What Cases Do We Handle?
Choose our legal team for help with these case types and more:
- Divorce: Our McKinney lawyers are well-versed in divorce and the many legal rules that surround it. You can ask us for help if you need to file for divorce, or if you were handed divorce papers and don’t know how to respond.
- Child custody: Your child’s best interests are the most important part of a divorce case, so it is important to create a child custody arrangement that protects them. We can tell you about the various forms of custody that are recognized in Texas and how they might apply to your case.
- Spousal support: Paying spousal support, maintenance, or alimony could put you in financial hardship if it isn’t calculated fairly. On the other hand, not receiving enough spousal support can be just as disastrous for your financial stability. Our attorneys take pride in knowing how to carefully create fair and effective spousal support agreements that meet the court’s expectations.
- Property division: Marital property in Texas is divided equitably in divorce, which doesn’t necessarily mean a 50-50 split. If you’re worried about property division and what it could mean for the most important pieces of property and assets you own, be sure to talk to our attorneys as soon as you can.
- Estate law: Our estate law attorneys in McKinney can help you with wills, trusts, estate administration, and other important estate law processes. Oftentimes, divorce and family law intersect with estate law, which allows our knowledge to be twice as beneficial for our clients.
Our focus is primarily on family law, which touches upon many different types of cases. After all, your day-to-day life has many factors and facets. If a legal concern or conflict arises with any one of those facets, it might involve family law in one way or another.
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.
Typical Steps in a Legal Case
No one wants to wander through a case alone and without legal knowledge, but it happens to countless people each year. At Coker, Robb & Cannon, Family Lawyers, your family attorney McKinney, we make it a point to be there for our clients from the moment they hire us, so you never feel uninformed or alone. No matter how many steps will be needed to reach the conclusion of your case, our comprehensive legal counsel will make you feel supported from the beginning to the end.
Each step in the legal process is carefully managed to ensure that you are comprehensively covered, from the gathering of initial documentation to the closing arguments. Our attorneys take pride in providing a robust investigation phase where we leave no stone unturned to make sure all critical information is collected. This enhances the strength of your legal position and prepares us to negotiate effectively or litigate if necessary.
In a typical legal case, you can expect a few key steps to occur, including:
- Initial Consultation: To begin a legal case, you need to know where to begin. An initial consultation with our legal team, trusted as a family lawyer near me, allows you to get more information about the legal validity of your case and what to do next if your case does require the counsel of an attorney.
- Investigation: Your attorney will want to get more information about your case. Whether you have a family law, divorce, or estate law case, an investigation will allow our attorneys to look for evidence (if needed), understand your situation better, and prepare the next steps.
- Legal Action: At some point, your case will need to involve legal action, which can take several forms. You might need to file a petition, claim, or lawsuit, for example, depending on your case type and goals. Regardless of the legal action that is necessary and how to initiate it, you can depend on us to handle it for you.
- Negotiation: Typically, before a case advances to the courtroom or trial, negotiation or mediation will be used to try to reach an amicable solution. Our attorneys can represent you and pursue your best interests during discussions and mediation attempts with the opposing side.
- Litigation: For some cases—but certainly not all—litigation in court is among the final steps. Texas is the only state that allows juries in certain family law cases like child custody contests, so it is possible that you could be headed to litigation even if you have a family law case or divorce. Make sure that your choice of legal representation will be ready for it by choosing us.
Throughout each stage, we maintain a high level of professionalism and attention to detail, making sure that communication remains open and transparent. Our clients appreciate the consistent updates we provide, allowing them to feel engaged and informed about their legal journey.

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.

How does your team keep me informed about my case?
Staying informed is an important part of any legal process, especially for cases that involve your family and family life. We like to stay in frequent contact with our clients. Whenever there is an important update or something that needs your attention, you can expect us to email or call you. We know that some clients prefer to be hands-off for their cases, though, so please let us know if you would rather have minimal updates as your case progresses.
-
Where is the closest office to McKinney and how do I schedule a consultation there?

-
Do you handle family law cases involving child custody disputes in McKinney?
Our legal team is well-versed in family law cases that involve child custody. We appreciate that family law courts will only accept arrangements that uphold the child’s best interests. When we are working on a child custody case, we keep this expectation in mind, so we can better help our clients create an arrangement that works for everyone.
-
What are the benefits of mediation in family law cases?
Mediation can be incredibly beneficial for a family law or divorce case. Through mediation, you can benefit from increased control over how the case progresses, improved privacy and confidentiality, reduced stress, and oftentimes, decreased overall legal costs. Family law judges often require parties to attempt mediation before going to litigation for these reasons.
-
What are my options if I am experiencing domestic violence?
If you have been harmed by domestic violence, you can contact law enforcement to get a temporary restraining order against your abuser. If you are in imminent danger of physical abuse, call 911 when it is safe to do so. Please keep in mind that your browser search and call histories may be visible to anyone who has access to your electronic devices. If you enter a family law or divorce case later, you should let your attorney know about your spouse’s or partner’s history of domestic violence because this could influence the case in important ways.
-
What happens if my case goes to trial?When a case goes to trial, a judge and possibly a jury will decide how to conclude it. If you have a trial attorney, they can represent you during the trial and all steps leading up to it, such as discovery, jury selection, and more. We have trial attorneys on our team who can represent you in a trial but keep in mind that not every case goes to trial. Many cases end through mediation before litigation.
