About Taylor Toombs Imel

Taylor was selected to the Top 50 Women Lawyers in Texas by Super Lawyers in 2022, as a Texas Rising Star for the past five years, and a Rising Star Top 100 Lawyer and Top 50 Up-and-Coming Women Lawyers in 2021. She was also named among a “Women to Watch” in the Women Who Mean Business by the Houston Business Journal in 2021.

Her expertise includes premarital and post-marital agreements, as well as complex property division, highly contentious custody cases, and appeals. A unique part of Taylor’s practice involves drafting divorce provisions in shareholder and other operating agreements to safeguard business owners, their partners, and investors from the potential instability that often arises during a divorce.

Further, as an adult-child of divorce, Taylor uniquely understands that divorce constitutes a traumatic event for most individuals and families and that the collateral damage that can result from the same must not be ignored when representing her clients.

Taylor, along with her team at Toombs Imel & Associates, is committed to providing her clients with dedicated, zealous, and results-oriented representation before, during, and after litigation.

Passionate about giving back. Taylor directly supports Houston’s Small Steps Nurturing Center, which provides an exemplary early childhood program to assist economically at-risk children and their families.

Taylor is board certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML). She received her JD from Southern Methodist University in 2010 and was a dean’s scholarship recipient. A natural competitor (both in and out of the courtroom), Taylor attended Wake Forest University on a full athletic scholarship for women’s soccer. Taylor is also a member of the HBA Gender Fairness Committee and a member of the Greater Houston Women’s Chamber of Commerce 40 Under 40 Advisory Board.

I feel certain that my divorce and child custody case was handled by the best Houston family law and divorce attorney -- Taylor Toombs Imel. She was communicative and compassionate from the start. Her professionalism never waivered. She billed fairly and landed me with the results I hoped for but thought might be a pipedream. I highly, highly recommend Taylor for child custody, divorce, and other related family law matters.

Taylor Imel’s professionalism, family law expertise, and sensitive/ timely responsiveness are the invaluable competencies and qualities that we appreciated most as we worked closely for almost a year with Taylor and her supporting team at KoonsFuller. She and her team expertly guided us through a challenging and highly emotional family custody issue. We have come to place our trust in her experience and judgement. James and Diane Maher

Taylor was and continues to be my lawyer since my divorce in 2016 and now a modification for possession. Besides the obvious high praise which normally accompanies a professional of her caliber, she is one of the most compassionate and understanding people I have had the pleasure of working with. A divorce is painful and when it includes children the stress is even greater. With this said, too often times the legal profession becomes very impersonal and rigid when dealing with these matters, but

I was involved in a very contentious divorce. Approximately one year into the divorce process I switched attorneys to Ms. Imel who represented me thereafter. I found her extremely skillful and competent. I am very satisfied with the outcome of divorce and highly recommend Ms. Imel. EB

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
