What Cases Can We Help You With?
Our Allen, TX legal team is highly experienced in all sorts of family law-related cases, such as:
- Divorce: Allow us to walk you through the dissolution of your marriage, whether you want to file for divorce or were handed divorce papers by your spouse, possibly by surprise. From high-asset divorces and military divorces to contested divorces and uncontested divorces, we really can handle it all on your behalf. Your best interests are our own, especially because you’re a local just like us!
- Child custody: Child custody cases in Texas often involve questions about sole or joint custody agreements, and how to approach concepts like physical and legal custody. Overall, the court wants to see a child custody arrangement that reflects what is best for your child’s development. We keep this truth in focus while helping our clients with child custody cases, including those that go to trial.
- Estate law: In many ways, estate law overlaps family law and divorce, so we’re able to apply our knowledge and experience twice over. For example, we can help you create a will or trust that plans for the future; we can also help revise your will if you get a divorce and don’t want your assets distributed as you had originally planned.
We have helped families just like yours through all types of divorce and family law-related matters. Find out how one of our Board-Certified Family Law Specialists can help you.
Will Your Case Go to Court?
Many people who start a family law or divorce case wonder if they’re headed for court. The truth is that most cases do go to court, but not for reasons you might think. Typically, any agreement or arrangement made through family law or divorce processes must go to a court for final approval, even if both parties or spouses completely agree on it. For this reason, yes, your case will likely go to court.
However, if your case is going to court for adversarial proceedings, then you still don’t have to worry. Coker, Robb & Cannon, Family Lawyers in Allen has a team led by three Texas Board of Legal Specialization Board Certified Family Specialists on our team who are also highly qualified to take cases to trial and litigation. No matter what needs to happen to keep your case moving forward, we’ll be able to help.

“I would definitely recommend Jackie, Holly and Lauren.”- Marium

Ashley was amazing when it came to handling my case. I recommend her to anyone seeking a help with family court issues.- Seth
-
Shelby Hart was my lawyer during my divorce. During one of the hardest parts of my life, Shelby was nothing short of kind and professional. He was supportive and honest with me throughout the entire process, and always made me feel comfortable/well informed of every option available to me. Everyone at Coker Legal was easy to talk to and easy to trust. I'm so glad that I was recommended to Coker, and lucky enough to have Shelby as my lawyer. If you're in need of a compassionate law firm/lawyer, this is the place to go!- Kristie H.

“I would wholeheartedly recommend Shelby to anyone in need of a family lawyer.”- Asif

Mr. Pax did an excellent job with my divorce from the consult to final disposition. He made the process easier than I expected, since I was moving during the divorce process. He always had time to answer questions and set appropriate expectations. He and the staff worked around my sometimes odd schedule to get things done. I found everyone I interacted with to be friendly, professional and courteous. I would recommend them to anyone else needing a divorce attorney.- Patricia

Kelly Robb was great to work with. She communicated effectively and ensured that I understood every step in the process and how decisions would impact the outcome. She help make a very stressful process go smoothly and conducted herself with compassion and integrity.- Nicole
-
I'm honestly not even sure where to start. I had previously dealt with 4 other attorneys in various matters regarding custody of my son over the last several years which cost me a good deal of money and left me very disillusioned, and then I found Anthony Pax at Coker, Robb, and Cannon. I was in the fight of my life and losing would have meant that my son would be going to live overseas with his mother. Anthony Pax and Holly Keen did an amazing job, and while I dont think I would necessarily use the word "happy" to describe my feelings, and I hope (albeit probably in vain) to never see the inside of a courtroom again, I wouldnt want anyone but Anthony on my side.- Shannon R.
Frequently Asked Questions
More Questions? Consult an Attorney at Coker, Robb & Cannon, Family Lawyers!
-
What should I bring to my first consultation?
During your first consultation with our Allen family lawyers, we will usually want to see copies of any documentation that could be relevant to your case, such as bank statements, lists of important or valuable assets, and anything related to the unique needs of your child. We’ll let you know before you arrive what we would like to see.
-
What are the biggest mistakes people make when handling their own legal issues?
The biggest mistake people often make when handling a legal issue without a lawyer is making that decision in the first place. Laws surrounding divorce, estate administration, child custody, and so on are all complicated, and the outcome of such cases will be impactful. Trying to get the outcome you want without a legal guide can be risky, so it is never recommended. Even the court or judge will advise that you at least talk to a lawyer if you bring a case, claim, or petition without one.
-
How can I prepare for a family court hearing?
You should know what courtroom etiquette is expected where your case will be heard. Our attorneys are highly familiar with the courts and courtroom staff in and around Allen, so we can tell you more about what to expect and how to act. The baseline advice for preparing for a family court hearing, though, is to act professionally, be polite, and bring all necessary documentation.
-
What are my options if I am experiencing domestic violence?
If you are in immediate danger of physical domestic violence, try to call 911 when it is safe to do so. If you are not in immediate danger, you can talk to our attorneys about getting a protective order. Please keep in mind that your abuser may be able to access information about the phone calls you place and websites you visit if they have access to the device that you are currently using.
-
What are the main benefits of mediation in family law cases?Mediation can keep tempers and stress lower during a family law case by encouraging everyone to act cooperatively. In many cases, mediation also allows a family law dispute or divorce to end in less time than had it gone to court. Furthermore, when a case doesn’t need to go to trial, the costs associated with it tend to be lower.
