Areas of Practice
Divorce & Child Custody
Experiencing a divorce or custody battle can be one of the most stressful times in a person’s life but you do not have to face this battle alone. Our team provides compassionate and competent guidance as we work to resolve the case in your best interests. I am a skilled mediator but am also prepared to advocate for your interests in court without reservation.
Modifications
When life changes, your court orders may need to change too. We assist clients in modifying custody, visitation and support orders to reflect new circumstances such as relocation, job changes or children’s evolving needs. Our goal is to help you achieve fair, workable solutions without unnecessary conflict or delay.
Adoption
Welcoming a child into your family is one of life’s greatest joys and we would be delighted to help guide you through every step of the Texas adoption process. Our goal is to make the legal side as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Military families face unique challenges when it comes to divorce, custody and support. We understand the complexities of deployment schedules, military pensions, and interstate jurisdiction, and we help service members and their families navigate these issues with clarify and respect. Whether you’re active duty, reserve, or a veteran, we are committed to protecting your rights and helping your family find stability through every stage of military life.
Military Family Law
We understand the challenges first responders face— long hours, unpredictable schedules and the emotional demands of the job. Our firm provides compassionate, informed representation for police officers, firefighters, EMTs and their families in all family law matters. We work around your schedule, respect your privacy and fight for solutions that protect your time with your children and your peace of mind.
Law Enforcement & First Responder Family Law
When a court order isn’t being followed, we act quickly to protect your rights and restore stability. Whether it is denied visitation, unfulfilled property division, or unpaid child support, we pursue enforcement with precision and expediency. Our goal is to achieve compliance and accountability.
Enforcements
A strong marriage deserves a strong foundation. We help couples create fair, transparent agreements that clarify financial expectations and protect both partners. Our approach is thoughtful and practical— focused on reducing future conflict and giving you confidence in your partnership.
Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
Children’s Rights/School and Child Advocacy
Every child deserves to feel safe, supported and respected at school. We help families navigate issues involving bullying, school discipline and children’s rights and will work directly with schools and districts to ensure accountability when they fail to protect students. We also assist parents in understanding and advocating for their child’s educational rights under IEP and 504 plans, helping ensure each child receives the accommodations they deserve. Whether your child has been bullied, unfairly disciplined or needs an advocate in the education system, we are here to stand up for their rights and well-being.
In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.”
