I tell all of my clients, “get over yourself and worry about your kids”. In a perfect world, all divorces would be settled without the need for any court hearings. While I prefer mediation and agreed orders, when the necessity of court arises, I am a tough litigator who will advocate for you. I will put in the time, do the research and be your voice in the courtroom.
While some of my clients have nicknamed me “shark” and “viper”, I am compassionate and will represent you to the best of my abilities. My clients have my cell phone number and I am very responsive to calls, texts and emails. My goal is to get the resolution you are seeking with honesty and reasonable expectations. I will not sugarcoat anything and am always straight with my clients on the hurdles in cases. I do not nickel and dime my clients, as the more money you and your spouse spend on lawyers, the less that goes to your children. As a single mom and widow, I understand that completely.

Great dependable attorney
Carla is a very great and dependable attorney. She is very knowledgeable of family law. She was always available to counsel me, no matter the time of day or night. She is truly a committed and caring professional.
"Carla is passionate about her clients and her cases. She is one of the most responsive attorneys that I have ever worked with in my 12 years in the legal industry. I know that if she is responding to her opposing counsel that fast then her clients are benefiting from that top notch service."
"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."
