I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with Meridith after previously dealing with attorneys who didn’t listen and, frankly, were dismissive and rude. From the very beginning, Meridith stood out for her integrity, compassion, and kindness. She was consistently calm, level-headed, and collected, which gave me confidence and peace of mind during an extremely contentious and high-conflict case.
What impressed me most was that she was not afraid to go to trial if needed—a rare quality, as many attorneys try to avoid it. Even though we ultimately resolved the matter in mediation, she made me feel fully supported and truly heard every step of the way.
Meridith and Daniel together were excellent. They clearly operate with the highest respect for the law and an unwavering commitment to their clients. After working with them, I can honestly say I would never hire another attorney. I cannot recommend Meridith enough to anyone seeking representation rooted in professionalism, compassion, and true integrity.

Every unprofessional .Receptionist rude sounded like she was upset I called looking for a lawyer

Response from the owner 12:38 11 Aug 25

This was not an honorable review. The intake specialist asked the caller if he was seeking services for himself or for someone else. The intake specialist asked that to check for conflict, but the caller called rude and hung up the phone. This bad review followed. Please treat us with respect as we work to provide the best service for you!

Just wrapped up a roller coaster case, Grace and Daniel delivered me such an amazing victory. Case was not easy, road was bumpy, but no matter what came my way, this amazing legal team backed me up. I pray people dont have to go through what I had to, but this legal team can and will guide, support, and deliver amazing results. Grace took time to not just make me “respondent” in the case. I was a human, a father, and they fought for me even when I got in my own way. Can’t recommend a better legal team!

The entire staff at this firm was professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, effective, and kind. There is no nickel and diming here. I'm happy with their service and especially the integrity in which they work. Mr. and Mrs. Ogbeide were an answer to my prayers.

I’m currently going through a complex same-sex divorce and custody case in Texas, and I truly don’t know where I’d be without Mr. Ogbeide. From the very beginning, he has been honest, upfront, and transparent (qualities that are unfortunately rare in the legal world).

Unlike other attorneys I’ve encountered, Mr. Ogbeide doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He laid out the realities of Texas law, the possible outcomes I might face, and helped me prepare for each step of the process. He is incredibly patient, communicative, and always present. He doesn’t just treat you like a case number, he speaks to you like a real person, with genuine care and legal guidance that makes you feel supported and seen.

Even though my case is still ongoing, I couldn’t wait to express how much I appreciate his integrity and dedication. If you’re looking for an attorney who will fight for you, TELL YOU THE TRUTH, and stand by your side with both legal expertise and compassion, I highly recommend Mr. Ogbeide and his team.

Once my case is done, I will be back again to give an update

Response from the owner 16:41 06 Jun 25

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and your kind words. It’s a privilege to be able to walk alongside you during such a challenging time, and I’m honored that you trust me and the team to handle your case with honesty, compassion, and diligence. Your courage and openness have been a source of inspiration, and I want you to know that we’re here for you every step of the way.We look forward to standing by your side through the remainder of your case and ensuring the best possible outcome for you. Your trust and appreciation mean so much to us. Thank you again for your generous review—it truly motivates us to keep fighting for our clients.Warm regards,Daniel Ogbeide and the team

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I file for divorce in the Knox/Henderson area?

To file for divorce in Dallas County, you or your spouse must have lived in Texas for at least six months and in the county for at least 90 days. An attorney can help you with the necessary paperwork.

How is property divided in a high-asset divorce?

Texas is a community property state, but a “just and right” division may not be 50/50, especially with complex assets like business interests or stock portfolios. Expert valuation is key.

Is mediation required for divorce?

Yes, most Dallas County courts require mediation for contested divorces. It’s often a more efficient and cost-effective way to reach a settlement.

How are spousal support and alimony determined?

Spousal support is not automatic in Texas. A judge considers factors like the length of the marriage, a spouse’s ability to earn an income, and contributions to the marriage.

What should I do if a CPS caseworker contacts me?

Immediately consult with a CPS defense lawyer in Knox/Henderson. Do not make any statements without legal representation to protect your rights and your children’s well-being.
