Neda Garrett – KoonsFuller Family Law

The best-case scenario is that you never need a family law attorney, but should you be faced with divorce or child custody matters, you can certainly trust the team at KoonsFuller Family Law to represent you at the highest level. Voted by Living readers as the Best Family and Divorce Attorney in Plano/Frisco, KoonsFuller shareholder Neda Garrett is board certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specializations in and has amassed multiple accolades behind her name.

“When hiring a divorce attorney, the most important thing to consider is finding someone with experience handling cases similar to yours and that you can trust,” she shared. “High-net-worth divorces involve complex financial structures — assets, investments, business interests, trusts — and it’s critical that your attorney is well-versed in these areas.”

Additionally, in any divorce or child custody situation, Garrett advises you find someone who can navigate high-conflict situations and protect your interests in child custody matters.

“Beyond qualifications, trust and communication are key,” she said.

Garrett advises that she will listen to your concerns, explain the process clearly, and work with you to achieve the best possible outcome. She also informs clients that most cases can be resolved without going to court if approached with the right strategy and setting the tone early in the case.

“From the beginning,” she said, “I encourage open dialogue and transparency between both parties — as do most opposing counsels. I also make sure my clients understand the benefits of a negotiated settlement versus a drawn-out court battle.”

Settling a case not only saves significant time and legal expenses, but it also gives both parties more control over the outcome. In court, decisions are made by a judge who may not fully understand the nuances of your family or financial situation.

“By settling, you maintain a say in the outcome, which is particularly important when children or complex financial assets are involved,” said Garrett.

Alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, allows for solutions that a court may not offer, especially when dealing with nuanced issues like business ownership, asset division, or parenting plans.

“That said, sometimes settlement isn’t possible, whether due to one party’s unreasonable demands or an unwillingness to compromise,” conceded Garrett. “If that happens, we are always ready to aggressively advocate for our client in court.”

Over the years, Garrett has successfully handled numerous high-net-worth and high-conflict cases, many involving athletes, executives, and business owners. Her record speaks for itself in securing favorable outcomes, whether through negotiated settlements or court victories.

“I have a deep understanding of the complexities that arise in cases involving significant assets, business valuations, or child custody disputes,” she said. “My clients can trust that I will fight tenaciously to protect their interests, while also advising them with the long-term perspective in mind.”

With a combination of experience, resources, and a results-driven approach, Garrett and the team at KoonsFuller help clients achieve the resolutions they need to move forward.
