Robert Tsai helped me win!

The worst thing in the world happened to me. I had to file for divorce. I had no choice and needed to get out of a toxic relationship. I was scared and unsure what to do. I have never even been in a court room. I hired Robert Tsai. Robert made the entire process smooth, and he explained every legal d...etail. He was efficient and always responsive— Robert gave me peace of mind. I felt supported throughout the whole legal process. I never felt alone with him. Robert really helped me thru hardest time of my life. The divorce was extremely difficult. Robert showed compassion and understanding. Robert Tsai helped me win primary custody of my son—I will forever be grateful to him! I highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking counsel!

Honest, upfront, professional, thorough, helpful, patient, bright, efficient, hardworking, passionate

Robet was incredibly professional and efficient in handling my divorce on very short notice. Most lawyers try to nickel and dime different fees but Robert was always to the point, he does not waste client's time in order to keep billing them and he is very thorough with his work. Divorce is obvio...usly a difficult situation, but if you are in Texas and need it handled quickly and simply, then I'd wholeheartedly recommend Robert. Robert did exceptionally wonderful job with my divorce. I can say that “I am blessed and thankful to have an Attorney like him." He is very smart and knowledgeable. He is very upfront and honest. He gave me sound advice on things I could compromise on, what points were worth standing my ground for and it helped me find a good balance that would work best for my kids and me. He was able to guide me towards right direction so that I can heal. He usually responded to my emails and calls within 5 minutes that is exceptional service. He will do the best for you. I really appreciate everything Robert has done for me. We were set to go for trial a day after his first child was born and despite being on vacation he prepared for my case and stood by me in trial. I am so thankful and I really appreciate everything Robert and Brooke did for me during those tough times. Robert is so passionate about his work and I would have not made it without the support they provided.

Exceptional Service

I cannot speak highly enough of Robert. Throughout my divorce he clearly explained the law as it pertained to my case. He included me in all correspondence with opposing counsel and responded to emails and text messages quickly (even while on vacation). In fact, Robert handled every facet of the divo...rce (filing, agreements, etc.), even though I was not the party asking for divorce. During mediation Robert aggressively argued my case, and if it became necessary, I was completely confident in receiving a “fair shake” in court. My primary focus was on custody of my children, which as DAD, thought impossible (it’s not!). Without his counsel, I am certain the outcome of my divorce would have been less than ideal (for me and my children).

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.

Communicative, Understand, and Honest

Robert helped me settle a custody case and he was great. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone. Robert was communicative, understanding, and honest. I have worked with a few other attorneys in the past, but will never go to anyone else. Thanks for everything!
