A recent case exemplifies Webb Family Law’s persistence. Representing a mother whose custody rights were challenged post-divorce, the team spent eight months in litigation. The case went back and forth in court for months, which was physically and emotionally draining on the client. She was being called an unfit mother and to make things worse she was physically separated from her child who was required to live in another city.

“Sometimes circumstances don’t always go your way at first, but we hang in there. We were with her every step of the way, letting her know that any setback can be temporary and that we were totally focused on her needs,” Webb says. Eventually, the case went to court where they turned things around and got full custody for their client.

While approximately 80% of the firm’s cases settle outside of court, Webb and her team are always prepared to go the distance when necessary. “Our first goal is resolution, but not at the expense of our client’s best interests.”

Webb also handles Hague Convention cases involving international child abduction. These cases are highly jurisdictional and may involve state or federal courts. When the U.S. State Department receives a report of a child wrongfully removed from another country and brought to Texas, they contact attorneys like Webb. “It’s fair to say we sometimes operate on an international level.”

Handling emotionally charged family matters requires more than legal skill—it takes emotional intelligence. “Sometimes, we have to serve as both attorney and counselor. Clients may be grieving, angry or overwhelmed. We have to balance empathy with honesty and keep them grounded,” Webb says.

Internally, that same balance shows in the firm’s collaborative culture. “Each case is assigned to an attorney, but we work as a team. If someone needs backup or insight, we’re there. This is a family business in every sense.”
