The Best Ever!

Where do I begin? This has been a long and stressful journey. But every step of the way Kate and her team guided me, helped me understand, kept me in the loop on things, made sure I had everything prepared and ready. They really care and truly show compassion when it comes to their clients. She sta...yed confident throughout this 2 year long custody battle. When it was all said and done she got the job done. Even when I doubted myself and got frustrated Kate and her team always reassured me that everything would work out. The knowledge and confidence that she has is like no other that I have seen. Best lawyer that I have come across and if you are looking for someone that will have your back and fight tooth and nail for you, this is the person you want. Amazing Team I can’t say it enough. Just google Best lawyer in Texas and her name should pop up at the top spot!

Best I've Had!

I have been dealing with a VERY complex definitely not your average child custody case that has been going on almost 4 years now it's always getting pushed back or at a stand stilI have retained attorney after attorney. Some didn't really seem to care about my case, some were afraid of the opposing c...ounsels attorney, didn't want to take my case because of the complexity of it, or some were just simply not educated. When I started looking for a new attorney at the beginning of the year, I came across Kate Soulsby's firm. From the moment I called her and explained my case she sounded VERY confident, and made me feel like it was the right decision to go with her. She has always been available, communicates very effectively and quickly. Everyone who works with her are very attentive and hard workers just like her. Kimberly Hall, June Maldonado, and Stephanie, are all respectful and kind. Kate was the first attorney that I've had that was not intimidated but the opposing parties attorney as my previous attorneys were. I have trial next month, and I am anxious and nervous but feel VERY confident with having Kate and her team represent me. If you're looking for an attorney who wants to sincerely fight for you and your situation, and KNOWS their stuff, I'd highly recommend Soulsby Law!!!

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.

Custody and Child Support

In 2015 and 2016, I hired Kate for custody and child support orders. I was a single mom; my daughter was not quite 2 and I was 5 months pregnant. From the first meeting, Kate did such a great job at allaying my fears. She worked with me to make everything affordable, and she had my best interests in ...mind as well as those of my children. She made the whole process as easy as possible and was always very responsive. And that includes her staff as well; any time I reached out, they were warm and professional and nothing but helpful. I got everything I wanted and even more so, everything I deserved. And this was even with briefly reconciling with my ex after the birth of our son which was after I initially retained her in 2015. When I went back to her, I was concerned that my credibility would be questioned, but she was very understanding and my brief lapse in judgment didn't hinder any progress we had made after all. It was such a difficult and emotional time for me and I'm so thankful I found Kate. I have referred co-workers to her and they have also had nothing but good things to say. I would hire her again without hesitation.

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.
