Areas of Practice and Professional Representation
Criminal Law
If you are under investigation or have been accused of a crime, talk to no one. You cannot litigate your case with the arresting officer. Once he has made the decision to arrest you, the arrest will happen. The only words that should be spoken are “I want my lawyer.”
Cases Examples:
- Traffic Tickets
- Prostitution
- Marijuana Possession
- Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)
- Theft
- Sexual Assault
- Indecent Exposure
Family Law
Marriage is not always a bed of roses and unfortunately the best option for many unhappy couples is to dissolve the marriage and go their separate ways. Texas, however, does not recognize legal separation. In Texas, once two people are married, either by formal ceremony or by common law, they must have the marriage dissolved by a judicial Divorce proceeding.
Cases Examples:
- Divorce
- Child Support
- Child Custody
- Mediation Services
Estate Planning
A competent attorney is essential in helping you to protect your estate, and to see that it passes to those whom you wish to have it. An attorney can also guide you as to which of your assets must pass through probate and which assets are non-probate assets. This is important because non-probate assets pass immediately to a beneficiary upon a decedent’s passing, avoiding court delays and probate expenses.
Cases Examples:
- Wills
- Trusts
