Outstanding Attorney!

After 3 years of a long and drawn out custody battle that was continually dragging on without any results, TJ Roberts came highly recommended. Within a matter of days, TJ had my case dismissed and worked out some major details to safeguard the best interests of my children and kept us from spending c...ountless hours in court. His knowledge of the law, attention to detail and tenacity by which he conducts himself in the legal arena on his clients behalf is second to none. TJ and his staff provided outstanding customer service, remained accessible and had quick response times for all my questions along the way. I highly recommend TJ Roberts and the Terry and Roberts Law firm.

A Real Pitbull

I hired TJ to represent me in my divorce and child custody case after my husband took my children out of state and refused to return with them. Not only did TJ do a phenomenal job representing me at my court appearance in Texas, he also found, vetted, and consulted with a lawyer in the state my husba...nd was located. He maintained constant communication with me throughout the entire process, answering endless questions, and providing thorough legal consultation that was honest and respectful. In the courtroom, TJ was a pitbull. The way he asked questions, presented information and evidence, and represented my best interests in the courtroom was amazing and highly effective. Not only did TJ work tirelessly to get me what I wanted, he made sure he fought for what was in the best interest of my children. I highly recommend TJ for a divorce and/or custody battle.

AFTER BEING TOLD THAT IT WAS TO SOON TO TAKE MY CASE BACK TO COURT TO MODIFY MY VISITATION ORDER BY A WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY IN FORT BEND COUNTY. I WASN'T GOING TO GIVE UP ...I HEARD ABOUT TJ ROBERTS . HOW HONEST HE WAS WITH HIS CLIENTS ..I DECIDED I WAS GOING TO GET HIS OPINION ON MY CASE . IF HE FELT... THE SAME WAY AS THE OTHER ATTORNEY THEN I WOULD HAVE TO JUST TOUGH IT OUT. .. WELL I TOLD HIM ABOUT MY SITUATION WITH MY LITTLE GIRLS MOM ..HE ASKED ALOT OF QUESTIONS. . REALLY LISTENED. . I DIDN'T SEE HIM LOOK AT HIS WATCH AT ALL!! AFTER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS AND ALL THE ANSWERS. . HE TOLD ME ..THAT HE WANTED TO LOOK AT A FEW THING BEFORE GIVING ME A DEFINITE YES ... BUT HE WAS ALMOST WANTED TO SAY YES RIGHT THEN...HE SAID BUT HE JUST HAD TO CHECK ONE THING BUT HE WOULD CALL ME AT LUNCH TIME THE NEXT DAY AND LET ME KNOW FOR SURE.. WHEN I LEFT HIS OFFICE I FELT PRETTY CONFIDENT... BUT STILL A LITTLE NERVOUS!!!! I THINK IT'S JUST THE UNKNOWN. . AND THIS IS ABOUT MY LITTLE GIRL...WELL SURE ENOUGH RIGHT AT LUNCH I GET A CALL FROM MR.TJ ROBERTS. ..HE TELLS ME HE FEELS GOOD ABOUT MY CASE AND DID I WANT TO GO FORWARD. ..

BUT MR ROBERTS TOLD ME "THAT WAS A GOOD THING,DON'T WORRY"!SO THEN THAT'S WHEN OUR ATTORNEY'S STARTED TALKING TRYING TO NEGOTIATE SO BOTH OF US CAN CO-PARENT OUR DAUGHTER AND DO WHAT'S BEST FOR HER ..AT THE END OF THE DAY..BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT SHOULD BE ABOUT ANYWAY!!!

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.
