When a family law case moves beyond the trial court, clients need appellate counsel who understand both the law and the lasting impact of these decisions. Crain Caton & James represents clients in appeals before Texas courts of appeals and the Texas Supreme Court, handling matters such as divorce decrees, child custody and visitation determinations, property divisions, spousal maintenance awards, enforcement or contempt findings, and modifications.
Our appellate attorneys review the trial record, identify potential errors, and craft persuasive written and oral arguments. Whether defending a favorable judgment or challenging an adverse one, we provide experienced, thoughtful advocacy through every stage of the appellate process in Texas family law matters.
Testimonials
Jennifer was my attorney for my divorce. She guided me every step of the way. My two-year divorce culminated in a jury trial and Jennifer stood by my side and represented me from start to finish. She never once quit me. Jennifer has the patience to see through the fog of contested litigation and the foresight to know when to strike.
Jennifer came well recommended from another attorney who she had litigated against. Jennifer’s style and mastery of the subject matter make her what every client dreams to have in their corner. She possesses the skill of orchestrating the many facets of a divorce case and makes it look effortless.
Her leadership to the legal team was evident from the start, and the associate attorneys and paralegals all worked under her direction in a manner that only a true leader would command. Jennifer isn’t just a commanding presence in the courtroom—her soft, approachable demeanor makes communication a pleasure.
I didn’t cringe when my phone rang and saw her calling, even though the subject matter was the toughest thing I have ever personally experienced in my life. Jennifer will be my attorney from now on, but more importantly, I consider her my friend.
