I’d hire her again.

I hired Ms. Kriebel to handle my divorce. She was one of the most straight forward people I have ever met. She handled my divorce immediately. Super super aggressive. Before I knew it she had everything in place to get into mediation. She guided me through the process with honest advice and didn’t ta...ke any crap. She did it all in a few days, very quick. Jacqueline will take the most worry you can out of your divorce or court case. You will know it by how quick she knows what to do next. I’d hire her again, such a positive experience in the middle of a bad situation. Want to win? Give her a call.

Won sole conservatorship by jury trial on a high conflict custody case.

I found myself in the worst kind of hell as a struggling single mom after ending a very toxic relationship with my ex. Before I found Jacqueline, I had 2 different attorneys represent me, both of which only made my nightmare of a custody battle even worse and seemed to do little more than drain my ba...nk account and stall my case from moving forward in any way. After 2 years and almost $20,000, with no progress in my case, watching my young child suffer at the hands of a terrible co-parent, a stalling court system and unjust 50/50 temp orders, I finally found Jacqueline to get my case moving. She immediately got to work and did not waste my time or money. It was a complete feeling of relief and renewed faith and respect I found in having a competent council to represent me. I was finally able to see that light at the end of the tunnel. Jacqueline is very experienced and knowledgeable of the court system and family law. If you are looking for an attorney to support yours and your child’s best interest and also give it to you straight what to realistically expect in the result of your case, look no further! She is amazing at what she does and is absolutely on fire in the court room when it comes to defending you! She is unlike so many attorneys that only seem to care about your case when you give them that 1st paycheck then they put you on the back burner. I always had very easy and open communication with Jacqueline while she represented me. She always gave great advice on how to handle difficult situations with my uncooperative co-parent and directed my focus on the best things I could do to prepare for that final court date. Over time and after all the stress, I was able to stop sweating on all small stuff and look at the bigger picture. She made a very difficult situation for me in to a highly manageable one which allowed me to stop reacting to my co-parent out of emotion and start withdrawing from all of the conflicts and just focus on preparing for that final trial. I went into court with 4 very large very well organized binders full of evidence from the past 3years that made it very easy for Jacqueline and I to pull evidence we needed on the spot. I have never seen my ex become so unhinged as to when Jacqueline was cross examining him lying on the stand in front of a jury. She gave him the rope to hang himself and made him and his attorney look highly incompetent exposing their lies and underlining weak defense. Ultimately with Jacqueline’s strong presentation she made it clear that I was the best and most responsible parent that needed to be sole conservator of our child and that my ex was not someone I could co-parent with, but that he was merely in court to take vengeance on me for leaving him, even to the extent of using our child as a tool to hurt me while taking no parental responsibilities. I know now how rare it is to be awarded sole conservatorship in a custody case, and even if you think Texas is a "Mother State" it is not any longer. But Jacqueline was able to win me sole conservatorship by jury decision. My ex also wound up with just a standard visitation which seemed like an impossibility to get after 3 years under temp orders as joint conservators with him and 50/50 visitation. It was a long shot and Jacqueline made is seem like a cake walk when we finally went to court. In the end, after a 3 year case and week long jury trial, I can confidently say what an amazing attorney Jacqueline is. She has an extensive knowledge of criminal and family law which makes her a unique find amongst the pool of lawyers and prepared to handle almost anything, especially for a unique case like mine. Jacqueline was pretty much able to tell me the outcome of my case before it even ended she is so good! I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking legal council no matter your situation. If you want to feel confident in winning your case you need an attorney like Jacqueline Kriebel!

Expert Legal Representation

Jaqueline Kriebel became my legal counsel after she successfully got a family member out of a legal bind. Although she is known for and specializes in family, custody and separation cases, she should definitely not be underestimated in the court room. My specific case was DWI/MTR and she displayed th...e knowledge, the skill, and diligence that is so lacking in many defense attorneys. She built trust and was always attentive to my needs as her client. She is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom when dealing with the DA and my interests were alway at the forefront and above the easiest most convenient way out. As her office expands, I’m certain Kriebel Law, LLC is going to become synonymous with expert legal representation in a time when you can’t afford any missteps.

Helped me with a difficult Annulment

She turned my divorce that was filed in NJ into a TX annulment. Difficult case and she worked her magic to pull off an annulment. Text me back right away and was responsive in email. Would recommend her, she knows her stuff and was able to get my ex and her lawyer to do what we wanted.

Lawyer you can trust

Ms. Kriebel is amazing and worth every penny. As a single father fighting for custody there is so many disadvantages an obstacles to overcome. Jackie was deligent, knowledgeable and straight forward with all that was going on. There was never a doubt with my case she kept me up to date at all times ...and answered anytime I had any questions. When I started my journey to custody all that was said is the father can not win in Texas yet here I sit with the best outcome I could have imagined and it’s all due to Jackie. There is no person better and more knowledgeable to get you through such a tough situation. You think your chances are feeble think Kriebel.
