Hargrave Family Law — Local services in Farmers Branch

I still remember having my first conversation with Jennifer. I had a million thoughts in my head as I was falling apart mentally, emotionally and physically from what was about to be the fallout of my 11 year marriage plus three kids. In my own convictions of my own faith, lawyers were never in the cards for me. I was so convinced that we would just work things out and looking back, I was not able to see things for what it was. But what if I waited till now(almost 2 years later) to get perspective? It would’ve been too late. I would’ve lost all the footing I needed to be setup for success concerning my future and what’s best for my kids.

That’s where Jennifer comes in. From point A to point Z, Jennifer advocated for me and made sure I had the best situation so I could move forward. She didn’t brush me off or my story off when I initially consulted her. I could be completely honest with her and there were some sensitive details of my story. She genuinely believed in me and who I truly was. I was also in a clergy role at a church and she managed that complexity with class and care. I never ever ever felt like she was a step behind....her and Taylor were super professional and were on top of things every step of the way. They were very patient with me and fought hard to get me what I wanted. I look back now and I’m so grateful. She thought of everything when I couldn’t think of everything. I am now set for the rest of my life to love my kids well and to give myself a fighting chance at life! None of this is an exaggeration. Hargrave Law is the best family law practice. Trust me. I did my research and I consulted with a few people who would be able to handle the complexity of my case and only Jennifer had the integrity and collaborative skill to knock this out of the park. No way would I have gotten the outcome I received without Jennifer! I highly recommend her. She’s attentive and caring but she’s also honest, precise, realistic. She will challenge you and she will ask good questions to truly think about what you really want, helping to weed out stuff that’s not important. Best part is that she has the litigator skill set that when she needs to turn it on, she can switch those gears at any moment. She knows how to manage that tension well...ultimately she advocates for the most collaborative approach that skips out on the drama. Most of the time, this is what’s best for the kids too and for any shot at amicable coparenting.

If you’re looking for something like this, don’t look anywhere else. Jennifer and her...

Soon after I was married, I realized I made the wrong decision. I hoped things would change, but over time it became much worse. About a year ago, something happened that forced me to accept that I needed a divorce. I was scared of the overall process, but i knew it needed to be done. I began my search for an attorney, but none of them were right for me. I’m sure all of them could get the job done, but the other attorneys came across as impersonal. I didn’t want to feel like just another number while navigating the scariest part of my life.

Time went by and months later, I was referred to Hargrave Family Law by a friend, who assured me that the firm would not only have years of experience, but would also hold my hand and guide me on my journey. I agreed to have a Case Evaluation with Felicia and knew right away that Hargrave Family Law was the right firm for me. My legal team, Hannah, Crystal, and Misty, each listened to my story, showed compassion and helped me figure out the best solutions for me and my children. When we were faced with a few challenges during the process, Misty developed a strategy that helped to keep things moving along in a timely manner. Anytime I had a question, she and Crystal provided prompt responses and were very honest in their feedback.

They truly were looking out for my best interest and most importantly, they were authentic and kind. One of the things that really stuck out to me was that when I was concerned about how the divorce process may impact my children, they researched therapists in my area who specialize in these types of situations.

Divorce is very scary, as I’m sure most legal matters probably are, but when you are going through the process and still having to deal with the other person involved, it can be a daunting experience. Hargrave Family Law recognizes that going through divorce is extremely stressful and they are ready to help guide you through it. If you are looking for an attorney who not only has the qualifications, but also actually listens and cares about you as an individual, then I highly recommend...

I contacted Hargrave Family Law last week. I'm in the very beginning stage(s) of what I hope will be a smooth transition into the next part of my life's journey. They have been nothing short of incredibly kind, understanding, and the tone of conversation(s) via text, phone or email, have been so comforting, patient and not rushed. I received a call from Ms. Toi Angelle this afternoon, and again, I feel like I'm going to be in great hands. I've made contact over the years to other law firms, and I felt nothing by way of empathy in most cases. During a time like this, a person wants to know that they are supported, and they don't have to go it alone emotionally, amongst other things. I'll try to come back and update once I'm in the thick of things, but right now I just wanted to thank everyone I've had contact with, it means more than you'll ever know. I have to tell you that I'm a strong person, but even I know I still need others to make it, none of us can make it alone. I'm about to remix this message if I don't stop, and simply say, thank you all for what you've given me so far. I know it's redundant, but that's just worth saying more than once.

I want to add something below, because it was some time after I had already determined that it was time for me to make a very hard choice. My hope is that it speaks to someone who needs to hear it, because in my opinion, this was a gentle way of telling a person to maintain their peace, don't entertain anything that is going to take you out of character, or crack your foundation. You have to know when it's time to make an adjustment, and most of all, you can/will survive it.
