Calabrese Budner family law firm is second to none, if you need top level care and legal expertise in family law case than look no further. During my complex case journey, I had to make a switch and was glad that I connected with CB via a referral. Ms. Hays is the front facing and showed utmost care, knowledge and with little effort on my part drafted my initial case detail. Next was Mr. Budner, calm, listened well, was present and aware of all legal intricacies. He helped me draft a comprehensive action plan and delivered on what he promised. Ms. Hernandez is yet another rockstar in this firm. Who went into deep details regarding the possession and ensured my rights as a father are protected and granted. They are all experts in their domain, are prompt and extremely responsive. Will not rest until their client was fully satisfied. I am glad and honored to have them on my side. Their rates were decent unlike other hiked up firms. The big difference is that this firm cares about families and will ensure fair judgement. Keep up the great work CB firms... TWO THUMBS UP

I highly recommend Calabrese Budner for their exceptional legal services in helping me secure visitation rights with my grandchildren from their adopted parents. From the beginning, Carla Calabrese demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and a genuine compassion for my situation. Carla s expertise, diligence, and unwavering support were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome. Carla and her team kept me well-informed throughout the process, patiently answered all my questions, and fought tirelessly on my behalf. Thanks to their dedication and skill, I can now enjoy precious time with my grandchildren. A special thank you to Ashley Jones for all her time and dedication. If you need a reliable and compassionate attorney, look no further than Calabrese Budner.

If there is a more knowledgeable and compassionate family lawyer in Texas, I would know; there isnt. She is beyond top tier, she defines excellence in family law practice. I have known Elisa for many years and worked with her as a consultant to her clients in some of the most challenging cases in my long career. Her legal expertise is unmatched and her emotional intelligence in managing her clients and understanding the psychological issues of the children is unmatched. While oriented with a preference for settlements, when circumstances demand her strategic legal perspective and courtroom expertise is world class. I have referred many people to Elisa over the years and will continue to do so; shes the best!

From the very first consultation, she demonstrated an exceptional understanding of family law and provided me with clear, practical advice that was both compassionate and professional.

What stood out most to me was her genuine care and dedication. She went above and beyond to ensure that I felt supported and informed every step of the way. Her empathetic approach made a significant difference during an emotionally taxing time. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Carla and her team at Calabrese Budner. I am an oil and gas lawyer who has had the opportunity to refer many family law clients to her firm over the years. I have not only referred many friends and clients to Carla, but I have hired her as an expert to assist me with cases on which I needed family law expertise. Also, I have collaborated with her on family law matters for some of my clients. I highly recommend Carla to anyone looking to hire not just a highly skilled lawyer who knows the law, but one who goes the extra mile to help clients with the emotional fallout that often accompanies family law cases. Her firm is also consistently ranked as one of the BEST family law firms in Dallas!

I was referred to Carla Calabrese through a friend of mine. Her advice, both legal and personal, were so very helpful during one of the worst times of my life. Im not quite sure how I would have gotten through it without Carla and her exceptional team. Truly top notch, professional, caring and thorough.

The entire team at Calabrese Budner, LLP is fabulous. They handled the adoption finalization of our son and made the process simple. Carla Calabrese personally answered questions for both my husband and I, and ensured her team was taking great care of us. Working with Katie Higgins and Ashley Jones was fantastic. Katie and Ashley are responsive, caring and incredibly thoughtful. I couldnt recommend this team more.

I have worked known and worked with the attorneys at Calabrese Huff for several years. This group is pro-family and works hard to provide the best solutions for everyone in difficult family circumstances, such as divorce, child custody, and parental alienation. As a last-ditch marriage counselor, I appreciate family law attorneys whose goal is to limit collateral damage and help people through difficult family transitions.

By the time my husband and I reached Carla and Calabrese Huff on our hopeful path to parenthood, we had already been through infertility treatments, including IUI and IVF, and a surrogate, all of which were unsuccessful. We began to open our hearts to the idea of adoption, and a new chapter started. Friends had used Calabrese Huff as their adoption attorney and spoke highly of Carla and her team. We had so many questions. Carla is an incredible professional. She took time with us; she was thorough, knowledgeable, and comprehensive. Not only is Carla an excellent attorney, she is also an adoptive mother herself. Both would prove invaluable. She could relate and empathize. While informing us of the law, she didn t lapse into attorney speak she was aware of the potential risks and how to explain them so that we absorbed the information because she had literally been there. There were social workers and home visits; we had a profile that detailed us, our marriage, and our hopes as potential parents. We were matched with a birth mother who was four months pregnant; we went to California to meet her. Cradle of Hope, a sister company completed the final study and visit; Cradle of Hope is connected to Calabrese Huff, so it was much easier to finalize with everyone on the same page. We waited in California for three days for the state to approve the adoption of our baby girl, which was finalized in California through an attorney there. We were absolutely over the moon. When our daughter was two, we decided to adopt again. We worked with Amia, the legal assistant at Calabrese Huff, who was wonderful and helpful: an absolute advocate. This time, however, was more difficult. Our attempt to adopt fell through at four in the morning when the birth mother decided she did not want to place her child for adoption. I m not going say the situation was not devastating, but Carla was up at the hospital attempting to solve the situation from any and all angles. When the birth mother showed the first sign that she might change her mind, Amia immediately contacted the social worker and Carla to go to the hospital. While ultimately the birth mother chose not to place her child for adoption, both Amia and Carla made every possible effort they could on our behalf. After another admittedly riskier attempt to adopt a baby fell through, we felt we could not emotionally move forward to adopt again but Carla told me not to give up. While we weren t even signed up as potential parents at this point, the adoption agency Carla had referred us to made us aware of a month-old baby available for adoption, and less than twenty-four hours later, our son was placed with us for adoption. Carla had fought so long and hard for us that when this situation arose, the agency called us first. Carla and Amias were very supportive throughout this tumultuous time; I had their cell phones; they were available for us when we needed them. Recently, my husband and I were on a foster and adoption panel for our church. We stressed to couples wanting to adopt the importance of connecting with an attorney who understood the complexities surrounding adoption. Offline to those who asked, we specifically recommended Carla and Calabrese Huff. I know three adoptive couples who have recently adopted without any disruptions; it s not as if problems always occur. An attorney or an adoption agency cannot guarantee that a birth mother won t change her mind in the eleventh hour. But having the safety net of an attorney who understands and is sensitive to the intricacies of the adoption process, to me, is a necessity. People ask, after what we ve been through, and I always say definitively, absolutely, it is worth it. Yes, it is scary that a birth mother might change her mind, but there are risks with everything in life. Because we understood and took those risks, we now have two thriving children, ages one and four.
