Taly Thiessen is a battle-proven Houston family law and Houston criminal defense attorney at Thiessen Law Firm. In addition to being licensed in Texas, she is also licensed in Kansas and Colorado. She was born and raised on a ranch in Plains, Kansas. She attended West Texas A&M University, where she played basketball and soccer and graduated cum laude in 2007 with a B.S. in Mass Communications/Broadcasting. Next, she attended law school at Texas Tech University School of Law.
During law school, Taly clerked for the Law Office of Mark Snodgrass, helping with criminal defense, family law, and litigation. She also had an internship with the Innocence Project of Texas, supporting their initiative in overturning wrongful convictions and securing freedom for men and women wrongfully imprisoned for crimes they did not commit.
After graduating from law school, Taly continued her employment with Mark Snodgrass, as an associate in his firm, for the next 5 years. Since that time, she has expanded her practice to include juvenile law and family law cases such as divorce, child custody cases, and child support issues.
While in Lubbock, Taly was the President of the Lubbock Criminal Defense Lawyer’s Association and served on the board of the Lubbock Bar Association. Taly is regularly and actively involved in several civic and charitable organizations, including The Junior League of Lubbock, Paul’s Project, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and Food2Kids.
In late 2016, Taly made the move to Houston, Texas, to begin work with the Thiessen Law Firm. She is excited to bring her criminal knowledge to the firm as well as expand their family law client base. She understands that in Houston child custody and divorce cases, every family is unique. Whether you need an aggressive advocate or compassionate attorney, she will take the time to listen and understand your specific needs. Her goal is to give each client an honest appraisal of their situation so they can make informed decisions.
Taly is licensed by the Supreme Court of Texas.

Bar far the best
Taly is honest, sincere and brilliant at what she does. She has a very strong court room presence and is always on time. When it comes to legal matters regarding your children, I would only trust her to give me the best advise. I referred her to one of my friends and he was also very happy with the...

Exceptional
She went above and beyond to handle an extraordinarily complex legal issue bridging both family and criminal issues. She not only resolved the matter in an expedited manner but did so for a nominal sum. Anyone that chooses another lawyer is shortsighted and has not done his/her homework about Taly....

Grand Jury Appearance
Met with Taly to discuss an appearance in front of the Brazoria County grand jury for aggravated assault case. She advised me to not answer any questions from the jury as she felt they would not ask me to appear before them if they had a good case against me. In other words, they were hoping I would ...

Taly Jacobs, "The Right Choice"
I would highly recommend Taly Jacobs as a defense attorney. In my opinion Taly is a strong, intelligent female that has a real presence about her when she walks into a room. I believe she is the perfect female attorney to represent a person who is facing serious criminal allegations or charges. In...
"Professionalism recognizes professionalism. We are both qualified attorneys in Family Law arena; but where certain aspects of a case that raises unfamiliar fact scenarios the other attorney experiences on a frequent basis; neither one of us is shy about tapping in the legal wisdom and helpful tips from the other. We happily help each other out. I endorse this attorney."
"Just to be upfront, I work with Taly in the Thiessen Law Firm. However, over my almost two decades of practicing law, I have never seen a more aggressive and take no bs lawyer. She goes to the mat and does not back down from anyone when it comes to getting what is absolutely best for her clients."
"Taly is my go-to lawyer for family law cases. She is one of the hardest-working attorneys I know. Her dedication to her clients is undeniable, and her devotion to getting what her clients need is relentless. Whenever I have a question about family law she's the first person I contact."
"Yes, she is my wife. But we also try a lot of high profile cases together. And I get to see behind the curtain at her work. She is ALWAYS over prepared. She works so hard for her clients and is constantly on the phone helping them. She is way more patient than me. I also think that the DAs office and other lawyers like her alot more than me because she is calmer and more rational than I. we are a great team together, but secretly: she is the boss. I listen to and respect her analysis. So should yall. Any client would be lucky to have Taly fighting for her. I lose almost every argument against her."
"Stays informed and on top of her game. Taly doesn’t flinch in the midst of controversy, rather she thrives in it. If you seek a fighter, you found one in her. I endorse this lawyer."
"Talk Jacobs is a very professional and intelligent attorney. We have worked together on cases, as well as against each other on cases. She is a very aggressive advocate for her clients in family law and criminal defense."
