I can’t say enough good things about Jake and his team. He is prompt with all responses and he genuinely cares. He explained every step of the way when he helped me through my complex divorce and custody case. I would definitely hire him again!

Jake and I went to law school together, so naturally when I started the divorce process myself, he came to mind. I couldn’t be happier with him and his entire firm. What was supposed to be an easy, uncontested divorce has turned in to an extremely difficult case with many additional filings and negotiations necessary to protect myself and my children. Jake is extremely responsive and has guided me in appropriate decision making which has left me in a much better position than I would have if I had decided to represent myself (don’t do that!). I couldn’t recommend Jake and his firm more highly. Best family lawyer in Austin!

5 stars doesn't do Slav Talavera any justice. I've been embroiled in a bitter and complicated family law case for 4 years to which Slav guided me through the entire process when I hired him 6 months ago when no other attorney could. He was extremely patient, compassionate and fought for me with conviction. I finally get as though someone was fighting for me and in a family law case, that is what you need. He managed my expectations through and through and I could not be happier. He's simply the best.

Jake did a good job representing me on several occasions.

Slav Talavera is an amazing lawyer. He speaks 4 languages and knows his stuff. Slav just won my custody modification case and was able to get me more than I was expecting. This is who you want in your corner!

As a professional Athlete I needed someone that would be on my case. Jake started off really well but towards the end dropped the ball many times. Including forgetting about my case. Moved offices without notifying me twice. As he was switching offices it did seem like he was a bit disorganized. He was not the best at updating or replying to emails and I have many emails which were not replied to. There was paper work that was not properly filed which delayed my case significantly (almost 3 years) I ended up switching Lawyers and had a much better result in 1/10th of the time. I would not hire him again. RE: After two lost child support checks that I took personally hand delivered to Mr. Gilbreath's office at his direction. I started to receive letters from the Attorney general which were promptly forwarded to Mr. Gilbreath and his office, however there was no response to this and other pressing emails regarding possible garnishing until yes, my accounts were garnished. Good thing there is always email proof. This was just my experience. Not to say others will experience the same.

As a former client of Slav Talavera, I can state firsthand how diligent and responsive he was. Slav was able to make a very difficult situation and time in my life as smooth and seamless as possible. He was always willing to answer any questions or concerns I had throughout the process. I would highly recommend him and Walters Gilbreath to anyone looking for the best representation in Texas.

As an attorney in Austin, I have recommended opposing parties to Slav for drafting marital agreements, which I believe is a particularly strong skill of his. Additionally, he is a well prepared and respectful advocate in front of the Judges of Central Texas who serves his clients effectively.

Slav Talavera is hands down the best family law attorney in Austin. I would not recommend anyone else for any family law matter.

Slav Talavera is very professional attorney with big experience in family law. He speaks several languages including Russian and Spanish. I would highly recommend him!
