Just great

I highly recommend this law firm for your family matters. Miss Taly and Miss Crystal were very nice, communicative and handled my case strongly. Kept me updated Thru every step. Consulted with me first before taking any step further. Cost to hire this law firm might be out of budget for some people b...ut it is worth every penny, in the end its better to hire a reliable lawyer Werther is pricy or not instead of finding a cheap one that won’t represent you the right way. At Taly Thiessen law firm you will find comfort they are pretty flexiable working with you. Keep this in mind as any other lawyers they charge you for every in/out calls or email so don’t be bugging with nonsense questions, let them do their job and they will definitely reach out to you when it’s necessary. Prolly the best Lawfirm around in the houston area. Thanks Taly and Crystal.

She did what other lawyers wouldn't even attempt

I am so greatful I found Mrs. Thiessen. She was able to get me sole custody of my two kids and their last names changed to mine. All the other lawyers I had consulted with in the past said that a judge most likely wouldn't grant a name change and didn't want to even try. Mrs. Thiessen had her doubts ...but she was not scared to try. She actually listens to what you want and goes after it! Also, Cindy at the front desk is so nice and accommodating. She always made my visits so pleasant.

Happy would be an understatement.

Mrs. Thiessen was amazing. She and her team handled everything perfect. I feel so lucky that I had such great representation. She was clear, straightforward, honest, and scary smart. You definitely know she is on your side. If you follow her instructions things will work out in your favor. I would on...ly recommend Mrs. Thiessen and The Thiessen Law firm. A huge thanks from me to them.

Brilliant Attorney!

Hiring Taly Jacobs was by far the smartest legal decision I made over the last 6 years. Prior to Taly, I endured a long divorce followed by an even longer custody dispute. Taly stepped in and within days, genuinely restored my faith in family law attorneys. She is a no- nonsense, fast, smart, and ...extremely responsive attorney. Living out of state created some issues that could only have been overcome by her understanding and knowledge of the law. In addition, Taly went above and beyond to educate me, inform me, and represent me to the fullest in a time frame that seemed impossible. She exceeded my expectations and for that I, as well as my children, are forever grateful. Taly is extremely bright, and a true gift to the legal profession as well as her clients. While I hope that I do not need her services again, I enthusiastically recommend Taly Jacobs, without reservation.

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... my case, I felt that my back was against a wall and it seemed everyone was just assuming I was guilty. Taly actually listened to my side of the story and she seemed very confident that she could represent me well. I felt like Taly took a personal interest in clearing my name and providing me with a strong defense to the allegations and charges against me. My case was "no billed" by the Grand Jury shortly after hiring Taly as my defense attorney. She presented a packet to the Grand Jury on my behalf and I was very pleased with the content of this packet. Taly also took the time to really explain all legal matters to me in simple language. If you are wanting a very persuasive, highly effective female attorney to represent you in your particular situation, Taly is definitely "the right choice". Thank you Taly for your strong representation in my case.

"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."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
