Top Best Divorce Lawyers | 8330 Available

You are looking for a lawyer who will fight for you and understands what the stakes are. I'm a husband, father of two and been through a divorce. I have been all of those places you are now, and will be. Those common experiences are what bonds me with my clients. What sets me apart?. I live by these rules, but I also demand that my staff does the same.

I was an Associate Family Law Judge in Galveston County for 17 years.. I am also a trained Family Law mediator.. I have practiced in Galveston, Harris and Brazoria counties for 30 years.. We give "no nonsense" advice and try to tell you the best legal strategy considering the financial and emotional cost to you

My goal is to bring you the best service possible. I will work with you to assess your situation and give you options so that you can make an informed choice on how you want to best move forward.  While no lawyer can ever guarantee a result, I am able to resolve most issues without trial, and many with a phone call or letter. Those times I have gone to trial, I have usually prevailed. I have achieved favorable results in fields including but not limited to family law, including divorce, parenting and custody, criminal law, consumer law and credit repair.

One of the states in which I am admitted licenses me not only as an attorney but also a “Counsellor at Law”. I best counsel my clients as a supportive but calm buffer during their time of stress and emotion. With over 40 years in practice, I can clarify what seem to be incomprehensible procedures and legal gibberish to my clients, and explain how their facts fit into the legal factors the court weighs in deciding the issues.. If safety is not an overriding concern, I believe my client’s best interests (both emotional and financial) are served by negotiating agreed orders when possible, minimizing the mudslinging common in contested hearings. When hearings are necessary, my background as an accomplished debater, and writing skills derived as a legal writing instructor and Harvard English major, both help persuade the court.. In addition to full representation, I also offer hourly advice / drafting ("unbundled") legal services to individuals representing themselves. When the parties have their own attorneys but are unable to reach agreement, I have also served as mediator in settlement conferences since 1997.. Life is not all work, though. In my free time, I like digital photography, paddling a kayak, hiking, squash, tennis, cross-country skiing --- and playing Wii tennis, baseball, and bowling. Finally, I love tasty food and drink enjoyed with my wife and other good friends.. Favorite quote (from the late Judge McCutcheon, during a trial several years ago): “There’s still room in the law for common sense.”

I pride myself on my ability to be an effective advocate for my clients, both at the negotiation table and in the courtroom.  Clients like me because I am straight-forward, personable and have the savvy and experience necessary to achieve results.  I strive to keep my clients well-informed and provide the information they need to make smart decisions about their children, their money and their future..
