Awesome Experience

Saedra Pinkerton handled my divorce in an understanding and kind manner. Some girls of my questions maybe have been routine or unimportant to a lot of people but they never made me feel like I was a bother or stupid; all the questions I asked were respected and responded to in a timely manner. I woul...d recommend this office to everyone I know. I would give them an 10 on a scale of 1 to 10!

Divorce after almost 20 years...

I found Saedra through the Dallas Law Attorney referral system as I was filing for a divorce from my ex husband of almost 20 years. She was very sympathetic, very sweet and very thorough and made it as simple and easy for me. She stood by me through this whole ordeal and fought for me til the end. I ...did win my case and she made me feel confident even at times when I almost wanted to give up. I would highly recommend her and if in the future, should I need services again, I will be calling her firm.

Satisfied Client

Me & my husband are very blessed to have found our attorney, Saedra Pinkerton. She is very friendly & so inviting. It's never easy understanding legal documents or legal terms. Saedra made me feel confident and explained all my legal concerns. She makes you feel like a friend and not just a client. ...I would like to also, comment on her paralegal Brenda for all her help. She was a great help. What a team! I highly recommend Saedra Pinkerton. Thank you for all your help! I look forwarding to doing more business with you. Christine & Adam

Trustworthy

Saedra is a great attorney. She is the only family law attorney who I would recommend to friends and family. She cares about her clients and there wellbeing. She has helped my family and I with multiple issues and was always very helpful with the legal advice we received.

Compassionate and personable

A friend of mine referred me to Saedra as I was contemplating filing for divorce. The first time I spoke with her, I immediately liked her. When I was finally ready to file, I called her back and hired her. I felt like she cared about my case and didn't just view me as a client and income. Severa...l times, the night before a court hearing, she would call at 8 or 9 in the evening to go over everything to make sure we were both prepared. I still send her updates on my daughter and myself, and April will be two years since my divorce was finalized. I would highly recommend Saedra to anyone.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Saedra for many years. She is an excellent attorney: caring and compassionate with her clients but a fearsome advocate in the courtroom. I have sent many family law referrals to her over the years. These of been my clients, my friends, and even my family. Every time she has done an excellent job and I have gotten nothing but rave reviews about her in return. I heartily endorse Saedra for your family law needs. You could not find a better attorney."
