Bernadette A. Barbee: Experienced Board Certified Family Law Attorney in Houston, TX

Portrait shot of Board Certified Family Law Attorney in Houston, Tx Bernadette A. Barbee

Almost 20 years ago, I started my legal career as a civil litigator for some of the most prestigious law firms in the country, handling complex commercial and business disputes, fiduciary litigation, and securities fraud cases. But something was always missing. As I went through life experiences like marriage, divorce, and personal victories and struggles, I realized my true calling was in helping families.

​

Now, I use my experience in high-stakes civil litigation to achieve successful outcomes in complex divorce cases, fighting to protect my clients' assets and businesses while ensuring they receive a fair share of the marital estate. But my focus is not just on financial outcomes. I understand the high cost of divorce and custody disputes in terms of the damage they can cause to families, and I work tirelessly to help my clients minimize that damage and prioritize the well-being of their children.

​

As a Board Certified Family Law attorney, I have the skills and knowledge to help families navigate the divorce process, whether through traditional litigation, mediation, or collaborative divorce. I am also honored to serve as a court-appointed attorney for children and parents in CPS matters. Whatever your situation, my goal is to help you achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.
