I felt so lucky to have been referred to Jake Gilbreath while being through such a hard marriage and toxic situation. I was hit very off guard when my husband filed for divorce. There was so much hurt and shock and fear as he quickly hired a successful attorney for fear of how he would be painted. ...The very first time I spoke to Jake, he eased my panic and treated me like a friend yet remained professional and direct. He seemed to truly care right off the bat and instantly gave me the reassurance that no matter what, he would help me through it and it would be ok. 0ne of the things I respected most about Jake was the honesty that he always conveyed to me. At times, during a difficult time, it is hard to hear some of the possibilities of the outcome of any divorce. I felt Jake gave me worst case scenarios to prepare me, yet came through to truly show me he knew his stuff and was one step ahead. He gave me very sound advice and never took on more than what he knew would work out for me. There was a time when I had to decide how far I wanted to take things by going to court. I so appreciated him being able to predict the outcomes based on his experience and offer me a different idea... which was to settle and move on with life! I can't thank him enough for pushing me in this direction. He did still play hard ball when appropriate and Jordan and his staff were wonderful communicators. Divorce is such a vulnerable time. I never doubted being in good hands. Jake is sharp, and honest and upfront when needed. I would absolutely recommend him to someone going through the same thing. I need to also comment about how respectful he is to women and how pro- female he is while not being in any way obnoxious, opinionated or tacky. He simply knows how to help when the trauma of divorce is dealt. I am so thankful that my children were the first concern and Jake, being a family Man, doesn't like Men who are hateful to Women.

I was referred to Jake by my tax lawyer in Austin and thank God I was. At the time, I didn't realize how ugly my divorce would become. Jake was responsive, professional, and fought hard to represent me in all aspects of the divorce. He provided solid advice and guided me through an extremely emoti...onal and taxing situation. The divorce itself took a year and half and around 15 court appearances to conclude. Jake was an advocate both in the court room and out of it. Since the conclusion, I've been more than happy to send friends his way who are going through divorces themselves.

My husband and I met with Mr. Gilbreath regarding a sensitive family matter. Mr. Gilbreath was compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to listen to our situation and gave us the tools necessary to make an educated decision for the well being of our family and the situation we are ...faced with. Although thankfully at this time will not need representation, I can assure you that Jake will be the attorney our family will hire if future needs should arise. We would recommend his services to all of people in need of the best defense and legal care in Texas!

Jake was great help coming late into my 2 year long proceeding to win a 50/50 custody agreement against the Becky Beaver firm. His counsel was honest and robust with level headed approach which was successful to negotiate a satisfactory custody agreement. Before Jake got involved my case went sid...eways do an unpleasant experience with an arbitrator, beware in agreeing to arbitrator in my case I would not agree to have an arbitrator for to remedy a mediated settlement agreement in the future as you give up your right to a fair court proceeding with proper due process. Jake was successful at negotiating and taking the proper steps to make up for the gross mishandling of the arbitrator in our case.

Jake Gilbreath wasn't the first attorney that I called, but he was the last. Within the first 5 minutes of our first conversation, he validated all of my concerns and for the first time in years, I felt that my son and I were going to be okay. Jake is respected among his peers for his abilities ins...ide the courtroom and out and it was this same reputation that encouraged my spouse to settle on an agreement prior to our trial date. Most importantly, Jake always had my son's best interest in mind throughout our case.
