Hello everyone.

Hard to believe that I actually am doing the cliched "asking for a friend" thing but here goes...

I'm originally from San Antonio and I've never lived in the Metroplex, but I was contacted by a friend who moved to Dallas last year. My friend asked me if I knew any civil lawyers in Dallas. I don't know any but I thought it could not hurt to create a thread in this forum on Texags and see if the Metroplex Aggie Network could get me a recommendation or two.

I have a bit of information regarding why my friend wants to speak with a lawyer but I did not want to put any of it in this post.

Thanks to you all in advance for any recommendations you can give me!

You need to significantly narrow down the need. Asking for a civil lawyer narrows it down very little.

Thank you for the replies.

So all that I know about the situation is that my friend, who is from Jordan, married an American man last year. Unfortunately her husband has a jealous/unstable ex-wife who has been harassing him and his extended family. I'm told that the ex-wife SWAT-ted them recently and they have gone to the Dallas police and the FBI to file complaints.

When my friend asked me if I knew any civil lawyer in Dallas my initial thought was that they wanted help with getting a restraining order placed on the ex-wife, but my friend says that the ex-wife has filed a lawsuit against her husband. She did not tell me what her husband is being sued for. All she says is that her husband needs a lawyer to defend against whatever this civil suit is.

That's all that I know at this point. Thank you in advance for your advice

I am a lawyer, but I am not always civil. *ba dun dun*

It sounds like your friend may need a family law attorney. That would be me. If it is a case in Dallas, then I can give some names of good Dallas family law attorneys, but I don't venture to Dallas often enough to know the judicial personalities.

If you wanted, you could go here: https://courtsportal.dallascounty.org/DALLASPROD and search your friend's husband's name to try and find what was filed against him. Then you could at least provide the causes of action being asserted or a quick gist of the suit and it would be easier to provide a recommendation.
