Allen Griffin moved to the Dallas area when he was twelve years old, but his Texas roots go back six generations. With over thirty years of experience as a lawyer, there is not much that Allen Griffin has not seen in the family law arena. Having personally experienced a divorce himself, Allen knows the financial and emotional toll that the breakup of a marriage can take on an individual. With this background, Allen approaches each client’s case pragmatically and with empathy to successfully navigate his clients through one of the most difficult times in that person’s life. While Allen works hard to settle a case when it is possible, he has the skill set and acumen that make him a formidable opponent in the courtroom. Mr. Griffin is a graduate of Baylor University and Baylor Law School, and he is obsessed with Baylor sports. In his free time, Allen enjoys spending time with his wife and golden retriever, three grown children and two adorable towheaded grandchildren.

My name is Danielle Cortez-Harper, I was born in Dallas, Texas and I grew up in Rowlett, Texas. Growing up I played a multitude of sports including soccer, softball, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, cheer, tap, ballet and jazz. I graduated from Garland High School in 1993 and received an academic scholarship to The University of Texas at Austin. While at UT, I was a member of Mu Epsilon Theta sorority, Hispanic Business Students Associated, and played intramural soccer. I graduated with a Bachelor of Business Degree in Finance in 1997. I then attended the Dedmon School of Law at Southern Methodist University (SMU) and graduated in 2000. I got married to my husband the same year. We have been married for going on 24 years. We have two sons, ages 21 and 15. I have enjoyed watching my kids participate in all of their extracurricular activities such as football, baseball and basketball. We have two cats and a dog. I enjoy reading in my spare time and traveling. I have been licensed to practice law in the State of Texas for 23 years. When first graduating from law school, I wasn’t sure what type of law I wanted to pursue. I was lucky enough to get my first job with a solo practitioner named David Lopez. I gained valuable experience in the field of family law while working with him. He eventually became a Dallas County Family District Court Judge and continued to be a mentor. I enjoy working in the Family Law community. I have met so many amazing attorneys and colleagues throughout the years. I love engaging with my clients and helping people find reasonable solutions to their legal matter, no matter how big or small.
