The Law Office of Carol A. Wilson is now Of Counsel to Siebman Forrest

Attorneys Carol A. Wilson and Clyde M. Siebman are excited to announce their new professional partnership, as Carol A. Wilson officially becomes Of Counsel to Siebman Forrest.

Founder of The Law Office of Carol A. Wilson, Carol has been Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1992. She has tried hundreds of family law cases in bench trials, jury trials, evidentiary court hearings and mediations throughout Texas. Clyde serves as Founding Partner of Siebman Forrest LLP and has been Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1993. He has tried hundreds of civil bench and jury trials in Texas in both state and federal courts.
With a friendship dating back to law school at SMU, Carol and Clyde have enjoyed both a friendship and professional relationship for more than 3 decades. Building on this history,

Carol and Clyde wanted to enhance the quality, experience and capabilities of their respective firms by combining forces to better serve the needs of clients. In effect, a powerful one-two punch can now be leveraged on clients’ behalf to handle matters ranging from civil litigation, intellectual property, community property, marital agreements, divorces and to custody.

One of the best ways to avoid costly trials in family law disputes is to hire experienced trial lawyers. Well-acquainted with the courtroom, Clyde and Carol both are ready, willing and able to try a case, if necessary. However, this fact often encourages opposing parties to reach amicable agreements without the need for a trial, which is certainly the preferred course of resolution in family law disputes.

Clyde and Carol look forward to putting their new professional partnership to work to secure successful outcomes for their clients.

Thank you for all the hard work you have done for my baby girl. We have praised God for all he has given us. We truly believe that you are one of his gifts that we will always cherish. I know that it is your job to do what you do, but never did I feel like (just) another job or case. You made me feel like family. I greatly appreciate you and your hard work.

Carol was a seasoned professional in every interaction with her. She very skillfully and successfully takes on the larger and big reputation family law firms. Carol also knows well the former Judges that serve as mediators and she has the quantitative skills to mastermind the spreadsheets that get used for the settlements. I could not feel better about all of the sound advice and counseling that she provided me through a challenging divorce.

I met Carol Wilson several years ago and regularly brainstorm with her on complex legal theories and strategy. Although the subject matter of our practices differ, I've found Carol to be a great resource on trial presentation.
Carol has been a guest speaker two years in a row to my mentee group of high school students from the DISD Law Magnet. She was one of the students' absolute favorites after a presentation in which she made complex issues of family and Constitutional law accessible and relevant. I routinely refer family law cases and questions to Carol.

Good article. This is actually a good reason for borrowers to have counsel review the loan closing documents prior to closing on the refinance. Most borrowers are not represented at all and simply sign what is presented to them at closing. The other issue is that most lenders have a “take it or leave it” attitude. They check their little boxes on the list and are afraid to vary from the list.

Carol Wilson works diligently and tirelessly for her clients. She is tenacious in Court. Carol consistently out-prepares her opponents and is always ready. Her approach is well-reasoned and she works hard to teach clients what to expect in Court. Carol knows how the family law Judges think and how they will react to the facts of a specific case. Further, Judges appreciate and respect her as she is the epitome of a professional. I personally have seen her hard work help her clients - and she will always work hard for you.

 I have been Carol's opposing counsel on cases. She is professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and respectful at all times. Her trustworthiness and reputation serves her clients well as she is often able to obtain agreements to procedural matters that deviate from standard rules which helps save money and helps make over all settlement possible.

I highly recommend Carol Wilson and her team. They were incredibly kind and professional.
Through the most difficult time in my life, Carol was a strong, knowledgeable, compassionate and steady presence that helped me navigate the many challenges I faced. She was empathetic and caring but also tough, telling me plainly when I had to make difficult choices (and when she thought I was making a mistake). She always returned my emails and phone calls promptly and made me feel like I was a priority. Yes, divorce is very expensive, but I have spoken with people who spent a lot more money then I did and did not get the personal care and attention that I got from Carol. I'm really grateful that she and her team were there for me.

You gave me some very fine advice during my divorce in the area of what to get upset about and fight and what to just let go of. I actually now give similar advice to my clients in employment law. Somewhat like family law, employment can be very emotionally charged. It’s important, as you advised me, to drill down on the important things and to put aside those things that aren’t going to matter at all three weeks after the case is over.
