    She Won My Case and Everything Was Dismissed!!!
    I honestly don’t have the words to fully express how profoundly grateful I am for Ambrosia at this law firm. For the past four to five months, I was gripped by the fear of facing jail time, terrified I might lose my son. Ambrosia was appointed to me as a court-appointed attorney, and from the very first moment, she was a beacon of hope. She held my hand, reassured me, and told me things would be all right. And, unbelievably, she delivered—she won my case, and everything was dismissed!!! Ambrosia is truly one of the best lawyers in the world—far beyond any of the paid ones I ever had before! If you need someone who will fight for you, care for you, and believe in you, she is THE ONE! Absolute Rockstar! 🥳

    This law firm really gave me reassurance
    Having to go through grieving of my wife's death after giving birth to our then 3-day-old daughter, and fighting to get our daughter back from my wife's family was already a lot on me. This law firm really gave me reassurance and helped me get through this whole process. I now have our daughter and was able to grieve in peace.

    Truly the best in the business, bar none
    Ashley Cocklin and Michael Wysocki represented me in an extremely difficult and emotionally charged family custody case in which my brother and sister-in-law were attempting to take full custody of my children. My case came with significant challenges—I had previously lost custody through CPS, and I also received a DWI while the case was ongoing. Despite these obstacles, Ashley and Michael never treated my case as hopeless and continued to fight hard for me every step of the way. They were ultimately able to secure me a 51/49 possession order with no child support, extended weekend visitation during school holidays, and a full month of summer visitation. Given the circumstances of my case, this outcome was far better than I ever expected, and it allowed me to remain a meaningful and consistent part of my children’s lives. I have known Michael Wysocki personally since we were in sixth grade, and we went to school together growing up. Knowing him for that long, I can honestly say that he is one of the most dedicated, detailed, and compassionate people I know. He's a straight shooter, and his confidence and expertise definitely came in clutch during the entire legal process. Those qualities absolutely showed in how he handled my case. He took the time to understand not just the legal issues, but also the human side of what was at stake for me and my children. Ashley Cocklin was equally impressive—professional, thorough, and relentless in advocating for my rights as a father. She was always available and easy to get a hold of, and always took the time to explain everything in detail with me until I fully understood everything going on with the case. Together, they made an outstanding legal team. I am extremely satisfied with their work and deeply grateful for everything they did for me and my family. I would confidently recommend Ashley Cocklin and Michael Wysocki to anyone facing a complex family law matter. In my experience, they are truly the best in the business, bar none!!

We were kept in the loop every step of the way!!! Monty is superb and so very helpful! He explains it all and gets the tasks completed. Now let’s talk about Arleth! She is a gem to this team. We talked a lot, and she was able to answer my questions and help wherever she could.

    If I could give 10 stars I would!
    If I could give 10 stars I would! Nobody ever wants to go through a child custody battle, but OW Lawyers made the process so smooth from beginning to end. I had the pleasure of working with Miles Peterson and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation. He kept communication open with me regarding any minor detail of my case. Miles went above and beyond to make sure I got everything I went in asking for, and although it was a difficult case, he made it happen! I hope I never have to go through this again, but if I ever do, I know I can rely on OW Lawyers!

    This Is the Man You Need on Your Side
    Todd is a fierce attorney and took on my complicated case without hesitation. He fought relentlessly for me and my children and was able to accomplish even more than we asked for. He proved himself to be a bull shark. He’s quick on his feet and much more knowledgeable about the law than any opposing counsel he was put against. I finally felt protected and like someone was fighting for me after years of dealing with an intimidating and manipulative ex. This is the man you need on your side.

    Elizabeth and Angelia are amazing!
    I had some rough times with a prior lawyer from the firm, but Elizabeth and Angelia stepped up, took responsibility for something that wasn’t even their fault, and fought for me and my daughter through the custody and final proceedings. They are amazing; I would recommend Elizabeth and Angelia anytime!

    Confidence You Want in an Attorney
    I want all to know that Mr. David Wynne’s representation in my court case has given me not only the impression but the confidence that being an attorney, especially in family court, takes a special person with a heart that is understanding and compassionate for their clients and involves extreme knowledge of the Texas Family Laws that, as I know now, is an ever-changing living entity. When we started this cause, it was going to be a simple visitation request so I could spend a few hours a week with my son. Mr. Wynne was straightforward on what I should expect and how we should approach everything in regards to the case, which was very important to me because I had never had to be involved with anything of this sort and was completely unaware of what to do. From our first consultation, I felt a sense of relief and confidence that he would do everything he could to help me. His honesty, confidence, and knowledge of Family Law was proven to be not only evident throughout my case but exceptional and extremely beneficial to the brilliant outcome. Our case quickly turned into a custody battle when abuse and neglect of the child was determined, and from there, without hesitation, he jumped right in and with all the confidence you would want your attorney to have when it involves protecting someone you love. As I had mentioned before, this was a lengthy case, and with each court date, Mr. Wynne was always prepared for the known and unknown. His expert trial ability during cross-examination and questioning was respectful yet aggressive when it needed to be. I feel that he fought for our family like he would fight for his own. I want to thank you, Mr. Wynne, that I now have custody of my son with all the other stipulations that I will not get into that helps assure that we can breathe a sigh of relief for my son, who is now a funny, happy, loving 3-year-old. After one of the court dates, David Wynne stopped and talked to the other party’s father in the hallway. It was a brief friendly encounter. I don’t know what was said, but the father texted me later that day, telling me, 'David is a really good guy, I wish we could use him' – to me that epitomizes who David Wynne is as an attorney and as a person.

    I now have 50/50 custody
    I had a very difficult case. My ex lied to the police and set me up to permanently lose visitation with my son. My attorney quit on me, but my paralegal Angelia believed in me, stuck with me, and fought for me. She made it known to every lawyer in the office that she was sticking with me, and after a year of patience and putting my faith in her, I now have 50/50 custody. You do not find paralegals with such conviction and determination very often. With the way this state views and treats fathers, I was dealing with an unwinnable situation, but with her help, support, and encouragement, I now have my son back in my life. Angelia, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for believing in me.

    An Amazing Advocate
    Julie Aguilar and her team at OWL handled my recent custody modification case. Julie was an amazing advocate from start to finish. She is a very skilled attorney and extremely knowledgeable and efficient in case handling. She always kept the best interest of my children as priority and facilitated a most satisfactory outcome to the case. She works hard for her clients, and it is very obvious in her communications and results achieved. She and her team were always responsive and informative regarding the different processes in motion, as the case ended up being multi-faceted. I would not hesitate to recommend Julie to anyone in need of family law services. Divorce and custody issues are never easy, but having a competent and compassionate attorney like Julie in your corner definitely makes all the difference. I cannot thank her enough.
