Practice Areas

Divorce and Separation 30%

I have handled 100's of divorce cases. I offer realistic advice, providing my clients the information needed to make an educated decision about how best to proceed. I have litigation and trial experience so I can help my client negotiate or try cases ranging from complex property issues to simple dissolutions.

10 years

30%
Child Custody 20%

I have handled 100's of disputes regarding the custody of children, including requests for relocation. This litigation can be extremely traumatic for the family. This type of litigation requires experience and judgment. I offer experience in custody litigation, from initial child custody determinations to modifications of conservatorship and possession and access.

10 years

20%
Child Support 20%

I offer experience and knowledge to assist clients in setting and collecting child support. I work with private individuals and the Attorney General of the State of Texas in collecting past due child support. Additionally, I work with parents requesting to increase or decrease support payments depending on their current circumstances.

10 years

20%
Family 20%

I have handled 100's of cases involving custody, visitation, and support of children as well as all aspects of a divorce, including paternity issues, property division, property valuation and tracing, protection of separate assets, grounds for divorce, child custody, access and support, spousal support and more. This is family law in Texas.

10 years

20%
Mediation 10%

I am a proponent of mediation and arbitration. In mediation, a neutral third party assists the parties and their attorneys in reaching an amicable resolution of the dispute without the necessity of a final trial or hearing. In arbitration, the parties agree to submit the dispute to an arbitrator who will serve as their judge. Usually, this saves valuable time and money.

Caring Professional!

Annie has been through the ringer with me. She represented me vigorously and her understanding of the law is superb. She listened to me and looked for creative solutions. I recommend Annie Reed!

Travers and Travers literally brought our family together!!

Travers and Travers literally brought our family together. We had a rather unique experience, but Travers & Travers helped us through it every step of the way. We live in South Dakota and needed a referral for a lawyer in Texas. My sister is an attorney and asked around and everyone we talked to su...ggested Travers and Travers. So we took a leap of faith and it paid off for us big time. My initial phone call was with Sherrie and she immediately made me feel at ease. Travers & Travers took our case head on and did not stop until we brought our daughter home. They were very professional, but were also very human and friendly- that was very important to me. Mack went with us to court and mediation and he was able to keep us calm while waiting in between everything. He was very well spoken and had good charisma in the court room. Allison and Annilee worked on the background information, researching and helping us gather the information we needed to win our case. Travers & Travers explained things to us in terms we could understand, they were willing and able to answer any questions we had and never made us feel like we were bothering them. They were also very willing to work with us on our ability to pay for their services. Travers and Travers worked on our case as a family so anytime we needed anything; someone was there to help out. When our case was finished, Travers & Travers were more than just our lawyers, they were friends. They all had our best interests at heart the entire time. I know most people’s situations will be different than ours, but if you want a lawyer that is truly looking out for you, I would highly recommend Travers & Travers. Their kindness and willing to work hard for us, brought our daughter home and we will forever be grateful for them.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Not who you want on your side for a divorce

little communication, absolutely no results - not even temporary orders. Made commitments and did not follow through. I can go on and on. Eventually they fired me after they couldn't milk me for any more money. I found a new attorney and she is great compared to Annielee Travers Reed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
