How Our Houston Family Lawyers Can Help
At 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 they face when separating from a spouse in Texas
- Representing LGBTQ+ clients in divorce, custody, adoptions, and name changes—a focus for us 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, emotional, and mental abuse, whether of the children or the spouses, including sometimes disproving false allegations
- Representing parents of children with special needs, including ADD, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders, as well as physical, mental, and emotional special needs
Preparation is Key—For the Firm’s Attorneys & 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.
