Dallas Military Divorce

As this was my first time ever needing to hire an attorney for anything, my experience was as close to perfect as I could imagine. Ms. Bryson was attentive, I felt heard when sharing information, all while receiving great guidance on what to do next. Her ability to also explain court language to me so I wasn’t lost was huge! She is definitely a fighter, and that’s what you want when it comes to representation. – Aaron D.

Going through divorce is overwhelming, but Kevin made the process so much easier. He was steady, responsive, and genuinely kind, which gave me peace of mind through some of the most stressful moments. I always felt heard, respected, and supported, and it was a relief knowing that nothing was slipping through the cracks. Having that calm, reasonable presence in the middle of such an emotional process made all the difference. At the same time, Kevin understands how to navigate difficult people, and he’s not someone who can be pushed around. That mix of compassion and toughness is rare, and exactly what you want in an attorney. I’m so grateful I had him on my side and would recommend him without hesitation. – Lauren T.

Karen Bryson did an amazing job with my case! I couldn’t be more thankful. Also her assistant Brenda is AWESOME!! I had done consults with two other firms, and was very disappointed with the experience. When I called Goranson I was already uncomfortable, but I got transferred to Brenda and could just tell this is where I needed to be! Thank you so much! – Adam T.

Mona Hosseiny-Tovar represented me in my divorce. Anytime I had a question or needed anything she was always quick to respond and didn’t mind answering any of my “dumb questions”. She was very kind and understanding of what I wanted and how to navigate the best possible solution. Mona is extremely knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend her and the Goranson Bain Ausley firm. – Sara A.

Mona is literally my hero. She’s incredible. Mona accomplished in a matter of MONTHS what my previous attorney had not been able to accomplish over the span of four YEARS. Mona is smart as a whip, compassionate, relatable, and really good at her job. I’m eternally grateful for her exceptional work on my case. – Jacqueline L.

Lindsey, Mona & Melanie provided something that was amazing. This was the most difficult time in my life. Father rights are not equal in Texas unless you have the right people fighting for you. I truly think and believe I would not have had the excellent outcome without these guys. A common law marriage case and custody of my son was won on my behalf. Lindsey has the skills and the instincts that won both of my three year long cases. If you’re a father that wants equal rights in Texas, you need the team that will make it happen. I actually felt sorry for the other attorney at every trial. – Ryan G.

I will always be grateful to this firm for their patience, honesty, and deep expertise in Family Law, as well as their commitment to fighting for what was in my daughters’ best interest. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with several attorneys at Goranson Bain Ausley, and I cannot speak highly enough of Rachel Rizzieri Feist, Mona Hosseiny-Tovar, and their incredibly hardworking paralegal, Marsha Kiss. They are absolute rock stars. They were timely, strategic and consistently kept me informed throughout the entire process. They offered realistic expectations and thoughtful options, working seamlessly as a team to guide my high-conflict custody case toward a mediated settlement. What truly sets this firm apart is how collaboratively the attorneys work—sharing insight and supporting each other to best serve their clients. That teamwork was instrumental in helping me secure a key outcome in a previous modification. I highly recommend Rachel and Mona to anyone navigating the complexities of family law. Their professionalism, compassion, and results-driven approach made all the difference for me and my family. – Ryan C.

Rachel took my case last minute when she certainly didn’t have to. She is very smart, very professional and has great associates. If I had to do it again I’d hire her and GBA again in a heartbeat. – Jeffrey P.

I would have never dreamed that I would have ever needed a lawyer to represent me in a divorce. Where do you begin to look? There are so many to choose from and you are so overwhelmed emotionally it’s hard to just function in life, let alone hire a lawyer. I am so thankful I found the lawyer I did and I have learned since then that not all law firms and lawyers are created equal. When I hired Rachel Feist to represent me, I quickly realized I hired GBA. She had the consulting power of an entire firm backing her along with the tenured wisdom of her paralegal, Marsha Kiss. If you want a lawyer that actually cares about YOU, is trustworthy, knows the law and what it looks like to advocate, Rachel is who you want. She will not disappoint. – Dawn W.

If you are in need of a family law attorney, Rachel Feist in the GBA Dallas office will provide a 5 star experience. Rachel and her paralegal, Marsha Kiss, have excellent communication skills and handled my case in a compassionate and timely manner. I am so very thankful for the support and professional service I received from Rachel and Marsha! – Diane E.

I had a great experience with Goranson Bain Ausley while going through my divorce proceedings. I worked with Rachel and Lerrin and from the first meetings, they were attentive and detail oriented, answering my many questions and guiding me through the process. My divorce was pretty straight forward, but they were ready for a multitude of contingencies, just in case. Thank you to everyone at GBA who made this horrible process as painless as possible. – Bianca A.

I had the pleasure of working with Ryan, Lerrin, and Victoria who were all amazing! All three of them were knowledgeable, professional, and looked out for my best interest. If I could go back, I would have started with GBA from the beginning, and they will be who I choose should I need representation in the future. If you are looking for great representation, I recommend stopping your search here and choosing GBA. A big thank you Ryan, Lerrin, and Victoria who were an absolute dream team when I needed it the most! – Gabriela B.

Lerrin Reinecke represented me (with Marsha Kiss as paralegal) and helped me every step of the way through the hell that is divorce. She was incredibly responsive, supportive, knowledgeable, and pragmatic throughout the process. She listened with kindness, commiseration, and never judgment. I truly credit her and her coworker Lindsey Obenhaus with the strong mediation settlement we reached and the position of power we entered with. She definitely over prepares and thinks through all the contingencies before you even get to the next step. I will forever be grateful for her during one of the most difficult periods of my life. She gets all the stars! – Brenna P.

I went through a divorce in 2024. After having initial consultations with a few firms, I found Lerrin at Goranson Bain Ausley. From our initial conversation, I felt very comfortable. Divorce is tough and there are days you don’t feel like dealing with the messy details. Lerrin and Marsha were great helping me through those days and pushing me forward all the way to the finish line. I think the best thing about Lerrin is that she’s a great mix of aggressive, diplomatic and caring. She know when to give, when to compromise and when to say no. I highly recommend GBA. – Alexander N.

I have used three lawyers at this firm. One for first divorce, one for prenup of second marriage, and one for second divorce. They are not the cheapest, but they are efficient and waste no time, which ultimately saved me money. I highly recommend them. – Ryan A.

Lerrin, you’re awesome. Thanks for being patient, explaining processes and being available throughout, from beginning to end. – Lucia A.

I hired Lindsey Obenhaus and her team to help me with the custody of my young daughter. My case had a lot of mud slinging and the process with the court system became frustrating with delays, but Lindsey and her team was so helpful through the whole process and willing to answer any questions or concerns I had. Lindsey kept my budget in mind and would offer alternatives as well. We eventually went to trial and Lindsey was AMAZING! She advocated for me and my daughter during trial and stood up for me when false accusations or character damaging things were said. We had a favorable ruling and now I can rest easy knowing that we have an order in place that is in the best interest of my daughter. I would refer Lindsey and her team to anyone that is looking to have an experienced, professional and trustworthy attorney in your corner that advocates for you and your child. Thank you so much Lindsey and your team with all your help in my case! – Gabby R.

She is the person you want in your corner giving you instruction and guidance during the most difficult times. She is a big part of why my child is safe and has an opportunity to grow up in a safe environment. Thank you, Lindsey, for doing the work you do. Words can’t express our gratitude. – Blake P.

I knew I wanted Esther Donald to handle my divorce at the initial consult. She guided me through this difficult process with professionalism, empathy, and always with an eye to what was in the best interest of me and my children in the long term. – B.F.

If you ever find yourself needing a family law attorney, there is no one better in Dallas to support you from a legal and human perspective than Esther Donald. Esther’s super-power is her ability to diffuse the most aggressive approaches of opposing counsel and de-escalate tensions. She saw me through the toughest time of my life and I was grateful every day for her steady hand. – Claudia G.

It is hard to think that going through any legal action would be pleasant, but Esther and her paralegals made a long and complicated process very personable. I was hoping to follow the “collaborative” process and although we were not able to manage fully in a collaborative manner, Esther’s expertise kept our case out of court. I could not have asked for a better outcome. If you need legal assistance, this is the team you need to call. – Allison C.

I highly recommend Esther Donald and her firm for any divorce or family law needs. She has shepherded me through this long and emotional process, making it go as smoothly and efficiently as possible. I am very grateful to Esther and her team for their professionalism and expertise. I was definitely in very capable and caring hands, every step of the way. – Meredith Z.

Going through a divorce is an emotional and complex thing to endure. Having the support of a positive, thoughtful, and caring lawyer is key. Esther and Jill made a very tough situation manageable. They were extremely organized and their support was unwavering. They turned an emotional process into a manageable endeavor. Esther’s empathy and understanding helped me in more ways that just what a typical lawyer would do. My divorce was finalized in a few months because of the constant support of Esther and Jill. – Nikki D.

I recently had the good fortune of working with Esther Donald on my collaborative divorce. Esther came highly recommended to me and she lived up to the billing. The divorce process was much more challenging than I had anticipated. Esther was instrumental in getting the divorce done collaboratively, thus preventing litigation. Her advice was always spot on and she was always willing to lend an empathetic ear. Her ability to get my case across the finish line, working with multiple lawyers, was truly impressive. It was clear to me that Esther was invested in me as a client, as I am sure she is with all of her clients. Should you need a collaborative divorce attorney, I strongly recommend Esther. – Steven

She is very bright and focused on the business at hand. She can be tough at times, but she can also be compassionate as she helped me get through some rough moments in my divorce process. I have nothing but praise for Aimee and her staff. Without hesitation, I would recommend her to anybody that needs a family law attorney. – Fred

I would highly recommend Aimee. She kept me sane, kept me up to date at all times and worked tirelessly to resolve my case in the least expensive manner as possible. She is worth her weight in gold. Her team is on target, up to date and was always there for me when I needed them. She is an amazing person as well as an excellent lawyer! – Lea

When you’re going through confusing and difficult times, you would always HOPE you would be able to find an attorney like Aimee Key. A perfect combination of knowledge, empathy, professionalism, efficiency, clarity, and communicativeness made her and her team utterly reliable and essential. She was firm when she needed to be firm, protective, and patient. In fact, I would go as far as saying that at one of the scariest times of my life, she was a rock and I really appreciated everything she did for me and my family. Can’t recommend highly enough. – Patrick

Aimee Key and Krystal Bell are phenomenal. Literally, could not have asked anything more of them! They were responsive, professional, and most importantly effective. You won’t find better counsel and best hope that they are on your side and not across the table. – Tavis

I’m forever thankful to Aimee, Caroline, and Linden. These three helped me navigate the world of divorce – a place I never thought I’d be. From the start, Aimee clearly laid out the timeline and what to expect during the process. They are a highly professional team – very similar to the experience I have working with lawyers in the corporate world in the past. What I liked most about this team is their approach. Unlike some lawyers, they are always looking to deescalate things and are thinking about the long term goal – setting both parties up for a successful co-parenting relationship in the future. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you Aimee, Linden, and Caroline!! – Colin D.
