James R. Hedlesten

I came to James with a unique situation in which my ex wanted to enforce a geographic restriction despite never having lived in or around Harris County. I called several attorneys prior to calling James, and could not get any to look past me having moved without first modifying orders (which I won't... do again). James quickly gathered that my ex could be bully and petty, and came fully prepared to our hearing for enforcement. Over the course of the two hours we waited at the court, I witnessed James negotiate calmly with my ex and his attorney. We came to an agreement that met each of my requirements and did not compromise on anything I wanted. James kept me calm, even when I wanted to lose my temper. I am blown away by his demeanor, his passion for his work and clients, and his ability to diffuse any fears I had before and during the process. I was initially impressed by the way he heard me and got to the root issue with my ex. I am extremely grateful for his firm, and will happily recommend Hedlesten Law to any person who needs a caring and knowledgeable attorney.

I cannot speak more highly of James and his associate Kellie. I was in a difficult situation with my husband regarding substance abuse and our small children. James and Kellie worked quickly and effectively to ensure the kids and I were safe and settled - I couldn't be more grateful to both of them. ...James and Kellie also stayed extremely supportive, engaged and effective for the entire 9 months until we reached an agreement. James and Kellie were both always available to me, quick to respond and they both always made me feel like their #1 priority. We ended up having a harder-than-anticipated mediation, and I could not have gotten through it without the two of them by my side. James and Kellie went above and beyond to ensure we didn't have to go to trial and that my children and I are safe and secure to start this new chapter of our lives. Don't hesitate to hire James!

James is an amazing attorney. I came to him completely broken, 0 confidence and no hope. I had spent 9 years with a narcissist and had previously signed an agreed order that was truly absurd. James gave me the confidence to stand strong and believe in my case. James was extremeley professional an...d very knowledgeable. He fought for me and my childern in that court room and never missed a beat during the whole process. If you are looking for an attorney that will go the extra mile for your case, James is your guy! His staff is phenomenal and very commutative. His expertise and knowledge of the law is above and beyond. I will be forever greatful of both him and his staff!

Mr. Hedlesten demonstrated excellent discernment, communicated well in and out of the courtroom, and was persistent, passionate, and prepared in and out of the courtroom. He had a no "BS," type of style while maintaining and fostering a safe and calm environment for me through a very delicate time as... a parent. James and his team were consistent about addressing the client first, and court and cash second. Throughout my research while hiring and the actual legal proceedings, I was baffled at the amount of attorneys who do not manage their time well and ultimately end up charging the client, unfairly. I needed a self and socially aware attorney who was knowledgeable and would ultimately secure justice and he did it!
