Great law firm with knowledgeable attorneys. I highly recommend them!

I highly recommend the law firm of Walter's Gilbreath. Carlos Perez was very prompt in making an appointment with me. Mr. Perez gave me very informed answers to my questions. I was able to make a well informed decision on how to proceed with a divorce. Thank you so much.

Luke Wallace is an amazing attorney. His expertise, professionalism, calmness under pressure, and genuine kindness and compassion were invaluable to me when unfortunate circumstances compelled me to seek a custody modification. I needed an attorney who would be prepared to fight for the best possible outcome for my children, and Luke was able to help ensure that they will have a much better chance of thriving now and in the future. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I initially began the process with a different firm. After many months, various factors made it clear that I would need new representation. Calling Walters and Gilbreath for guidance was the best decision that I could have made. I’m on a limited budget but I would have ultimately saved money by just calling them to begin with. You get what you pay for and I’m grateful they were able to work with me to make it manageable.

Logan Kilgore joined our team towards the end of multi-year custody case and brought a refreshing positivity in an otherwise draining situation. Logan swiftly appraised herself of the case and I immediately felt secure not only with her professionalism but more significantly in her level of care. Throughout the case Logan listened to my concerns, stayed focused on the child’s best interests, and used all resources available to accurately convey those concerns during a temporary order hearing and during a week-long jury trial. At trial, I was humbled by Logan’s ability to manage exhibits, coordinate and examine witnesses, and communicate with all involved parties. Further, she was able to accurately recall specific details of the case and then pull factual evidence from the exhibits to directly disprove statements made by witnesses or opposing counsel in a manner that still conveyed empathy to the other parent. Logan’s extensive preparation and emotional intelligence during delivery were instrumental in this case and I consider myself incredibly blessed to have worked with Logan and Walters-Gilbreath, PLLC.

Kurt Metscher represented me during my divorce, and the service he provided was truly exceptional. From the beginning, his expertise and professionalism were evident, and I always felt confident that he had my best interests at heart. Kurt kept me informed with regular, clear communication, making sure I was up to date on every step of the process. He encouraged prompt action on my part when necessary, ensuring that everything stayed on track. My divorce was particularly challenging—messy, contentious, and emotionally draining, requiring us to attend multiple hearings. Despite the frustration of the drawn-out process, Kurt was always thoroughly prepared and patient, never once wavering in his commitment to my case. His empathy, combined with a touch of humor, made a difficult experience easier to handle. Watching him in court was like witnessing a master at work; his skill and command of the situation were nothing short of remarkable. I can honestly say I have no complaints about how Kurt handled my case. If you're looking for a divorce attorney, Kurt Metscher is the one you want in your corner!

They basically filed a lawsuit every month against me until I eventually lost custody of my kids. They have no integrity, well let their clients lie about rape in court to get custody. I’m a good dad but unfortunately law firms like these will pepper you to death with lawsuits until you can no longer afford an attorney, and win. They shouldn’t counsel their clients to lie in court.

First, I’m an attorney myself so I had fairly high expectations for the law firm representing me in my divorce. Walters Gilbreath was recommended to me by other attorneys to be, one of the best, if not the best litigation family law firm in Austin and I can say those attorneys did not steer me wrong. Luke Wallace was the responsible attorney for my case and he was awesome to work with and extremely competent. I think communication is key to an attorney-client relationship and Luke did not disappoint and kept me updated the whole time. Luke is also intelligent, hard working, a good listener, and either knows his stuff or was able to research and find the answer quickly; all attributes necessary to be a great attorney. I was also represented by Jake Gilbreath and he was awesome to watch in court. Overall, very impressed with my representation by Walters Gilbreath and would recommend them to anyone needing representation in the area of family law.

My experience with this firm was not perfect. There were some errors. At the end of the day, though, I walked away with the best possible situation I think the court was going to award me. I was advised ethically and I was billed ethically. I would like to say thank you after some years have passed since my divorce was finalized as I realize how it was handled and any frustrations I may have had are attributable to the system more than to the firm. Thank you for your advice and guidance, for keeping me from going down unnecessary court rabbit holes, and for helping me achieve financial freedom and custody of my child.

Worst experience ever. I thought I was hiring the best. 75k and two years later and zero results I found out I was wrong. I wanted Jake which he spent time to go over the custody case. Seemed to have a plan. He assigned a jr. attorney to handle the ins and out. He does the heavy lifting. That was going good. Until the jr attorney stopped communicating text phone and email. Happened twice. I contacted the office and I guess they had a parting of ways. Got assigned a new jr attorney. Jake cut his rate for the inconvenience. the new attorney was 12 months out of law school. I expressed my concerns. Well we got ran in circles by opposing counsel for over a year. We were never on offense just on defense the entire time. I would ask what can we do and we simply never had a good strategy. Final trial got pushed by opposing. Got reset 3 months later. 3 days before final trial opposing counsel wanted to reset again which I was advised to do. I did not agree and didn’t want to push back. Jake convinced me to reschedule again. But what I found out a week later is Jake’s office never filed the correct paperwork to be on the docket. So they are trying to file 3 days before we go to trial and of course not telling me. I find out from digging into things. They said they did file. I have docs from the court showing they were Trying to file 3 days before and it got denied. So we didn’t really have to reschedule because of opposing counsel. We were never on the docket. That’s why we had to reschedule. Other issues was they actually filed documents with the court on my behalf with the wrong attorney name, wrong dates and in one part of the document they put someone else’s name on it. It was actually filed that way they never showed it to me before they filed it. At the end of the day I had to fire them. I talked the CEO which is Jake’s wife. No one wanted to take responsibility. at the end I got 9k back from them, which I thought was not even close to what it should been based on their incompetence

Jake and the team at Walters Gilbreath has exceeded my expectations in what a client/attorney relationship should look and feel like. Unfortunately I have been through a couple of family law firms who were less than mediocre in how they operated. The two things I feel are most important in an attorney is communication and competence. Jake, Luke, and the rest of the team have done a phenomenal job communicating with me and offering top notch solutions and legal advice. I am always in the loop, and if I am feeling indecisive about something, they have an answer they are confident in. At the same time, they are not afraid to get into the court room if that is what the case requires. They manage their operations like professionals, and the attorneys they employ are the best I have ever worked with.

Thank you to Sydney and Katy!!! These ladies work so hard, which I respect so very much. This law firm is so very blessed to have them. I hope nobody gives them a hard time because there is no reason for it. They are the best. At the risk of paying a higher retainer they deserve a raise.

Kurt Metscher represented me through a rollercoaster of a child custody case, and I'm so grateful to have had him advocate for me and my kids. Kurt was very responsive, and set clear expectations with me throughout my case. Always patient and clear in his answers to my questions. Kurt was consistently kind and empathetic, helping me get through the hard parts of my case. He is calm, cool, but a fierce advocate of his clients. My family is stronger, healthier, happier and on a path to healing as a result of his representation. Our case was fairly complex, even our judge has to pull out the family code book at certain points. Kurt navigated the complexity zealously and I could not recommend Kurt enough for contested child custody matters.
