Kenneth G. Raggio

I was referred by very trusted and knowledgeable source to Ken Raggio at Raggio & Raggio. I was in a long-term marriage and it seemed that my husband was acting erratically, to say the least. I set up a consultation with Ken and brought the documents he requested I bring. Except for the ones I could...n’t get, many of which Ken was able to discern a lot about by asking me questions. During the consultation, after Ken had focused what he considered the salient facts, he started giving me advice. He said he was showing me which “sector of the pie” or “part of the ballpark” I was in. It was advice that I did not want to hear or accept. I told him that I basically had little use for his advice laying out my future. Well, a few months went by and what Ken Had told me would come to pass was coming to pass. Ken did represent me in the ultimate divorce-- which turned out very well for me-- but what I’m really advocating for people is that they get a consultation with Ken to discuss their situation. Knowledge is powerful. And that consultation should probably happen way earlier than when I got one. It needs to be right THEN when you think there MAY be a problem, not after you KNOW there is a problem. A few hundred bucks well spent—to find out where you are likely headed.

The Raggio's represented my mother in her divorce many years ago and she was very pleased with the outcome, so they were the first firm that I thought of when I realized that it was time to find an attorney to represent me in my divorce procedure. When I first visited Ken Raggio, I was ready to get... out with my clothes and my truck. However after Ken assessed my situation he informed me that I deserved much more and that my spouse would probably come after me for everything. At the end of the process with many court appearances to drag information and money from my spouses control, she and I finally settled in mediation a month before trial and I walked away with everything I wanted and more than I anticipated when I first met with Ken. I am grateful to Ken for opening my eyes to the possibilities and I am blessed to have contacted Ken for his help. Ken Raggio's reputation as one of the "Best Lawyers" in Dallas as well as the State is well deserved and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a Family Lawyer.

I looked up international divorce on the web. I found Ken Raggio. I was also referred to him by an attorney who knows the reputation of the Raggio’s in the Dallas legal community and specifically in divorce and family law. Specifically, my husband and I had last lived together at his home in... Germany. Which meant that this was an international divorce case. My goals were very clear: I wanted to get a divorce, instead of spending months or years and a small fortune dealing with jurisdictional issues that arise all the time in international divorces. So Ken devised a straightforward and efficient plan to try and help me achieve my goal. And it worked! I went to court with Ken just three months after the divorce was filed and got my divorce granted. I appreciate Ken’s quick analysis of my situation and very accurate advice. It led me to the exact resolution that I desired.

My husband and I had not been getting along. We are both professionals who mostly work outside of Dallas, and were rarely at home at the same time. Then I get a letter from a lawyer saying he wants to annul our marriage, and that if I didn't agree that they would make me pay his attorneys fees. ... I was referred to Ken Raggio, who told me that an annulment was NOT appropriate, and that I should not agree to something like that, and that if my husband wanted a divorce, he should file for a divorce. He eventually did file. And we exchanged documents. And I quantified how much my husband had spent on his girlfriend. And even though the lawyers never met and my husband and I never met about the divorce, we were able to get the house under contract for sale and come to a complete agreement dividing all our property. And I got my name back! Ken was able to help me see and deal with the reality of my situation and helped me to come to a final resolution with which I am happy. Thanks.

I consulted with Ken Raggio and the others at Raggio & Raggio and hired them to file a divorce for me. I had previously filed for divorce with another lawyer, but eventually dismissed it. Ken was so much more thorough in telling me what I needed to know, and was firm in keeping me focused on the th...ings that he said I needed to be focused on. I’m sure he got mad at me on more than one occasion! Anyway, my big complaint was the lack of transparency and financial with my spouse. As soon as the divorce was filed, Ken got all the financial information that I really only suspected existed and was very comforting. My spouse has again asked me to reconcile and we put off the temporary hearing for which Ken had prepared me fully and completely to give our reconciliation a chance. Don’t know if my spouse and I will make it; as Ken says the founding fathers said, “pursuit of happiness, not guarantee of happiness,” but Ken helped get to the place where I feel better about my situation than I have for years.
