Dallas Divorce Attorney Misty Cole is a seasoned family law attorney with over 27 years of litigation experience across civil rights, discrimination, construction, product liability, and premises liability. Beginning her legal career representing individuals, small businesses, and Fortune 500 companies, Misty transitioned to family law in 2009 to apply her broad skill set in service of families facing divorce. As a calm presence amid the emotional turbulence of family separation, Misty helps clients find hope and clarity in difficult times.
Her litigation background gives her an edge in the courtroom, but Misty’s approach is centered on minimizing conflict, reducing emotional strain, and crafting amicable resolutions that support long-term family harmony. Trained in Collaborative Divorce, her commitment to creative and compassionate advocacy makes her a perfect fit at Hargrave Family Law, a firm that shares her values and vision.
Misty’s legal journey is supported by academic excellence, having graduated with honors from The University of Tulsa College of Law. She is licensed to practice in Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado, as well as several federal courts in those states. Her clients benefit from both her expansive legal expertise and her deeply empathetic, solutions-driven philosophy.
A proud Oklahoma native, Misty Cole now calls North Texas home. She is a dedicated mother of three daughters, active volunteer, and passionate supporter of Lovejoy High School’s sports programs. Whether cheering from the sidelines or advocating in court, Misty brings integrity, compassion, and commitment to every endeavor.
“It is important for every person to have an advocate who, while empathetic, is honest and straightforward. I believe that as an advocate for my client, it is my responsibility to find solutions to meet my client’s legal as well as personal goals.”
