and subsequent custody arrangements, and was vital during my trial to modify/terminate custody due to my childrens’ father’s recent involvement with drugs. He was quick to reply and calmed my nerves throughout the hearing. He is as sharp as a tack with an excellent attention to detail. He was quick to point out every discrepancy in the other party’s testimonies, and knew exactly what needed to be done. He had the entire hearing under control and I never once felt uneasy about it. Jim is a fantastic trial lawyer who I would recommend to anyone in a custody battle.

If you are looking for a great Attorney who will fight for you and is not full of B.S., Remington is the guy for you! He has great values and is hardworking, compassionate, and genius in his legal prowess and strategies. Also, we share the same first name, so I'm honored to share it with someone who does right by consumers and fights for the common folk.

I want to thank Attorney Remington for successfully representing me in a recent citation case. I was worried when I received the citation, but Remington put me at ease from our first meeting. He took the time to understand the details of my situation and was very reassuring that he would do everything he could to help. Remington aggressive advocated on my behalf. He filed several strong reasoning that convincingly argued my side. I could tell he had carefully reviewed all the evidence and laws around my case. In the end, Remington obtained the full dismissal that he had promised. I'm so grateful that thanks to his efforts, I was cleared of all charges and can put this stressful situation behind me. His knowledge of the legal system and commitment to his clients is very apparent. Remington truly fought for the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a dedicated, hard-working lawyer they can trust. His professionalism and ability to deliver made this process much less worrying. I feel lucky to have had such a competent attorney in my corner. Remington genuinely cares about his clients' well-being, and I am sincerely thankful for all he did for me.

One word to describe Remington is.....AMAZING! My husband and I hired Attorney Remington Alessi. He isn't like most Attorney's. From the first day we spoke to him about our case to the very end. He was extremely professional, attentive, very knowledgeable and honest. He knows his stuff! He isn't arrogant, but confident! It's a reason he is named "Texas Chainsaw Lawyer" lol. I love the fact that he isn't pushy. He doesn't make you feel like you are getting on his nerves, and he always had an ear to listen. He truly makes you feel like you matter! Anytime we needed to call him, he didn't make us feel like he was so busy and rushing us off the phone. He wasn't like the saying " Money is time". He listens and is compassionate and caring. Allowing you to ask any question that you need. Also, compared to most Attorney's he is very affordable. And to sum things up, he WON my case, it was dismissed. And this wasn't an easy case to win. So look no further. Go ahead and book him. You are in good hands! I pray I don't ever have to use him again. But if I do It will definitely be him!

I was nervous about hiring an attorney for my divorce. From the very first meeting to discuss my situation, I felt comfortable and knew I could trust him to handle my divorce. He responds to emails and calls quickly; he also replied to my emails on the weekend. You're never left wondering what's happening with your case. I definitely recommend him.

Gregg Lundberg represented me during my divorce and he and his staff were nothing short of amazing. They were communicative and receptive to my concerns. Gregg always kept me updated as to what was happening. Although it was a long and tedious process I never felt left in the dark. During trial he was well prepared and extremely knowledgable. I was very impressed with him and his staff from start to finish. I recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.

Greggory Lundberg is the best attorney around...hands down!!! He will fight for you and slays in court. I was very impressed, as I hired Mr. Lundberg after I was taken back to court to modify child custody...less than a month after my divorce being finalized. He went over an beyond to fight my case and presented all the evidence in a well experienced and and thought out way. This man is a genius and is passionate about what he does. The lord blessed me when I decided to go with him. I cannot recommend him enough!!! Five Star attorney!!!!

I had retained the services of another attorney for my divorce case and had serious concerns about the way it was going. I terminated that agreement and hired Ms. Klein. Immediately, the case turned around and I saw the strategy of a winner. If Klein is on the case, make sure she's on your side.

Mr. von Hoffmann handled a difficult divorce for me. There were several complex issues involved and since I wanted custody of my children (I am the father) I knew it would be an uphill battle. Mr. von Hoffmann was able to not only get the results that I wanted, but he exceeded my expectations and secured for me several concessions that I did not believe I could get. He made sure that my children's interests were considered first and foremost, and helped me through the entire difficult process. He was always available with advice, and with understanding during a difficult time. I highly recommend Mr. von Hoffmann; I had a choice of attorney's in the area, and I believe that I chose the absolute best.

10 Feb, 2017 by Tracy

Attorney Von Hoffmann provided great service. He returned my call quickly, and gave me sound legal advice regarding a general contractor who was in breach of contract. I highly recommend Attorney Von Hoffmann for your real estate needs.

23 Jul, 2016 by Emily & dwight

This lawyer helped with an adoption that I had started to do pro se, I was having a difficult time with the situation as per judges orders the staff attorneys would not advise me on the policies and or procedures. He took over my case and we were able to get the whole situation straight. He is very smart and pays meticulous attention to the details of the case. I would most definitely recommend Mr von Hoffman to anyone that needs an attorney and would definitely hire him for future legal cases.

Attorney Cheek handled my divorce with a very difficult now ex husband to deal with. I have continued to have problems with him and she is going above and beyond the norm with helping me. When she needs advice herself, she doesn't hesitate to consult with other attorneys. I value that in someone who is working for me.

12 Oct, 2017 by Lisa

After experiencing a nasty break up, Attorney Cheek walked me through the process of getting a divorce. She was very patient with me and explained everything to me so that we could both make the right decisions to get divorced without too much drama. Her knowledge and expertise were second to none. I recommend Attorney Cheek to anyone who wants an understanding attorney who knows how to get the job done.

On top of that my custody case with my children turned out well as well. Ms. Diaz is an awesome attorney with a good heart as well as caring.

I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone with these qualities and to anyone who wants the best representation out there hands down.

Debra took over mid case for me during a very contested divorce/ custody case. She was the first lawyer out of half a dozen I'd spoken with that mentioned doing what's in the best interest of my kids, not merely winning a court case. She frequently reminded me to keep that in mind, to rise above and set a positive example for my children. I did get custody of my children though, but it was never about the money for her but rather what's best for them. I never believed this case could be settled in mediation, however Debra insisted on trying to avoid the high costs of a final hearing by trying to get my ex to settle. Using her years of experience, expertise, and literal award winning mediation experience, Debra was able to close the deal and my ex settled in mediation. As a father, it's difficult to get custody of your children. Debra was instrumental in helping me. She works in the best interest of the children first and foremost which is very important to me. They say nobody wins in a divorce, but Debra ensured that my children won and that's the most important thing to me! I am so happy to have my children safe and secure at home with me!

Jana is awesome at what she does, knowledgeable, professional and savvy. I was at a standstill with my divorce and I was ready to represent myself Lolol. I really was; no one would take my case. Within a few months I was able to sign the divorce papers and start the healing process. Jana was kind and empathetic. I really appreciate your help in resolving my case Jana. Thank you.

I have had 3 lawyers,Jana was by the best. She was always told me the game plan, explained everything thoroughly and was always prompt to answer emails. She was the only attorney to ask how I was holding up; she realized I was a person not just another case. I can't thank Mrs. Wheeler enough for what she did for me.

Jana was available on the weekend to answer some very important questions about child custody and child support. She was very knowledgeable about the laws in Texas regarding child custody and child support. She was very professional and very considerate and showed sensitivity in such a difficult time for me. THANK YOU, JANA!

Edward Gray is an excellent Lawyer. Edward fought extensively behind the scenes to win my case. He kept me updated regularly by email. Edward was always available, to answer questions, by text or by phone. Prompt responses, within minutes. He is extremely impressive intelligence, with integrity. He was very thorough and honest about what I was facing and I always felt like he went the extra mile. Edward is very knowledgeable in his field and knew what direction to take to get the best results. His attention to detail and cutting to the chase was quite impressive. Edward did not waste anytime.. I am over joyed after an intensive 3 years we won. 2 cases they worked on both were very successful results. I would high recommend Edward Gray & Fulton Broemer... I will not hesitate contracting Edward & Fulton.. They truly are worth the money....I cant praise Edward enough..

This was the most difficult experience of my life but Judith Bryant and her team made me feel empowered throughout the divorce proceedings and helped me to understand the new bright future that lied ahead. I was surprised with divorce papers by my wife of 12 years. I was totally caught off guard, scared and unsure of where to go and what I should do. A committed father of two, kicked out of my home, unsure of myself and the future that lied ahead I was luckily referred to Ms. Bryant and several other well known attorneys by a prominent family in Austin. From my initial meeting with Judith I could tell that she was different. Unlike some of the other well know Divorce Attorney’s in town Judith wanted to speak to me directly and scheduled my initial appoint within hours of my first call. From that meeting and throughout the divorce process Judith always made me feel like I was her only client. This was not a divorce case with millions of dollars in funds or assets but that didn’t make a difference to Ms. Bryant. Judith was always one step ahead of my wife’s attorneys. That is probably why my wife had to have 3 attorneys in a 5 month timeframe. She was tough when she needed to be and often worked to manage my wife and her attorneys to keep me calm and help me through the process. Judith is well educated and speaks from experience allowing her to push for your best interest while setting appropriate expectations. She will pull you out of the drama and noise by helping you understand what is important. She is an ethical person who keeps your financials in-mind throughout the case helping you understand the cost vs. value within your divorce and strategy. Judith Bryant will be a friend that stands by your side, a coach when you need one and a tough lawyer when she has to be or needs to be. Divorce is not easy and it's tough no matter what the situation. There is no winning, however, I received the custody I wanted and the portion of the estate I deserved thanks to the amazing work of Judith Bryant and her team.

If you are reading this review you have possibly found yourself distressed over many complex issues and should consult an attorney. In the meantime I write this to bring calm, relief and to ensure you there is light. I found myself in days past that were very dark and I interviewed numerous attorneys searching for a glimmer while contemplating a multi-decade marriage on the fast track to divorce. From A to Z I searched, even the firms that boast of protecting men's rights, and others that offer ridiculously low cost while they file paperwork and leave it up to oneself to build, advocate or even defend their own case, but after meeting Judith I knew she was the attorney that could reclaim my life and shine light back on my future. From day one, Judith was able to put my chaotic situation into clear perspective and drew up an aggressive plan, in an easy to understand format, while assuring me I would one day wake from this dark nightmare. Initially and very confused, I imagined a standard or routine divorce where two people fell out of love, split what they acquired together and went their separate ways peacefully. Is there such a thing? I still can't answer that and not quite sure I want to test a second go of it. I have to say my divorce was special, or again, maybe routine. To describe it, my divorce was ugly, lengthy, complicated and bitterly contested at every stage. Judith took immediate understanding, remained steadfast throughout the process, was able to navigate the muddy waters, circumvent foreseeable conflicts, articulate solutions, while remaining professional, diligent and conscientious to me, seemingly but not, her sole client. Judith maintained an open calming dialog, solicited my concerns and worked hard to gain the desired results for me and my children. Judith is a proven and successful litigator which brought comfort in my decision not to skimp or hire the paper pushers that claimed to practice family law only to look confused over courtroom decorum, or needed directions to the courthouse if an agreement could not be made through mediation or over attorney teleconference. Judith has all the qualities one should look for in a legal representative especially when dealing with sensitive family law issues that if not properly represented can have long term and adverse effects on multiple futures. Others have asked and I always answer. Don't assume everything will be cordial, hope for the best, plan for the worst, don't skimp on your future. Judith was the Best money I ever spent and worth more than I paid. #Newlife

Judith is an outstanding lawyer. She worked diligently to help me through my divorce. Her expert knowledge was an incredible asset. My divorce was not an easy one by any means, and she won me a victory in a very long, complicated, drawn out legal battle. Through the process, I always felt as though I was her top priority. She is quick, efficient, honest and a fighter. I have recommended her to friends and coworkers and they have been very happy with her as well. I could not be more pleased with her services. --

Lindley Bain was unfailingly calm and reassuring during a very contentious divorce. I appreciate her expertise and patience in handling the financial aspects of my case. She was always in my corner, always professional, always a good listener. More than that, her professional manner gave me confidence in a difficult time.

29 Oct, 2013 by Richard

My divorce was not a pleasant, amicable split. I was faced with the possibility of having my three young children relocated halfway across the state. The time and effort that I spent during the two year process took a huge toll on me physically, emotionally, and professionally. It was absolutely the toughest challenge I have faced in my life. Thankfully, I was referred to Lindley Bain. Her upfront, honest, no nonsense approach to my case helped me cope with the changes that we're occurring in my life. Her knowledge and presence, in and out of the courtroom, are impeccable! Every meeting that we had together was pertinent and reaffirmed my belief that I had the best representation possible. Through every step, hurdle, setback and victory, I knew Ms. Bain was by my side. My case ended up going to trial and Ms. Bain was ready. She navigated my case through the trial phase with precision. Not only do my children still live in DFW, but I see them 5-7 times weekly. I am able to be an active, loving father because of the dedication and hard work of Lindley Bain. Retaining Ms. Bain was one of the best choices I have made...period.

While afflicted with severe PDSD and clinical depression, my wife decided to implement her plan , of 3+ years, to rid herself of me (assets were hidden, etc.). At that time, I was unable to do anything but weep, as this was coinsident with the death of my best friend. Ms. Bain, fought for me as only a caring, sympathic, knowledgeable professional could. Ms. Bain sought my best interest in every way, putting her ego aside. Ms. Bain, is 100% client centered and trustworthy in every way. Thanks to Ms.Bain's professional guidance and suggestions I now reside in the Pintler Wilderness of Montana creating and selling my art ... completely recovered.

Melissa was wonderful to work with! She helped me through a particularly scary divorce and ensured that our decree included numerous measures to keep my son and I safe from my now ex-husband. She has helped me with many issues, big and small, since the divorce regarding co-parenting. I also really appreciated her help with wording and other things involving communication with my ex-husband.

25 Aug, 2013 by Bryan

Words can not describe what having Melissa in my corner meant to me. I was a wreck after being surprised one evening by someone at my door serving me a petition to modify the custody arrangement my ex and I agreed to just a year prior. As a single father fighting to keep primary custody of my two children I knew the odds were stacked against me. But after doing a lot of research and a couple of interviews with other attorneys I found myself meeting with Melissa and I hired her immediately. I left that meeting KNOWING everything was going to be ok, and I was right. Every phone call was answered immediately, every e-mail was promptly replied to, and if I needed some face time I got it. She is the one you want in your corner. If you find yourself looking across the courtroom and she's on the other side, be nervous...very nervous.

Ms. Cook was a godsend to my case. She inspired confidence that I needed to make it through one of the most terrifying times in my life. She provided creative solutions that have helped me become a better parent in addition to sound, realistic family legal advise. She put my children first and worked tirelessly on my case to ensure the best possible outcome.

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.
