Divorce & Custody LawyerS Serving Rockwall & Allen, Texas

When your family, your kids, or your future is on the line, you need someone who’s lived it.

WHO WE HELP

We work with people facing the hardest moments a family can go through—a divorce, a custody fight, or a sudden change that means going back to court.

It’s a lot to handle, especially if the other side already has a lawyer and you’re not even sure what your rights are. You shouldn’t have to navigate it alone, and you don’t have to.

Your finances, your children, your reputation, a family case puts all of it on the table.

The right attorney protects it.

MEET David Eaker

After his undergraduate studies in Economics and Political Science at Vanderbilt University, David Eaker earned his law degree at SMU School of Law and has remained in North Texas ever since. He opened his Rockwall office in 1999, where he has practiced family law for over 27 years. After going through his own divorce, David raised his two sons in Heath before remarrying — giving him a personal understanding of what’s at stake for the families he represents. While his sons were growing up, David was a long-time Boy Scout leader and a volunteer with local youth sports teams and schools. When his sons reached high school age, the family moved to Collin County — first Plano, then Allen — where David later opened a second office to continue serving Collin County families. David is also frequently appointed by local judges and chosen by fellow attorneys to serve as a mediator for family law disputes across North Texas, bringing that experience to help others resolve their lawsuits.

Amanda G., April 2026

David Eaker is a highly respected and experienced attorney with a significant amount of knowledge in both Dallas and Rockwall counties. This has made a huge difference in my case.

J. Smith, February 2026

David has a remarkable ability to truly listen and then break everything down in a way that makes sense. He walked me through each step of the process with patience and clarity … Throughout my case, I consistently felt like we were one step ahead.

Steven K., April 2026

A very knowledgeable and straight forward family attorney … He seamlessly led me through a custody and child support order earlier in life, and 12 years later, took his time to thoroughly explain the legal process at the end of the order. I view him as a trusted advisor.
