Roland Barbosa

Roland helped me get through perhaps what was the most difficult time of my life. When I first considered divorcing my partner, I was hopelessly clueless and did not know a single thing about it. Honestly, the mere idea of going through the entire legal process was terrifying. Lucky for me, a friend ...suggested Barbosa Family Law, P.C. From the first meeting at his home-office to the day my divorce was finalized, Roland handled every minor detail of my divorce. At every point, he made sure I understand my options and take the right decisions. Contrary to how I initially imagined the legal process, everything went smoothly in a timely manner. Also, 5 stars for his professionalism! I must say, Roland Barbosa is great at what he does. I would totally suggest Barbosa Family Law, P.C. to anyone going through this ordeal. Best of luck!

I'm a family court veteran. Been twice before and granted Primary custody in 2004 and 2008. My estranged wife served me for child support after 6 years of separation,.I knew what I needed in my representation. Experienced Presentable Personable Loyal Quick witted Attorneys are a resource... like a tool used to accomplish a vision. As a Father's Rights advocate, I hear hundreds of stories from other fathers who are not pleased with their attorney and the results of the case. I understand that in Family Court, nothing is guaranteed. I still did my due diligence and after talking to two other attorneys, I arranged a contract with Mr. Barbosa based on the criteria outlined above. Initial Consult - I honestly don't remember if it cost me anything. I knew ahead of time that this moment would come so I had savings for half of it. We met for an hour, I gave him the back story, all the current data and evidence to support my case as Primary Caretaker and discussed my strategy. He made some high level recommendations and outlined my best approach based on the initial consult. I liked that and based on the hour we talked, I measured he was a very smart person I could trust to handle at least the initial hearing. What Roland did was amazing. Dropping the formalities to get through this review. He seized on the strength of my case after our first meeting and made the biggest modification for me... I was seeking 50/50 (though for the entirety of my children's lives, they were with me 70% of the time with me as the primary caretaker) and no CS. He convinced me to modify my case to request more than 50/50 because I could have been awarded the 50/50 and STILL forced to pay child support. My ex had presented statements to the court that I had not taken care of my children for two years!! The AG, without any evidence of that, was pushing super aggressively to take money from me and put me $50K into arrears!!! Roland was able to block that. Roland helped me understand the true strengths of my case and we created a strategy to drive that to a successful court hearing where I was granted Primary caretaker where the ex-wife only received 10-12 days monthly. About what it had been in reality. The piece that broke the case. Roland is very personable in court. He does not incite animosity from the opposition and works well with them to try creating a win/win scenario. In this case though, my ex had two attorneys on her team. In a move that pretty much broke the case open for my favor, Roland, quick witted and thinking on his feet, took an item of data and got my ex to testify to it, though she probably didn't have to do so. This particular item was key because it showed her amount of finances reported were in question. Based on this, the judge recalculated her reported income to a more realistic amount. Roland was very attentive to me, meeting with me hours before our case was to be heard to ensure I was calm and understood court protocol and answered any last minute questions I had before entering court. We agreed on flat fee instead of hourly billing, as my experience with other fathers shows they felt "robbed" of their finances by the entire process, including their attorneys. He has a schedule of costs that allow you to clearly determine what each item will cost. I could go on about him. I did at times express some doubts to him about what he was doing to drive my case... I'm a veteran at this so I would poke and prod him every now and then to get a reaction. My favorite response from him was his reiteration of how much experience he has at this. It's true. He may look like he is not being super aggressive at times, but that is all part of the strategy. A calm mind surgically dissecting the situation. We won!

I live in another state an decided to hire Mr. Barbosa's professional service to represent my divorce case in the Dallas county. Everything was handled aggressively and in a very professional matter from the consultation phone call until the divorce was finalized. Impeccable customer service from bot...h Marie and Roland himself. I would highly recommend the office of Roland Barbosa for any legal matters to anyone in the Dallas county area, they get the job done right the first time!

Roland is an intuitive lawyer that analyzes the details of the case and makes good judgement calls. My case lasted three years, so even with excellent counsel, it is possible to be abused by opposing counsel and the legal system. For each step of my tortuous divorce, he gave good, timely analysis a...nd expert advice. I very happy with his representation and his good judgement.

I would highly recommend Mr. Barbosa for your legal needs. When I was going through a tough divorce, I had so many questions and I didn't know what to do. I was stressed and lost and I wondered if I was making the right decisions. Mr. Barbosa took care of everything. He had my best interest at heart... and fought for my rights every step of the way. He was extremely patient and explained every detail so that I understood completely. His staff was amazing. When we went to court, he was very tough, knowledgeable, professional and sharp. I can not thank Mr. Barbosa enough for all he has done for my children and I. Everything was handled and settled quickly and I was able to make a fresh start knowing that I had the best Attorney behind me.
