I am a life-long resident of southeast Texas, a graduate of Port Neches-Groves High School and Lamar University - Beaumont. I am married to Tara Wolfe McEachern and we have five children.. After a half-decade in private practice in southeast Texas, I was honored to serve the next four and one-half years as an Assistant Attorney General for the Texas Child Support Division in their Woodville and Nederland offices.. I returned to private practice in December of 2013, to focus primarily in the legal areas of family, divorces, child custody and child support serving Jefferson County, Texas and surrounding counties.. In August of 2022, I accepted an invitation to join the well-established firm, Wells, Peyton, Partain, Baldo & Lighty, L.L.P. in Beaumont and, after an almost 3- year stint, I returned to private practice exclusively in the area of family law as the "McEachern Law Firm" in May of 2025.. My mission is for clients to trust me with their legal issues by offering them competent legal advice, just like I would seek if I were in their shoes seeking guidance with a legal issue. I want to change the way people think about attorneys. I'm not just interested in obtaining clients for the present, I seek to earn clients' trust and respect so they return to me in the future for all their future legal issues. I don't want my clients to have any regrets or reservations concerning their case. I will counsel my clients on their available options and possible outcomes so that clients can make an informed decision on how to proceed on their cases. Sometimes the client's decision on a case will not be the most profitable to me, but being a true professional involves the ability to put the client's interest above my own.

I understand, personally, the turmoil that divorce and child custody actions bring.  I have been through both, and empathize with my clients.  I understand their need to have a compasstionate attorney, who is dedicated to helping them understand the court process and devoted to helping them get the best resolution.

I am a second career lawyer. Before attending law school I spent ten years serving in the military as an attack helicopter pilot.  I am a father and zealous advocate in family law cases.  The same integrity, honesty and dependability required to operate as an aviator, now exists to create a dynamic attorney-client relationship.

I strive to save people from the full "litigation experience" of divorce. I try to help clients through the family law process as painlessly as possible, keeping their ultimate goals in mind. I try to facilitate agreed resolutions that allow my clients to move on with their lives.. I have been practicing primarily family law since 2009. Before I went into practice I was a law librarian and legal research professor for 13 years. I have experience handling divorce, modification of child custody and support, drafting of qualified domestic relations orders (QDRO), estate planning and probate matters. My office is well equipped to handle most family law matters, from the simple to the very complex. We also handle collaborative family law matters and adoptions..

I ensure that my clients understand all their options so that they can make an informed decision.  I understand that family law matters are extremely personal and that the client must make the best decision for his or her family, not the attorney.   After informing the client of all their options, I work to achieve all of their objectives as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.  I have developed an excellent working relationship with many of the family law attorneys in the DFW Metroplex and work to resolve cases through successful negotiation.  I am able to resolve family law matters without going to trial in an overwhelming majority of cases, thus saving the client the emotional toll that comes with testifying in Court.  However, if going to trial is necessary then I have the courtroom experience to achieve my clients’ objectives, and I am Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, which is the highest level of recognition for specialized expertise in a specific area of law.  I. In addition to family law, I have also represented clients in a variety of criminal matters, including drug charges, DWI defense, and expunctions. I understand that a criminal charge is one of the most stressful experiences that clients will face in their lives.  I work hard to achieve the best possible outcome for my clients and have successfully removed several arrests from clients’ permanent records through the expunction process.. I truly enjoy my work at Anderson Legal Group, P.C. and look forward to speaking with you about your potential family law or criminal matter.  Contact our office to set up a free consultation to discuss your specific legal questions.
