Recognized in Ones to Watch since 2026

I hired Kaleigh Downing at Orsinger, Nelson, Downing & Anderson to represent me in my divorce, which involved complex child custody matters. From our first meeting, her background in Human Development and Family Studies was evident. She didn't just see my children as part of a legal file; she understood the family dynamics at play and advocated for a parenting plan that prioritized their emotional well-being. Her recognition by Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Family Law is well-deserved, as she combined sharp legal strategy with genuine empathy. Kaleigh was meticulous in preparing our case and explained every step in clear, understandable terms, which was invaluable during such a stressful time. We achieved a settlement that protected my interests and, most importantly, my relationship with my kids. The only minor critique I have is that during particularly busy periods, response times to non-urgent emails could stretch to 48 hours. However, her associate was always available for immediate concerns. For anyone in the Dallas area needing a family law attorney who is both a fierce advocate and a compassionate guide, I highly recommend Kaleigh. Her passion for serving families is not just a line in a bio—it's how she practices law every day.
