About our Firm

Our attorneys practice primarily Family or Matrimonial Law, such as divorce, property division, child custody, visitation, termination of parental rights, adoption, international child support and custody, international child abduction or Hague Convention cases. We are referral attorneys for the Lambda Legal Defense Fund, handling same sex partnership dissolutions and estate planning matters. The Animal Legal Defense Fund also refers animal law cases to us. Our attorneys also handle elder law and disability law matters, such as Special Needs Trust, Miller-type trusts, and general estate planning documents.

Whether you need a divorce lawyer, a child custody lawyer, a child support lawyer, or a lawyer who handles international family law issues, we encourage you to call us. Our attorneys include a former Assistant Attorney General for the State of Texas who handled over 1500 child support cases, including enforcement of international child support. The Courts also appoint our attorneys as Guardians Ad Litem, Amicus Attorneys, and/or Attorneys Ad Litem.

We have clients calling from all over the world, from countries such as Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, The Philippines, Denmark, France, Germany, Romania, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Iraq, Greece, India, Afghanistan, United Kingdom, Monaco, and the Channel Islands. A number of our clients are military service men and women. The U.S. State Department refers foreign dignitaries to our firm to discuss Hague Convention or international child abduction cases.

We have offices in Dallas, Denton and The Colony and plan on expanding our office to other states. In addition to practicing in Dallas and Denton counties, we also practice in Collin, Tarrant, Rockwall, Ellis, and Johnson Counties. We have cases as far south as Beaumont, as far east as Arp, and as far west as El Paso.

The mission of our firm is to provide our clients with highest quality legal services. Our mandate is to serve each client with personalized and individualized attention and adhere to strict ethical standards as promulgated by the State Bar of Texas. We do not compromise our firm's integrity or our client's integrity in the legal process.

Because the majority of our cases have complex issues, and many require extensive litigation, the length of our cases range anywhere from 3 months to 4 years, depending upon complexity. Our attorneys tend to build close working relationships with our clients, and many of our clients return to us for other legal issues.

We do not take every case that comes in our door. We interview prospective clients and we encourage them to interview us. For our complex litigation cases, we work as a team, with attorneys and legal assistants available to answer our clients' questions and provide immediate response to their legal emergencies.

We offer a free 30 minute consultation to help us assess your legal needs, to help you interview us, and for us to determine if there is a good fit to establish an attorney-client relationship. Because attorneys are expensive and the cost of litigation is high, our attorneys are straight-forward and to the point with their clients. We will give you the best and worse case scenarios and provide you with cost estimates. Because we stress a strong working relationship with our clients, rest assured that when we provide you with our legal expertise, you have peace of mind knowing that your concerns are heard, your legal rights are protected, and you are provided with strong and zealous advocacy, appropriate legal and ethical counseling, and have a team of legal advisors behind you.
