Coker, Robb & Cannon, Family Lawyers

Focus and practice areas

Coker, Robb & Cannon, Family Lawyers handles family law matters for clients in North Texas. The firm opened in August 1998 and has worked in this area since. Family cases make up the bulk of what the attorneys take on.

The family law list is wide. It covers divorce, collaborative divorce, annulments, child custody, child support and paternity. It also covers property division, debt division, spousal support, adoption and post-decree modifications. Protective orders in domestic violence situations are part of the work too.

Premarital and prenuptial agreements sit on the same list. That places some of the firm's work before a marriage starts, and some of it well after a decree is signed. Modifications matter here, since custody and support orders often need revisiting as children grow and incomes change.

Estate work alongside the family docket

The firm also handles wills, trusts and probate. In my opinion, that pairing makes sense for a family practice. Divorce and remarriage tend to raise estate questions right away: who inherits, who is named, what a trust should say once a household changes shape.

How the team is built

The attorneys page lists ten lawyers, supported by paralegals and staff. Six of them are shareholders. The remaining four carry the title of attorney or associate attorney.

The shareholders are Duane L. Coker, Kelly K. E. Robb, Jacqueline Cannon, Shelby D. Hart, Malorie Crosley and Anthony Pax. Duane L. Coker is the founding shareholder. Kelly K. E. Robb and Jacqueline Cannon are senior shareholders, with Hart, Crosley and Pax listed as shareholders.

Board certification across the ownership group

Every one of those six is Board Certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. That is worth pausing on. Texas board certification requires substantial experience in the field, peer and judicial references, and a written examination in the specialty area.

Having all six shareholders hold it is a meaningful data point for a directory built around evidence. As a reviewer, I treat certification differently from a slogan, because a state body verifies it and the credential can be checked independently.

Who the associates are

Lauren Cardamone practices family law as an associate attorney. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Texas A&M University in 2011, then a J.D. from Texas A&M University School of Law in May 2015. During law school she interned and assisted at family law firms in the Fort Worth area.

Jane Mullis earned her Juris Doctor from the University of North Texas at Dallas in 2022. She joined the firm as an associate attorney after working at The Wright Firm, LLP. Her caseload includes divorce and separation, child custody, child support, uncontested divorce and adoption.

Sarahi Saucedo practices family law from the Denton office. Tyler Livingston is listed on the roster as an attorney. The site names each of them with a title, which gives a prospective client a clear picture of who works there.

Where the firm works

Coker, Robb & Cannon runs three offices. The main location is in Denton. The other two are in Frisco and Fort Worth.

Those offices line up with the counties the firm serves: Denton County, Collin County and Tarrant County. Family cases are tied to the courthouse where the suit is filed, so proximity to the relevant district courts carries weight in day to day practice. A Denton County divorce and a Tarrant County divorce can move at different speeds under different local rules.

Video consultations are available for clients who prefer to meet remotely. That option helps in family matters, where a parent may be managing school schedules, a job and a court date in the same week.

What the record shows

The picture that emerges is a firm with a defined subject area and a long run in it. Twenty seven years in family law across the same three North Texas counties suggests a steady practice built around local courts.

The credential evidence is the strongest element here. Six board certified shareholders in a ten attorney firm gives the roster real depth in the specialty, and it means a client working with an associate still sits inside a firm where the ownership group has passed the state's certification bar.

What a prospective client can verify

Board certification status can be confirmed through the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Bar standing can be confirmed through the State Bar of Texas. Law school and graduation year for Cardamone and Mullis appear on the site and can be checked against public records.

The firm keeps profiles on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Its website is cokerlegal.com, which carries structured data identifying the business, its main Denton location and its social accounts.

In my opinion, the clearest signal for someone comparing family law firms in Denton, Frisco or Fort Worth is the certification concentration at the top of this roster. The firm opened in August 1998, holds three offices across Denton, Collin and Tarrant counties, and lists ten attorneys, six of them Board Certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
