A rare find
My experience with Walters Gilbreath has been nothing but exceptional. A little over 3 years ago, I started my search for a new law firm to assist me in a child custody modification. I based my decision off of the reviews that I read. I wanted someone who was ethical and had morals. Not your typical attorney. Well, I found that with this law firm. Brian has always made time to listen to my concerns and on many occasions, help calm me down. Their entire office has been very nice and responsive.
Recently, I’ve had the pleasure of working with LaKisha Ledbetter-Anderson and Raya Jackson. These two ladies are wonderful! They are organized and efficient. Compassionate, warm and genuine, something I have found many lawyers lack. I honestly do not think I could’ve made it through my last hearing without them by my side.
I wish that I had them when I was going through my divorce back in 2007. I know I would not have had to deal with the issues that I’ve been dealing with. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is need of a good family law attorney.

A law firm team that stands by your side!!
I learned about Brian Walters and his law firm by word of mouth from a friend who had previously used the services of Brian's legal team for his own divorce case. As I walked out Brian's office following my initial one-hour consultation, I was convinced that Brian and his team consisting of Raya Jackson and Sheree Roberts had family-oriented values and would do everything in their capacity to prevent my family from breaking apart.
Brian patiently listened to my case history and specifically asked what I desired most as an outcome to the filing of my wife's divorce petition. I did not want the divorce. Since then, the team has taken prompt steps and provided advice that might help to save my marriage.
Raya is great at providing communication updates and getting things done. With her prompt actions, Raya nullified the potential damage that my case would have encountered because of lack of action from my unresponsive, previous lawyer.
Sheree sensed my anxiety and helped me stay calm not only during my first visit but continues to do so during every phone call or visit I have to make to the team's office. Sheree understands my emotional pain and with her kind words, encouraging attitude and her prayers for restoration of my marriage, offers me hope.
Thanks to the efforts of Brian and Raya during mediation, I am able to visit our daughter at a frequency that had not been possible earlier without their help.
Although Brian's team primarily works on family law cases, they also extended help to me by offering referrals for criminal defense and immigration lawyers that I may need for my case.
I find the work that has been done by Brian's team until now commendable and express gratitude for their help with my case!

Spoke with Sheree and Slav and I'm so thankful.....
With my case I was at a pure loss and didn't know who to trust who to believe nor who to spend my money on. First of all, the fact the staff (Sheree) called me back on weekend hours listened, educated me, and passionately informed me of the steps needed. I called to schedule my consultation, the information taken so effortlessly afforded the Attorney suitable information to advise me of my next steps. I will definitely be calling this firm back if needed after doing my part. I'm confident this firm is passionate about the law and doing what's right not all about collecting dollars and pushing paperwork. Thank you so much for making me feel confident in the justice system again.
Sincerely,
Now A Single Mother With Hope

Stop your search here.
This was my first divorce and after this journey the only divorce I’ll ever go through. At the beginning I had gone to very many free consultations with other attorneys That ended up with me crying in the car afterward in fear and worry and just extreme frustration of no questions answered and the idea of how it was gonna ruin me financially. After giving up on my search I later was referred to this law firm by someone I sold my wedding ring to. I’ll Call this moment in time fate as I look back on it now. I gave the free consultation with Brian one last try before giving up and crawling under a rock. He called me back after I left a message very quickly and to my surprise after an hour conversation on the phone I had a clear understanding of what was going to or could happen. He answered all my questions without me asking. I felt so confident that I was in the right hands and that he would do everything he could in my best interest with compassion and care. After I retained this firm I was introduced to Raya, from the beginning she was patient and concerned just as much as Brian and this made me immediately comfortable with sharing details of my case with her. So at this point I felt like this firm all around and everyone involved cared a ton about their clients. going through what I was going through I truly needed this. My divorce lasted about a year, because my ex husband made it difficult of course.....but Raya pushed through it with me. And when I say “with me”,I mean she stayed invested. She never brushed off any of my calls or emails. She was always there and took the time out to reassure me that things were being done and explained anything I didn’t understand. She stayed on it and was very proactive. To walk in a courtroom or be in the middle of a divorce is gut wrenching and stressful, painful and can break you. But with Raya as my attorney I had the help of staying strong through it and felt protected. To have the confidence through this process that she was able to provide to me was a blessing. Thank you Raya. Thank you Brian. You two truly are what made this process survivable for me and my family. I’m forever thankful to you.

Best Lawyer!
I came to Brian with a post-divorce issue, I was very skeptical of lawyers since my prior experience was not anywhere near as positive as my experience with Brian.
Brian is a very experienced lawyer who takes the time to understand your circumstances and to educate you in the process and potential outcomes. After my interactions with him and the advice he provided, I feel very comfortable with the outcome of my situation and would continue to use his firm for other matters.
If you are looking for a great lawyer, Brian is your guy!

Brian Walter - Best Divorce Attorney - Read Why
Went through a divorce that was complicated by a shared business with my ex. His initial consultation sold me as he gave me the best advice regarding how to divide and move forward with the jointly-owned business while protecting my share of assets. He was always available (especially by email early in the morning). He did an excellent job of keeping prices down by spending his time on the right strategy, and then he let his team of paralegals and junior attorneys execute the work (at very favorable rates). His no nonsense and pragmatic approach to challenges, and his rapid actions following, made me a raving fan of Brian Walters. I have and will continue to recommend him without hesitation. He is a true professional with an exceptional understanding of family and divorce law as this is his specialty. Rarely do attorneys get such glowing reviews, but Brian has earned this and deserves the accolades. Keep up the good work Brian and many thanks to you and your team for a job well done! All the best and continued success.

Greatful
I can start by saying that i am a father of a 15 yr old son. I contacted Brian and his staff for legal services. In the beginning i paid a consultation fee and explained to Brian my situation. I told Brian I reside in a different state over 1000 miles from my son's residence and Brian being very confident as he is, told me "it would not be a problem". Brian and his legal staff replied to emails in a quick response and returned phone calls in a timely manner. Honestly, i thought it was going to be a long term custody case but ended quicker than we expected. To be honest i have NEVER met Brian and his staff in person, we only knew each other by phone and email. Brian I still hope to meet you and your great staff in person one day! Thank you is a small word for what you and your staff have done to help me reunite with my son. I highly recommend Brian and his law firm and would give them a 10 STAR rating!!!

Brian Walters
I have only good things to say about Brian Walters and his team. Mr. Walters was able to schedule my consultation quickly and advise me on what steps I needed to take. Brian took the appropriate actions regarding the filing and putting temporary orders in place. This was extremely helpful considering our short timeline to do so. Anytime I needed advice or had questions Brian was always there. Brian and his team have always shown me courtesy and respect. Mr. Walters does care about his clients. Brian is always calm, patient and steadfast, unlike some of the other attorneys I consulted. His relaxed, confident demeanor instills trust and he has demonstrated his trustworthiness throughout the process. You can hire a number of good attorneys in Houston at all price points, I chose Brian Walters because he is the best.
