She will be helping my daughter with the re-writing of her California divorce decree from California law to Texas law since my daughters ex-husband hired an attorney first to do the same for him, which pretty much moved us into the same direction as well as we want to be sure our daughter is protected legally. Hopefully it can get settled in mediation and not have to go to court but we shall see. If we do go to court, we are very confident that Mrs. Watson will be most excellent for us. Her staff is very friendly and very professional as well. I highly recommend her legal services if you need them.

I strongly caution against ever considering this firm for any family services, as Mrs. Bates consistently proved herself to be an attorney who is utterly inept and fails to offer any valuable strategic advice. To add insult to injury, I was forced to personally chase after my divorce decree a staggering two months after it had already been signed. It became painfully clear that Mrs. Bates's negligence and distortion of facts required me to seek the assistance of a competent law firm to rectify the mess she had created.

I cannot say enough about Becca Kennedy and Jordan Thomas. When this case started, I was facing an…read moreextremely contentious divorce with my relationship with my daughters and much of what I had worked for at stake. As a father going into family court, I was genuinely worried about what the next couple of years would look like and, most importantly, what my relationship with my daughters would look like when it was over. Becca and Jordan were there through all of it. They were honest with me even when the answer wasn't what I wanted to hear, knew when something was worth fighting over, and were incredibly responsive. There were even weekends when I would send something expecting an answer on Monday and hear back that same day. I don't like saying anyone "wins" a family law case because there really aren't winners when a family is being divided. But the results speak for themselves. I came out of the case with 50/50 custody of my daughters, while my house, vehicles, bank accounts, and separate property remained protected. If I could go back to the beginning of this case and read a review from another father who had been through something similar, this is what I would have wanted to know: Becca and Jordan will be honest with you, they will prepare, they will answer your questions, and when something needs to be fought for, they will fight for you. I'm extremely grateful I had them in my corner, and I would recommend them without hesitation.

I especially appreciate Becca's insight and judgment. She takes the time to explain issues, clearly, anticipate questions and concerns, and helps me understand not just what is happening, but why. Becca and Jordan are responsive and considerate and I have always felt that my questions and concerns are taken seriously. I also appreciate how respectful they are of the costs involved in litigation. They are mindful of billing and use their time efficiently, which is particularly important in a divorce case where legal expenses can add up quickly. They have treated me with kindness and respect while remaining professional, practical and focused. Their experience, attention to detail, organization, and steady guidance have given me a great deal of confidence during a very difficult time. I would highly recommend both Becca and Jordan to anyone looking for knowledgeable, capable, and conscientious representation in a family law matter.

I'd…read moreinvite you to look at my Yelp review count and community standing and see for yourself that I don't hand out five-star reviews like they were candy. She truly deserves all five stars here. Sue was practically a godsend when I went through my divorce. My situation was a bit unusual even as divorces go (my ex is an attorney) and Sue helped me make best use of the limited funds I had to represent my interests. She charged very fairly for her time, which is to say she charged me for all time spent, but she also helped and enabled me to do as much legwork on my own as was possible. I talked to a number of other attorneys who obviously approach divorce with a very cookie-cutter attitude but Sue was ready to embrace the nuances of my case and help me make the most of a limited budget. If I have but one regret it is that I didn't follow up with her with all of the thank-yous she deserved.

Everyone from the DSS team that I encountered was excellent, but I especially enjoyed working with Bonnie and Kate, too. Not only did I have a good experience, but most importantly a fantastic outcome. There's no gatekeeping when it comes to important lessons that Ms. Rodarte has learned through her experience winning many legal Super Bowls. I didn't feel like our relationship was purely transactional, she genuinely cares. It's not fun to feel like your life is on the line and you don't know what the outcome will be. You might be up against someone who is deflating the ball, doping, or committing field misconduct. She is honest, ethical, and timely. She is equipped to set proper expectations for you about what your best and worst day in court could look like. There are a lot of curve balls thrown in the legal system in Travis County, TX. You don't want a quarterback who doesn't know the playbook, can't make quick decisions, or doesn't have the ability to improvise when needed. There are helpful YouTube videos, podcasts (shoutout to Holly Draper in Dallas!), and websites (https://texaslawhelp.org/), but nothing compares to having the right teammate. If you can work with her, you're already in good field position with a big lead going into the 4th quarter.

The legal team guided me through my divorce to end my very difficult and traumatizing marriage in a well planned and necessary process. My property since separation were proven to be separate by law because of a very thorough BDO forensic accounting report.
