Aimee is the best of the best. I hired her 4 years ago to modify custody from standard to 50/50. The attorney I had used for my divorce discouraged me from requesting 50/50, but Aimee was positive and confident to move forward. Since this she has represented me through additional modifications and enforcements. Over these 4 years she has become a friend as well as my attorney. She sincerely wants the best for myself and my children. She is fair with billing and never "nickels and dimes" when it comes to emails and phone calls and texts. She is extremely knowledgeable and respected by her clients, peers and judges. I recommend Aimee to everyone I know as she is truly an amazing attorney who cares for her clients and their families.
She is the best attorney I could have ever asked for!
Aimee not only counseled me legally, she held my hand as I felt lost, scared and confused. I truly felt safe and taken care of with her representation and guidance. She created the perfect setting for my ex and I to co-parent beautifully. As a result, years later, our son has blossomed and appreciated the relationship we continue to have. We could not have settled and made better decisions without her. I am forever grateful to Aimee.
With a compassionate focus and an eye towards the future, Aimee works with clients to skillfully assist them in identifying their goals and guide them towards a resolution in often complex and contentious family law matters. While many of her cases are aggressively litigated, Aimee's training in collaborative law ensures that client's priorities are defended, and that every step of the litigation is directed to reach that resolution in the most cost-effective and clear manner possible.
Having a Master's degree in social work provides Aimee with a unique ability to understand complex and novel custody issues and work with both clients and mental health professionals to identify what is at stake for the clients she represents. Whenever possible, she utilizes the collaborative process to craft a settlement that is more creative and personalized for her clients than is often obtained in a courtroom. Aimee uses the collaborative process as well as creative and personalized contractual agreements when working to resolve property and custody issues between same-sex couples whose marriages and relationships are not recognized by Texas courts at this time. Her compassion for families in crisis assures that she remains a tireless advocate for everyone she represents.

Amazing Lawyer with great insight
Aimee was recommended to me from another attorney I had consulted on a very complex legal issue. Aimee was very patient with me as I asked her questions and for advice on my case. She explained legal codes and terms without condescension or irritation. She knew these codes from memory and those she wasn't familiar with, she looked up and explained to me. Again, in a way that I could understand and process. I thought my case would go on for a long time, but thanks to Aimee and her fantastic mitigation skills, all was taken care of in a minimal amount of time. And the best part- at less cost than I was told by other attorneys. I am so grateful to Aimee Pingenot and highly recommend her to anyone needing a family law attorney! Thank you, Aimee!

Family Law Help
I hired Aimee to help me with my divorce and to help me with custody and support. She understood my concerns and helped me each step of the way. I felt supported, understood and protected. I never felt alone in the process and knew I had a tough lawyer looking out for me. I would highly recommend Aimee and her firm.

Pleasure to work with!
I hired Aimee to handle a suit filed by my ex-wife. She did a great job handling a very difficult ex.
We spent one full day in mediation, due to the fact that my ex refuses to agree to anything. I was able to talk with Aimee and get to know her better during this time. She is very professional yet down to earth. She is compassionate about her work and does her job very well. She was also very fair with her billing.
Since my ex never seems to give up I anticipate more litigation and I will continue to use Aimee.

A Life Transformed
When I first met Aimee I was terrified. I didn't see the divorce coming and my spouse had already hired another top Dallas firm. He had deep pockets. I was a stay-at-home mother. I was in shock and ignorant about my rights. My life seemed to be falling apart and I felt helpless.
I was immediately impressed by Aimee's demeanor. She is articulate, professional and confident. She listened intently to me during my consultation. She advised me that my situation was "unsustainable" and explained the strengths of my position. Aimee said to mark the date on my calendar because in a year's time my life would be transformed for the better.
I chose the collaborative process and Aimee brought the best team of professionals to my case. The process is slow, but deliberate. At times I was frustrated, but Aimee was always responsive. She was sensitive to my budget and I never felt "nickeled and dimed." She returned my calls and emails promptly. She is in demand and has a busy schedule, but she always made me feel that my case was important. I believed she cared.
The collaborative process broke down despite our best efforts, so Aimee advised we move to mediation. Again, the judge she engaged was tough, fair and wise. It was a grueling day and Aimee fought hard. In the end she won the best settlement possible and I am sure I couldn't have found a better advocate.
So a year latter, Aimee has made good on her promise. My life truly is transformed. My retirement is secure and my debts are paid. I have a great job, a bit of money in the bank and a charming little house where my child can grow and thrive.
Aimee's confidence is contagious- I am no longer scared. Indeed, the future seems bright and full of promise thanks to Aimee's skill, vision, and tenacity to win the best possible settlement for her clients.

I honestly think that I could not have found a more competent attorney!
I didn't know anything about Aimee Pingenot when I chose her to be my divorce attorney. However, five minutes after meeting her for the first time, I knew I had lucked out. She is very bright and focused on the business at hand. She can be tough at times, but she can also be compassionate as she helped me get through some rough moments in my divorce process. I have nothing but praise for Aimee and her staff. Without hesitation, I would recommend her to anybody that needs a family law attorney.

The BEST and More than I Imagined!!
I would highly recommend Aimee. She kept me sane, kept me up to date at all times and worked tirelessly to resolve my case in the least expensive manner as possible. Although my case turned into a long drawn out event, I never felt that Aimee overcharged me or "nickle and dimed" me for each email/phone call/update. Her billing was very fair and accurate and I never questioned any charges. She is worth her weight in gold. Her team is on target, up to date and was always there for me when I needed them. She is an amazing person as well as an excellent lawyer!

Do not hire
I hired Aimee for a high conflict divorce. She knew nothing about high conflict and was trying to get me to settle as soon as we started. She not only provided horrible recommendations, she also drew up settlements with wrong information! I was paying her to do her job correctly. She was horrible in litigation and I would take your money to another firm.
