Thank you

I am beyond grateful for the incredible support I received from Robert Tsai, a Board Certified Family Law Attorney referred to me by Jamie. To say he's amazing is an understatement; he's been an absolute blessing during one of the toughest periods in my life. Robert's responsiveness, thoroughness,... and genuine care have been nothing short of extraordinary. In a world where I've felt unheard and struggled for real assistance, Robert stood out. He took the time to ask meaningful questions, truly understanding my situation and concerns. His responses were not just legal jargon; they were genuine, heartfelt, and filled with a compassion that's rare to find in the legal realm. I've navigated through numerous lawyers, desperately seeking help, but Robert's authenticity set him apart. He didn't give me a runaround or sugarcoat things. Instead, he provided concrete, real-world solutions, ensuring that I felt seen, heard, and supported. This review will never be enough to express the depth of my gratitude. Robert not only guided me legally but also offered a compassionate hand that made a world of difference for me and my family. I genuinely hope that life showers him with all the success and blessings he deserves for being the remarkable and compassionate professional that he is. Thank you, Robert, for being a true guardian angel during a challenging chapter of my life.

Highly Recommended as a Fellow Attorney

I was looking for a family law attorney to help me, and Robert’s name had come up a few times as recommended on a local Facebook group for local lawyers. Robert was very professional, transparent and knowledgeable, and will cut to the chance to save you time and money. As a fellow attorney myself, I ...would highly recommend him.

Best Family Lawyer in the State

Hiring Robert was the best decision I ever made. He was not only professional and well spoken, but he also listened to each and every concern I had throughout the process. He always provided space at any time in the day to answer questions and alleviate the overall stress that's involved with a court... case. Having him on your side in court is a wonderful experience; he is so well versed in the law that he towers over the other lawyers. Robert truly saved me and my children. I highly recommend him for anyone needing an honest, no-nonsense, fight til the end attorney.

Not the hero Gotham deserves, but the one it needs!

I can’t say enough about what a phenomenal advocate Mr Robert Tsai is. He was not only efficient and effective in communication and execution, but also vastly experienced and knowledgeable in the law – allowing him to employ strategies as well as defend against tactics that make Family Law frustratin...g and arduous. I came to him with an extremely messy and complex situation, one that had been completely botched and intentionally delayed by previous counsel on both sides. Mr Tsai was an answered prayer after a year-long nightmare, as he finished the case with ease just two weeks after firing my previous lawyer! He was understanding and compassionate in my unique and dire circumstance, patient and honest in explaining the law, clever in finding creative ways to protect my best interest, professional in communicating with the court and opposing counsel, quick to reply to all of my messages, efficient in drawing up important documents and filing them with the court, worked tirelessly on weekends and off-days when the case heated up, and even consulted with a colleague of his in Austin who practices a different area of law on my behalf when he was there on personal holiday! If you want a true advocate who embodies the definition of a civil servant, who goes in overprepared to defend your interests, runs circles around opposing counsel, while saving you money in the process thanks to his efficiency and honesty, then learn from my mistakes and hire him from the start to represent you. There is way too much on the line – monetarily, but more importantly your own health/sanity.

One of the Best Family Law Attorneys in Houston - I Highly Recommend Robert Tsai

Robert Tsai, Senior Associate at Walters Gilbreath, successfully represented me in 4 different hearings. 1) Contempt of Child Support – Non-Payment against my Ex. We won 2) Deposition of my ex for the custody trial. Very well done. 3) Emergency Motion for Modification of Custody against my E...x. We won 1 out of 3. 4) Defended me on an Enforcement filed by my Ex. We won 5) Assisted Brian Walters at the final hearing. We won. As you can see, I had a very complex case. One that I would not wish upon any single father. My son and I were put through a very difficult time – all based on lies and deceit by my son’s mother. Here is what you get with Robert Tsai’s representation: a very smart attorney, a Baylor Law School graduate, extremely professional, honest, very prompt to respond to all my emails and texts, always kept me updated, answered all my questions and very patient. What I like about Robert the most is that he always had my best interest at heart. Robert’s method of questioning on the stand is aggressive – he will fight for you. Robert is clean cut, a sharp dresser and has a very professional demeanor in court. I truly believe that he is well respected by the Judges in the family courts. Robert also sympathized with what my son and I were going through, both personally and in court. Brian Walters is very fortunate to have this legal mind working at Walters Gilbreath. Robert Tsai is an exceptional attorney. There are so many great qualities that I admire about Robert Tsai. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone needing a family law attorney. I’ve seen him in court and he is a winner. Robert has my cell number if anyone needs to speak with a previous client. I would be more than happy to talk to anyone who is thinking about hiring Robert Tsai and Walters Gilbreath PLLC Law Firm.
