Child Custody Dispute

Kate and her team have been representing me in a long running child custody dispute and have been nothing but amazing! The other party in my case hired a top San Antonio attorney at the start of the case so I was very worried. Thanks to Kate's no nonsense approach, and professional demeanor in all of... our proceedings I have had to worry about nothing since hiring her. I highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of representation in family court!

Custody modification and post divorce assets

I had a very complex custody modification and post divorce asset issue and the Soulsby law firm was always there to help me and was extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I worked with Frank and Kate and they were awesome especially in court, which makes the biggest difference in a ca...se. At the end of the day I ended up with primary custody of the children, and being a father, that’s not easy here in Texas. I also received 50% of the post divorce assets. I would definitely recommend the Soulsby Law Firm to anyone in a tough custody battle. And I would use them again. They also worked with me on a payment plan, that was very reasonable and very helpful. Thank you for everything.

Overall Excellent Attorney

I write this with all honesty and high regard to the Soulsby Law Firm. This is the first time I had been involved in any family custody case or been exposed to any of these proceedings. Everyone was very patient and understanding at all times. I will admit, I was frustrated sometimes and did not see ...the whole picture. No one ever lost patience with me, but continued to provide support for me. Our case was not typical or by far simple. There were a lot of variables with even attempts of termination of my rights. Never did anyone at the firm get discouraged or try to take the easy road. When we got close to starting trial and at the beginning of it, I saw the dynamics of the firm at work. Not of a few, but of the entire firm. They worked seamlessly as a unit to accomplish the goals set each day. The experience of each individual, to include the separate talents of each, solidify and make the firm even stronger. From the total experience accumulated by Kate and Frank ,as the attorneys, was indispensable. The persistence and brilliance of their paralegal June and the added knowledge of other angles by Chris who is a licensed social worker made each effort greater. Each and everyone was instrumental to the success of our case. It was amazing to see each other augment efforts to make each other better. At the actual case, Kate handled it beautifully. Kate was never deceitful but honest and tactful. As a military vet, she demonstrates the core values we strive for such as integrity, service before self and excellence in all we do. The rest of the team were also there and added so much insight that our case grew stronger each day. I cannot thank them enough. I was awarded primary custody of my daughter and from what I hear, in Texas for the fathers to get custody it is not easy. My wife and I will be forever grateful to the Soulsby Law Firm. We actually consider them very close friends now. Would I recommended them? Without question and a doubt.

The right attorney for the job!

When it comes to divorce you have your entire life on the line... I hired Kate to represent me in a tough and ugly divorce. In family law, most fathers don't get equal rights and treatment. Through out the entire year long process Kate used the letter of the law and her refined skill set to fight for... my daughter and assets. She always showed up prepared for court. Between her and her team she understands how to get best outcomes in all situations. If your looking for a passionate lawyer where money isn't the only thing look no further. She is a God send. Great job Kate.

The Best Lawyer Ever

Kate Soulsby is the best child custody lawyer in San Antonio hands down. I am a single Dad of two beautiful children. I wasted thousands of dollars prior to hiring Kate that did not have the passion and knowledge to handle my case. Her staff is also very understanding and knowledgeable. They have alw...ays kept me in the loop with constant communication never being left in the dark. It's not just another paycheck with Kate. She has become an extended part of my family. If you want someone to fight for you she will be by your side all the way through the end and even after that. Her court room experience is impeccable! She is not just another lawyer that is trying to take your money, she actually cares. I am so thankful that she has been in my family's life.
