Words cannot express my gratitude to my divorce attorney, Angela Stout. Throughout my "Jerry Springer Divorce" Angela fought to keep me focused on the important issues and did a great job protecting my interests. I am forever grateful and I highly recommend.

Angela Stout and her team carried me through a difficult time in my life. Knowledgable, professional and highly effective, her team carefully moved me through my child custody case. Angela's tenacity and discernment insured a better future for the people whom I care about the most. No one likes to call an attorney. But if you have to call one, call the Stout Law Firm.

We were referred to The Stout Law Firm by a Senior Board Member of the Houston Family Law Association for a Child Custody/Divorce case, so we had high expectations from the start and weren't disappointed. We met with many Attorneys in search of the one best to represent us and surprisingly we found it tough to find one that was sharp yet personal, unless we paid extortionate amounts to big law practices.

What Ms. Stout provided was the perfect mix for us, the knowledge and experience she attained from past employment, but a more personal connection and affordability of a private practice.

Ms. Stout very quickly secured our confidence, identifying gaps that others we had consulted with hadn't recognized. Throughout the process Ms. Stout and her colleagues worked very diligently and left no stone unturned.

She has an admiral amount of knowledge in Family Law and the energy, drive and passion for ensuring the best outcome for her clients. It was a frustrating case to be apart of, but with Ms. Stout representing us, we had the peace of mind needed to keep positive and moving forward. Unfortunately and through no fault of her own, the case dragged on much longer than we desired, but Ms. Stout worked with us throughout the process to identify areas where we could minimize costs without impacting the final result.

Ultimately for us, using a quality Attorney was not only an important investment but a necessity to ensure we had as much peace of mind and protections after the case closed. Ms. Stout met all the expectations we had and was impressive in every aspect. We've recommended The Stout Law Firm to several people since and would have no reservations in recommending or using the firm again.

I really can't say enough about Angela and her staff. I have been in and out of court with very messy custody issues over the past thirteen years. I have experience with many attorneys, some excellent and some not so great. Angela is the complete package. Her ability to retain information, organize her thoughts and put them into words is unmatched. What also sets Angela apart from other attorneys I've worked with (and against) is her thorough preparation, knowledge of the family code and skill in the courtroom.

I should also mention Stacy and the rest of Angela's staff which is top-notch. They are organized, responsive, efficient, and they pay attention to detail. The weight of a family lawsuit can bring an enormous amount of mental and emotional stress, and the effects of poor representation can last for years. You will not find a better advocate for you and your family. Angela has successfully handled three cases for me, and I highly recommend her services.

Tamara Bibb is an outstanding attorney. The entire firm operates efficiently, but in a very friendly environment. I simply cannot praise this firm enough.

Angela and Stacy are awesome. They give great advice and care about their clients. Went to them on a blind recommendation and now I consider them both friends. Angela is a complete professional but knows that her clients are people and can relate on a personal level also.
