Vital statistics Nightmare

I would highly recommend them. They are hard working and listen to what you have to say. I had been dealing with a particular issue for years on my own and they got it done in just a few short months. I can’t say how grateful I am.

Got. It. DONE.

The only divorce attorney who actually *lowers* your blood pressure! A true advocate. Real action, real solutions, and real explanations—no gaslighting or ‘client management. Understands the Travis County Court system—no wasting months or years before getting on the correct docket. Underst...ands complex financial situations and spreadsheets so is able to help advise on the best ways to structure settlement.

Grandparent Guardianship Success

I highly recommend Joe and his team to you. This is my story. I have guardianship of my granddaughter for the last 6 years. This last year the mother made an attent to kidnap my granddaughter at her camp. I was out of town and Joe was on vacation. I got a call from the camp that the mother wan...ted to take my granddaughter out of camp to see a dying relative. The mother in the court order had no visition rights to her child. I called Joe and within 15 minutes he was talking to the police at the camp and the officer told the mother she had to leave because of the court orders we had. I could have lost my granddaughter forever if it wasn’t for Joe being on watch for his clients even on his vacation. I will never forget that horrifying day when I got the call from the camp, Joe began work on terminating the mothers rights and we won in court. Joe is amazing human being. We will forever keep him in our prayers.

Hire Joe and win your case

I cannot say more positive experience with Joe and his staff. If you want to win your case, hire Joe. I can say I had the toughest case in child custody. Joe accepted the challenge and accomplished our goals. I had a jury trial for my final divorce hearing (rare in civil matters) in additional to num...erous temporary hearings with another lawyer. I won with primary custody but a geographical restriction. Not knowing too much about the system, I left the geographic restriction for my job for less than six months. I thought I could easily reverse custody after I moved back. After all it was for the benefits of the children. It turned out to be a difficult and prolonged process. It was also amidst COVID with all the changes. Joe and his staff are highly organized, knowledgeable, professional and flexible in their law practice. The court reversed custody and granted all for the best interests of my children. With his own life experience, Joe knows what a family needs and what are considered the best interests of the children. Joe and his staff are kind people fighting to reveal the truth no matter how the opponent behaved. For this, we are forever grateful!
