I have been practicing family law, employment law, criminal law, personal injury, wrongful death, and general litigation in the Houston, Texas area and surrounding counties for over 20 years.  Please feel free to visit my website.

I have been practicing family and estate law since 1998 and I am well-versed in the nuances of these areas as well as the courts in Harris and surrounding counties, including but not limited to Fort Bend, Galveston, Brazoria, Montgomery, Liberty, Chambers and Waller. I also practice in outlying counties, like Travis and Hayes County.. I believe in consistent communication with clients to ensure that their expectations and needs are being met 100% of the time, including crafting a detailed strategy for each case and following it diligently until it is resolved.

I have been practicing bankruptcy for the majority of my legal career.  In 2016, I co-founded Gordon Lusky, LLP in Houston, Texas.  Throughout my practice, I have represented both debtors and creditors.  However, I primarily represent debtors and take satisfaction making a difference in my client's lives by relieving the stress related to their debt issues.. I am not a mass filer of bankruptcy cases.  I recognize the value of providing individual attention to each client and the specificities of their case.  By taking a limited number of cases, I am able to give each client the time and attention they deserve.  All of my clients deal directly with me, as opposed to paralegals or other staff.. If you have any questions regarding your situation and whether I can help, give me a call.  My initial consultations are free and there is no obligation to move forward.

I have been practice law for over 35 years.  For 30 of those years I have been practicing exclusively Bankruptcy Law.  I am Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in both Consumer and Business Bankruptcy Law.. Personally I have been married to my wife Kathy for over 30 years.  I have two sons.  Mike, who works with me as a debt relief lawyer and my other son Ryan who works for the Department of Justice.  I also have four grandsons who keep me plenty busy.

I have been married for 43 years have 3 grown children and 4 grandchildren.  I live in Friendswood, Tx. and  have  my  law office at the same location on  North Memorial Way since 1970.  I enjoy walking in Memorial Park, fishing, gardening, and spending time at our family retreat in the Texas Hill Country feeding deer, birds, and other wildlife. But the best time I have is spending time with my grandchildren. Additionally I am  a long time resident of the Houston area having graduated from Bellaire High School in 1960.  I really enjoy helping people with their legal problems and taking on the giant corporations for ordinary people.

I have been handling Social Security disability cases since 1993.  However, I have been handling disability cases exclusively since 1998.  Morgan & Weisbrod is a leader in Social Securtiy disability law.  For more information about me or Morgan & Weisbord, please review our website at .

I have been drawn to the law since before I remember.  I pursued a law degree from South Texas College of Law in Houston graduating in 2004.  I have represented numerous clients, from private indviduals to large corporations.  My specific focus is on personal injury and general business litigation.

I have been a lawyer for 40 years. I handle all criminal law related matters, complex civil litigation, and certain types of private and government investigations. I win more cases than I should.

I have been a criminal defense lawyer my entire career.  I have spent my entire adult life fighting for my clients' rights. For the past 38 years I have defended people accused of crimes ranging from murder to drug conspiracies.  I understand that clients accused of a crime want their case dismissed and they want to get back to their lives.  I follow a simple philosophy.  If a man is not guilty he should plead not guilty and fight for his liberty.  It is my job to do everything I can to save my clients' liberty.

I have a wealth of estate planning, elder law experience and estate administration experience, having practiced in these areas for over 15 years.. I work closely with clients to craft estate plans which address their concerns including probate avoidance, tax planning, asset protection and elder law planning. The key to a good estate plan is to tailor the plan to your specific goals and implementing it ahead of time. I have unfortunately worked with many individuals who do not plan ahead, and the family is stuck paying for medical care out-of-pocket or suffering through the long probate process. I can use my broad experience to build an estate plan right for you and your family, serve your goals, help obtain Medicaid to access important long-term care and nursing home benefits, and make the estate administration process as smooth as possible.

I grew up poor but I figured out early on that education was the way out of poverty.  I always did well in school and, from the third grade on, I made up my mind I was going to become an attorney and help people.  Today, after many years of practice, I still have a burning desire to help the underdog and advance causes of social justice.   To me, the accident victim is the underdog in every case. He finds himself in debt with hospital bills, undable to work becauase of his injuries, and yet the adjuster won't even return his calls.  I get great satisfaction knowing I can level the playing field and get the adjuster's attention as soon as I enter the case.. When I am not seeking justice for my clients, I am either relaxing at home with my wife, traveling, or doing things with our grown twin daughters.  I love to read biographies and have a serious interest in American and Texas history.  I also enjoy spending time on my farm, tending to the land and riding and training my horses.

I grew up in North East Texas before coming to Houston to study law. After graduating from law school I began to practice law on my own and have since had the opportunity to help hundreds of clients deal with personal injury matters of all kinds. I truly enjoy what I do.

I grew up in Houston and attended Memorial High School before joining the United States Marine Corps. While enlisted I received my bachelor’s degree from Chapman University in California. After being Honorably Discharged, I returned to Houston and began working in the oil and gas industry. I went on to earn a master’s in business administration and Juris Doctorate at the University of Houston.. Over the past decade, I have aggressively represented clients injured through the negligence of others. My practice focuses on personal injury, including transportation and construction litigation. I am currently licensed to appear in all courts in Texas and before the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of Texas.

I graduated from University of Houston Law School in 2009, and was a recipient of the Public Interest Fellowship in 2006. I clerked in both the   public and private sector while in law school. After graduating from University of Houston Law School, I worked as an Associate Attorney for a  prestigious defense firm in Houston, Texas for over four years. I have handled cases in both State and Federal Courts. My litigation experience includes cases invovling breach of contact, shareholder oppression, shareholder rights, employment, general tort litigation, commercial litigation, premises liability litigation, trucking litigation as well as first party insurance litigation in which both contractual and extra-contractual causes of action have been asserted against insurance carriers. I also am on the board of directors for a credit union located in Sugar Land, Texas.

I graduated from Concordia University at Austin with a Bachelor of Arts in kinesiology.   I went on to attend the Thurgood Marshall School of Law, where I participated in moot court activities.  Soon after graduation, the Intense Trial Advocacy program at the University of Notre Dame Law School invited me to participate, which taught me invaluable trial skills and techniques. I have since been honored with an invitation from Notre Dame to assist in the very same program, and look forward to giving back to an initiative in which I strongly support.. During the California-based American Board of Trial Advocates Conference, I served as a witness in an ABOTA seminar. This was a huge honor as only the best of the best attorneys receive invitations to participate in this prestigious event.. In my first year of practice, I played an integral role in obtaining 18 million dollars in settlements for our firm which includes two wrongful death claims and four premises liability claims.. In the summer of 2014, I was honored with an invitation to attend the ABOTA National Trial College, in which I successfully attended and completed.. In my spare time, I enjoy the great outdoors, rooting for the Notre Dame football team and Houston local teams with my college sweetheart and our two sons.  I also volunteer with the Archidiocese of Galveston-Houston.

I founded this firm and brought to it a wide-range of both legal and professional experience. I have previously been associated with several law firms, owned my own private practice, been the general counsel for a corporation, served as a municipal judge, worked as a bank loan and servicing officer and organized and served as the president of a national bank. These experiences provide unique insights into both personal and business decisions are impacted by the law.. The practice of law is all about issues that people face in their business and personal lives and prefer to work with their attorney on a one-on-one basis. I take a hands-on approach to the practice of law, personally meeting with you, and working hard to protect your interests.

I focus exclusively on helping clients [individuals & businesses] resolve their consumer protection matters.

I focus 100% of my practice on criminal defense, particularly in Harris County and the surrounding counties of Texas. Criminal defense is a field of law that is particularly interesting to me because of its significance to the everyday life of United States citizens. Criminal defense lawyers represent the blockade between an encroaching government and the privacy of the people living under its rule. I take pride in defending the rights and liberties of my fellow Texans, and I will stand firm and aggressive in the face of those who seek to encroach upon those rights.

I firmly believe in defending our constitutional rights. I am a Texan through and through. Please let me fight for you.

I fight for  my clients.

I enjoy my passion for law and helping companies with their legal needs.  When I am not practicing law, I enjoy time with family, nonprofit work, travel and participating in local cook offs with my husband.

I enjoy helping people.  As a lawyer, especially a criminal defense lawyer, we must always remember that the client comes first.  That means diligent, competent and zealous representation.  I've tried many cases and handled all types of criminal matters.  I looked forward to helping you, your loved ones or referrals.

I did not start out as an estate planning attorney. Around 30 years ago, when I was practicing in the corporate section of Butler & Binion, a once major law firm in downtown Houston, I was recruited to join the firm's trust and estate section to assist business owners with their succession plans. The experience totally changed my understanding of the practice of law. I soon found that, as an estate planning attorney, I had a direct impact on how family members would relate to each other after a loved one becomes disabled or passes away. I loved the idea of being a family counselor, as well as an architect of an estate plan designed to protect assets and save money.. I left Butler & Binion in 1994 and joined with Tammy Manning in 1997 to form the law firm, Galligan & Manning. During the early years of Galligan & Manning, in addition to advising clients on estate planning matters, I worked with Tammy to help the firm's probate litigation clients find resolutions to the conflicts that often plague families after the death of a loved one.. One of the phrases I hear the most during an estate planning consultation is, "I just want everyone to get along after I'm gone." I have seen the triggers that can ignite a family conflict and result in heart wrenching and expensive litigation. This has helped me in my estate planning practice to show clients ways that conflict can be avoided or minimized after a loved one dies.. Whether it is working with a blended family, or with parents who want to protect their children from creditors or from losing their inheritance in a failed marriage, my greatest satisfaction comes when I hear a client say "I didn't know that was possible" or "I feel so empowered knowing that I can take steps now to keep peace in the future.". Many people think of estate planning as just focusing on an efficient transfer of assets from one generation to another, but to what end? I believe that my clients have as their purpose, not just the transfer of assets, but the desire to leave a legacy of love and family harmony.

I defend people on trial and appeal in state and federal court in Houston, Texas, and anywhere else I am needed.. I also defend the First Amendment in civil court by defending defamation (libel and slander actions).. I am board-certified in criminal law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and AV-Rated by Martindale Hubbell.. Please check out my website for information, including video interviews with me.
