Avery Blake Rudd

I had a very difficult and messy divorce, and after a disappointing experience with another attorney who charged fees but did little, I found Mr. Blake. From the first consultation, he was attentive, organized, and truly committed to my case. He explained my options clearly, communicated regularly, a...nd handled every detail with professionalism and care. Thanks to Mr. Blake’s expertise and persistence, my case was resolved much more smoothly than I expected. I highly recommend Mr. Blake to anyone going through a divorce — compassionate, effective, and results-driven. I really wish I could give more than five stars.

I am 34 years old now, and my ex-wife is 31 years old. I filed for divorce back in May 2022 and finalized it in January 2023. We did NOT have a single joint account, and the only combined asset we had was our house, which we purchased back in July 2020. During the consultation, Blake mentioned that t...his case could cost me somewhere between $6,000 to $8,000 if we finalize everything in mediation, but it could go up to $13,000 to $15,000 if my ex-wife takes me to court for any reason. In the end, we settled everything in mediation, but it cost me $25,000 just to get a divorce where none of my desired outcomes were achieved! I was incredibly frustrated by how recklessly I was billed for any type of work that was being done. Whenever I asked questions about the charges, I only received explanations on why those charges were legitimate. Moreover, I was charged additional fees for looking into those charges, and I was always threatened to seek another representation if I had any issues with billing. Going through a divorce is not a pleasant experience, but realizing that I had unintentionally hired another adversary to accompany me during this excruciating process was a hard pill to swallow. To highlight the lack of attention Blake paid to me and my case, there was an incident during mediation. He was responsible for working on the spreadsheet that splits the assets and liabilities between my ex-wife and me. There seemed to be something that didn't add up to me, so I eventually requested him to forward that spreadsheet to me so I could review the formulas. It turned out that a mistake had been made, resulting in me losing $15,000 in my share of assets. I pointed this out to him, emphasizing that I am a math major (something I had mentioned to him numerous times, starting with the initial consultation). Blake was very surprised to find that out again and proceeded to recommend that it might be too late to rectify this discrepancy with the opposing party if we still wanted to reach a settlement without going to court. Otherwise, going to court would cost the same amount and cause a lot more stress. I am more than happy to provide any necessary facts to support this experience, and I would NEVER recommend Blake or his assistant Erin for anything!

I worked with Blake and Erin for a little over a year on my divorce. It would be an understatement to say I was at the lowest point in my life when I met them. I was scared, depressed, and dealing with a health scare. Throughout the process I was made very comfortable, Blake made sure to explain eac...h step to my satisfaction, and I really felt like I was never alone anymore. Blake and Erin made a very difficult situation bearable, and in the end I got a settlement that helps me start my life over with some peace of mind. I would recommend this team to anyone who is facing a divorce, especially if you are looking for guidance, but someone who lets you make the decisions along the way. I’m so grateful for them both, and now I’m starting the second part of my life with confidence.

Blake is GOOD! He is professional, he represents his clients zealously, he is aggressive, and the most reliable attorney you can get. He is well worth taking a chance on and I am glad I did! He railroads through opposing counsel like it's nothing in court...one of the best litigators I have ever had ...the pleasure of working with. He and his paralegal, Erin, know your case inside and out and will lead you through your difficult situation every step of the way. Just follow his advice and he will get you through it in the best way possible. You will be very pleased that you retained him as his work product is top-notch. The best divorce attorney in North Texas, hands down!!

I hired Blake to help with a custody dispute. Long story short, I've been back to court for several modifications over the past ten years of being divorced. First Blake showed compassion and empathy for my situation, then he was patient while he explained what to anticipate moving forward. After tak...ing my case and reading through the entire 10 year history, he came up with a game plan that he and I were happy with. He found several cases that mirrored my own and was able to use them to help with the judgement . Just his research alone was enough to give me confidence he was the right person for my case. He also gave me confidence that no matter what happened in court, he put me in the best possible position to succeed. Before we even got to court he set clear expectations and let me know what to expect. He was calm the whole time. This helped me be calm while answering questions from the other attorney. The case was won. I have no doubt that he was the reason why. I have had several different lawyers since my divorce and he was by far the best. I was lucky to find him and I would recommend him highly to anyone who wishes to find representation that isn't taking a case just to get paid. Blake's compassion for my situation made me feel like he truly wanted to help. I am thankful he was in my corner.
