Walter is an OUTSTANDING attorney! After spending six figures with another firm without achieving my most important custody or estate goals, I hired Walter as my appellate attorney, and he delivered a significantly better outcome. He is responsive, level-headed, and genuinely cares for his clients.His exceptional knowledge of case law and expertise in navigating the nuances of the family court system truly set him apart. Genuinely, my child and I have a much brighter future thanks to Walter. Highly, highly recommended!

Serena Hudson made what could have been a very stressful process as simple and clear as she possibly could. She took the time to make sure we understood all of our options fully and was available for questions/chats when needed. We were more than satisfied with the outcome of our proceedings and will be forever grateful!

Serena Hudson is bar none the best and the brightest. This is one of many reasons why I have gone back to her multiple times for council, strategic approach and case handling regardless of which law firm she resides. Serena always goes above and beyond to map out the best solution forward, relentlessly pursuing what is best for me and not just looking to get paid. Often times these situations are difficult to navigate, and they have been. With Serena's knowledge, experience and grit I am beyond thrilled at the outcome of my cases. All my questions are answered and concerns are alleviated. Her creativity and knowledge allowed for me to see and achieve outcomes that I was not even aware were possible. I would recommend Serena to anyone who is looking to get clarity and be in the best position for success. Take this from me, if you are looking for light in the darkness you want Serena in your corner.

This firm is a powerhouse! The talent here doesn't only include the attorney's, but also the paralegals, legal assistants, and even the office staff. This is an eclectic group of well experienced professionals that will know how to represent you at trial, if your case goes that far. There isn't an angle they won't think about to get you the results you are looking for. I had the pleasure of being represented by Walter Schouten. Ironically, he was referred to me by an attorney that I consulted with. I was told to call Walter because he is very knowledgeable and he's an outstanding trial lawyer. Walter took on my case and he was assisted by an amazing paralegal in Vanessa Enciso. This dynamic duo believed that they could help my situation in securing me a new trial for a custody case. They went to work immediately. This was 2 weeks after I lost at trial while being represented by a different firm. Long story long...Walter was able to get me a new trial, and he was able to get the judge to change her previous ruling. I am now the custodial parent of my 7 year old son. I have to admit that even if I wasn't awarded custodial rights, I was more than satisfied with the representation and would have been able to live with the ruling a lot easier. Knowing that I was being properly represented was huge for me. Especially since the previous firm I hired for this case was absolutely terrible. Thank you Walter, Vanessa, and Team Toombs Imel for everything. Y'all have raised the bar to the clouds for other firms. Thank you for the open communication, trustworthiness, and good vibes.

I couldn't be more proud to have been represented by Walter. I had consulted with 4 different attorney's before my consultation with him, and Walter was by far more impressive. In fact, He was referred to me by an attorney that I consulted with. This said attorney informed me that I would need a great trial lawyer for my situation. She told me to call Walter. You see, I am a father and 2 weeks before I hired Walter​ I lost a child custody case for my then 6 year old son, even though I won the recommendation from the DRO Evaluator. The firm that was representing me at the time had dropped the ball and didn't recognize the DRO Evaluator as a professional witness.​ This made it easy for the opposing attorney to object to having the evaluation report admitted into evidence. A huge blow to my case. It was the only hope that I had at winning.​ Walter let me know that he would have to convince the judge that the ruling may have been incorrect because important evidence was not heard/seen by the court. Or more simply put, convince the judge that she got it wrong. A very difficult task indeed, but Walter knew that this judge was very technical savvy and she would prefer to make sure that she made the ruling that would serve the child's best interest. He scheduled a court hearing with the judge and both parties. This will be the first time I would witness how well Walter knew his way around the courtroom. As lame as this may sound, I was in awe. Walter explained to the judge why this case should be reopened and the importance of admitting crucial evidence. He assured the judge that it would change the ruling of the case. Then he carried on by citing examples of other cases and explained that the DRO Evaluator was very clear with her recommendation. Keep in mind that the judge has not seen the evaluation report. The opposing attorney tried pushing back but the judge had heard enough. She did not allow for the case to be reopened for new evidence, but she awarded me with a new trial. The opposing attorney asked the judge for an explanation for why she granted a new trial. The judge replied that she needs to hear the crucial evidence. Walter had planted the seed. Next up was my deposition. Now during the original trial I wasn't the best witness. Walter coached me on proper witness etiquette, especially during the cross examination. I wouldn't exactly say that I nailed the depo, but I was much better under his tutelage. I also have to mention that Walter, and his amazing paralegal Vanessa, had collected supplements and discoveries from the school, hospital, and from the opposing side that would help strengthen our argument. He knew what he needed to gather to help my case. I had a new DRO Evaluation a month later, and I won the evaluators recommendation again. This is what I mean about handling your end of the bargain. I don't want to give away any of Walter's trial strategies. But I will say that he had me well prepared for the trial, and he definitely was too. After the closing statements from both sides, the judge said that she will review some of the info and get back to us the next day. I was confident that Walter represented me to the fullest. He put it all out there and didn't leave room for the opposing counsel to pick apart our argument. Walter, thank you so much for taking on my case and going to war for me. I am more than happy with the way that you handled every aspect of my case. Win or lose, I was more than satisfied with the way that you represented me. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't have changed anything that you did. By the way everyone, we won!

I had the privilege of working with Ms. Taylor Toombs, who is a remarkably intelligent, knowledgeable, and efficient lawyer. Her impressive grasp of the law, quick problem-solving abilities, and comprehensive approach to my case left a lasting impact on me. Her inviting and professional office space reflects her commitment to excellence, creating a comfortable environment. Taylor's dedication to her clients' success and personalized service sets her apart, making her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking legal assistance. Thank you so much!

I am happy to have had Serena Hudson represent me during one of the most challenging times of my life. As someone aspiring to go to law school, it's attorneys like her who I respect and look up to. She was very attentive to my concerns, and she ensured my priorities were understood and reflected in her legal strategy. Thanks to her and her office, I will have the outcome I wanted and be able to provide a stable environment for my child's future.

Taylor Imel was recommended to me by a mentor and colleague in the legal field. As a lawyer myself, I was thoroughly impressed with Taylor's responsiveness, professionalism, and results. I would recommend her to anyone seeking elite legal representation in any of her practice areas.

Knowledgeable. Hard Working. Kind—Taylor and Serena represented me during my recent family law case. This was my first family law experience so I was naturally and completely clueless. Both attorneys solicited a level of composure that I admire and appreciate. They knew the law and provided reassurance along the way, despite continuous attempted road blocks from the opposing side. I am eternally grateful for their hard work and kindness through one of the most emotionally draining experiences that I have lived through. Thank you Taylor and Serena.

Ms. Imel is an extraordinary and gifted attorney who is zealous and highly effective in the area of Divorce and Domestic Relations matters. I worked with her on behalf of a friend who is a high income executive and who went through a difficult and complex divorce. She was instrumental in achieving a very favorable result in a short period of time and was always tenacious in her approach. I found her to be well experienced, focused, and an articulate advocate at all times. She thoroughly understands financial statements and tax matters which arise in such a Divorce. She responds timely, is always available, and never failed to offer innovative and decisive advice. I recommend her completely and and know that her superior skills will benefit anyone who seeks her counsel for representation in her area of expertise. A prospective client would be hard pressed to finds another attorney who is as accomplished as she is.

Taylor is tough, smart and really listened to what was important to me throughout the entire process. I would and have recommended her on several occasions.

Taylor Imel pretty much changed my life and gave me a purpose to live again. She is an extremely thorough, intelligent, and savvy attorney. She fought for me very hard and worked tirelessly to get me the best possible outcome in such a difficult situation. She was strong and ruthless, when she needed to be yet gentle and compassionate when needed to be as well with me. I was so impressed with her that I have recommended her to others who are in need of a family attorney as well. I often think about how much she has done for me, and where I am today in my life because of her…
