Jeff is probably the best attorney in Dallas Fort Worth in my opinion. He is diligent and thorough. He covers all the bases. He knows the law backward and forward and will give you options and good advice. You will not go wrong with Jeff. He understands everything about the process and has experience with every type of judge or spouse you can imagine. You will be protected and that is what you want and need in a family lawyer- I highly recommend him without hesitation.

If this shark is in the waters, you better be on his side of the courtroom. Extreme professionalism. Very intelligent. As you explain your situation, he knows the exact thing to do to take care of it. He is on top of things, and you do not have to worry about this law group stalling, forgetting, or losing focus on your case. From the extremely wealthy clients to just average Joe families, Jeff makes you feel as if your case is his top priority.
He was very patient with our lack of understanding about some client/lawyer issues, and would always explain things thoroughly. When it comes to strategy and courtroom demeanor, I doubt you will find a close equal in the metroplex. The cost is a bit high for just a regular Joe family, but we knew it was an investment in our kids that could not be overlooked by using an "okay" lawyer. If you want the best, Jeff Anderson is worth the investment.
We had another attorney for many years, but we are grateful to Jeff for really helping us understand what the process should actually look like. It is not only that he is a talented attorney, many are, but Jeff has been taking in family law since he was a little boy. I doubt you will find another attorney that knows the law and its niches backwards and forwards like this guy. If you have a case that you just cannot take a chance on...call Jeff.

I hope you never need a divorce attorney, but if you do, go to Jeff Anderson. Jeff guided me through an incredibly toilsome and complex divorce. My ex-wife's attorney was difficult and had a reputation for intentionally prolonging divorce proceedings. Jeff and his team carried me across the finish line.
