Ike Vanden Eykel, among the nation's most respected family lawyers, is the 101st President of the Dallas Bar Association. But he still delivers high quality family law services during 2010 as he has for the past three decades.

He has been selected one of the Top 10 Divorce Lawyers in America and has been described as the "reigning king" of Texas divorce and the "divorce law jedi" by The Dallas Morning News.

As Managing Partner of Koons, Fuller, Vanden Eykel & Robertson, P.C., he has grown the firm into the Southwest’s largest that handles exclusively family law cases, with offices in four North Texas locations.

For three years, Mr. Vanden Eykel was featured in Texas Monthly magazine among the Top 100 Attorneys in Texas. He is consistently selected a Texas Super Lawyer by Law and Politics magazine and one of the Best Lawyers in Dallas by D Magazine. This year, he was featured in the publication, Texas' Best Lawyers.

Mr. Vanden Eykel is often a commentator on local television and radio. Recently, he discussed Divorce and the Economy nationally on the Fox Business Network (click to watch the video) and on Good Day Dallas, the most-watched morning show in Dallas-Fort Worth (click here for the video).

He came to prominence during the 1980s as a champion of fathers’ rights. But in 2003, Vogue magazine named him one of the Top Lawyers for Women in Texas.

After he represented a Park Cities housewife, Mr. Vanden Eykel was depicted in the book, My Husband Is Trying to Kill Me, and a television movie, Dead Before Dawn.

He wrote the book on Texas family law, Successful Lone Star Divorce, and co-authored the Texas Family Law Practice Guide and a new book written with fellow Koons Fuller attorney Rick Robertson, Protecting Your Assets From A Texas Divorce.

He and attorney Sharla Fuller have collaborated on another book, Lone Star Divorce: The NEW Edition, which is on bookstore shelves now. He is co-author of a new edition of the assets book with partners Heather King, Charla Conner and Robertson.

Born March 25, 1949 in Slayton, Minnesota, he graduated from Drake University (B.S., 1971) and Baylor University School of Law (J.D., 1973).

Mr. Vanden Eykel is a member of the Texas Academy of Family Law Specialists, a Fellow in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and a Diplomate in the American College of Family Trial Lawyers.
