Services
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy provides immediate debt relief by liquidating non-exempt assets to pay creditors. Most unsecured debts receive discharge within four months. Our attorneys help clients determine eligibility and protect exempt property through strategic exemptions.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 creates structured repayment plans for debtors with regular income. This option stops foreclosure and allows debt repayment over 3-5 years while keeping valuable assets. Our team negotiates favorable payment terms with creditors.
Child Custody
We help establish custody arrangements that serve children's best interests. Our services include creating visitation schedules, modifying existing orders, and representing clients in contested custody hearings for both mothers and fathers.
Debt Counseling
Our debt counseling services evaluate clients' financial situations to determine the best path forward. We provide personalized strategies for debt management, negotiation with creditors, and exploring bankruptcy alternatives when appropriate.
Adoption
We guide families through all adoption types including stepparent, relative, and private adoptions. Our services cover legal documentation, home study preparation, and court representation to ensure smooth transitions for new family members.

How does child custody work in Texas?
Texas courts prioritize children's best interests. We help establish joint custody arrangements or sole custody based on each family's unique circumstances.
Can bankruptcy stop foreclosure?
Yes, filing bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay that immediately halts foreclosure proceedings and provides time to develop a repayment strategy.

Clients need recent tax returns, pay stubs, debt statements, and asset documentation. Our team guides you through the complete preparation process.
How long does bankruptcy stay on credit reports?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains for 10 years while Chapter 13 stays for 7 years. We provide credit rebuilding guidance post-discharge.
Do I need a lawyer for family court?
