    She's the best of the best.
    I would recommend Tawny Rountree over and over again. She helped me navigate a stressful and long divorce, and she definitely knows her stuff! She helped me get things out of the divorce that I didn’t even know I was entitled to. She’s the best of the best.
    Nikki Cruz
    Most amazing attorney you could hope for!
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tawny Rountree is, hands down, the most amazing attorney you could ever hope for! She’s not just a brilliant legal advocate—she has an unbelievable heart for her clients. In the midst of my bitter divorce 4 years ago, Tawny wasn’t just my attorney… she became a trusted friend. Her compassion, wisdom, and even her great sense of humor helped me get through one of the darkest seasons of my life. Tawny negotiated the absolute best outcome for me—my ex-wife agreed to a permanent termination of alimony, which I never thought would happen. Just recently, when there was a last-minute request from my ex to modify a date in the agreement (with an ultimatum of “now or never”), Tawny—despite her busy schedule—revised and finalized the document within an hour of my request. Her speed, dedication, and attention to detail blew me away. If you’re going through anything involving family law, I highly recommend Attorney Tawny Rountree. I refer everyone I know to her because she’s not only professionally the best—she’s also a truly exceptional person. — Curt

    Ultimate Professional in Court
    Mr. Anum was the ultimate professional once we stepped inside the courtroom. I can’t thank Owenby Law staff and in particular Mr. Anum enough for handling my case. If you need an attorney, look no further than Owenby Law!
    Andre Rodall
    Jennifer is absolutely amazing!
    Jennifer is absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough great words about her! She's professional when times are emotional, she's caring, she understands, she is upfront about what can be done and the steps to get there, upfront about literally everything, gives you all the possible outcomes, and gives amazing advice! She's always there when you need her, even through her pregnancy! She's still there for me... all of us! Family law is a really "icky" thing! And I don't wish this even on my worst enemy. It's tricky, exhausting, mentally draining, and just plain out suck... but the worst of it all really is the kids that go through this. And Jennifer stays strong, caring, professional, and intelligent through the whole thing. I'm eternally grateful to have Jennifer in my corner helping hold me together.

    Extremely helpful and caring!
    She was extremely helpful, caring, and on point! This stuff (family court) sucks for everyone involved! And it's so confusing. I'm glad I had her in my corner to help me through this day. Thank you for being there for us and helping our voice be heard!

    Couldn't have done it without her
    Found this law firm on Google to assist with family law while stationed overseas. I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Garcia-Baker. She helped me through a very stressful chapter of my life, and she made it as easy as possible for me. I'm thankful for the effort I received. I felt the careful dedication she put into each interaction, and I honestly couldn't have gone through this without her.
    Dale Robinson
    An Exceptional Advocate
    I’ve been working with Debora Cornelia Curt at Owenby Law since February as she represents me in my ongoing divorce, and I truly cannot speak highly enough of her. From our very first conversation, Debora has been everything you would hope for in a family law attorney—professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly well-organized. She has taken the time to understand the details of my situation and has guided me with a steady hand through a process that is, by nature, stressful and emotionally draining. What sets Debora apart is her calm and composed demeanor, especially when things get heated. My soon-to-be ex-wife and her attorney have made a number of unreasonable and, frankly, absurd requests, but Debora never gets rattled. She responds with logic, clarity, and confidence, which in turn gives me confidence. She doesn’t get drawn into unnecessary conflict, and she’s not interested in wasting anyone’s time—or money. Her communication is always timely, clear, and direct, and I always know what to expect. She’s also incredibly fair and transparent when it comes to billing, which has built a strong sense of trust throughout this process. Debora’s work ethic, integrity, and commitment to her clients truly stand out. She’s been a calming and grounding force during a really difficult chapter of my life. Knowing she’s in my corner makes all the difference, and I’m grateful every day that I chose her and Owenby Law to represent me. If you’re going through a divorce or any complex family matter, I can’t recommend Debora Cornelia Curt highly enough. She is an exceptional advocate and a genuinely good person.

    Above and Beyond Service
    I recently worked with Carleshia Jimerson, Esq. on a paternity case and she went above and beyond during the entire process. She was professional, efficient, and above all—empathetic. The pricing and fees were very reasonable for the attention to detail given to this challenging case and how swiftly it was resolved. 10/10 recommend Ms. Jimerson and Owenby Law for any of your family law needs.

    Amazing Experience at Owenby Law
    I absolutely had the best experience at Owenby Law, with lawyer D. Curt Esq. at the Atlantic Blvd office. She was so personable, super friendly and just an awesome person. The whole process was so fast. The only negative would be that I did have to pay additional money after the retainer. Although the whole process took 4 days total. I believe 9 hrs total. That’s the only negative though. I would use them again if I needed a family attorney. Definitely keeping D. Curt’s info because she was just amazing.

    Micah went the extra mile!

    Owenby Law: Absolutely Phenomenal
    So, as I'm sure is the case for most people, getting a divorce was not a part of my game plan. When I wound up needing one, I was kind of at a loss. I had no idea where to turn or what to do. Google brought me to Owenby Law and I am so grateful to them. I worked with Attorney Hall and she was absolutely phenomenal. She was knowledgeable, empathetic, and provided me with resources to help me know what to expect. The office staff are also great to work with. I definitely recommend this law firm! Thank you, Attorney Hall!

    • Can I change my child custody arrangement?
      You can request a modification of a child custody arrangement if there has been a significant change in circumstances affecting the child's welfare. You will need to present this change to the court for approval, which can be guided by a family law attorney.
    • How can I start a divorce?
      To start a divorce, you need to file a petition with the family court in your area. The requirements can vary by location, so consulting with a family law attorney can help ensure that you meet all necessary criteria and understand the process.
    • What is spousal support?
      Spousal support, or alimony, is a payment made to a former spouse following a divorce to provide financial assistance. The amount and duration depend on factors such as the length of the marriage, income disparity, and each party's financial situation.
    • How is child support calculated?
      Child support is calculated based on guidelines that consider the income of both parents, the needs of the child, and occasionally the time each parent spends with the child. The specifics can vary by jurisdiction, and a family lawyer can help clarify the details for your case.
