Rachel is a native Texan, a mom, and a shareholder with the firm. She has been with Diggs & Sadler since she was in law school.

"I am prepared and so are you. Before a hearing, mediation, deposition, or trial, I will work with you to make sure you understand the process, the goals, and what I need from you in order to advocate for your interests.

I will know your case, I will know your concerns, and I will know your goals. I will "own" the details and facts of your case so I can apply the law to those facts to specifically tailor the advocacy of your case.

I will not promote argument for the sake of argument or to drive up costs. I will discuss with you the cost and the benefit of different courses of action. It is my goal to ensure you are in the best possible position at the end of your case and to present options that further that end goal.

I am a practical, detail-oriented, lawyer, ready to help you navigate the difficult, sometimes emotional world of litigation."

Tesha Peeples

As a compassionate advocate, Tesha prides herself in knowing the details that make the difference. She knows that achieving the best possible result in each case is dependent on thoroughly listening to the client, understanding and analyzing the client's specific facts and circumstances, and ultimately being a voice for that client. Tesha excels in telling her client's story in a compelling and persuasive manner that gets results.

Tesha often receives referrals from her past clients- a true testimony to the care Tesha provides each case, the attention given to each client's file, and the successful outcomes realized when the cases are complete.

Tesha has handled and successfully resolved cases for several notable public interest figures, professional athletes, and other prominent sports figures, maintaining the strictest confidences to keep such cases out of the public arena and media. Tesha has also successfully handled more than half a dozen grandparent conservatorship cases and is equipped to handle any family law matter presented.

Tesha Peeples began her tenure with Diggs & Sadler as a law clerk, and is now a shareholder with the firm. She has gained significant experience handling divorce, child custody, child custody modification, paternity, grandparent rights, and other family law cases, and has first-chair trial experience in family law.

Tesha's dedication to her clients and reputation led to her nomination and selection as a Rising Star in Family Law by Super Lawyers in 2018. This honor was again bestowed on Tesha in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Only 2.5% of lawyers are chosen for this honor each year, and Tesha has now been selected six years in a row.

In 2019, Tesha was also named as a Houstonia 2019 Top Lawyer. Tesha was awarded AVVO's Client's Choice award for Child Custody in 2012. 2015-2017, Tesha was selected as one of the "10 Best" Family Law Attorneys for Client Satisfaction for Texas by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys.

Tesha is a member of the Family Law Section of the State Bar of Texas, the Family Law Section of the Houston Bar Association, and the Montgomery County Bar Association. In 2018, she was appointed to serve a three-year term on the District 4 Grievance Committee of the State Bar of Texas, and is in her second year of service. Additionally, Tesha served on the State Bar of Texas Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee in 2017 and 2018, and the Association of Women Attorneys Judicial Screening Committee from 2012 to 2014.

Tesha graduated from the University of Houston Law Center, where she excelled in advocacy placing in many competitive mock trial and alternative dispute resolution competitions. Tesha was 1 of only 10 students elected to the Order of Barristers, a national honorary organization whose purpose is the encouragement of oral advocacy and brief writing skills through effective law school oral advocacy programs. Tesha also served as the Chief Articles Editor of the Journal of Consumer and Commercial Law.

Kristy Blurton

Respect for others is Kristy Blurton's touchstone in her family law practice; especially respect and understanding of her clients. Kristy recognizes how emotional divorce and custody cases can be and she navigates these sensitive family law matters with compassion as well as expertise.

Kristy's compassion and expertise in divorce and custody have been recognized by SuperLawyers. Kristy was selected as a SuperLawyers' "Rising Star" in 2019 and again in 2020. Only 2.5% of lawyers are chosen for this honor each year, and Kristy has now received this recognition two years in a row.

Kristy's approach is to understand the specific facts and complexities of each divorce or custody case and then to apply a tailor-made strategy. No family is the same; therefore, no approach to a divorce or custody case can be the same. Kristy understands the need to provide clarity and support for her clients. She offers strategies for the fight as well as solutions for settlement. She combines this approach and philosophy with passion and determination to achieve the best result for all her clients in divorce and custody matters.

Kristy focuses her practice exclusively on family law. She has a depth of experience, and not just with the run-of-the-mill. In addition to divorce and custody, Kristy has significant experience with complex property cases, including divorce cases complicated by multifaceted estate planning such as trusts and family limited partnerships, as well as divorces that require forensic accounting. Kristy is well-versed in international divorce and custody issues. She also regularly handles cases for LGBTQ+ clients and non-traditional family units.

Kristy's courtroom experience in family law is significant and diverse. She has first and second chair trial experience, including jury trial experience. She also has experience in family-law appeals. She has appeared in court in family law cases in throughout the Central Texas and Texas Gulf coast communities.

Kristy has been with the firm since 2013. Prior to working at Holmes, Diggs & Sadler, Kristy worked at the Waco's Children's Advocacy Center and Harris County's Office of the District Attorney, Child Abuse Division, where she worked closely with District Attorneys, forensic interviewers, CPS and law enforcement to address important sensitive legal issues for child victims and their families.

Kristy received her bachelor's degree from Baylor University and graduated with highest honors, Summa Cum Laude, from Thurgood Marshall School of Law. In both undergraduate and law school, she excelled in moot court and mock trial competitions. Kristy's competitive nature drove her to excellence in volleyball at a national level in high school and college.

Kristy is licensed to practice before all Texas state courts and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.

Kristy's philosophy of respect and care for people also extends to her community. She leads many of Holmes, Diggs & Sadler's community service projects including organizing shifts at the Houston Food Bank as well as the firm's work with Adopt-an-Angel. Kristy is a Co-Founder of Women of Law, a non-profit organization benefiting minority women in the legal community, and she serves on the Young Professional's Board of Covenant House Texas, an organization that supports homeless youth in Houston. Recently, she became captain of the firm's MS150 cycling team.

Kristy is the daughter of two veterans of the U.S. Army and so she spent much of her younger life traveling, which gave her a broader world-view that has enabled her to better understand and serve her international divorce clients.

Kristy lives in Round Rock, and has practiced her entire family law career in Austin, Houston, and in the central Texas counties and communities.

"I am prepared and so are you. Before a hearing, mediation, deposition, or trial, I will work with you to make sure you understand the process, the goals, and what I need from you in order to advocate for your interests.

I will know your case, I will know your concerns, and I will know your goals. I will "own" the details and facts of your case so I can apply the law to those facts to specifically tailor the advocacy of your case.

I will not promote argument for the sake of argument or to drive up costs. I will discuss with you the cost and the benefit of different courses of action. It is my goal to ensure you are in the best possible position at the end of your case and to present options that further that end goal.

I am a practical, detail-oriented, lawyer, ready to help you navigate the difficult, sometimes emotional world of litigation."

Tesha Peeples

As a compassionate advocate, Tesha prides herself in knowing the details that make the difference. She knows that achieving the best possible result in each case is dependent on thoroughly listening to the client, understanding and analyzing the client's specific facts and circumstances, and ultimately being a voice for that client. Tesha excels in telling her client's story in a compelling and persuasive manner that gets results.

Tesha often receives referrals from her past clients- a true testimony to the care Tesha provides each case, the attention given to each client's file, and the successful outcomes realized when the cases are complete.

Tesha has handled and successfully resolved cases for several notable public interest figures, professional athletes, and other prominent sports figures, maintaining the strictest confidences to keep such cases out of the public arena and media. Tesha has also successfully handled more than half a dozen grandparent conservatorship cases and is equipped to handle any family law matter presented.

Tesha Peeples began her tenure with Diggs & Sadler as a law clerk, and is now a shareholder with the firm. She has gained significant experience handling divorce, child custody, child custody modification, paternity, grandparent rights, and other family law cases, and has first-chair trial experience in family law.

Tesha's dedication to her clients and reputation led to her nomination and selection as a Rising Star in Family Law by Super Lawyers in 2018. This honor was again bestowed on Tesha in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Only 2.5% of lawyers are chosen for this honor each year, and Tesha has now been selected six years in a row.

In 2019, Tesha was also named as a Houstonia 2019 Top Lawyer. Tesha was awarded AVVO's Client's Choice award for Child Custody in 2012. 2015-2017, Tesha was selected as one of the "10 Best" Family Law Attorneys for Client Satisfaction for Texas by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys.

Tesha is a member of the Family Law Section of the State Bar of Texas, the Family Law Section of the Houston Bar Association, and the Montgomery County Bar Association. In 2018, she was appointed to serve a three-year term on the District 4 Grievance Committee of the State Bar of Texas, and is in her second year of service. Additionally, Tesha served on the State Bar of Texas Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee in 2017 and 2018, and the Association of Women Attorneys Judicial Screening Committee from 2012 to 2014.

Tesha graduated from the University of Houston Law Center, where she excelled in advocacy placing in many competitive mock trial and alternative dispute resolution competitions. Tesha was 1 of only 10 students elected to the Order of Barristers, a national honorary organization whose purpose is the encouragement of oral advocacy and brief writing skills through effective law school oral advocacy programs. Tesha also served as the Chief Articles Editor of the Journal of Consumer and Commercial Law.

Kristy Blurton

Respect for others is Kristy Blurton's touchstone in her family law practice; especially respect and understanding of her clients. Kristy recognizes how emotional divorce and custody cases can be and she navigates these sensitive family law matters with compassion as well as expertise.

Kristy's compassion and expertise in divorce and custody have been recognized by SuperLawyers. Kristy was selected as a SuperLawyers' "Rising Star" in 2019 and again in 2020. Only 2.5% of lawyers are chosen for this honor each year, and Kristy has now received this recognition two years in a row.

Kristy's approach is to understand the specific facts and complexities of each divorce or custody case and then to apply a tailor-made strategy. No family is the same; therefore, no approach to a divorce or custody case can be the same. Kristy understands the need to provide clarity and support for her clients. She offers strategies for the fight as well as solutions for settlement. She combines this approach and philosophy with passion and determination to achieve the best result for all her clients in divorce and custody matters.

Kristy focuses her practice exclusively on family law. She has a depth of experience, and not just with the run-of-the-mill. In addition to divorce and custody, Kristy has significant experience with complex property cases, including divorce cases complicated by multifaceted estate planning such as trusts and family limited partnerships, as well as divorces that require forensic accounting. Kristy is well-versed in international divorce and custody issues. She also regularly handles cases for LGBTQ+ clients and non-traditional family units.

Kristy's courtroom experience in family law is significant and diverse. She has first and second chair trial experience, including jury trial experience. She also has experience in family-law appeals. She has appeared in court in family law cases in throughout the Central Texas and Texas Gulf coast communities.

Kristy has been with the firm since 2013. Prior to working at Holmes, Diggs & Sadler, Kristy worked at the Waco's Children's Advocacy Center and Harris County's Office of the District Attorney, Child Abuse Division, where she worked closely with District Attorneys, forensic interviewers, CPS and law enforcement to address important sensitive legal issues for child victims and their families.

Kristy received her bachelor's degree from Baylor University and graduated with highest honors, Summa Cum Laude, from Thurgood Marshall School of Law. In both undergraduate and law school, she excelled in moot court and mock trial competitions. Kristy's competitive nature drove her to excellence in volleyball at a national level in high school and college.

Kristy is licensed to practice before all Texas state courts and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.

Kristy's philosophy of respect and care for people also extends to her community. She leads many of Holmes, Diggs & Sadler's community service projects including organizing shifts at the Houston Food Bank as well as the firm's work with Adopt-an-Angel. Kristy is a Co-Founder of Women of Law, a non-profit organization benefiting minority women in the legal community, and she serves on the Young Professional's Board of Covenant House Texas, an organization that supports homeless youth in Houston. Recently, she became captain of the firm's MS150 cycling team.

Kristy is the daughter of two veterans of the U.S. Army and so she spent much of her younger life traveling, which gave her a broader world-view that has enabled her to better understand and serve her international divorce clients.

Kristy lives in Round Rock, and has practiced her entire family law career in Austin, Houston, and in the central Texas counties and communities.
