Travis Granger If you want someone to truly represent you and fight for you, DON’T CHOOSE TRAVIS. Travis is a nice man and does a fine job fighting for you as long as there is no opposition. My ex-wife completely dominated the court process, using her knowledge of the judicial system, and how to manipulate it for her benefit and invoked delay after delay. Travis did nothing to counter. Proceeding started in Nov-2022, with a divorce decree granted to me by Judge Joe Pool on January 8, 2024. However, my ex-wife’s attorney filed for a new trial in March-2024. Travis was totally unprepared. I believed he thought that my ex-wife would be a no-show, just like on January 8th, when she was a no-show. When she showed up with her attorney, he was caught flat footed and failed to present my case properly to the judge, and the Judge Pool granted a new trial. New mediation was set for June 17, 2024. The first thing Travis told me at mediation was that I may need to get a new attorney because his firm, Brandon Bledsoe, was being bought by another firm, Smith Family Law, and they would not be dealing with Hayes County. It went downhill from there. Travis had no motivation or desire to really represent me or fight for me, and in my opinion, he threw me under the bus just to get rid of me and be done with it. I was an embarrassment to him after he failed to present my case properly to Judge Pool, and the judge granted a new trial to my ex-wife. There was no middle ground in the mediation and I kept telling Travis to just set a trial date. They did not listen to me and continued for another eight hours. After eight hours, even though I kept telling him to just set a trial date, I was tired and wore down, and they told me to just sign this agreement and then I would never have to deal with her again. It was a bad, bad settlement, completely lopsided and unfair, but Travis wanted to wash his hands and be done with me. He didn’t care as long as I was gone. If you are looking for an attorney who truly cares about your case and is truly willing to fight for you, I would NOT RECOMMEND TRAVIS GRANGER, even though he is now at his new law firm, Smith Family Law.

Smith Family Law is so lucky to have Nikki Chapa. I've known Nikki most of my life and she is truly the most honest, loyal, reliable, and trustworthy person you could hope to call a friend. Nikki for years and years has proven herself to be an incredible friend, oftentimes showing just how much she knows me better than I know myself. Nikki cares immensely for the people she loves. To love someone, is to truly know them, and Nikki's care for people shows in how effortlessly she holds onto the important (and not so important) things people share with her. Nikki will fight nit a grit for you and still have room for softness. I'm lucky to know her, and any client would be lucky to have her alongside them. She fights for her clients like she would family. Nikki has always had a way with words, justice, and fighting for what she believes in. She does this because she loves to and has a natural born talent with her words and craft, pairing with a fierce understanding of the law. You won't regret giving Nikki a chance to fight on your side.

Completely happy with the work of lawyer Melissa Granger, as a father it is not easy to win custody of a child. In the process I understood that there is a universal thought, "children should stay with their mother" due to the concept and reputation of mothers. Despite this, Melissa prepared and performed very well, ensuring that I obtained custody of my son. Thank you, it was an excellent result. Totalmente feliz con el trabajo de la abogada Melissa Granger, como padre no es fácil ganar la custodia de un hijo, en el proceso entendí que existe un pensamiento universal, “los hijos deben quedarse con su madre” debido al concepto y reputación de las madres, A pesar de esto la abogada se preparó y desempeñó muy bien, asegurando que obtuviéramos la custodia de mi hijo. Gracias, fue un excelente resultado.

Going through the most scariest time of my life and not having any knowledge on how to fight for the custody of my son, I was introduced to Melissa Granger. Melissa and her team have gone above and beyond to fight for my rights. They went through a non stop battle to have the truth be shown and my son safe under my custody. I’ve talked to other law firms and neither of them were able to help me and be as dedicated as this one. Melissa and her team not only worked with me as just their client but I was able to see how much they cared for us. Being a young single mom with no direction and terrified of losing my baby, Melissa guided me throughout the entire process and provided so much support while going through my roller coaster of emotions. Melissa and her team fought hard and won every hearing and request made. Our biggest win was our final hearing. We were granted everything requested and I couldn’t thank them enough for all their hard work and dedication. I’ve recommended a few people already and they have also won their cases. God forbid I have to go to court again but I would definitely come back without hesitation! Thank you again Melissa!

Attorney Chapa and her team are amazing! Professional, knowledgeable and considerate to their clients needs and concerns - I couldn’t recommend a better skilled team!

Diego answered all of my questions about prenup so now I feel prepared to go into my upcoming marriage with all the information I need

I appreciate how Diego was able to anticipate and answer my questions regarding my situation. I would highly recommend him!

I placed a call to this firm was so taken with how kind and compassionate Ashley and Austin were to me. They were truly an answer to a prayer. I would highly recommend this amazing group. They restored my hope in family law.

I cannot recommend Christian at The Smith Family Law Firm strongly enough. This past winter, I went through a very messy and convoluted divorce. This law firm knows and practices the law thoroughly and precisely. They stuck to the facts and separated from the emotion of it all. They are extremely professional. The guidance through a very messy experience was unparalleled. She is a top-notch lawyer, and makes you feel like you have the very best in your corner.
