Literally blown away by Grant's representation

I don't even know where to start I have so much good to say about my experience working with Grant. I was originally divorced in 2014 and have had 11 legal proceedings since the divorce. Attack after attack after attack from my ex. She had unlimited resources through her mom and used financial e...xtortion tactics by hiring attorneys that could stage a better "performance" in court than the ones I had hired. Facts be damned I was punished over and over. It was disheartening because my kids were affected by all of this insanity and eventually pulled away from her and lived with me full time. They were 14 when this first started happening, and despite me having these kids full time she continued to attack me legally asserting that I had poisoned their relationship with her and alienated them from her. She knew because of the financial destruction she had caused me that I did not have the resources she did and wielded that as a weapon again and again. When I finally had an option to fight back I was referred to Grant by a friend. HE WAS SUCH A BREATH OF FRESH AIR from the other attorneys I had worked with. It is obvious he loves what he does, he is enthusiastic, he genuinely cares about his clients, and he is a BULLDOG in the courtroom! A respectful but firm and incredibly detail oriented cross-examination of my ex completely unraveled her and created the opening I needed to get a Motion To Confer allowed by the judge for my kids. Grant, unlike the other attorneys I had in the past, fully embraced this option and pushed for it hard. The judge allowed the kids to visit privately with him, and after more than an hour with each kid exactly what I had wished for years happened. I was vindicated and the judge shut down every angle that my ex was using to come after me yet again a full 4 years after our divorce. Grant helped me believe in the judicial system again. He also helped me believe that the right thing will eventually prevail if you have GOOD REPRESENTATION! Do not make the mistake of thinking that all attorneys are created equal. Grant was the perfect fit for my case. He is young and energetic and gave my case a massive shot in the arm. He has a team of other seasoned attorneys in his firm that worked together on my case, and his enthusiasm was the secret weapon. It was such an amazing experience having him represent me and my kids. Thank you, Grant, from the bottom of my heart.

Grant Saves the Day!!

He was professional and courteous from the get go! He took on my case when other attorneys dropped the ball or did not act as responsively as they should have! He is hard working, and sharp as a whip! He won't overcharge, and is honest, he has a kind heart, and has a compassion for the littles.. t...he children, and underdogs.. my ex backed me into a corner.. legally, financially, and in every way. And I am so thankful to have Grant representing me! Not only did I come out stronger and better off, but with more than I had even hoped for! He will de escalate even the stickiest of situations! And has a heart for putting his clients needs first!! I wholeheartedly endorse this attorney as a reference for legal representation! Move over Becky B! There is a new man in town!

An awesome divorce attorney and friend

Grant helped me through my divorce - the most tough days during my life. From this July until November, when facing my ex-husband's various noncooperation and insane revenge, Grant, as my attorney, he presented his professional ability and great knowledge of the family law, besides considering cost ...control on my behalf; Grant, as my friend, he walked me through the stressful and frustrated timing. Finally, I become officially single and I am able to start over the life with my baby. When Thanksgiving is approaching, I really appreciate Grant's assistance and consideration. Otherwise, I won't be able to get rid of the horrible relationship. Thus, I strongly recommended him.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Grant is a very professional, courteous, hard-working, honest, and fantastic lawyer. I refer any cases that I can't take on myself to him and absolutely know that the clients I send to him are in good hands. He is trustworthy, cooperative, and accessible when working on cases as opposing counsel (which saves both parties time and money), but he also does a great job advocating for his clients. His performance as a trial lawyer is very impressive, and he's handled several jury trials. On a personal level, Grant is hilarious, a great listener, and very adept at making everyone around him feel engaged and comfortable. If you are looking for a divorce lawyer in Travis County and the surrounding counties who will do a great job for you at a reasonable price, Grant Woodby is your man!"
