A consultation is your opportunity to learn about the process and discuss a strategy related to your specific situation. You will also have the opportunity to discuss or address: Courts allocate a variety of rights and duties between the parents. What most people mean when they refer to ‘custody’ is the right to designate the primary residence of the child. The amount of time each parent spends with the child and what the schedule looks like is called ‘Possession and Access’. The right to make medical, educational, and other decisions, and how other decisions are made on behalf of the child is called conservatorship. Lastly, one parent will collect child support from the other parent. Jury trials are the most complex type of hearings in civil court, and if you want an experienced attorney to represent you, it may seem like an expensive endeavor. However, having someone experienced in jury trials will save you money because they are more efficient and effective in their preparation than most. Think of it this way, would you rather have a low-cost surgeon with a spotty track record, or an appropriately-priced, highly-recommended surgeon? In the long run, If you opt for the discounted surgeon, you’re likely going to spend more time, money, and energy trying to correct their mistakes than you would if you hired the more highly-regarded surgeon. Secure your future. Hire an attorney that understands every detail of your case and how to use them in court. A Retainer Fee is a deposit paid by a new client at the time they hire our firm. A client is required to keep refreshing that deposit so that there is always a positive balance. Once the case is completed, the balance is refunded to the client. Learn more about how retainer fees are collected in our blog.

My deepest and sincere gratitude to Jacob Cohen and the whole team at Walters Gilbreath for carrying me through the toughest challenge I've ever faced. Jacob dealt with a very contentious opposing counsel and party with utmost grace and precision, and he was able to wade through what seemed like insurmountable odds and bring us to a place of victory that most would have originally thought impossible. His perseverance and knowledge of the law is unmatched. However, it was his empathy in the very delicate area of family law that sets him apart. Jacob truly cares about his clients and the relationship they have with their children. Jacob Cohen is a great lawyer, but more importantly, he's a man of integrity and character. My son and I can't thank him enough!

I had a very stressful ugly divorce with kids. Jaylin did a great job working my case and keeping me updated and informed. Brian was always available if we had any questions and he was with me during the second mediation. I highly recommend him and his team. I hope I don’t need them ever again but in the event that I do, I will most certainly use them.

JB Bobbit was extremely helpful in my case, he showed sincerity and understanding and even relating to my case as he too has his family. He understood what is was like from my POV and helped me in the most genuine way. This is trait that is hard to come by in most lawyers as most look at the check $ but some look at it how detrimental their knowledge and education can attribute to making someone’s complicated case/life a little less complicated.
