In many instances, court orders can be appealed to higher courts, or a new lawsuit can be filed to modify the order at a later date. An example we often see is divorce orders being modified at a later date when a substantial change in circumstances has occurred, making such modification necessary. The options available to you will depend heavily upon the type of case you have and the unique circumstances of your situation.

Even if your divorce is uncontested, working with Texas attorneys can still prove advantageous. That's because there are certain requirements that every divorce must meet. If a judge doesn't like the child support, alimony, or division of property agreement you've reached with your ex amicably, the court could reject the agreement. This could put you right back at the start. Let an experienced family law attorney review your case and ensure everything is ready to go.

No one in the Lone Star State can claim to be the best lawyer in Texas. The simple fact is that all law firms have different strengths. For instance, you wouldn't want to take your divorce case to an attorney who only handles real estate. Similarly, a divorce attorney who does not deal with issues involving domestic violence would not be appropriate in all situations. However, this is precisely why we have legal professionals with broad backgrounds — so we can offer dedicated service to more of our fellow Texans.

If you have a case outside of our local area, it could create jurisdictional issues. However, this will not always be the case. For instance, a Texas personal injury case can often be heard in various jurisdictions — based on the underlying circumstances of the situation.

Bankruptcy is the right decision for many. However, it's important to remember that it's also a drastic measure. In many instances, there are alternatives to bankruptcy that could help you get debt under control without hurting your credit for years to come. Everyone's situation is different, so it's important for you to speak with a Texas lawyer to understand your options and potential alternatives. Schedule your confidential consultation with us today, and we'll help you figure out the best way forward.

A lot goes into estate planning — from tax planning to elder law. However, the most common questions our Texas lawyers still get from prospective clients always involve probate. While having a will is important, it does not bypass probate. However, there are certain strategies (e.g., trust creation, beneficiary designation) that can accomplish this task. Let our Texas probate lawyers assist.

At a very basic level, everyone should have a will. However, everyone's situation is unique in some way. A valid will could be all that you need — but others may benefit from trusts, conservatorship, living wills, powers of attorney, and other critical estate planning documents. Our experienced estate planning lawyers will review your situation and help you create a plan that meets your needs.
