Ms.Rode was great from the beginning of my divorce case till the end! She is very professional and my divorce was finalized with the timely manner. She explained very clearly what me and my ex -husband need to do. Ms.Rode provided all necessary documentation for us to sign and complete: waver, divorce decree and affidavit. Once everything was signed, court date was scheduled and divorce was granted by the judge. I would recommend her to everyone who is looking for a divorce attorney in San Antonio, TX. She is very nice, easy to work with, and very professional !

Agatha & her team are a knowledgeable, dedicated, professional & caring team who took care of my case very promptly. Choosing an understanding divorce attorney can be a hard decision during trying days of life, & Agatha Rode did a great job completing this complex case.

My only regret with Ms Rode is not using her when I originally got divorced! My first lawyer was a joke. Ms Rode is the real deal…..she was upfront and honest when I first met with her about my case. She comes to court prepared and is a hammer in the court room. I was definitely happy she was on my side. If I ever had to go to court again (which I hope is NEVER), I will absolutely choose Ms Rode.
October 31, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Look no further…Agatha is best option by far!
Agatha and Kayla have been a source of peace when going through my complex and highly combative divorce. Agatha has always been very responsive to both emails and phone calls. She is very professional and well respected both on and off the “court”. She is focused on making sure the well-being of your children is at the forefront of every step of the process. This team is the best in San Antonio, and I would recommend them to everyone who is in need of the best kind of legal assistance.

I wish that I would have known about Mrs Rode 2 lawyers ago. When I first met with her in 2012 I was optimistic as I was in the Air Force and stationed in North Carolina with a 9 year old daughter living in Texas with her “mom”. It was rough exercising visitation with a non complaint custodial parent who refused to support a relationship with her father. I was paying child support since birth. When we moved to San Antonio in 2014, that all changed. Mrs Rode got things rolling before we even settled in. We realized her health and education were not being taken care of. We were given extended visitation and in less than a year was awarded 50% custody with offset CS. After working that arrangement for 18 months and numerous visits to court we were granted full custody. They were a lot of struggles and surprises along the way but due to Mrs Rode calm court demeanor, knowledge of family law and anticipated moves of the opposing council we stayed 3 steps ahead. Agatha always seemed like everything was right where they should be. Her confidence was a huge benefit to have on my side of the bench. She prepped me before every court appearance and had us prepared for any outcome. An additional trait of hers was managing my expectations. We all know that the court system is painful and a slow moving machine. Nothing happens over night and she did her job with integrity and fury. Great communicator and always replied immediately pending on the urgency of the matter at hand. At times she guided me thru long, hard, rocky roads and ensured that justice would prevail. It did. My family owes Agatha Rode a great debt that can’t be repaid, just enjoyed.

I cannot have found a better attorney to represent my case. She is extremely knowledgeable with lots of experience. She guided me every step of the way was always willing and eager to help me. I don’t have enough words to thank her for all her help/guidance when I went through something to be the toughest part of my life. Amazing person!

Agatha was confident when we reached out from a state on the east coast for representation in a family Law situation in Texas. Agatha’s knowledge of the Texas system and confidence that we were justified in our actions put us at ease. She told us what we needed to do and our case came out better than we could have imagined. She listened to our crazy story and understood the urgency of what we needed to be done. During the whole process we felt we could trust her and she would fight the good fight on our behalf. She is calm and level headed in court and was able to focus on the truth and displayed her prowess as an attorney when the other party tried to throw out desperate lies at the feet of the judge. We will be using her again in probably the very near future because, divorce is ugly. But Agatha helps you navigate your rights and truly feel you have a true advocate for your case. Her rates are worth every penny!

Agatha is a phenomenal and brilliant attorney! She was the third attorney I hired to handle my ongoing dispute with my ex-husband, who was taking me to court for the fourth time. I wish I would have hired her from the beginning and I could have saved a lot of stress and money. She not only got me additional time with my children, but pressed to ensure my ex-husband is responsible for paying the child support he should, travel costs, and he even paid for my court costs. She went above and beyond! I hope I am never in the position of needing an attorney again, but if I am I will call Agatha!
