Prenuptial agreement

I used Karri for a prenup under a very tight timeline. Karri and her team had it completed, within the timeline, with zero issues! Even my new spouse was impressed! Karri was kind, respectful, efficient, and produced quality work that didn’t need redoing, saving me a lot of money. Thank you Karri and... team!

Passionate LGBTQ+ friendly lawyer

Karri Bertrand is an amazing lawyer. She helped support me through a difficult situation in pursuing custody of my half siblings. We are an LGBTQ+ family and I had a lot of fear around those issues and how if would affect my case but I could hear the passion in Karri’s voice on the topic and knew she... would always be willing to fight for our family.

Best Family Law Practice

I am forever grateful to have had the support and expertise of this amazing team during one of the most challenging times of my life. As an LGBTQIA+ individual, I felt seen and understood by their knowledgeable and compassionate approach to family law. They skillfully guided me through a messy divorc...e and later helped me navigate another suit filed by my ex, showcasing their exceptional expertise and dedication. What impressed me most was their direct yet empathetic communication style, which made a huge difference in my ability to cope with the stress and uncertainty of the process. Their knowledge of family law, was evident in the way they handled my situation. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone going through a similar experience. Their professionalism, expertise, and support made a significant difference in my outcome, and I appreciate the time they took to ensure I felt informed and empowered throughout the process.

Outstanding Legal Expertise for Our Lesbian Family in Texas

My wife and I reached out to Karri at KB Law when we realized that, as a lesbian couple in Texas, we needed legal help to ensure both of us were recognized as our daughter’s parents. While we were both on her birth certificate, that document is only considered a Medical Document, and we would need Fu...ll Second-Parent Adoption recognized by the courts to legally assign Parental Rights. From our very first consultation, it was clear they had extensive knowledge of LGBT family law and knew exactly how to guide us through the Texas legal system. Their communication was top-notch—emails and calls were always returned quickly, and they patiently explained every step of the adoption process. With their hard work and expertise, our daughter is now legally protected with two moms, and our family feels complete and secure!
