I called The Law Offices of Tim Whitten today. My call was promptly returned. Summer was able to quickly research and address my needs. Everyone I spoke today from the office was professional and courteous. Sometimes there is a tremendous amount of anxiety when you have to engage an attorney’s office, kindness and consideration goes a long way in making it a less stressful event. I am grateful to the professionals at firm.

I have seen Whitten Law(unfortunately). They are knowledgeable, and really reliable and decent people. Also, were very prompt. Thank you for your help.

I was confronted with a challenging family law situation and Tim was very helpful in laying out the issues so that I could make informed decisions.

There aren't enough words to fully convey how happy I am I chose the Law Office of Tim Whitten to represent me in a recent cusody case but I will attempt in this review. I contacted Tim Whitten to represent me in the most difficult time of my life. After a few in-depth conversations with Summer and Tim, we agreed it would be best for my case to have Tim and Amerin Whisnant represent me. Amerin Whisnant was my main attorney and handled the bulk of the case and throughout the entire case, I have never seen more courtesy, kindness and hard-work on my behalf. I felt secure knowing the knowledge they possed would give me a clear picture of my options and guide me in the right direction. However, they allowed me to make all informed decisions based on what was right for my family. Rightfully so, emotions were high, however, Amerin did a tremendous job navigating me through it all and eleviating some of the stress and intensity that came with it. They displayed the utmost professionalism towards the opposing party including his attorney which showed me a lot of wisdom. I can honestly say my son and I are better off having chosen Amerin, Tim and this entire team as our legal coucil. Even their paralegal, Ashley, was great to work with - I highly reccomend them 100x over!

Tim is an outstanding attorney focusing on collaborative divorce.

Trying to go through the name change process on my own turned into a nightmare. I hired CHA Law Group to take care of it and, from the initial phone consult to getting my certified copies of the name change order, it was stress free. Communication was excellent and they were friendly and professional throughout the process.

The consultation cost $125. However, I spent 35 mins trying to explain the custody order he had access to the entire call. Don’t waste your money.

Not sure why google isnt showing my review, but i am going to reword it then: I hired Will Shindler for a family law case. All I can say is I had a good case with good proofs, pictures, etc. He was very submissive to the opposing party and disrespectful to me and my case. He would ask me to do everything the oppossing party was asking for and would not really fight for me. Also, In family matters you have to be professional with everyone involved, these are painful moments for both parties yet he was heard many times laughing it up with the opposing party's lawyer, so much so that the oppossing party plaintiff noticed it too. I felt like all my money went down the drain, not to mention the emotional pain left after a "professional" didn't want to fight for you.

After we adopted our two children internationally, we wanted to "re-adopt" them in Texas so they could obtain Texas birth certificates. Not many family law attorneys even know this is an option for internationally adopted children. But Christine knew, and also knew exactly how to get it done quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend Christine!

The CHA Law firm went out of their way when my son was dying of cancer. He only had two weeks to live when we contacted them. They spoke with him on the phone, wrote his will, came out to the house to ensure he had all his faculties, brought witnesses to the will signing at his house, and was warm and caring during his last days. As a father, you couldn’t ask for more.

I was very pleased with the service we received from Trusler Legal PLLC who helped us adopt our son. We are so thankful for Cristi's professional and thorough care for us during the entire process. Highly recommend this practice and have referred her to others!

I HIGHLY recommend Cristi Trusler for family law, particularly custody cases. Cristi, along with her phenomenal paralegal worked countless months/hours and put forth everything they had to ensure that all of the facts were conveyed in court. We had many obstacles to overcome where the county our case was held. Cristi and her team did absolutely everything they could to speed up the process and keep a fire underneath their feet to move the needle. The end result was we WON custody of my little girl! Anyone who has had a case in Texas and you are a father wanting the best for your children - you know the struggles and chances of going before a court and presenting your case and winning...not very good odds. Well, we did it! Now my little girl is in a safe and way more stable environment than ever before. I and my wife cannot be more grateful for the huge blessing Cristi and her paralegal have been in this case. Cristi, if you see this review I want to again thank you so much for being a great advocate for my little girl. And for everyone else, take my word for it - you will not be disappointed.

I work in the family law field, and have for more than a decade. So when I was faced with needing to hire an attorney to represent my family, I knew exactly who I wanted for the job. Cristi Trusler and her staff are courteous, responsive, and always kept me and my husband informed about what our options were. Cristi and her paralegals answered all of our questions, welcomed our input, and addressed our concerns. When you are fighting for something as important as your children, it is imperative that you feel heard, and that you know you are getting the best possible advice from someone with real trial experience. My husband and I could not be more pleased with the work of Trusler Legal, and would recommend Ms. Trusler to anyone needing sound legal advice and representation.

I’ve worked with Cristi Trusler in divorce cases for over a decade. I have had multiple Collaborative divorce cases with her and have mediated for her as well. She is a compassionate and knowledge advocate and creative problem solver.

Trusler provided an excellent legal experience. Their online tools and workbooks allowed 2 adults to compromise on the details of dissolving the marriage. We used their well-thought out process to discuss things as adults. I recommend Trusler highly. I was very satisfied.

I had initial consultations with 3 divorce attorneys, and within minutes of my first meeting with Melissa I knew she was the one I would retain. From the beginning, she gave me very honest and accurate information, which helped me to have realistic expectations. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of family law, very well organized, and a great communicator. It was obviously not her first rodeo, and as it was mine, I found her calm demeanor very reassuring. She never flinched when opposing counsel delayed, postured, and made unreasonable requests. She was exceptionally responsive throughout the entire course of my case, as was as her paralegal. I also felt like she did a good job of presenting options that would minimize my legal fees. My divorce unfortunately ended up in court. Melissa did a great job at the trial, and I had a very favorable outcome. I highly recommend Melissa!

I couldn't have asked for a more supportive, efficient, and prevailing lawyer than Melissa Williams for my divorce. She helped me wrap this process up in about 5 months or less no matter the challenge we faced. She always respected my wishes but always made sure I was aware of all my options that were in my best interest. I am forever thankful!

I had a wonderful experience with Melissa. She was understanding and thorough and helped me to achieve my desired result during a custody case. I loved how incredible knowledgeable she is. I could not recommend her enough.

I have had the honor to know Melissa for nearly 15 years. She is wonderful; compassionate when needed, and tough when required! I treasure her input to assist me in making critical decisions that can affect me for many years ahead. Our moral values are aligned, and most important, I trust her. Matter of fact, I have had the opportunity to refer Melissa to several Friends over the years and everyone has been just as grateful for her professional assistance. I would be happy to refer her to anyone.

Melissa Williams is the best divorce attorney in Austin, Texas. Melissa is professional, organized, and highly respected. I'm grateful for her help.

Jimmy and his team have been wonderful to work with. Very dedicated and professional. Jimmy explains things in a very careful and intelligent way that a non lawyer understands. He's a very practical, and skillful attorney. Going through a divorce is not easy but having Jimmy and his team handle everything quickly and professionally was such a relief. I highly recommend this law firm!

When you need a strong voice who knows the law to fight for what is truly in the best interest of your family, choose Evans Family Law Group. They are responsive, knowledgeable, professional and honest. My case is still open, but I am confident with what I have experienced so far. Jimmy takes great pride in his firm and it shows though prompt and personal communication from him and his staff. Everyone I've encountered is helpful and professional.

The service and respect I've received after I've been with them for years has dramatically changed. I think if you are exploring options I would continue to explore. Extreme focus on billing and not service...seems like we were never organized and on point. Constantly repeating work. Its like I have to defend myself in every conversation. It appears it’s a cultural thing. Turns out its a similar experience among others I've spoken with. If I could reduce to zero I would.

Jimmy and his team are amazing. The depth of experience and ability to advise on my divorce was incredible. It became very clear to me that they work very hard at what they do. The most amazing thing that I continued to notice was how Jimmy could see far down the road and predict what was going to happen based on the TX legal system in conjunction with the personalities of opposing counsel. This was impressive and these are the qualities you want in an attorney that you hire to represent you. Surprises are the most difficult thing when you are going through tough times like this, and Evans Family Law Group does their best to set proper expectations and ease the anxiety of their clients. I would highly recommend their services for any family law related matter.

Kimberley Evans has been my divorce attorney many years. There aren't enough nouns for me to describe my experience with her as my attorney. Her tenacity, drive, and hard work are apparent. "The work will speak for itself" and it certainly does. Evans Law Group is also a representation of these things. When it comes to something like the fallout after an ended marriage, especially where children are involved, every decision can have lasting ramifications. Timing can make or break various factors for you depending on the circumstance. Don't risk the potential for long term clean up. Work with the best from the get go and ensure the best outcome for yourself and your family and start with the best from ground zero.

I recommend this law firm unequivocally, without hesitation! More than competent , extremely personable and reasonable in price, everyone from Catherine to her office manager and paralegal were their for me. Catherine fought for my financial well-being and was incredibly supportive emotionally for me. I had no clue how to navigate a divorce and this firm was my port in the storm of divorce, guiding and helping me through every step and wave.

Catherine Benouis and her team were so helpful during my collaborative divorce. In my first meeting with her, I immediately felt better about starting what I knew would be a tough process. She was consistently professional and responsive all the way to the end. I highly recommend Benouis Law.

Going through divorce is never a pleasant experience but I can say that the team at Benouis Law made the process far less upsetting than I envisioned. The professionalism and responsiveness of Ms. Benouis and her team was excellent. I was kept well informed throughout the process which was made both transparent and understandable at a time when the world otherwise seemed upside down.

I retained Catherine for a divorce and throughout the process, even more than her knowledge of Da Law, what made all the difference was her empathy. Her concern for my mental well being was so, so appreciated. She made an unbearable process somehow much more bearable. I don't recommend divorce, but if you have to go through it, I highly recommend Catherine Benouis Law!

The team at Benouis Law are all highly capable and professional. And they know their area of the law very well. I couldn't have navigated the challenges and choices in my situation without the help of Catherine and her staff. Highly recommended when you have a family law need.

Janice Eggleston represented me in a high asset divorce case that ended up spanning 15 months. The case was decided by trial and she was extremely effective in court when it mattered the most. I highly recommend The Eggleston Law firm.

My divorce/child support case was complicated. I spoke with half a dozen attorneys prior to speaking with Janice. None of the attorneys I spoke with were confident in how to proceed with my case. A few said they'd research it and get back with me (they didn't get back with me) and some just honestly said they had no idea how to handle this case. From the first time I spoke with Janice she was confident in how to proceed - she told me exactly what she would do and she did it. She researched case law for my particular situation and was very prepared in court. And 8 months later - our case is complete and we were awarded everything we asked for. Janice and her team were professional, they did not over promise anything. She is direct and to the point and was always available when I had questions. I hope to never have to use her services again, but I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing legal services for any family law situations.

When you’re in the position of needing a family lawyer, The Eggleston Law firm doesn’t fall short. Having hired both Janice and Bryan as legal counsel, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. They are both very professional, straight-forward, responsive, knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly work to get the best results for you and your children. Communication has never been an issue- they are always keeping you informed of the process and status of your case. You’ll never feel pressured to make a decision you aren’t in agreement with, only guided to do what is best for your family. Bryan was fully prepared when going to trial and did a fabulous job preparing me for questioning. He definitely out performed opposing counsel! Cassie, their paralegal, is amazing and very knowledgeable as well. Great team, don’t waste your time hiring anyone else!

Absolutely wonderful they are amazing people and are willing to do what needs to be done. They stepped in and helped me when no one else could. They are the angels that helped me get custody of my son. Words can not describe how thankful I am. Thank you Bryan and Cassie for all the hard work ya'll guys put in to make this possible.

We needed a fighter, and Bryan put on his boxing gloves for us and won our match. It was scary for our family as my grandson was taken by his other grandmother who took him out of school for the week and then took him to Corpus from the Austin area. We had to track her down, drive to Corpus and get him back. While my husband and daughter were on their drive, Cassie and I were in constant text - We were all on a mission to get that boy in his momma's arms again. Bryan filed restraining orders and writs and all of the above to make this happen. This was a long and hard case, but we had the Final Virtual Hearing today and he brought my family justice.. My daughter now has Sole Custody of her boy and I am quite proud of her and the outcome of this matter. I pray nobody has to go through what we did, but if you do - I assure you want Bryan in your corner.. I couldn't ask for a better representative for my family and thank you just is not enough words..

The BEST FAMILY Law Attorney I have ever worked with. 1 year ago I was blindsided with a separation and custody battle. It all started with my ex wanting to leave making false child abuse and domestic abuse claims against me. She was threatening to have me never see the kids and specifically telling me that she would 'destroy my life'. Ryan Dougay was highly recommended from multiple attorney friends of mine. I walked into his office thinking I was totally ruined financially, in my relationship with my kids and with my reputation. Ryan went above and beyond. He came up with multiple strategies implemented them and within 8 weeks I was in a position to get full custody of my children. That being said, Ryan also helped pull in the reins of resentment and 'divorce frustration' and guide me on making the best choice for myself, family and kids in a post divorce world. As it was told to me 1 year ago - 'I you have a case that can be won, Ryan will win it'. 100% Truth

Hire him..he's worth every penny

I highly recommend Ryan Dougay for custody issues. My daughter hired him to represent her in custody of her 2 children. As a mother fighting for her children and a grandmother having to watch, it was a very difficult time. After meeting with Ryan, he put our minds at ease. He gave us straight forward answers and explained what would happen. He believed in my daughter and had my granddaughters best interest at heart. My daughter got her girls back and if it wasn't for Ryan, she would still be fighting to see them. If you are reading this review, you are searching for a great attorney to fight for your children, I would call Ryan. I am so happy and relieved that we did.

I was extremely fortunate to have been referred to Ryan. Once I hired him my confidence immediately skyrocketed and the outcome was far better than I could have ever imagined. If a friend of yours referred you to Ryan, then they have just given you a lifeline.

I highly recommend Ryan as a competent, skilled, and effective family law attorney. Going through a divorce is never going to be a fun experience, but Ryan's extensive knowledge of Texas family law and good humor made my own personal journey much easier and productive than I had anticipated being possible. He presented me with clear and understandable options that, ultimately, led to a good and fair outcome for both concerned, and also helped me navigate a process that, without his assistance, would have been otherwise even more painful and challenging. You would be wise to consider him if you find yourself having to face such a difficult life change.

I would love to express how amazing David Kazen and Mary his legal assistant are in handling my case. He has defended me through unjust accusations and fought for my daughters and myself . Both he and Mary possess such an empathetic demeanor throughout my case and have been comforting and helpful during our professional time together. They both have had ethical and legal advice the entire time, and never made me feel like I was less than an important client. In times where I have been worried about ongoing issues occurring I have been able to reach them immediately even on the weekends. I would highly recommend David Kazen's girl to anyone needing a just and ethical family lawyer to represent them in their case. I only wish I had of found him sooner as the other attorneys I worked with in Austin were unethical in many ways and did little to nothing to help end this process. David is much different in assisting in closing things out so that the case will not continue to drag on.

David took over our case after our attorney passed away. His office came recommended from our precious attorney’s office. David jumped in and listened to our case and circumstances and was fully committed. David was even not too familiar with military retirement issues but allowed us to be fully involved in every step and was appropriately aggressive with opposing council to encourage a timely response. We would recommend David for anyone needing help in the family law arena or military retirement issues. And Mary in his office is a doll and so helpful all around wonderful experience.

David Kazen is hands down the lawyer I recommend to anyone seeking legal counsel. David represented me through my divorce as well as a custody battle a year later and I couldn’t have been more pleased. David and Mary, his legal assistant, are responsive, caring, and very knowledgeable of not only family law, but the workings of The Travis County judicial system as well. Usually being the father in the state of Texas already puts you behind the eightball when it comes to custody battles, but with David’s help and guidance I was able to get exactly what I had asked for in mediation. If you have any legal needs contact David Kazen.

I would like to say that having David Kazen represent me during divorce and child custody matters was a very comforting experience. David and his team kept me updated, educated and helped to reduce my anxiety during a very stressful and difficult time in my life. David remained diligent and committed to our case throughout more than a two year long legal battle that had a happy ending. I would like to say "Thank you" to David" for reuniting me with my children. I would highly recommend David Kazen Law.

David has been my attorney for almost a decade now and has artfully worked is way through an incredibly difficult divorce. I have appreciated his thorough knowledge of the law coupled with his rational and sensible advice throughout the process. It was extremely important to me during such a stressful and emotionally trying process that I could not only trust, but also rely on. I consider David top notch and would not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends or family if they were ever to need the services of a family law attorney.

Chris through and through was a professional who understands the system and will prepare you on what might happen and will happen. He's honest and gets straight to the point of the situation. I had been dealing with a child's medical payment lawsuit that I should've never been sued for as well as TX AG's Office mistakenly setting up wrong child support payments amounts that without Chris, the issue would've never gotten resolved. Grateful that I found Chris and I highly recommend him to anyone going through hard co-parenting times.

Chris Is the best lawyer I could have ever been lucky enough to work with. The idea of getting a divorce was so hard to even think about but Chris made it very comfortable for me because he understood the difficulty , the decisions and how brave one must be as to leave hard marriage. He was there with understanding and helped me through every hoop. I have learned a lot from my experience and I would thoroughly recommend Chris if you are married to someone who is very manipulating. It’s gonna be hard no matter what but it’s really important that you have somebody like Chris in your corner to help you. He knows best how to get you through this process. You can put your trust in Chris. So, Hang in there , it will get better and when it’s over , it’s very important for you to have someone who knows the ropes as to how to take very good care of you and your concerns. Chris will do his best for you. He did this for me. .

I am grateful to have had the support of a fantastic attorney in the matter of my uncontested divorce. Chris Merritt made the process painless and quick. He is smart, experienced, thorough, approachable, and kind. His rate is fair. I recommend him highly.

Mr. Merritt is brilliant in the courtroom and works extremely hard for his clients. I saw this firsthand. Highly recommended.

Chris is a rare find in his field. He was very consultative in helping me find a solution for my family issue. He walked me through each option and stage of the process. He was forthcoming with which route was the best route for me. The route we chose for me ultimately paid him less than all others. He truly puts his clients before himself.
