Look no further...Joe and his team are the best! I procured Joe as my divorce attorney through a referral ( another well known attorney ), and I can't express enough how grateful I am. He's truly genuine, very talented and actually committed/focused on his individual clients. He is professionally and respectfully well known in the Austin area and his reputation somewhat intimidated my ex wife’s attorney. I very seldom leave reviews, but I know how hard it is to find an attorney you can count on. He went above what you might expect. I didn’t feel I had to rush when speaking to him and he made me feel more comfortable and hopeful. He took his time explaining everything to me in detail. He fought for me and guided me every step of the way; always available day and night. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for help on a divorce.

Joe, Melissa and Benjamin were the best! They were extremely patient and empathetic with me as I worked through what I thought was a “simple” divorce over the course of a few years! Joe always keeps the best interest of the children in mind. He is extremely responsive (as is the rest of his team) and I always felt like I was heard. While this life change may not be ideal, I highly recommend Joe to anyone that is going through it! He will have your full attention, show compassion, but get the job done!

Joe and his team have been great to work with. They handled my case with professionalism. They maintained good communication with me while I worked with them. Most important, Joe always had my children’s best interest in mind while I addressed legal issues with my ex-wife. I highly recommend Newberry Law in dealing with family legal matters.

Joe Newberry always put my kids first. He let me make decisions and made it clear that he was there to represent what I wanted and was there to educate and guide me along the way; that was important to me. He’s very empathetic and has such a humanizing approach. Divorce is ugly, but Joe Newberry is the best family attorney in Austin.

I’m certain that Joe and his team see cases like ours all the time. However, when your biggest love is being a father and a divorce threatens the possibility of not having your children 50/50. A fear of uneasy sets in and you can’t get that out of your mind. Joe studied my case. He asked real questions and he needed full transparency. We gave him everything he asked for. After meeting with Joe, He told me that this will be a process and he had our family’s best interest Mind. After a year of back and forth and having to provide everything under the sun. We prevailed and set forth on a life of happiness. I have my children 50/50 and support was not granted. I can’t express the amount of gratitude and respect I have for Joe and his team! He was truly a man of his word and I could never repay him for the happiness he’s given our family. Thank you Joe for making my dreams come true!

I am very grateful for the legal guidance I received from Kirker Davis LLP. They showed compassion, understanding, and were very responsive to all my questions and needs. Demi has been my Legal Counsel for some time and she has always given me the best and honest answers. Her and Lianna took my legal matters and made them very personal and yet professional. I truly am grateful for their time and effort. Family is everything and they take that to heart.

Candice, Ashley, and Laurie are highly professional, strategic, thorough, and above all intelligent. They helped me stay organized (which is no small feat), gracefully pivoted in the face of challenges, and provided emotional clarity in times of distress, even when those challenges and distressful situations were due to missteps by me. In my case, Candice routinely exhibited prescience regarding which matters deserved focus and which matters were distractions, which saved time, and money. Ashley expertly delivered to the court clear, concise, and highly effective summaries of complex topics. More than once, Candice and Ashley noticed and brought to light critical details that easily would have been missed and that had a huge impact. I couldn't say enough about how much this team helped me through my ordeal.

Excellent service! I contacted the Kirker | Davis law firm with a matter outside of their scope of practice. And yet, I received an immediate response from Carly Banner, with the helpful information and a great source for legal services. Very helpful! Thank you, Carly!!!

My experience with the law firm was excellent. The legal advice I received helped to clarify my options and guide discussions that ultimately led to a positive outcome for my family. I highly recommend this law firm.

Demi and her team were extremely professional, considerate and helpful during my divorce. Demi was extremely thorough with her professional guidance and advice and I felt comforted knowing she was protecting my and my best interest. Their communication was fast and I felt I had a team that cared about the outcome of my case. I can't recommend them highly enough.

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.

Carolyn Young has an extensive working knowledge of family law. She is extremely dedicated to each and every client, while providing excellent results that are fair, ethical, and timely. I highly recommend her with your legal needs.

I've worked with David there in the office. They have a tremendous attention to detail, and are fine people to work with. Genuinely nice people.

I hired Carolyn about 10 years ago, paid my $4000 retainer and she used almost the entire amount ($40 returned unused) in just serving him with papers, phone calls to me. Nothing was accomplished for $4000. I had to hire another attorney and pay again before I got my case settled. Very upset and a waste of money I didn't have.

Angela faye brown was a great attorney. She help me with most of my case. Althought we didn't get to finish my case. I would love too work with her again.

Mrs. Brown was by my side through a long 5 year custody battle, she stayed strong against an amazing legal defense and won my case. She worked endless hours and many weekends for my sons, she went the extra mile to reassure me when I was afraid to walk into the courtroom to face my ex husband. She held my hand as we heard the verdict from our judge and shared in my tears and happiness no matter what, she was an amazing lawyer and maintained her professionalism as well as treated us like part of the family. We are so thankful for Mrs. Brown and all she has done for my wonderful sons, and what a blessing she has brought our beautiful family back together. Thank you Mrs. Brown

I just wanted to let everyone, ( especially fathers), who is having trouble with visitation, custody, or family law issues, know that what Angela, & her team did for me and my son was short of a miracle! After a very long 7 years of trying to see my son, Angela did what two other law firms could not, I was finally able to not only see my son, but I was granted primary custody of my son! With the help of my wife, my son is now able to get the attention he was in much need of, and is thriving in his school work, and his confidence and personality have change for the better! Thank you Joe

My initial consultation was a pleasure! I look forward to working with this team. I am beyond pleased with the advice I have received to get my case moving! Very impressed!

Got the results I was looking for an at the same time was helped all along the way..My voice was heard an the the results i wanted i received .no complaints hear.

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.

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 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.

The legal services provided by Janet Mccullar and staff were outstanding. My experience was wonderful. Janet is a people person and knows how to command a court room. She is focused on the client’s needs. During my case, Janet was professional and always was prepared for any issues.

While I have not required Ms. McCullar's services personally, I have had an opportunity to work closely with her professionally. She is caring, strong, and very motivated to provide her clients with excellent services. She listens to her client's needs and works hard to ensure they are provided with a fair resolution. I recommend all my friends that may need family law service to her and would certainly want her on my side if I was in need of family law services.

Janet and staff were very professional, courteous, and empathetic. They were very prompt in returning communication and answering my questions. I wasn't the biggest client but always felt my case was being handled professionally and with the utmost importance.

Very happy with legal services provided by Slav Talavera.

I feel the process took longer than necessary. My attorney was very nice and made me feel comfortable.

If you are facing a difficult divorce, I highly recommend Weinman and Associates. They work together as a team and are very responsive and helpful. At all times we felt confident we were getting the best legal representation possible. Casey Kelley represented my son and he worked diligently to protect my son’s rights as a father. We couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. In addition, the entire office staff is helpful and friendly. We always felt we were valued as clients and that they really understand our situation and truly cared.

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.
