John Polk is a family law mediator and parenting facilitator at Polk Law Office in Dallas, with over 25 years of experience in Dallas family law and mediation. He helps divorcing and co-parenting litigants in Dallas–Fort Worth reach final, enforceable agreements, in person or over Zoom.

John Polk is an attorney, mediator and parenting facilitator at Polk Law Office on Turtle Creek Boulevard in Dallas. He has practiced Dallas family law for more than 25 years and has the same depth of experience in mediation. His work centers on divorce and child custody cases where the parties and their lawyers need a settlement rather than a trial.

As a mediator, John sits between the parties and their counsel and works toward a final, enforceable agreement. Sessions are held in person or via Zoom. He describes mediation as quicker, more private and less costly than litigation, and he takes on the high-conflict cases that other approaches have failed to resolve.

As a parenting facilitator and coordinator, John works with parents after orders are in place, helping them carry out custody arrangements and resolve disputes before they turn into new litigation. He is a father of two and has appeared as a divorce commentator on NBC5 and WFAA. Lawyers in family and civil cases can refer clients directly.

Over the last ten years of emotional pain and crippling depression from having to fight for even FAIRNESS, John Polk not only helped me win a life that's best for my daughter, but he became a friend and trusted advisor. He truly cares about justice and I would not trust my children's future to anyone else. Without him I would still be getting overlooked by the Courts, the OAG, and would still be under the Mom's thumb because - it's TEXAS. Mr. Polk fought for my rights and have seen him fight for countless others. Thanks, John Polk. We need more Family Lawyers like you, sir.
