Intensity & Integrity

Jacqueline was professional throughout the process and helped me get my case to the finish line. She was attentive and listened to my concerns, but was also stern when I was trying to go in a direction that wasn't likely to prevail. She is intense about her work and cares about the outcomes of her ca...ses.

Amazing Powerhouse!

Jacqueline is a no nonsense powerhouse! I can't say enough nice things about her. She is not only professional but efficient and extremely good at what she does. She was able to assist me in getting custody little sister and did it super fast. I am so incredible thankful for her expertise!

Grateful Father

To all looking for an excellent divorce attorney, My situation may be just like yours. Alcoholism affects a family in many negative ways. For me, it lowered my self-confidence to the point were standing up and speaking out was difficult. I reached out to many attorneys getting as much advice as ...possible. Looked at their reviews, customer feedback and their experience. In the many consults and phone calls with the top 10 divorce attorneys in San Antonio, only one I felt could be my voice. Jacquline Kriebel was very confident, determined, assertive and yet had sympathy for my situation. During mediation and conference calls, she wasn’t intimidated by the other attorneys and there was no backing down from her. I feel there is no winning with divorce, however in the end, my children are with me and their life has changed for the positive. Thank you, Jacqueline Kriebel, for being my voice. Grateful Dad!

CPS Investigation

My sister and I engaged Jacqueline in January to represent us in a CPS investigation after my 6 year old niece was placed under a 30-day safety plan while my sister underwent alcohol detox and therapy. This was our first interaction with CPS. We used employer-provided services rather than the onerou...s services demanded by CPS. CPS threatened numerous times to move my niece into foster care. They also threatened a legal motion to participate in their services. They even claimed that they didn't have to talk to a legal representative. We would never have been able to navigate this process without Jacqueline, who is an expert not only in the law, but in the ways that CPS will try to manipulate and threaten. Jacqueline made the case that CPS services and involvement were not needed beyond the 30 days. My niece returned home after 30 days, and as of 3 months later, CPS has taken no further action. Jacqueline will fight for you and execute a plan with the highest probability of success. She will navigate the maze of CPS that you can’t see. We are completely satisfied and highly recommend Jacqueline.

Avvo Rating

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.
