John Kappel represented me in a very unique settlement. My divorce was finalized 31 years ago. I was represented, at the time, by an attorney who has since retired. As my former spouse started to retire, it was discovered that the QDRO was missing specific wording and needed to be amended. At the last minute, my former spouse tried to change the total agreement - drastically affecting my settlement. Once John took over my case, He became my advocate. He broke everything down and presented options to me in a clear concise manner, keeping me informed every step of the way. After he spoke to opposing counsel, they stopped trying to change the already approved settlement. John took what had been a very stressful and emotionally draining situation and handled everything in his calm and professional manner. I agree with the previous review - John is a master strategist – he confronted opposing counsel with the facts…and they backed down. I would recommend John to anyone who wants to have their case handled without drama, but with skill and professionalism.

John did a great job handling my divorce. My spouse was extremely difficult to work with but Once we got to mediation John was able to have my divorce decree drafted and signed by all parties in the same day not only that but two days later we were in front of the judge getting my divorce finalized. I never thought I’d be divorced in 2017 let alone before Christmas. John exceeded all my expectations and I would 100% recommend him to anyone.

I was referred to John by one of his fellow office mates. I sincerely have no regrets. As a professional myself, I have high expectations of other professionals. John has delivered. His ability to communicate to a non-expert is flawless. Previously, I may have been intimidated by legal jargon. John removed that anxiety with his calm, collected and down-to-earth demeanor. Yet, he maintained the upmost professionalism all the while. Me for, this was a true golden touch. I really appreciate all you've done for me in my very trying times of litigation. I salute you! I'm confident you will have a long, prosperous and successful career

I was so lucky to come into contact with John Kappel. John has been such an amazing attorney. First of all, he accommodated my husband and I in an urgent manner to handle personal will and family estate planning documentation. John is always prompt and on top of things. After I lost my husband, John helped me through the probate process. I couldn't have made it without John.,. He is truly a compassionate attorney.

Im very happy with John, his services, strategy's, and legal consul.
John handled my case better than I could have ever expected.
I will recommend him to anyone seeking consul. John never inflated my expectations in the divorce process, he is honest and upfront with every possibility through every step of the process.
I could tell from our initial meeting he is very smart and well educated in the law. But he was holding out on me, as the case proceeded John showed me what a Master Strategist he is.
John is very professional, and beats down attorneys who try to play dirty with the law. I would hire him again in a heart beat. John took the time to address every question and fear throughout the entire case. And at the end of the day he made me feel more like we were friends than just attorney/ client.
All in all, due to John, the outcome of my divorce could not have been dreamed up better. I trust this man with my financial life and security. Had i hired someone else, I would surly be in turmoil & ruins.
I can never thank you enough John!

John Kappel is an amazing lawyer! When you have to go to court for anything concerning your children and their well being it is imperative that you are in the hands of an attorney that is really compassionate, attentive, and truly cares about you and your family.
John made me feel comfortable and confident from day one. He takes the time to explain what everything means and the what the best process would be. He also is very quick to respond. I never had to wait more than a day to hear back from him.
The payment arrangements are more than reasonable, and when I have been in a pinch they have been extremely understanding and willing to work with me. They truly care about your families well being!
I can absolutely say I couldn't have been happier with John and the outcome of my case. I will definitely be keeping his number for the future.

Mr. Kappel was very helpful. He made sure we got exactly what we were asking. Very attentive, since we live in San Angelo made it super easy to always be available via email or phone. I would recommend this firm to anyone.

John Koppel is an outstanding attorney. He is extremely gifted in the art of law and he is equally as savvy in the art of building relationships with his clients. Since the moment I met John, I instantly felt that he would take excellent care of me throughout my divorce process. Considering the unbearable nature of divorce, John has a way of breaking down the legal jargon into clear concise and relatable language, thus dissolving the usual tension.
If you are comparing family law attorneys in the DFW area, John is absolutely a top contender. I am eternally grateful to him for his expert care, expedience, and efficiency.

I had the pleasure of consulting with Mr. Kappel regarding a family law case that was quickly becoming more complicated than it needed to be. I unfortunately needed a second opinion regarding questionable advice that I was getting from my own attorney. Frantic and ready to fire my attorney, I contacted Mr. Kappel's firm and was immediately transferred. He took the time to listen to my concerns and answer questions that should have already been clarified by my attorney. He expressed an interest and willingness to take over my case if necessary, even after admitting the complexities that would be attached to it. More importantly, he empathized with my concerns that didn't exactly have anything to do with the law. He is a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney. I hope to resolve my case without further drama but if that isn't possible I will absolutely not hesitate to hire Mr. Kappel.

The first thing that impressed us about Mr. Kappel was that he listened intently, respectfully and patiently. He had an uncanny ability to take our complex case and lay it out clearly and succinctly. At each decision point, he would present our options giving us the pros and cons of each along with his recommendation. He was diligent in acting on our behalf. I don't know how we could have had a better advocate.
