Carla is One Of A Kind! She cares about her clients, she walked me through every detail with grace and full understanding so that I was not overwhelmed. Carla will not back down for what is right and has a genuine love for Family Law and the betterment of her clients. She works tireless hours,... shows up prepared and celebrates every victory with you along the way! Compassionate! Fierce! Dependable! Fair! Confident! If these qualities speak to your way of life, Carla will not let you down.

Helped me get custodial guardianship.

Carla and her team have been a blessing to our family. She helped out in so many ways during the process of getting custodial guardianship of my 3 beautiful grandbabies. She was crucial in making sure the children are protected.

Thank you Carla <3

Over the last 4 years my partner and I have went through a child custody battle I wouldn't wish on anyone. The first 2 years we felt very bullied in court. Our lawyers at the time were not successful and ultimately we ended up having to settle. For 2 years I had to make trips to Dallas from Houston a...nd cried many tears, However 2 years ago we walked into Rankin Law Group and it was the "BEST" decision we ever made! Over the last 2 years Carla has become apart of our family.The phrase "It's a marathon not a sprint" is etched into my memory bank for life. Our Marathon ended yesterday with a final! Carla had our girls returned to me 2 years ago and as of yesterday, that Marathon became FINAL! Carla means more to my family then she will ever know. Yes Lawyers are expensive but CARLA RANKIN is worth it! Tuck your tears away, let her go to battle for you! Thank you Carla :) Sincerely Melissa and Tandra

Worst divorce attorney on the planet

Carla billed me and billed me and never did a thing to help me or protect me. Worst attorney in the planet. I wouldn’t let her defend my worst enemy

There are not enough good things I can say about CARLA and her TEAM

As a stay at home mom separation wasn't the easiest for me, I spoke to many Lawyers and went through 3 years of absolute devestation. Carla and her team got my 3 daughters back to me! This wasn't an easy case! I absolutely lost my words in court with utter stage fright. Carla's ability to get my mess...age across and present the facts, has lifted 3 years of anguish and heartache for my family and I. I will never be able to thank Carla and The Rankin Law Group enough! She will keep it 100% real with you even when you don't necessarily want to hear what she may have to say! Trust me when I say every honest word was worth hearing! Thankyou so much!

"I strongly endorse Ms. Rankin, as a thorough, zealous advocate for her clients. Ms. Rankin and I represented opposing parties in a divorce. Ms. Rankin was always prepared to aggressively pursue her client's interests. Ms. Rankin was also professional and poised, despite the contentiousness of the proceedings. I highly recommend her for all your family law needs in the DFW area. She is an experienced and skilled attorney, who is a formidable opponent in the courtroom."

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.
