5 /5 Shishir Roy: Working with The Draper Law Firm has been one of the few bright spots in a very difficult three-year legal journey involving child custody and family court proceedings.
Back in August 2023, my criminal defense attorney who had seen what I and my daughter were going through strongly advised me to contact Holly Draper. He told me, “Holly is a real expert in the field of parental rights. Her podcast on child custody evaluations is where I learned what I know about them. She really seems like an authority on custody evaluations and knows a lot of evaluators and how to best handle them. She also won a well-known appeal that went all the way to the Texas Supreme Court regarding parental rights.” I only wish I had listened sooner.
I initially hesitated due to a Google review mentioning weekly invoices but now I know that the value Holly and her team bring far exceeds any such concern. Their integrity, diligence, and clarity are unmatched.
Before I hired Draper Law, I endured years of injustice: missed legal deadlines that cost me expert witnesses, false CPS reports, a fabricated arrest dismissed within minutes after discovery was released, and motions rubber-stamped without meaningful review. Financial matters were unjustly settled using outdated 2023 financials from the opposing party with no motions to compel and I lost over $150,000 in the process. A court-appointed “neutral” receiver acted with clear bias, and I was even told that had I done 5% of what the other parent had done, the court would have immediately awarded her sole custody simply because she was female. Through all this, I stayed quiet for my daughter’s sake.
In contrast, working with Holly and Sarah has been a blessing. For the first time, I felt like my daughter and I were not just a docket number. They brought clarity, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to justice especially where a child’s well-being is at stake. They didn’t make false promises. They delivered with honesty and precision.
Holly’s work is a lifeline for kids in Texas facing unfair district courts, which can be far worse bullies than any political talk out there. Please keep being a champion for kids who need a voice!
If you are in a custody battle, especially one where you are trying to protect a child amid difficult odds, you will not find a more capable or principled team. Holly Draper isn’t just a family law attorney she’s a force for good in a broken system.
