Divorce modification

Ted took my divorce modification case after being turned away from a major law office in the area. That attorney had me convinced I had no grounds for modification. With Ted, I received an extremely fair buy out of the shared home that I was ordered to pay on for the next 3 years. He also saved me... nearly $30,000 in future child support payments on top of the buy out. I am grateful to have found him! I would definitely recommend Ted to anyone looking for the best lawyer in Collin, Denton county!

Thanks for the great review, Franky . . . and for giving me the opportunity to work on your case. I’m so glad we could get a favorable result and exceed your expectations. Best of luck, my friend—you’re a good dad!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
