Modification of court orders
You may have worked long and hard, and spent lots of money getting a final order in your case. But what happens if something major changes and that order is no longer workable? At The Whitley Law Firm we can help you modify a court order. You need the best San Antonio family law attorney who is skilled in this area of the law, as changing a court order requires that certain conditions be met. Material and substantial change can be many things. For instance, if you remarry, have a change in residence, a change in medical condition, mental health status, employment, criminal history, or the relationship between the parents is making the current orders unworkable, all of these can be found by the court to constitute a material and substantial change.

Uncontested Divorce
When the two parties are in agreement about untying the knot, the uncontested divorce process becomes much more transparent and streamlined. For those lucky few who are able to continue to communicate effectively during their divorce, we offer informal settlement conferences to lay out all the issues in a logical way and prepare agreements as they are made between the parties.The resulting agreement is usually signed by both the parties and their counsel and used as a template for an Agreed Final Decree of Divorce which will then be entered with the court. This method is often much less trying on the parties as well as their pocket books.If you have questions about uncontested divorce, we have answers. Please contact us today.

I called the law firm to see if they would be able to help with my sister’s divorce proceedings as their website mentioned pro bono. The lady I spoke to (I wish I remembered her name) was upfront with their pricing and explained to me that pro bono is only for criminal and not civil. However, she gave me some great resources and great advice about how to ask for a continuance and how to ask the judge if I can speak on my sister’s behalf. She spent at least 10 minutes with me on the phone and I could tell she really cared. She didn’t have to do that, but I’m so very grateful for her help. Even though I wasn’t able to use this firm, I could tell from my short conversation that this firm is truly about the best interest of their client and they go the extra mile. They are a bit pricier than other firms. However, if my conversation was any example of the service you would receive, and you want the best to represent you, I believe they’re worth every penny!

I finally found the light at the end of the tunnel with the help of Deanna! She is a GOD SEND! My divorce took me 2 years of ups and downs. I was so devastated and so lost in the beginning. I was unsure, not knowing where to turn. I am so grateful to have Deanna and her legal team represent me in my case. My case was not a simple divorce case. She was able to maneuver confidently in the courtroom while giving me reassurance and peace. She came up with creative strategies that helped me. I know she made some suggestions to me pertaining to my case that I didn’t understand at the time why she was recommending it, but I am so glad I listened to her.

Positive: Professionalism, QualityThey have done an excellent and professional job handling my divorce case. I have felt supported and that my concerns were heard and understood. Ms. Whitley and her staff have been honest with me about things worth the costs of pursuing vs those that were not financially in my best interest, which I appreciate, and have been zealous advocates on my behalf when the need has arisen. If you want professional, supportive, and honest representation, I can’t recommend them enough.They have done an excellent and professional job handling my divorce case.

My fiancé is going through a nasty divorce/ custody hearing. It been going on for about 2 years. Dallas is the worst lawyer I have ever encountered in my 38 years of living. She never answers the phone or helps with questions you would not know who to answer. My fiancé had court and she didn’t even show up her colleague did and didn’t know anything about the case. My fiancé is one of the best fathers I know but is being treated as if he is a bum. They will not fight for you DO NOT HIRE THEM!!!! TERRIBLE RUNNNN

Truly regret hiring this law firm. Don’t believe all those “great reviews”.There is no communication unless you reach out to them to try to find out what is going on but even then when you call they have no clue as well. They are real quick to take your money and charge for every conversation but will know nothing about your case also they always claim they will call back with more information but never do.

I looked at these reviews when I selected a lawyer for my divorce; it weighed into my selection decision. I would not recommend this firm. My experience with them was not positive. My ex and I were on decent terms and worked out most of the details of our divorce on our own. My dealings with this firm only increased this already stressful time as they were not responsive to my desires and overcomplicated things that could have been much simpler. My divorce went final in 2018 and I ceased seeking services from them. However to this day, I am still dealing with issues with conflicting verbiage in the decree. Shop around more and possibly save yourself some frustrations.

Positive: ProfessionalismDeanna L. Whitley and Dallas E. Olsen are exceptionally talented litigators, as well as ethical and compassionate professionals, who zealously represented me in a divorce proceeding. They are very responsive to client questions and concerns. Given their diligence, persistence and skill, they obtained an expedited setting to finalize my divorce, despite the time restrictions imposed by COVID-19. Their deft, experienced staff frequently updated me on my divorce progress, even during after hours and weekends. Divorce is traumatic. It is deeply troubling. However, when represented by wise and bright lawyers, like Deanna and Dallas, the client is confident that his or her rights will be aggressively promoted. I was always prepared, by the attorneys and staff. My concerns were allayed, because I received prompt learned counsel. Altogether, I hold The Whitley Law Firm, PC in the highest regard, recommending them as the most skilled, proficient and knowledgeable family law attorneys in San Antonio, Texas and surrounding areas.Deanna L.
