We proudly serve parents, spouses, and guardians across Texas and Arkansas. Many clients come to us during uncertain and emotional times—we provide honest guidance, reliable legal options, and compassionate support from start to finish. 

Clients often have a few common questions when they reach out: 

Yes. Since he’s licensed in both states, he’s well-equipped to manage custody or divorce cases that involve parents or spouses in different states. 

Not always. While some cases require litigation, many can be resolved through mediation, which is often faster and less emotionally draining. We’ll help you choose the best route for your situation.

Legal custody involves decision-making authority, while physical custody determines where the child lives. We take the time to explain both and help you fight for a fair outcome.  

Every case is different, but we make it a priority to keep you informed, prepared, and supported every step of the way.
