Father fighting for custody and won with Kate!

Where to begin. After almost 2 years of litigation fighting for custody of my son, Kate Soulsby and her staff have basically become family. I am a single Father with no legal experience, so I had no clue what my rights were or that I even had a chance at winning primary custody. With Kate on my si...de, I was able to do just that. I knew I needed council, but knew absolutely nothing about the law, legal processes, or where to start. After hearing my situation, a friend (recently divorced) recommended I speak to her attorney and I am so glad I did. Kate and her team took immediate action, were patient, understanding, extremely responsive, and coached me through everything during some VERY STRESSFUL times. There were many instances I just wanted to give up and drop it all due to stress, financial strains, moving twice, and loss of faith…but Kate and June would always calm me down and reassure me I was making the right decisions. (Of course being my first time having to go through something like this, the thought crossed my mind - "Do they have my best interest in mind, or is this just Business") - After it is all said and done, I have to say that my best interest was without a doubt Kate's Business, and she is extremely good at what she does. I'm so grateful I listened and stayed in the fight to protect my child's best interest. I could not have done it without Soulsby Law. Highly Recommend this team!

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!!!

Excellent, Caring, Tough

Having been through a difficult custody case and then having an unexpected difficult situation arise that required an Attorney with experience, knowledge, and tenacity, I needed someone quickly due to the circumstances as well. Kate fit me in, and fought for my son fantastically! Her associate Frank ...also has many years of experience and her entire team is wonderful. She is responsive timely to emails and questions, and it is obvious she truly cares for her clients! I also found her billing to always be very fair and felt she tried to keep costs limited knowing this can be a costly endeavor for clients. Kate was successful in protecting my son and if I need services again, I will definately use Kate!

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.
