An attorney for solutions

I obtained Shelby Hart's services to put an end to child support, as the issue had become somewhat complicated. He and Rachel, his paralegal, worked diligently to obtain all of the information needed to address the issue, obtaining through legal channels records from obstinate parties, and showing ob...ligations were not being met which would require the continuation of child support. The Coker, Robb & Cannon firm is not inexpensive, but the end result will still save me many thousands of dollars over an indeterminate time period. I would recommend Shelby Hart for family law needs, as he was able to help me reach an agreement with my ex that much improves my financial situation, and gives me more control of future dealings. Many thanks to Shelby and Rachel.

Shelby Saved My Sanity

I’m not sure what your family law needs are, but I am sure that Coker, Robb & Cannon can help you. And if you’re looking for a divorce lawyer that won’t add to the stress and anxiety of the situation, then definitely go with Shelby Hart, I couldn’t be more grateful for how he helped me. I reached ...out online, and they got back to me the same day. I think it was Rachel that reached out and interviewed me and after discussing my situation she paired me with Shelby, who was also a new parent, and that was amazing! I don’t know if this is standard practice, but it should be. It should also be mentioned that Rachel worked with me throughout the process: on my case as a paralegal, to help me schedule time and figure out documents, and she was incredibly kind, patient and thoughtful in every interaction. Shelby was invaluable, in that he not only made me feel less stressed out about getting divorced, he also gave me advice on what the different outcomes would be depending on the path I chose. He helped me negotiate a decree that would not only be in the best interest of my child and myself, but one that would stand up in court. His advice kept me grounded, and he tailored his approach to my now ex-husband perfectly. That may not seem important on the surface, but when you are living with the person you are divorcing, it makes a huge difference in your day-to-day life and interactions with that person. I was fully divorced within 3 months of contacting Coker, Rob & Cannon, and I plan on using them for my will and any other family law needs I may have in the future. Shelby, sincerely, thank you for everything, I appreciate it so much.

Great Teamwork led by Attorney Hart

What began as a painful and stressful personal situation requiring legal counseling ended up as an amicable divorce process lead by Attorney Shelby Hart and his professional team. As I had already relocated out of state, our communication in exchanging information had to be timely and exact. Each i...nteraction with Attorney Hart exceeded my expectations as he and his staff promptly and clearly addressed all questions and concerns. I appreciated the timely updates regarding when I could expect my billing statement. They were clearly and concisely itemized, so I was never a surprised with an obscure or hidden charge. I would highly recommend this personable, knowledgeable and highly professional team. FYI - my divorce case was processed immediately following the 61st day, as allowed by TX law.

Out of state move

I was more than taken care of by this law firm. My attorney Shelby Hart believed in my case since day one. My situation was far from easy, I was trying to move out of state with my son to start a family with my husband. His father wanted to restrict me to the county I currently lived it. I was turned... away by another attorney because she said there was no way I had a chance. But when I called Shelby he was nothing but uplifting, positive, and honest about the risk and chances but was reassuring of my chance and possibilities. He never gave up and found all kinds of ways to make this happen for me. He was always keeping me informed and allowed me to make any and all final decisions. Ashley Leverett, his parallel was always so helpful and on top of everything. She was also very sympathetic with me and gave good advice as well has helped me along the way with getting all my documents together. Even down to billing and payments, Georgia was always pleasant to work with on arranging and making my payments as well as answering any questions I had. Shelby, Ashley, and I won the case and I am completely moved in with my husband, son and newest member on the way! We are so happy and grateful for all the help we got at Coker!

Best in Class

Coker Legal was there for me in one of the worst times in my life. Divorce is never an easy thing and Shelby and his group were beyond incredible in ensuring that the process was painless, that I was informed of the entire process and always available to answer any and all questions that I may have. ...I would highly recommend Jacob and his team for anything that you may need. From our initial consultation to the last correspondence noting that my case was completed everything was handled in the upmost professional way with compassion always being noticeable throughout the process. Coker Legal and everyone that I came in contact with at the firm was incredibly friendly and always helpful. Jacob, Shelby and Jennifer thank you for all of your help, you are all beyond incredible and I appreciate everything. Thank you.
