When your future and your children’s safety hang in the balance, you need more than forms and court dates. You need a legal team that listens, prepares, and stays steady when conflict rises. At Coker, Robb & Cannon, Family Lawyers, we feel honored when clients trust us during the hardest seasons of their lives.
“I Couldn't Have Found a Better Attorney”
In a recent high-conflict divorce and child custody case, client Terry came to Coker, Robb & Cannon, Family Lawyers knowing the road ahead would be volatile. She had clear goals for her children’s well-being and her financial security, and she needed someone who would hear her, tell her the truth, and stand firm when pressure grew.
Shelby Hart and his team are who you want on your side when your security and peace of mind are at stake. I knew my divorce and child-custody case would be volatile and high-conflict before it started, and I had very specific goals before I retained an attorney. Shelby listened to what I said and didn't say, paid attention to my concerns, and gave truly excellent legal and practical advice throughout the entire process. He didn't diminish my fears, didn't exploit my wallet, didn't promise things that weren't possible — instead, he was encouraging and honest and strategic in negotiation. I couldn't have found a better attorney, honestly. I truly believe that my children and I wouldn't be in the secure, safe position we are today if I hadn't hired Shelby Hart.

Listening First, Then Building a Strategy
This case involved serious concerns about custody, the children’s well-being, and protecting Terry’s financial future. From the beginning, Terry shared what mattered most to her, and the team focused on understanding those priorities and building a plan around them.
Shelby explains his approach:
“She came into this case knowing it was going to be difficult, and she had a pretty clear idea of what mattered most to her. My job was to listen, be honest with her about what we could realistically accomplish, and make sure we didn't lose sight of those priorities when things got difficult. We spent a lot of time preparing for mediation, and when it came time to negotiate, we knew what was important to her and where we needed to stand firm. I think that's what made the biggest difference."
Preparation, Communication, and Peace of Mind
The team devoted significant time to gathering and reviewing evidence, evaluating both financial and custody issues, and preparing for mediation. They chose a mediator with care, and they walked through options so Terry understood what might happen in court and which issues were worth holding the line on.
Throughout the process, Terry stayed informed and involved. The focus never shifted from the main goal: protecting the things that mattered most to her while allowing her and her children to move toward greater stability.
