Family Lawyers in Houston, TX

Diggs & Sadler, our family law practice focuses particularly on the representation of clients in the following areas:

Complex marital property issues
Interstate and international jurisdictional issues in divorce and custody cases
Representing expatriates or foreign nationals (or their spouses) and addressing the unique legal and cultural problems that foreign nationals face when separating from their spouse in Texas
Representing LGBTQ+ clients in divorce, custody, adoptions, and name changes—a focus for Diggs & Sadler even before the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic Obergefell v. Hodges case

We often handle high-conflict custody and divorce cases such as:

Cases involving the special problems that arise with substance abuse, including disproving false allegations of drug or alcohol abuse
Custody and divorce cases involving physical abuse, as well as emotional and mental abuse, whether of the children or the spouses, including sometimes disproving false allegations of abuse
Representing parents of children with special needs in custody and divorce matters, including ADD, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders, as well as physical, mental, and emotional special needs

Preparation is Key—For the Firm’s Attorneys and for Our Clients

Diggs & Sadler prepares cases and clients on the assumption that the case may have to go to trial. “Get ready for trial, then negotiate a favorable peace,” could be the firm motto. Most cases do settle, and that is often best for clients; regardless, a high level of preparation for trial is the best tool for success in settlement negotiation.

All of the firm’s lawyers are experienced in court and litigation-related work. Some of the firm’s lawyers had experience in the past working for the courts (many of our attorneys clerked for the judiciary at the start of their careers and Founder Cindy Diggs is Board Certified in Civil Trial as well as Family Law). The firm’s lawyers have regular and significant courtroom experience, including experience directly handling hearings of all types, taking and defending depositions, and representing clients in mediation, as well as at trial and on appeal.
