I have received the highest rating by Martindale Hubbell and am listed in the guide as a Preeminent Attorney in my areas of practice. This rating is based upon surverys from lawyers and judges with whom I regularly work. I practice primarily Family Law and Criminal Defense. I have been recognized as a Texas Super Lawyer by Thompson Reuters for seven consecutive years (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 2023) I am dedicated to representing my clients during tough times including divorce, child custody and when they are charged with crimes whether felony or misdemeanor. Our five person team including attorney, Suzanna Johnson, who is licensed both in Florida and Texas are adept in assisting our clients in what is clearly a very stressful time.
After serving as an assistant district attorney in Houston (Harris County) I was honored to be selected as a Special Judge in the County Criminal Courts at Law. I've tried scores of felony and misdemeanor cases to a jury verdict. Experience Matters. I am also honored to serve as Presiding Municipal Judge for the City of Angleton. Integrity Matters.

Divorce representation
Jeff and his staff were amazing in handling my divorce. Him and Rachel guided me through thru the process step by step. They assisted in locating my ex and my children out of state the service process went smoothly and thru there guidance I was awarded primary custody. His team is very understanding ...
Randy, thank you for your kind words. I have shared them with Nikki and Rachel. We take pride in representing our clients and walking with them through what can often be a difficult time. Feel free to contact us if we can be of any further assistance. Respectfully, Jeff

modification and child support
I was a client of jeffreys and I honestly did not like the way he worked on my case, he did not fight for me instead was busy on Facebook while we were in front of the judge during a hearing, along with his assistant she did not finish my paperwork but did charge me for it, my previous orders stayed ...
The result of the hearing was what you were advised would occur given the evidence. I had worked out more favorable terms than were ordered by the court with opposing counsel, but you would not accept them. The only orders in place are Temporary Orders. I wish you well on Final Orders. I know it is difficult when given advice and counsel that you do not agree with to follow it. If you had accepted the terms we worked out with opposing counsel, your child's father would have begun with supervised rather than unsupervised visitation. You wished to deny your child's father all visitation despite independent evidence to support a court order to do so. You were advised of what the court would order and accepted the fact that the court would go against your wishes. You wanted your day in court and to be heard and were. When the judge gave the anticipated ruling, you were not surprised, just angry. I hope and trust that you will find another attorney to represent you on this matter. Best wishes to you.

Divorce
I was very informed of what was going through the entire event. All e-mails were answered promptly. This worked very well reducing the time I had to spend in Angleton. I plan to use Mr. Gilbert for all of my legal needs in the future.

Extremely Helpful
Jeff was able to help me, pro bono in a recent case. He was very knowledgable, attentive to my needs and quick to follow up on my requests. I trust Jeff 100% and would return to him if needed.
"I highly endorse Jeffrey. I worked with Jeff in the community and he is well respected among his peers and Judges. Jeff does excellent work for his client's and will diligently work hard for them. I would recommend Jeff to anyone."
"I had the honor and privilege of working for, and with, Jeff for well over a year. Jeff's commitment to providing his client's the highest quality legal representation is truly unparalleled. Jeff's has the innate ability to grasp the tenor and approach necessary with each differing legal matter. He is excellent at listening to his clients, understanding their individual needs, and then working diligently to accommodate those needs. While Jeff is an outstanding lawyer, he is even a finer person and I believe this speaks volumes about his character. I am honored to call Jeff a friend and I owe much of my success as a lawyer to the lessons and advice given to me by Jeff over the years."
"I've known Jeff for over 20 years. He is extremely smart, diligent and a very talented trial lawyer. He achieves outstanding results for his clients."
