Attorney Information
Overview
Helping Families Move Forward with Less Conflict and More Control
I believe divorce does not have to be a fight or a war. My goal is for clients to walk away from the process having had a far better experience than they anticipated—one that minimizes conflict, reduces trauma, and allows families to move forward with confidence and clarity.
With more than 21 years of legal experience and over 19 years devoted exclusively to family law, I provide clients with a thoughtful alternative to the traditional, adversarial divorce process. My practice emphasizes settlement and collaboration whenever possible, guided by compassion, efficiency, and respect for the entire family. I am mindful that divorce is not just a legal matter, but a significant life transition, and I work intentionally to help clients create a stable foundation for the next chapter of their lives.
I represent individuals and families from a wide range of backgrounds, including professionals, parents, business owners, and retirees, who want to resolve family law matters efficiently and thoughtfully. Many of my clients seek a process that preserves relationships, limits financial and emotional costs, and avoids unnecessary court involvement. For those who are able to use it, I strongly support the collaborative family law process because it allows clients to maintain control over outcomes, address complex financial issues with transparency, and create parenting solutions tailored to their family’s needs.
Here’s how I help clients move forward:
- Ease the divorce process by meeting clients where they are. I listen carefully to clients’ goals, values, and concerns, provide steady guidance, and remain responsive and accessible throughout the process.
- Focus early on settlement and resolution. From the outset of a case, I work to identify opportunities for efficient resolution and avoid unnecessary conflict or delay.
- Help clients make informed decisions. I explain options clearly, explore possible outcomes, and ensure clients understand both the legal and practical implications of their choices.
- Incorporate a whole-person approach. As both a family law attorney and a certified life coach, I support clients not only legally, but also as they navigate the emotional challenges of divorce and plan for life after it.
- Minimize cost while maximizing value. I strive to effectively manage the cost of attorney fees and work intentionally to control costs, keeping clients informed and involved throughout the process.
- Maintain a respectful, constructive tone—even in difficult cases. While my practice emphasizes cooperation and settlement, my litigation experience allows me to guide clients effectively if more formal legal intervention becomes necessary.
Professional Credentials
Jill Lowe is a highly experienced family law attorney licensed to practice in Texas and Florida. She has handled a wide range of family law matters, including high-net-worth divorces and complex custody disputes, and brings a thoughtful, settlement-oriented perspective to every case.
Jill has more than a decade of experience representing clients in the Collaborative Divorce process and is a past Chair of the State Bar of Texas Collaborative Law Section. Her leadership in collaborative law reflects a deep commitment to helping families resolve disputes outside of the courtroom with dignity, transparency, and respect.
She was Board Certified in family law in Florida for five years, a distinction that represents the highest level of professional excellence in the field. Jill’s background also includes litigation experience, which provides a strong foundation for advising clients and achieving effective, durable outcomes when cases cannot be resolved collaboratively.
In addition to her legal credentials, Jill is a certified life coach and incorporates those skills into her family law practice. She chose family law because of the opportunity to have a meaningful, positive impact on people during a time of significant life transition. Her approach is compassionate, client-centered, and focused on helping clients move forward with confidence and stability.
Interests
When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling. I value mentoring and supporting the younger generation and regularly participate in Bible study at my church. I also volunteer with local nonprofit organizations, particularly those that support individuals experiencing homelessness.
As a breast cancer survivor, I am especially drawn to opportunities to connect with and encourage others during their cancer journeys.
