Custody case

I hired Ms. Coleman years ago for a divorce. I had to rehire her to help me gain a termination of rights from my ex husband who had been absent from my daughter's life for many years. He came back into her life and demanded to see her even though years had past with no visits, no phone calls. no ch...ild support and no medical payments. He was able to get a high priced attorney for "FREE". He filed a contempt on me believe it or not!! I never filed anything in all the years because he was so gone from the picture. Little did I know what he would do when he decided to be a father. I hired Ms. Coleman who didn't make promises but gave me facts. She fought our case for over a year. She was completely thorough in her findings and filings. She knows the law and is extremely well spoken, well learned, and fights the fight. I love her and recommend her as often as I can. My ex voluntary relinquished his rights and my daughter was adopted my husband who she has called "daddy" for many years. This was all because of Ms. Coleman's knowledge of my rights. She never let me make a mistake and always picked me up after a let down. She cried with me, laughed with me and at the end rejoiced with me.

WONDERFUL ATTORNEY

I would absolutely recommend Ms. Coleman for any family law case (and I have -- many times over). She is the most knowledgeable attorney I have ever dealt with. She is very highly regarded in the Harris County Family Courts. Ms. Coleman is honest, forthright, and determined to do right by her clie...nts. Her fees are reasonable. Her results are fabulous.

Great attorney

I have used Ms. Coleman on many different occasions. She is very knowledgeable of the law, see does not try to sugar coat a case and will be straight forward with what she believes is in your best interest (if you are her client). I will continue to utilize the services of her office in the future. I... would recommend that if anyone needs a family law lawyer to call her office.
