Dallas Client’s Reviews

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.
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 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.
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.
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

Texas Divorce Basics

Texas is a no-fault divorce state; however, fault-based claims are also available. One spouse must have lived in Texas for at least six months and in the filing county (e.g., Dallas) for at least 90 days. Divorce may include a “Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship” when children are involved.
