    Divorce with Dignity. Many families are able to handle their divorce amicably and make their own decisions regarding their property and/or their children.

    15%
    Full service Family Law Firm focused on helping families through difficult periods of transition: Divorce, Pre/Post Nuptial Agreements, Estate Distributions, Child Custody, Child Support, Termination of Parental Rights, Adoption, Uncontested Divorce

I try to approach my cases by remembering that each case is about a family and not just a case file.  In my opinion it is a family lawyer's job to work toward as amicable a resolution as possible without failing to advocate for the wants and needs of the client.  In many cases healing can happen during the case and the parties complete the transition in their life with better communication.  However, in some cases we do have to zealously advocate for a client in a poor situation, at which time it is our job to fight for our client's best interest.  I also feel that it is my job to provide a client with all the options and potential consequences in a case.  Unfortunately, that sometimes means correcting my own client, but people hire us to protect them, not to always tell them what they want to hear.  (It comes better from me than a Judge!)  My goal is to help clients transition through the process with integrity and protection.

God sent.
I was thrown into a life changing situation with no means at our first consultation. I had enough money to pay for the consultation but didn't have the retainer amount to hire her at the moment. I left her office not knowing what I would do, she was very straightforward and kind. The next day I got a call from her saying she was taking my case if I still wanted her to that she couldn't sleep the night before for thinking about me. She was God sent blessing and her representation was above anything I ever imagined. Jamie won my case to my satisfaction completely. Thank you

Best Attorney in the DFW
I have worked with Ms. Taylor since the start of my divorce in 2017, it's conclusion in 2018 and every issue that has come up since. Through everything the other party has thrown at us (constantly losing counsel, backing out of agreements, and generally prolonging the case) she has handled every aspect in my case with urgency, attention to detail, and a grace that only she has. I'm amazed at how she is always able to anticipate the opposing parties next move. A little background on this issue, my son was back and forth to the doctor around Jan 2020 with breathing issues. Finally, he was diagnosed with severe asthma. He had to take different medications and be hooked up to machine several times a day. Then, Covid-19 hit in March 2020. During this time, he were still going to visitation and all parties were made aware of our son's condition and the doctor's recommendation. However, the other party did not follow these guidelines (i.e. taking him to parties) which put him as risk. Ms. Taylor handled this situation thoughtfully. She attempted to work with the other party outside of court and get him to agree to follow the doctor's recommendations and guidelines. Only when the other party refused, did we seek assistance from the courts. The judge ruled in our favor allowing my son to limit his exposure to Covid-19 while getting his asthma under control. I will be forever grateful to Ms. Taylor and her skills as an attorney for helping my family live a happy healthy life.

Best representation in difficult situations
My child custody and support was messy and having Jamie representing me instilled confidence that no matter the outcome, it was with the best interest of my children ALWAYS as first priority. Her attention to detail and intelligence is unmatched. I cannot express how many times she out maneuvered opposing counsel. She was able to get everything I asked for and more. I was completely satisfied with Ms. Taylor’s representation. I have suggested her to friends and family.

Messy Divorce with Children

Amazing Job
I am a single father raising 9 year old twins who recently found myself in family court at risk of seeing my family separated. I had a different attorney for the initial hearing and was not happy at all with the outcome. I then went to see Jamie and she agreed with the outcome and took over the case soon after. All I can say is that she literally saved my family. She adjusted the first hearing's visitation and child support, which amounted to almost double the amount my first attorney approved. Everything was done in an extremely professional manner and I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing assistance with family issues that require an attorney. Jamie kept my family together, I wish I could give more than 5 stars

A Relief During a Difficult Time
Jamie Taylor was my divorce lawyer and was able to add some light to the unpleasant time of divorce. My ex-husband's only involvement was signing the papers so it was nice to have Ms. Taylor there to answer the many questions I had, walk me through the court process, and all the way to the end with what to do with the finalized papers. Even with her busy schedule, she was quick to respond and attentive. A good friend of mine was also getting a divorce at the same time. She started before me and ended over a year after me. After hearing all of her complaints about her lawyer along the way, I am very happy I chose Ms. Taylor. I would highly recommend her to anyone and loved working with her!

Representation by Jamie Lynn Taylor
I am the divorced mother of three children and merely the fact that we are all not only surviving but moving forward with good lives I feel is almost entirely the result of my being fortunate enough to be represented by Jamie Taylor. This was my second filing for divorce which was not culminated as my husband promised to go to rehabilitation for a prescription drug problem. This did not happen and by the time I knew I had to proceed with a divorce for the second time I was truly desperate. My salvation was when I was fortunate enough to be referred to Jamie L. Taylor and for Ms. Taylor to not only take my case but to proceed to represent me in the most professional and diligent manner, yet always being totally concerned with my situation and my family's. Ms. Taylor was continually aware of all the ups and downs involving my case and knew, it seemed immediately, to know any and all that was required in every instance and always beneficial to my case. Of course this level of counsel provided me and my family, thankfully so, with the relief that comes when you have someone of Ms. Taylor's caliber handling many distasteful and critical matters continually thrown at her as well As I look back over the years from the time Jamie Taylor accepted my case, I feel that the moment she did it changed the lives of my family so much for the better there is not money enough to hire an attorney who could have contributed more in any way for my case and my well being and the well being of my family. We will always be indebted to her in more ways than she can imagine since we believe her to truly be a champion for her very grateful beautifully represented clients.

Recommend without reservation
My son, husband and I found ourselves in a very difficult situation suddenly fighting for the safety of a precious child we had only recently become aware of. The family law system was unknown to us and we were still trying to grasp the whole situation. With the guidance and direction provided by Jamie Taylor we were able to keep the child safe and establish a safe and happy home for the child. Because of safety issues for the child and actions of others, we found ourselves in court several times during this process. Jamie was always prepared, professional and represented the interests of our family maintaining our goal of “always do what is best for the child.” We recommend Jamie Taylor for child custody situations without reservation.

Great Attorney and friend
I had a very emotional, long, and trying custody case with Miss Taylor. She made the experience less stressful/painful and was very informative concerning the law as I was clueless to this whole process. She lead me through everything step by step and was there for me whenever I had concerns. My phone calls were returned almost immediately, my emails were answered promptly, and she became a friend who knew what I needed to hear. I am sure I wasn't easy to work with, being a mother fighting for her child and uneducated about the system, but she had a way, almost like a plan, for everything to work out. And it did!!!! I will never forget my wonderful Attorney, Jamie!

one grateful client!!!
Ms. Taylor successfully handled my custody case. I got results from her in about a month. She managed to get my case reviewed because I was not present at the first hearing and had lost my rights. I got back my kids, after she fought for me in court. for that I will always be thankful.

Personal professionalism at it's best!
As a mother of two young children facing an extremely, emotional divorce, I needed someone to represent me ethically and professionally. Ms. Taylor was diligent in leaving no page unturned or overlooked. She was thorough and paid attention to detail. Within her professionalism was a genuine person. She was empathetic at the appropriate times, always looking out for not only my best interest, but the best interest of my children. It was never about her, but always about me, her client. Ms. Taylor is an asset to any firm and will represent any client with honor and integrity!

Jamie Taylor saved me from a bad mediation divorce
I have to admit I did not fully understand the process of a mediation divorce when I entered into it. I was hoping to make our divorce process smoother while saving some money by not having 2 lawyers work out the details. Well after getting into the process and finding out that we both needed our own lawyers in addition to the mediation lawyer (that's 3 for those who is counting) I was so pleased to have been recommended Ms. Taylor. She reviewed the mediation paperwork and offered several changes on our first meeting. She handled the filing and the remainder of the process professionally while being cost conscious. I would not recommend a mediation divorce to anyone however, I would Highly recommend Ms. Taylor to everyone.
