 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t express enough gratitude for Matt and his team! Knowing what I was about to go through, I needed to do my research when it came to lawyers. I had countless phone and  in person consultations before choosing someone to represent me. After all, I felt that the person I would choose had to be the most important thing I decided on.
In the end I chose Matt because our conversations were never generic, or textbook , they were genuine and honest. His recommended course of action truly seemed the most beneficial for me.
I could see he had my best interest at heart and that he was listening to me… and that he valued my thoughts.
I felt like I could trust him and I’m glad I went with my gut because we just wrapped up my case and it went in my favor!
Matt definitely exceeded my expectations and I’d refer him to anyone without hesitation. But, most importantly, Matt didn’t fail me, and at that time it’s what I needed the most.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which family law service applies to my situation?

It depends on where you are in the process and whether both parties agree on the key issues. If you and your spouse agree on terms, an uncontested divorce may be the fastest path. If custody, support, or property is disputed, you’ll need full representation. A free consultation is the quickest way to get clarity.

Can one attorney handle multiple family law issues in the same case?

Yes, and it’s usually better that way. Divorce, custody, and child support are often intertwined, and having one attorney handle all related issues avoids conflicting strategies and unnecessary duplicate costs.

Do you serve all of Bexar County, or just San Antonio?

The Gilbert Law Office serves San Antonio and the surrounding Bexar County area, including families connected to Boerne and Kendall County through our Dominion/Boerne office.

What should I bring to a family law consultation?

Any existing court orders, relevant financial documents, and a general timeline of the issue you’re facing. It’s not required, but it helps us give you more specific guidance in the first meeting.

How much does family law representation cost?

Costs vary significantly depending on the service — an uncontested divorce is far less costly than a contested custody dispute, for example. We offer a free consultation to review your situation and give you clear, upfront guidance on fees.

What if my case involves more than one of these issues at once?

That’s common — a divorce case often includes custody and child support simultaneously. Contact the Gilbert Law Office and we’ll build a strategy that addresses everything together rather than piecemeal.
