Dallas divorce attorney Michelle May O’Neil has a unique perspective
because she practices both litigation and appeals in the Texas family
law area. This helps her see a case not only as an advocate for the client’s
position to either a judge or jury, which most family law attorney share,
but also from the lens of the appellate court who might review the case
after it is over. She is in a position to “dot the i’s and
cross the t’s” by knowing how the case will be analyzed when
it is over. Appellate courts look at whether error was properly preserved
and whether the errors made, if any, rise to the level of actually being
harmfully reversible.
