David was such a big help! Carolyn explained every detail of my forms. Well recommend!!!! If I could give them more then 5 stars I sure would!!!

Carolyn Young has an extensive working knowledge of family law. She is extremely dedicated to each and every client, while providing excellent results that are fair, ethical, and timely. I highly recommend her with your legal needs.

I've worked with David there in the office. They have a tremendous attention to detail, and are fine people to work with. Genuinely nice people.

I hired Carolyn about 10 years ago, paid my $4000 retainer and she used almost the entire amount ($40 returned unused) in just serving him with papers, phone calls to me. Nothing was accomplished for $4000. I had to hire another attorney and pay again before I got my case settled. Very upset and a waste of money I didn't have.

The legal services provided by Janet Mccullar and staff were outstanding. My experience was wonderful. Janet is a people person and knows how to command a court room. She is focused on the client’s needs. During my case, Janet was professional and always was prepared for any issues.

While I have not required Ms. McCullar's services personally, I have had an opportunity to work closely with her professionally. She is caring, strong, and very motivated to provide her clients with excellent services. She listens to her client's needs and works hard to ensure they are provided with a fair resolution. I recommend all my friends that may need family law service to her and would certainly want her on my side if I was in need of family law services.

Janet and staff were very professional, courteous, and empathetic. They were very prompt in returning communication and answering my questions. I wasn't the biggest client but always felt my case was being handled professionally and with the utmost importance.

Very happy with legal services provided by Slav Talavera.

I am very grateful for the legal guidance I received from Kirker Davis LLP. They showed compassion, understanding, and were very responsive to all my questions and needs. Demi has been my Legal Counsel for some time and she has always given me the best and honest answers. Her and Lianna took my legal matters and made them very personal and yet professional. I truly am grateful for their time and effort. Family is everything and they take that to heart.

Candice, Ashley, and Laurie are highly professional, strategic, thorough, and above all intelligent. They helped me stay organized (which is no small feat), gracefully pivoted in the face of challenges, and provided emotional clarity in times of distress, even when those challenges and distressful situations were due to missteps by me. In my case, Candice routinely exhibited prescience regarding which matters deserved focus and which matters were distractions, which saved time, and money. Ashley expertly delivered to the court clear, concise, and highly effective summaries of complex topics. More than once, Candice and Ashley noticed and brought to light critical details that easily would have been missed and that had a huge impact. I couldn't say enough about how much this team helped me through my ordeal.

Excellent service! I contacted the Kirker | Davis law firm with a matter outside of their scope of practice. And yet, I received an immediate response from Carly Banner, with the helpful information and a great source for legal services. Very helpful! Thank you, Carly!!!

My experience with the law firm was excellent. The legal advice I received helped to clarify my options and guide discussions that ultimately led to a positive outcome for my family. I highly recommend this law firm.

Demi and her team were extremely professional, considerate and helpful during my divorce. Demi was extremely thorough with her professional guidance and advice and I felt comforted knowing she was protecting my and my best interest. Their communication was fast and I felt I had a team that cared about the outcome of my case. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Simply put, Sam is head and shoulders above his peers in family law. Sam got results, as he navigated an incredibly complex, multi-state custody case. I personally hired 6 separate attorneys from 3 separate states during a multi-year case. I was looking for a result, not a service. I can't say enough about working with Sam. The national, and even the large firms in major cities simply will not fight for you on the same level that Sam will. He is an honorable, outstanding professional - a man among men.

Samuel Solodar did an amazing job helping me with my divorce. His professionalism, knowledge of law and attitude to his job made me to be confident in the right choice of the lawyer.

I highly recommend Sam for your family law needs in Travis County. As a professional in this career I can attest to his skill and knowledge and concern for his clients. Do not hesitate to call him!

Sam takes a peaceful, yet firm approach to litigation. I always felt such relief after speaking with Sam on the phone or in person. I felt safe, understood and really taken care of with him. Sam is very professional and knows what he’s doing, yet maintains a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. He took a lot of the stress out of my situation. I will definitely use Sam again if I ever need to, and I would highly recommend Sam to anyone seeking a very competent attorney.

I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am to have worked with Sam through my divorce. I had a relatively quick and minimally complicated divorce, but he is the one who made it go so smoothly. When I reached out to Sam he responded to my call within a couple of hours and met with him in person later that week. My stressed mind was put at ease in just one meeting with him. He answered all of my questions as they came up and made me feel like he was always available to help me. Sam was thorough, efficient, professional, and compassionate. I am so grateful a relieved to have worked with him and he is 100% worth every dollar spent. A great lawyer and great human being. Don't go anywhere else!

The BEST FAMILY Law Attorney I have ever worked with. 1 year ago I was blindsided with a separation and custody battle. It all started with my ex wanting to leave making false child abuse and domestic abuse claims against me. She was threatening to have me never see the kids and specifically telling me that she would 'destroy my life'. Ryan Dougay was highly recommended from multiple attorney friends of mine. I walked into his office thinking I was totally ruined financially, in my relationship with my kids and with my reputation. Ryan went above and beyond. He came up with multiple strategies implemented them and within 8 weeks I was in a position to get full custody of my children. That being said, Ryan also helped pull in the reins of resentment and 'divorce frustration' and guide me on making the best choice for myself, family and kids in a post divorce world. As it was told to me 1 year ago - 'I you have a case that can be won, Ryan will win it'. 100% Truth

Hire him..he's worth every penny

I highly recommend Ryan Dougay for custody issues. My daughter hired him to represent her in custody of her 2 children. As a mother fighting for her children and a grandmother having to watch, it was a very difficult time. After meeting with Ryan, he put our minds at ease. He gave us straight forward answers and explained what would happen. He believed in my daughter and had my granddaughters best interest at heart. My daughter got her girls back and if it wasn't for Ryan, she would still be fighting to see them. If you are reading this review, you are searching for a great attorney to fight for your children, I would call Ryan. I am so happy and relieved that we did.

I was extremely fortunate to have been referred to Ryan. Once I hired him my confidence immediately skyrocketed and the outcome was far better than I could have ever imagined. If a friend of yours referred you to Ryan, then they have just given you a lifeline.

I highly recommend Ryan as a competent, skilled, and effective family law attorney. Going through a divorce is never going to be a fun experience, but Ryan's extensive knowledge of Texas family law and good humor made my own personal journey much easier and productive than I had anticipated being possible. He presented me with clear and understandable options that, ultimately, led to a good and fair outcome for both concerned, and also helped me navigate a process that, without his assistance, would have been otherwise even more painful and challenging. You would be wise to consider him if you find yourself having to face such a difficult life change.

I really feel as though you are an amazing lawyer: caring, brilliant, fair, and effective. I wish I had found you first! After almost a year of inaction by my previous two attorneys, I found and hired Ben. Not only has Ben's billing been amazingly fair, in a single hearing Ben's expert preparation and his brilliant and effective counter arguments resulted in my estranged, year long stalling, ex-wife to finally ask to schedule a mediated settlement, that same day. Best of all, one month later my divorce was settled. - Thank you Ben, Peter

Absolutely, hands down, the best family lawyer in Austin. I cannot thank Ben enough for assisting me in a very difficult child custody case. He is honest, articulate, and really cares about his clients. I feel fortunate to have had him on my side through a difficult custody battle. When I started my search, I visited websites of many attorneys and it almost seemed like an impossible task when every website seemingly look the same. But just after spending few minutes on Ben’s website, I knew right away that I found an attorney who would be able to help me. I was really impressed by his straightforward explanation of how he does business, his credentials, and reviews from other clients. I ultimately decided on Ben after speaking with him. Ben worked very hard on my case. He takes that extra level of care when you need it most, responding to emails and phone at night and on the weekends. This was very much appreciated. In my case, my ex-wife’s attorney used dirty & unethical tactics but Ben handled it with impressive aplomb. Ben did a superb job of presenting the facts in the courtroom. The extent of Ben’s preparation in comparison to that of the opposing attorney was obvious during the hearing. His courtroom performance is unparalleled. Ben is a good man and a phenomenal attorney. While I realize I was not his only client, he made me feel like I was. I was impressed by his confidence and obvious capability to handle anything that was thrown at him. Ben was responsive, timely, aggressive when needed, and throughout the whole process, I knew I was in good hands. While this was one of the toughest things I've gone through, I could not be more grateful for the results I got through Ben. Thank you so much, Ben.

Ben was absolutely amazing, to say the least. I came to him in a frenzy after getting ghosted by a different lawyer that I ended up reporting to the board. He was eager to pick up my case right where it was left off at. He’s sharp & quick witted. He doesn’t over promise and is a realist. He’s also very responsive. Watching him in action is a beautiful thing. He’s worth every penny! The piece that completely sets Ben apart from the rest is his focus on the client. I never imagined I would have such attentive service from a lawyer, honestly. Thank you for everything, Ben! Your representation helped me get through this process nearly stress free!

Ben was great to work with through my divorce and always responded promptly with any questions I had. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable.

Ben Carrasco is an excellent and attentive attorney. He defended the enforcement of a pro se settlement agreement at my hearing flawlessly. The day before, he got a continuance hearing dismissed - which is difficult to do. He is sharp and concise but also thorough and relevant in his delivery and defense of the facts. His logical approach, evidence based offensive style and understanding of the law can't be beat. He managed my situation perfectly without compromise. I was impressed by his presentation and preparation of my case to the judge and I'm grateful for his very professional and value added representation. Don't look any further than Ben Carrasco!

Best of all, one month later my divorce was settled. - Thank you Ben, Peter

    Absolutely, hands down, the best family lawyer in Austin. I cannot thank Ben enough for assisting me in a very difficult child custody case. He is honest, articulate, and really cares about his clients. I feel fortunate to have had him on my side through a difficult custody battle. When I started my search, I visited websites of many attorneys and it almost seemed like an impossible task when every website seemingly look the same. But just after spending few minutes on Ben’s website, I knew right away that I found an attorney who would be able to help me. I was really impressed by his straightforward explanation of how he does business, his credentials, and reviews from other clients. I ultimately decided on Ben after speaking with him. Ben worked very hard on my case. He takes that extra level of care when you need it most, responding to emails and phone at night and on the weekends. This was very much appreciated. In my case, my ex-wife’s attorney used dirty & unethical tactics but Ben handled it with impressive aplomb. Ben did a superb job of presenting the facts in the courtroom. The extent of Ben’s preparation in comparison to that of the opposing attorney was obvious during the hearing. His courtroom performance is unparalleled. Ben is a good man and a phenomenal attorney. While I realize I was not his only client, he made me feel like I was. I was impressed by his confidence and obvious capability to handle anything that was thrown at him. Ben was responsive, timely, aggressive when needed, and throughout the whole process, I knew I was in good hands. While this was one of the toughest things I've gone through, I could not be more grateful for the results I got through Ben. Thank you so much, Ben.

    Ben was absolutely amazing, to say the least. I came to him in a frenzy after getting ghosted by a different lawyer that I ended up reporting to the board. He was eager to pick up my case right where it was left off at. He’s sharp & quick witted. He doesn’t over promise and is a realist. He’s also very responsive. Watching him in action is a beautiful thing. He’s worth every penny! The piece that completely sets Ben apart from the rest is his focus on the client. I never imagined I would have such attentive service from a lawyer, honestly. Thank you for everything, Ben! Your representation helped me get through this process nearly stress free!

    Ben Carrasco is an excellent and attentive attorney. He defended the enforcement of a pro se settlement agreement at my hearing flawlessly. The day before, he got a continuance hearing dismissed - which is difficult to do. He is sharp and concise but also thorough and relevant in his delivery and defense of the facts. His logical approach, evidence based offensive style and understanding of the law can't be beat. He managed my situation perfectly without compromise. I was impressed by his presentation and preparation of my case to the judge and I'm grateful for his very professional and value added representation. Don't look any further than Ben Carrasco!

I called The Law Offices of Tim Whitten today. My call was promptly returned. Summer was able to quickly research and address my needs. Everyone I spoke today from the office was professional and courteous. Sometimes there is a tremendous amount of anxiety when you have to engage an attorney’s office, kindness and consideration goes a long way in making it a less stressful event. I am grateful to the professionals at firm.

I have seen Whitten Law(unfortunately). They are knowledgeable, and really reliable and decent people. Also, were very prompt. Thank you for your help.

I was confronted with a challenging family law situation and Tim was very helpful in laying out the issues so that I could make informed decisions.

There aren't enough words to fully convey how happy I am I chose the Law Office of Tim Whitten to represent me in a recent cusody case but I will attempt in this review. I contacted Tim Whitten to represent me in the most difficult time of my life. After a few in-depth conversations with Summer and Tim, we agreed it would be best for my case to have Tim and Amerin Whisnant represent me. Amerin Whisnant was my main attorney and handled the bulk of the case and throughout the entire case, I have never seen more courtesy, kindness and hard-work on my behalf. I felt secure knowing the knowledge they possed would give me a clear picture of my options and guide me in the right direction. However, they allowed me to make all informed decisions based on what was right for my family. Rightfully so, emotions were high, however, Amerin did a tremendous job navigating me through it all and eleviating some of the stress and intensity that came with it. They displayed the utmost professionalism towards the opposing party including his attorney which showed me a lot of wisdom. I can honestly say my son and I are better off having chosen Amerin, Tim and this entire team as our legal coucil. Even their paralegal, Ashley, was great to work with - I highly reccomend them 100x over!

Tim is an outstanding attorney focusing on collaborative divorce.

Chris through and through was a professional who understands the system and will prepare you on what might happen and will happen. He's honest and gets straight to the point of the situation. I had been dealing with a child's medical payment lawsuit that I should've never been sued for as well as TX AG's Office mistakenly setting up wrong child support payments amounts that without Chris, the issue would've never gotten resolved. Grateful that I found Chris and I highly recommend him to anyone going through hard co-parenting times.

Chris Is the best lawyer I could have ever been lucky enough to work with. The idea of getting a divorce was so hard to even think about but Chris made it very comfortable for me because he understood the difficulty , the decisions and how brave one must be as to leave hard marriage. He was there with understanding and helped me through every hoop. I have learned a lot from my experience and I would thoroughly recommend Chris if you are married to someone who is very manipulating. It’s gonna be hard no matter what but it’s really important that you have somebody like Chris in your corner to help you. He knows best how to get you through this process. You can put your trust in Chris. So, Hang in there , it will get better and when it’s over , it’s very important for you to have someone who knows the ropes as to how to take very good care of you and your concerns. Chris will do his best for you. He did this for me. .

I am grateful to have had the support of a fantastic attorney in the matter of my uncontested divorce. Chris Merritt made the process painless and quick. He is smart, experienced, thorough, approachable, and kind. His rate is fair. I recommend him highly.

Mr. Merritt is brilliant in the courtroom and works extremely hard for his clients. I saw this firsthand. Highly recommended.

Chris is a rare find in his field. He was very consultative in helping me find a solution for my family issue. He walked me through each option and stage of the process. He was forthcoming with which route was the best route for me. The route we chose for me ultimately paid him less than all others. He truly puts his clients before himself.

I had initial consultations with 3 divorce attorneys, and within minutes of my first meeting with Melissa I knew she was the one I would retain. From the beginning, she gave me very honest and accurate information, which helped me to have realistic expectations. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of family law, very well organized, and a great communicator. It was obviously not her first rodeo, and as it was mine, I found her calm demeanor very reassuring. She never flinched when opposing counsel delayed, postured, and made unreasonable requests. She was exceptionally responsive throughout the entire course of my case, as was as her paralegal. I also felt like she did a good job of presenting options that would minimize my legal fees. My divorce unfortunately ended up in court. Melissa did a great job at the trial, and I had a very favorable outcome. I highly recommend Melissa!

I couldn't have asked for a more supportive, efficient, and prevailing lawyer than Melissa Williams for my divorce. She helped me wrap this process up in about 5 months or less no matter the challenge we faced. She always respected my wishes but always made sure I was aware of all my options that were in my best interest. I am forever thankful!

I had a wonderful experience with Melissa. She was understanding and thorough and helped me to achieve my desired result during a custody case. I loved how incredible knowledgeable she is. I could not recommend her enough.

I have had the honor to know Melissa for nearly 15 years. She is wonderful; compassionate when needed, and tough when required! I treasure her input to assist me in making critical decisions that can affect me for many years ahead. Our moral values are aligned, and most important, I trust her. Matter of fact, I have had the opportunity to refer Melissa to several Friends over the years and everyone has been just as grateful for her professional assistance. I would be happy to refer her to anyone.

Melissa Williams is the best divorce attorney in Austin, Texas. Melissa is professional, organized, and highly respected. I'm grateful for her help.
