Jake is the attorney one should hire for representation especially if the case is family law and involving child custody. We took the "high road" on most all issues and the final decisions in the case were all on my side and in mine and my children's best interests. Advice and logic was spot on, co...urtroom demeanor stellar, and mediation negotiation sharp. Jake returned calls promptly, followed through on the myriad of details, and held my hand, so to speak, through the difficult emotional stages to help me see the light at the end of the tunnel.

When Jake took over our case, it had been a thorn in our side for many years. He presented himself in a professional manner in the office as well as in the courtroom. He was respectful of our time, adhering to the appointment times, always punctual and prepared. We felt he retained the facts that we...re given to him about the case and they were organized and easily accessible if needed. When there were times that we needed to vent, and he was there to listen as well as empathize. He brought the case to a close in a reasonable amount of time and we would hire him again.

Words cannot express my gratitude for James "Jake" Gilbreath and his team. When Jake took on my case, I realized quickly that he was in it to make a difference. His compassion for every human, his passion for equality, his knowledge of the law and his tenacity surpassed what I ever could have expect...ed. Jake and his team kept me updated and informed each step of the way leading to our trial. I never worried about what was going on because of the constant communication either by phone, email or office visits. They made it easy to put my trust in them and relinquish my stress. When a relationship ends things can become complex and due to the current Texas Laws same-sex child custody disputes can be especially complicated and challenging when only one parent is biologically related to the child. According to Texas Law this applies to Same-Sex Couples, Non-Biological Parents and Grandparents. After much of my own research I learned that the outcome in these types of cases can be daunting and far reaching, but Jake has made a difference in my life, the life of my daughter and for the future lives of many who face the same challenges. Today, it's because of Jake and his team that I won this fight and have rights to my daughter, it's because of Jake and his team that I was given Standing rights. So, if you're looking for an attorney that exemplifies true and honest character, if you're looking for an attorney who will put you first during an already stressful time in your life and if you're looking for an attorney who will give it his best fight, I strongly recommend Mr. Gilbreath.

It gives me immense pleasure to write a recommendation for Jake. Our first interaction happened to be on phone and even without meeting him in person initially I felt assured enough to hire him as my attorney. He is confident, learned, articulate and responsive. I was well informed at every step of t...he way by him. There was never a time when I felt doubtful about hiring Jake. He paid attention to my expectation from case and I didn't feel that my case was ever neglected. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

I think of Mr. Gilbreath (Jake) as a true blessing. I met him after leaving my physically abusive husband with my two children. I knew I wanted to change our lives for the better, but I was scared, broke and felt like the challenges in front of me were insurmountable. After hiring Jake, my whole life... changed. He is smart, compassionate but also tough. He isn't just a great lawyer but a great human being. His confidence in me helped restore my confidence in myself after a very tumultuous relationship. He did an amazing job and I cannot praise his services enough.
