Parents can fail to remember the best interests of their kids when they are punishing each other. Our law firm is determined that children will not be collateral damage in a divorce.
Adapting to Life's Changes. When circumstances significantly change, you need a lawyer who can explain to the court why your divorce-related orders should be modified.

Our firm is headed by C. "Luke" Gunnstaks, a Dallas area lawyer in practice since 1991. Before that, he was in a popular Texas show band, but decided to become a lawyer after a custody battle revealed how hard it is to find an attorney who will properly advocate for clients and their children. The attorneys at Gunnstaks Law Office have built strong reputations as experienced, knowledgeable and effective family law attorneys.

At Gunnstaks Law Office, in Plano, Texas, we often take family law cases that other attorneys won't. Our lawyers aren't afraid of a fight. We do everything in our power to resolve family disputes as quickly and effectively as possible while protecting our clients and their children. Dallas divorce lawyer C. "Luke" Gunnstaks vigilantly guards the interests and rights of his clients.
Divorce can be emotionally draining for most families, and it can be particularly challenging for high net-worth spouses who are able to afford every weapon to wage legal battles against each other. An experienced family law attorney is needed to ensure that the divorce decree reflects a fair and just division of all marital assets and community property.
When a divorce is particularly contentious, spouses sometimes try to hide assets from each other. If these attempts are successful, it makes it virtually impossible to come up with a fair property settlement agreement. At Gunnstaks Law Office, we have represented many clients who have suspected that their spouse was hiding assets.

I have been meaning to write this review for a little while now. Luke Gunnstaks is an AMAZING attorney. He is very knowledgeable. He took my complex case and turned it into what looked like “nothing” to resolve. Not only is he great, but his staff is VERY helpful and friendly! I am very blessed that I had Luke Gunnstaks on my side. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I REGRET hiring C Luke Gunnstaks and Gunnstaks Law Firm. I have in writing from Gunnstaks, that I "would receive all of my money in the IOLTA account." When I began realize in August 2017 (after the court hearing the end of July and only a few days after the second mediation) what had happened in my case and began asking for Gunnstaks to be accountable for his actions and also his invoicing and statements, Gunnstaks began saying I was delusional and needed psychiatric medical care. He withheld $25,054.75 from my IOLTA account for the months of Aug. 2017 to the final decree date of 12/04/17 which

I have dealt with attorney's in a 28 year law enforcement career, and Mr. Gunnstaks is one of the best that I had ever seen. He is thorough, persistent, and will fight hard for his client. I also give two thumbs up for his paralegal's and secretaries. I have made several recommendations to my friends and family to use his services.

I have to disagree with Heart of Gold. This attorney (Gunnstaks) misrepresented my case in so many ways, too many to list. He came to the first mediation with nothing prepared, did not list important witnesses, told me one thing and did another, said he was out of his office extended days and said he would not answer my correspondence until he returned, when indeed, he was not out of his office but two days, not over 7-10 days as his office stated. First mediation, he picked up his cell phone and began searching on Google for back up to my case after telling me the night before, that he had

He has a heart of gold! If you need someone who is highly effective in high conflict divorce or a child custody case, he is the man to hire. He gets the job done! He works hard, knows his stuff, and is highly effective in in the courtroom. I have had several attorneys in a high conflict child custody case for 12 years. It is finally done, due to Luke's concern and brilliance! And he cares about you and your children.

Carl Gunnstaks (aka C. Luke Gunnstaks) was hired as my divorce attorney in August, 2016.
My name was misspelled 3 different ways on a Limited Power of Attorney, part of which, Gunnstaks filled out. The date was listed incorrectly and was changed. I was not asked to initial said change. My Driver's License was not requested to prove my identity. Gunnstaks did not list my name correctly on his Contract for Hire.
Opposing counsel wanted his client's name changed on the divorce decree. Gunnstaks made this change to my Divorce Decree without my knowledge, consent or approval and forwarded said changes
