What Cases Can We Help You With?
Our Allen, TX legal team is highly experienced in all sorts of family law-related cases, such as:
- Divorce: Allow us to walk you through the dissolution of your marriage, whether you want to file for divorce or were handed divorce papers by your spouse, possibly by surprise. From high-asset divorces and military divorces to contested divorces and uncontested divorces, we really can handle it all on your behalf. Your best interests are our own, especially because you’re a local just like us!
- Child custody: Child custody cases in Texas often involve questions about sole or joint custody agreements, and how to approach concepts like physical and legal custody. Overall, the court wants to see a child custody arrangement that reflects what is best for your child’s development. We keep this truth in focus while helping our clients with child custody cases, including those that go to trial.
- Estate law: In many ways, estate law overlaps family law and divorce, so we’re able to apply our knowledge and experience twice over. For example, we can help you create a will or trust that plans for the future; we can also help revise your will if you get a divorce and don’t want your assets distributed as you had originally planned.
We have helped families just like yours through all types of divorce and family law-related matters. Find out how one of our Board-Certified Family Law Specialists can help you.
Will Your Case Go to Court?
Many people who start a family law or divorce case wonder if they’re headed for court. The truth is that most cases do go to court, but not for reasons you might think. Typically, any agreement or arrangement made through family law or divorce processes must go to a court for final approval, even if both parties or spouses completely agree on it. For this reason, yes, your case will likely go to court.
However, if your case is going to court for adversarial proceedings, then you still don’t have to worry. Coker, Robb & Cannon, Family Lawyers in Allen has a team led by three Texas Board of Legal Specialization Board Certified Family Specialists on our team who are also highly qualified to take cases to trial and litigation. No matter what needs to happen to keep your case moving forward, we’ll be able to help.

I hired Jackie Cannon for my divorce and I’m so so thankful to God for sending her my way. I met with so many lawyers regarding my divorce case and child custody but nobody ever explained like Jackie did. She was patient, explained everything in detail, took her time with me always and never rushed me. Her paralegal Holly Keen, I would say the best too because every time I had a question I would email holly and Jackie and I would get a response from them both right away. I would definitely recommend Jackie, Holly and Lauren.- Marium

I worked with Malorie Crosley for about a year on my case. The process, albeit long, was always clearly spelled out for me. I was also impressed with the timely responses of my inquiries. The process was very unfamiliar to me, and Kim and Malorie were always very helpful to answer all of my questions and keep me comfortable throughout the whole process. They provided sound advice and were able to navigate the complex process very efficiently. I will definitely use their services again.- Christian
Frequently Asked Questions
More Questions? Consult an Attorney at Coker, Robb & Cannon, Family Lawyers!
-
What should I bring to my first consultation?
During your first consultation with our Allen family lawyers, we will usually want to see copies of any documentation that could be relevant to your case, such as bank statements, lists of important or valuable assets, and anything related to the unique needs of your child. We’ll let you know before you arrive what we would like to see.
-
What are the biggest mistakes people make when handling their own legal issues?
The biggest mistake people often make when handling a legal issue without a lawyer is making that decision in the first place. Laws surrounding divorce, estate administration, child custody, and so on are all complicated, and the outcome of such cases will be impactful. Trying to get the outcome you want without a legal guide can be risky, so it is never recommended. Even the court or judge will advise that you at least talk to a lawyer if you bring a case, claim, or petition without one.
-
How can I prepare for a family court hearing?
You should know what courtroom etiquette is expected where your case will be heard. Our attorneys are highly familiar with the courts and courtroom staff in and around Allen, so we can tell you more about what to expect and how to act. The baseline advice for preparing for a family court hearing, though, is to act professionally, be polite, and bring all necessary documentation.
-
What are my options if I am experiencing domestic violence?
If you are in immediate danger of physical domestic violence, try to call 911 when it is safe to do so. If you are not in immediate danger, you can talk to our attorneys about getting a protective order. Please keep in mind that your abuser may be able to access information about the phone calls you place and websites you visit if they have access to the device that you are currently using.
-
What are the main benefits of mediation in family law cases?Mediation can keep tempers and stress lower during a family law case by encouraging everyone to act cooperatively. In many cases, mediation also allows a family law dispute or divorce to end in less time than had it gone to court. Furthermore, when a case doesn’t need to go to trial, the costs associated with it tend to be lower.
