Dunnam & Dunnam

Dunnam & Dunnam stands as one of Central Texas's most distinguished law firms, with a remarkable history spanning nearly a century of dedicated legal service. Founded in 1925 and continuously serving Waco and the surrounding region, the firm represents an exceptional combination of historical longevity, institutional expertise, and recognized excellence in family law practice. The firm has earned a reputation as one of Waco's premier family law resources, trusted by generations of Central Texas families.

The firm's 98-year history speaks volumes. In an era when many law firms have come and gone, Dunnam & Dunnam has remained a constant presence, continuously serving clients with integrity, skill, and dedication. This longevity reflects both the firm's reputation and its commitment to client service over nearly a century.

What makes Dunnam & Dunnam truly exceptional is its concentration of board-certified family law expertise. The firm boasts three board-certified family law specialists: Jim Dunnam, Merrilee Harmon, and James R. 'Bob' Angel. This is a rare distinction—many law firms have no board-certified family law attorneys, while Dunnam & Dunnam has three. Board certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization is held by fewer than 1% of Texas attorneys, making the firm's concentration of board-certified specialists truly remarkable.

Jim Dunnam holds the rare distinction of board certification in two practice areas: Civil Trial Law and Family Law. This dual certification reflects exceptional expertise spanning trial practice and family law, allowing him to bring comprehensive understanding of both litigation and family law matters to cases.

Merrilee Harmon has been board certified in Family Law since 1985—a remarkable 38-year tenure as a board-certified specialist. This extended period of board certification reflects consistent excellence, continuous professional development, and unwavering commitment to family law practice.

James R. 'Bob' Angel has been board certified in Family Law since 2002, reflecting over 20 years of board-certified practice. Bob's long tenure as a board-certified specialist demonstrates his sustained excellence and commitment to the field.

The firm has earned consistent recognition from the local community. Wacoan Magazine voters have routinely voted Dunnam & Dunnam as Waco's Best Law Firm and its family lawyers as among Waco's best family attorneys. This local recognition reflects community trust and peer respect that few firms achieve.

Dunnam & Dunnam specializes in family law matters across the full spectrum of divorce and related issues. The firm handles divorce, from routine uncontested cases to complex contested divorces requiring strategic litigation. The firm assists families with child custody arrangements, child support determinations, spousal support negotiations, and property division. The firm's experience spans routine matters to high-complexity cases involving substantial assets, business interests, and highly contested custody disputes.

The firm's approach emphasizes understanding each family's unique circumstances and developing representation strategies tailored to specific goals and concerns. Rather than applying generic approaches, the firm's attorneys work closely with clients to understand their priorities and develop strategies that serve those priorities.
