Epstein Family Law founder Robert Epstein has been selected to The Best Lawyers in America for an eighth year, with the 2027 recognition holding particular significance: Robert has been named Lawyer of the Year in Dallas/Fort Worth for Family Law Mediation.
The publication also recognized him for collaborative law and family law in general. These distinctions reflect not only the breadth of his legal expertise but also his commitment to helping clients resolve complex matters through multiple pathways—whether through skilled litigation, collaborative negotiation, or the mediation process.
“I'm deeply grateful for this recognition from The Best Lawyers in America, and especially honored to be named Lawyer of the Year in family law mediation for Dallas/Fort Worth,” Robert said. “This award is particularly meaningful because it acknowledges our firm's commitment to providing families with options as they go through the divorce process.”
Robert's Expanded Practice
Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, Robert has recently expanded the firm’s service offerings to include mediation.
A successful mediator, and now a Lawyer of the Year for family law mediation, Robert’s mediation style reflects his overarching philosophy: No case is too big or too complicated. He’s committed to helping couples resolve their differences amicably when a courtroom solution is unnecessary.
About the Epstein Family Law Team
The firm’s – and their clients’ – success is truly a team effort. Associates Jordan Watson and Tarah Hill bring their own unique perspectives and experience to every matter. Jordan was recently recognized as a Rising Star in Super Lawyers and a Best Lawyer under 40 in D Magazine. Tarah is collaboratively trained but is also a fierce advocate in the courtroom who began her career at the firm as a law clerk while studying law at Southern Methodist University. She, along with Watson, are integral parts of the Epstein Family Law legal team.
The firm’s support staff, comprised of paralegal and office manager Jenn Huey, paralegal Ashley Love, and legal assistant Taylor Weesner, ensure that the office runs smoothly and that client matters are handled efficiently. They’re often the first people clients meet in person, and they set the tone by demonstrating professionalism and care, providing reassurance that anyone who chooses to hire EFL has made the right decision.
