Dawn Anne Renken

First let me say...do not go into a divorce without your own attorney!!! I almost waited too long to hire Dawn. While on the phone, she pulled the information on the courthouse records she told me to get in as soon as I could that afternoon. It wasn't what was stated in the paperwork it was the a...mbiguous terms that were used. Dawn is direct, aggressive, very busy which sometimes makes her hard to reach and a darn good negotiator. She knows her stuff. Don't go see her if you want a shrink...go to her if you want to be well represented. Make sure your expectations are realistic and you will do well. The "friendly" divorce paperwork was full of open ended statements that would have cost me more than my legally fair share. With that being said she warned me right from the beginning that we are now negotiating a business transaction not a friendly settlement. You can go back to friendly after the divorce is final. You have to take care of your interests and Dawn will do that for you in legalese if you let her. Sometimes you wonder where she is going in her logic... but just sit back, watch and listen...she knows what she is doing. I think if I had been as aggressive as she suggested I may have done better...but I couldn't let go of the relationship. Remember if you are enlisting the help of an attorney (Dawn)...your relationship is over...so let her get down to business. She is very good in mediation. She understands how to effectively work through the process. She should since she offers mediation services in her practice. I think the most impressive thing and the sign of a well respected attorney is when we went to the courthouse (unfortunately we had to go), she was known by many of the court employees, officials and other attorneys that were waiting for their time slot. If you are reading this I am sorry you are having to go through it...but I think Dawn is a good choice. By the way she was recommended to me by another satisfied client.

Dawn has helped me multiple times over the past several years with modifications to my out of state divorce decree. She is always willing to explain the facts and processes of our procedures so I am confident in the steps we are taking. Her top priority is always to protect my interests and my daught...ers well being. Her experience leaves her well versed in all the court procedures. She works very efficiently helping to keep my costs down. I will continue to trust her for any issues that come up. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a confident, competent and efficient lawyer.

Dawn has represented me for over six years in a number of matters concerning family law. I found her to be realistic about what could be accomplished, a great communicator, responsive and judicious with her use of time and resources on my behalf. She is the one and only lawyer I would recommend. Ms.... Renken explained the Texas Family Code and carefully protected my best interests and those of my children. I have recommended her to friends and colleagues and will continue to do so as long as she is practicing law. I am extremely happy with all the services she provided and will always utilize her services for my legal needs.

This lady lost my case, charged me a ridiculous fees, and expected me to pay more. I was in a better position in my case before hiring her. She was a disaster and she not be allowed to practice. I even told her during the case I wasn't pleased with her. She didn't get any better, lost my case, and no...w I don't even get child support from the father. This lady is a huge screw up and she BEGGS. her friends to post good reviews to deceive you. I'm a real mom who hired her and received poor service. She may have book smarts but she knows nothing about applying the techniques. Don't hire this lady. I'm telling you the truth. She even threatened me if I posted the truth about her. She's vindictive and she's highly intimidating. She's only out for your money and doesn't care about the client. It's all about the money with her.

WOW! How can words express! YOU ROCK! YOU JAM! YOU ARE AMAZING! NOTABLE! DETERMINED! WELL KNOWN IN THE COURT ROOM- AND IN THE LEGAL COMMUNITY AS A VERY SHARP AND EXPERIENCED ATTORNEY! ADVOCATE FOR JUSTICE! I turned to Dawn after I had been battling for what seemed like half of my life in court as a s...ingle mother who was at a disadvantage of being able to obtain legal counsel throughout a long term custody and child support matter that originated in Florida. Then I turned to Dawn! After becoming a resident in Texas, my custody case had been transferred and in spite of fighting tooth and nail against a non custodial parent who had discredited himself over and over, yet still tried everything legal and illegal to obtain custody and child support, Dawn stepped in and showed just what TEXAS FAMILY IS ALL ABOUT! Her focus was on the needs and interests of my daughter from day one! Not only did she over throw and over turn all odds in my case, she got me and my daughter REPAYMENT, FREEDOM, and PEACE OF MIND! Would I recommend this attorney? YOU BET YA! - Thank you so much Dawn- A million thanks to you and your staff! You have been a light for my family during very dark times and forever WE THANK YOU!
