Why Choose Varghese Summersett PLLC?

Varghese Summersett is one of the most sophisticated multi-practice firms in North Texas. The firm operates three deep benches — criminal defense, family law, and personal injury — under one roof, which is rare. That structure pays off when life gets complicated: a divorce involving criminal allegations, a personal injury case alongside a custody dispute, a DWI alongside a workplace investigation. Founder Benson Varghese has a national-class trial record (100+ jury trials). Best Lawyers in America 2026 recognized the firm across multiple practice areas. Best fit if you need a high-credibility trial firm — and especially if your situation crosses practice areas.

What Clients Say

Client
Lauren M.
High-Asset Divorce · Park Cities
★★★★★
Divorce involving a family business and trust accounts. Anna Summersett walked us through forensic accounting, valued the business properly, and got a settlement that protected the kids' future. Worth every dollar.
Client
James K.
Federal Criminal Charge · NDTX
★★★★★
Federal indictment for wire fraud. Benson built a real defense — exhibits, witnesses, the works. Settled for a non-custodial sentence well below guidelines. He treated the case like it could go to trial, which is why it didn't have to.
Client
Sandra G.
Custody Modification · Frisco
★★★★★
Ex-husband moved out of state and tried to modify custody. The firm fought it and we kept the original schedule with my daughter. They knew the judge, knew the playbook, and we won.

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

Is Texas a community-property state for divorce?
Yes. Texas is one of nine community-property states, meaning property acquired during the marriage is generally owned equally. However, courts have discretion to divide assets in a 'just and right' manner, taking into account fault in the breakup, earning capacity, and the children's needs. Anna Summersett is Board Certified in Family Law and handles complex high-asset divisions.
Does the firm handle federal criminal cases?
Yes. Benson Varghese has tried federal cases in the Northern District of Texas. Federal criminal defense — wire fraud, drug trafficking, healthcare fraud — is a distinct practice from state-court defense, and the firm has dedicated federal trial counsel.
How does the firm structure family-law fees?
Family-law engagements are hourly (typically $300–$550) with an upfront retainer. The retainer is held in trust and drawn against as work is performed. Cost estimates are provided after the initial consultation based on the issues in dispute.
What if my situation crosses practice areas?
This is one of the firm's strengths. A divorce with a domestic-violence allegation, a personal-injury case alongside a custody dispute, or a DWI affecting professional licensing all benefit from a firm that can coordinate across practice areas internally rather than referring out. The firm is structured for this.
Where is the Dallas office located?
2100 Ross Avenue, Suite 950, Dallas, TX 75201 — in the heart of downtown Dallas. The firm also has offices in Fort Worth, Southlake, and Houston for clients across DFW and Texas.
