Excellent Divorce Lawyer - very strong, no push over!

Travis took my complicated divorce case and fought diligently for a ruling that favored my side. I am an executive high income earner with four children and a wife who was from Asia. Additionally, I had a C Corp and several rental properties which added to the complexity. After nearly two years, for...ensic accountants, etc., it was completed. I’m happy with the turn out. Thank you Travis!

AVOID AVOID AVOID. If you are looking to waste your money without any results then Travis Whitfield is for you. I have been dealing with my divorce, child custody, and child support issues for over a year now. Travis and his team got involved and screwed that all up. Everything has been delayed du...e to him fumbling with the case. He paid little to no attention to the case and passed it along to multiple associates and paralegals to WASTE your money. Throughout my case, most of the time when they sent over documents for me to review and sign, I always had them correct one thing or another, they were hardly ever accurate. Yet, they still billed me to correct THEIR mistakes. There is a long laundry list with this law firm. If I can help at least 1 person avoid this law firm; I have done my job. You don't want to add to your problems during your hard times looking for a capable lawyer. Don't waste your time and money with this law firm.

I was confused I thought I hired a paralegal and still came up below standard expectrations

I got a recommendation to check this lawyer for my divorce by a friend I say whose judgment I could trust. He asked what I wanted. I said I want to make it as amicable as possible, I want what is fair, I want my peace, my freedom and most of all I want my kids to go through this as smoothly as poss...ible. As long as I have my health, peace of mind, stable job and an option for my children to go to (their mom as I have learned exhibit strong narcisisstic traits which finally explained everything that troubled me all those years). His other question relevant : Do you think your wife is going to make this very difficult for you? My response was " Absolutely 100% she did not have to make threats that she is going to make it like hell for me, I knew" He convinced me with these words: I will fight for what is right for you and her I do not tolerate using the children as leverage I am not one who try to squeeze the other party unfairly We move with the children welfare always the priority. I said I am in. This was me filing for a divorce I tried all I can to work out for 20 years only to realize 18 years that nothing will ever change. The promises not one of it were ever even came close to even get a jumpstart. the best words he made were after the first court day in which I was shell shocked he did not do or say anything to advance or make known our contentions. The very first court day a few minutes before we even were called in to the courtroom I knew then that I made a very big mistake. As we were preparing all that I would say what about my, what about the, and what not. His one and best answer amongst was maybe we can add that in the next court day this is just the start! When the proposals came and I so much had disagreement to some claims that were so absurd as we went along each proposal. Some I had no idea whatsoever how to proceed I asked what can you say, what legal advice can you give me. The best answer he has made was " well I do not know you are the one who has to decide what you want to do with it I am just putting note to make sure that we represent exactly what you want and how you wanted. One other answer he made was I do not deal with those financial stuff. It is not my line of specialty. So I asked maybe he can give me recommendations who to contact after all he has more than 2 decades at least of doing his job. But no he referred me to his secretary. First secretary left a few months after . I have a pending heart surgery. My job security is non existent, there is an active deliberate operation to try to get rid of me. My lawyer knew this so I am lagging with my payment of his services which is just about the only thing they are good in communicating with me. Now he is asking to be relieved from being his representative due to an irreparable relationship and an outstanding service fee. There never was an representation nor there ever was a relationship. I know nothing about law but I have common sense and I am in customer service. I am actively looking for a new lawyer that can simply just represent me for what is legally fair for me, the wife and the kids. I did not know I hired a paralegal.

BEST Attorney in the Bay!

I am currently helping my uncle with his divorce since my uncle does not speak English. He is a native Vietnamese speaker. His divorce started at the beginning of the Shelter In Place Order. I called Travis for my uncle and he arranged for us to meet on a Sunday. During the meetings, my uncle ...would explain everything to me, and I would translate it to Travis. Travis was very patient and asked many questions to best understand the situation and form the plan to move forward. Travis was able to file some initial motions to get some of the important pieces of the case resolved. Even though the court was only seeing limited cases, Travis was able to get my uncle seen and complete a stipulation and order with the court. Travis did a fantastic job negotiating several key elements of the stipulation with his ex’s lawyer. While the case is still ongoing and there’s been plenty of bumps in the road, Travis was able to calm things down until the next court date set for later this year, after the courts open back up. Throughout the case so far, Travis has always been available to us. He has met with us on many weekends and has been available via phone, email and text as well. We prefer email to keep a record of what happens throughout the case, but he always makes sure to provide the best instructions for my uncle to follow. The best part of Travis’ practice is how well they respond to questions and filings.

Horrible

We hired this attorney to file for my divorce. Another case come along that I had to fight for my daughter custody. He promised I would get her but every time I would see him he would charge 1k , 2k, 3k in total he charged me around 8k for nothing. I personally hired HIM and he made some other lawyer... there work with me Mr Seabrook. Also horrible lawyer. He would stay quiet In court and never attacked other party while we had great evidence. Honesty horrible experience. I had to report. It’s not right the take advantage of people. I then hire another lawyer that charged one quarter of what I was charged with Travis and she did an outstanding job.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Whitfield took over from another attorney as opposing counsel the day before our case was set for hearing. He was professional, well versed in family law, knowledgeable about the often-overlooked practicalities of how house sales progress, and of how the court operates. We were able to reach an agreement quickly. He saved his client and mine a great deal of financial and emotional pain by knowing when to ask for changes, and when to agree. I hope I will have other future cases with him, and I will refer clients to him when I can't take a case."
