The COMPLETE FAMILY LAW OFFICE |
|
As a team, we actively
define and strategically pursue the best possible outcome for you and your
family. |
| |
|
The primary emphasis of my practice as an attorney is family
law in Tarrant County, Texas. That encompasses divorce, support, prenuptials,
adoptions and basic wills and probate.

|
I handle legal representation differently than many family
law attorneys. This is accomplished by a systemized approach to your particular
situation that we, (you and I), solve together. From a personality standpoint, I
lean toward directness because that is what I like from professionals that I
hire. I don't tell you what I think you want to hear. I tell you how
things are likely to be based on 25 years of doing it. More below under
strategic plan. . . |

Family Law, whether involving divorce or not deals with sensitive issues that can
have life-long emotional and financial effects for you and your children. It is a specialized area of law,
requiring specific training in negotiation and litigation, taxation,
property and business issues, as well as a knowledge of changing rules and
procedures. |
| |
|
|
My practice is exclusively Family Law with an emphasis on
divorce. My office is centrally located in the mid-cities of
Tarrant County, Texas. My staff, Brandon Turnage, and Tamra
Siebenthall offer a deep understanding of the legal and human issues involved in
family Law. |

| Strategic Plan |
| |
|
-
Investigation of your Goals. We will consider your
short term as well as long term goals as they relate to your financial security,
health, identity, as well as co-parenting and your children's wellbeing, if
applicable.
-
Review of Process choices Family law disputes can be
tackled in a number of ways, from the sword to the dove to use a simple
metaphor. We will review and understand the meaning of choosing
uncontested, mediation, collaborative law or litigation as a problem solving
model and what input you have and don't have regarding this important choice.
-
Review of Tools I will inform you of: a) the law as it
is written as well as how it is actually applied in real life; b) the
availability of allied professionals as experts outside the legal field who can
assist in smoothing the way to a satisfactory resolution; c) the need to always
keep your eye on the goal line. (see #1)
-
Information Gathering We will get the information that
we need for you to make decisions that you are confidant of.
-
Creative Problem Solving There is more than one way to
skin a cat.
-
Constant Evaluation We will constantly evaluate
how your decisions impact the goals that you chose. If needed, the goals
will be revised. (see #1)
-
Negotiate to a solution or present your case to the Judge
and is warranted.
