My experience with Ogbeide Law was positive & successful. Mr Ogbeide is a very personable individual, which is the entire reason I hired this firm. Avian his wife is just as amazing as well. Meridith was in charge of my custody case, she was knowledgeable & professional. It was handled with such care which made it less stressful for me. I highly recommend this firm for any of your legal needs.

I worked with Meridith Black through my divorce and she was great. Court process doesn't always work the way you want it, but I will definitely recommend her.

Lawyer Daniel Ogbeide provided me with excellent representation. I needed a family lawyer the next day in court. Mr. Ogbeide actually traveled 120 miles for my case. You have to listen to him. He’s not a therapist, but he gives excellent sound advice.
He’s an awesome defender and he tells it like it is. So don’t waste your time with someone else.

Every time I have legal questions, he always answers. Had I lived nearby, he would be my #1 attorney to use.

This company will just take your money honestly. My original attorney quit or was fired and I wasn’t notified until months after the fact. To remedy this they just assigned different attorneys to me. This caused a lot of confusion at the office because some how no one knew where we were with paperwork and processes in my case. Everything that I requested to be added in my custody order was left out. They did not notify the opposing party but told me that they did. They would ignore my text messages when I wanted to ask for advice or information until I called the actual office and had someone get them to call me back. One would say she’s in a meeting and hang up in my face, and I never even got to work with her. Their billing department however was awesome. How ironic.. If you are a father seeking custody or getting an order established do not use this company. You will get the run around, and they will contact the opposing party behind your back. My attorneys were Jazmine Spencer(last moment), Erin Thompson, and Grace Smith. Daniel’s wife however was helpful and polite during my time with this office. Do not waste your time.

I contacted this law firm during an extremely stressful and sensitive period. From the intake call to my interactions with the attorney, the entire experience was world class. Daniel was my assigned attorney and he did a phenomenal job. Daniel was knowledgeable and wise with respect to the subject matter, he understood my needs and was very clear about how we should achieve those means. He was very clear about risk management, extremely grounded, and displayed a sophisticated level of foresight. His advice and counsel was measured, calm and intentional. He was responsive, timely and provided stellar legal service. I highly recommend this law firm.

I had a really good experience speaking with this attorney today. Even though he is not my attorney, he was professional, responsive, and extremely efficient. I reached out with a request and he handled what needed to be done quickly and without unnecessary delay.
He made sure everything was completed right away and promptly sent over the decree and related documents. The entire interaction was straightforward, respectful, and didn’t take long at all. I genuinely appreciated how smoothly the process went and how seriously he treated my request.
Based on my experience, I would absolutely recommend him for his professionalism, responsiveness, and efficiency.

I had an amazing experience with Grace. She was very personable, patient, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. From start to finish, she made me feel like I wasn’t just another case — she felt like family. She fought for me through the entire trial and I couldn’t be more thankful. I highly recommend her!

I had a consultation with this office,and within those 30 minutes I knew the kind of attorney I want representing me. They were understanding, knowledgeable, honest. The fees were explained up front which I appreciated. I have been through 2 different law firms,and I wish I would have called them first. Would have saved me alot of money, time and stress.

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.

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. Ms. Meredith Black was assigned to my case and I couldn't have been happier. Thank you all for helping me navigate my way through this difficult time.

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

Attorney Daniel sought to understand my context and goals. He ensured good follow up with me and his team while sharing a balanced perspective on costs and outcomes.
I am withholding a 5th star for initial challenges with junior lawyer that was quickly recognized and resolved.
I will recommend you for future services.
