Divorce proceedings taught me that an attorney that does not understand disabilities can cause family hardship for years. …For the first time in years of searching, struggling, and trying to explain our situation, I felt heard, understood, and, most importantly, not alone. Keith knows the complexities of Texas law concerning disabilities. He understands the vulnerabilities and needs of children with disabilities.

He made me feel comfortable with the divorce process and made sure I was prepared for court.
