About

Going through my divorce and custody battle for my 3 kids has been the hardest thing I've ever done. Since then, I've made it my mission to change the way families experience divorce. I got married at 21 and had my first baby at 23. Before long, I was a mother of three. At 30, I decided to go to law school, commuting three hours a day while raising three young kids and running a recruiting business. It was sheer dogged survivalism. In the middle of all this, I faced a life-altering crisis: my own divorce and custody battle. When it was over, I didn't have primary custody of my kids, paid child support, and incurred a mountain of debt. I thought that's just how things would be. So I settled into my Option B life. I graduated from law school and began my career at a prestigious large firm in San Antonio. But circumstances restarted my custody battle, and with unwavering faith and the help of a seasoned courtroom litigator, I reclaimed my story and my family. That experience fueled my mission: to become the kind of lawyer I so desperately needed from the very beginning. The one who listens. The one who cares. The one who never gives up. So I left Big Law and started my own law firm with a $10,000 loan from my then-boyfriend. From day one, my vision has been to help families navigate divorce, custody disputes, and estate planning with the legal strategy, practical support, and hard-earned compassion that only comes from having walked that road myself. What began as a solo practice at my kitchen table quickly grew into a multi-million-dollar family law firm serving clients across Texas. We've also been ranked #23 in the Southwest on the Inc. Regionals and #876 on the Inc. 5000. At HBLF, we say, "We help marriages end well." That motto is more than a tagline. It's our commitment to helping clients divorce in a better way and giving them the support and tools to start their next chapter stronger than before. As I worked with more families, I realized women divorce differently. Legal representation alone wasn't enough. Women needed guidance before they filed, support during the process, and resources to rebuild afterward. That's why I created My Confident Divorce. Whether you're preparing for divorce, going through it, or rebuilding afterward, I'd love to welcome you to My Confident Divorce. And if you're looking for legal guidance, a trusted Texas family law referral partner, or an expert to comment on divorce, I'd love to hear from you.
