Top Best Family Lawyers | 21072 Available

I love being a lawyer.  I enjoy practicing law.  Advocacy is my passion.  Empathy is both my greatest strength and weakness.  My emotions are generally tempered by logic and I take an objective approach to assessing cases and advocating within them for the simple fact that I hate to lose.  I hate to lose because I take every one of my cases home with me.  I keep every one of my clients in my head, heart, and prayers.  I have handled extremely complicated and contentious divorces, custody disputes, restraining order hearings, criminal matters, lawsuits, and bankruptcies.  I have squared off against the biggest firms, banks, and the government, in an effort to bring balance to our system.  I have won sometimes and have lost sometimes, but I have always done my best.  That's the most I can and will ever promise, my best and nothing less.  I do not always take the gentlest approach, but I get the job done.

Family defines who I am both as a person and an attorney.  It is from my family that I continuously draw my inspiration to be a better person in my personal life, as well as a compassionate attorney in my professional life.  I understand that when you have asked for my help, you are most likely facing tough and defining decisions in your life.  With that in mind, my commitment to you is to advise you as best as I can and guide you through difficult times.  My counsel to you is two-fold.  Not only will I help you better understand and navigate the legal system that you will encounter in my role as an attorney, but I will also be there to support you emotionally.  While I will always be there to provide sound and strong legal advice, I understand that sometimes people just need someone to talk to.

As a Board-Certified Family Law attorney, my practice focuses on complex property and highly contentious custody cases across the State of Texas.  I likewise have a wide range of experience relating to drafting unique/tailored divorce provisions in shareholder and other business entity agreements, including formulas for valuation of the corresponding entity, with "belt and suspenders" to premarital and/or post-marital agreements.  I believe these types of agreements - premarital and post-marital agreements - create a form of "divorce insurance" - insuring and giving peace-of-mind not only to the client but also, when applicable, to the corresponding entity, new shareholders, or even investors from the instability that can often arise during a divorce.. I am Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, and a frequent speaker and author.  I have been recognized among Texas' Top Lawyers by Super Lawyers, including Top 50 Women in 2022.  The Houston Business Journal also recognized me among Women Who Mean Business in 2021.. I am a natural competitor, stemming from my extensive soccer experience at the collegiate and National levels.  I attended Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on a full athletic scholorship and played on the Women's Varsity Soccer Team for my four years at Wake Forest.  I graduated in 2007 from Wake Forest with a B.A. in Spanish and Communication, and immediately began my legal careeer at Southern Methodist University (SMU) Dedman School of Law, graduating in 2010.. My goal is to empower my clients to become effective advocates for themselves and their families by providing dedicated, zealous and results-oriented representation before, during, and after litigation.

I have been practicing exclusively in family law since graduating from law school. I opened my family law practice in 2005. I love my work because I believe that assisting families in moving through the challenges of the divorce process is important work that is not meant for the faint-of-heart.. Certified Legal Specialist – Family Law, State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization (2012 to present). Fellow, American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (2018 to present). Fellow, International Academy of Family Lawyers (2020 to present)

Darin Colburn’s first encounter with the legal system was during his parents’ divorce, which began when he was six years old and ended when he was twelve. More than twenty years later, having helped hundreds of clients navigate the murky waters of divorce, child custody, and other family law disputes, Darin tells many of his clients what he wishes someone would have told his parents back in the day: take a deep breath and don’t let the past stop you from building a better future.. It may have taken decades, but Darin’s parents are now friends, and both wish they had handled matters differently. In particular, they both have independently shared their regret over spending an exorbitant amount of money on legal fees during their divorce. In fact, Darin’s dad is fond of saying that if he had just settled early on and put the money that he spent on attorneys (that’s right, he had more than one) in the market, he would have retired decades ago. To help his clients avoid the pitfalls experienced by his parents, Darin employs a strategic, solution-oriented, and client-centric approach to the practice of law. He enjoys earning a client’s satisfaction by accomplishing their goals early on through skillful negotiation and settlement, thereby keeping more money in the client’s pocket.. As an undergraduate at the University of Arizona, Darin learned the ins and outs of cost-benefit analysis, graduating Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Economics from the Eller College of Management. During law school, Darin honed his skills in legal writing, research, and trial advocacy, earning multiple CALI awards (granted to the student with the highest grade in a given class). Darin graduated Magna Cum Laude, finishing law school with a final ranking in the top 5% of his class.. Despite a very strong track record of negotiating and settling cases favorably and cost-effectively for his clients, Darin is ultimately a trial lawyer at heart. From Darin’s perspective, negotiations and litigation go hand in hand, because strong trial advocacy leads to better settlement offers. After all, if the other side is going to take you seriously at the negotiation table, they have to perceive you as a threat in the courtroom. Darin is an experienced trial attorney that excels in high net worth divorce, complex business valuations, and messy custody disputes. In 2019, Darin was selected as a Top 40 Under 40 Trial Attorney by the American Institute of Trial Lawyers.. Darin was born and raised in Central Phoenix. When he is not lawyering, he is an avid reader, amateur home cook, and aspiring chess master. He also enjoys traveling abroad and spending quality time with his wife, Claire..
