Brooks William Conover Attorney at Law

Divorce
Child Support
I was divorced 2 years ago, and now my ex-spouse refuses to pay child support and will not comply with several other provisions of the divorce decree. What can I do to enforce my rights under the divorce decree?
Child Custody and Visitation
You must file suit against your ex-spouse to enforce the provisions of the Final Decree of Divorce. If the child support obligations are payable through the Office of the Attorney General, it could take months or years before action is taken. By hiring an attorney to file suit to enforce the decree, action on your case will be taken more quickly. Moreover, the Attorney General does not get involved in matters such as custody and visitation disputes, or other issues that do not involve the financial obligations of your ex-spouse to pay child support or provide medical insurance.
Adoption
Guardianship
While a Will is important to have upon death, many people overlook the documents needed while you are still alive. For example, most people need a Statutory Durable Power of Attorney so that your financial affairs can be taken care of if you are unable to act on your own behalf. If you do not have a Power of Attorney and something happens to you, your wife or other family member may have to apply for a guardianship in court. The guardianship process is costly, while advanced planning in the form of a Statutory Durable Power of Attorney is relatively inexpensive.

Criminal Defense
Criminal cases also involve different procedures than in civil cases. In the past, each County and District Attorney were not required to allow a criminal defense attorney access to all information in their files. As of January 1, 2014, however, all of the District and County Attorneys in Texas are required by law to provide each criminal defense attorney hard copies of all documents, witness statements, and investigative reports or via Electronic Discovery. This new process has helped level the “playing field” for criminal defendants. Once an attorney in a criminal case has received the prosecutor’s files, the attorney must then file various pre-trial motions before the case is set for trial.
DUI/DWI
In some cases, a DWI can be a felony offense. A third DWI is a felony. Having a child passenger in your vehicle at the time of the offense, injuring someone during an accident while you are legally intoxicated, or an injury to a person leading to their death are all felonies of various degrees.
Traffic Violations
Misdemeanors
The legal limit in Texas is.08 Blood Alcohol Content (BAC). If a breath or blood test indicates that your BAC meets or exceeds that limit, then you are presumptively guilty of the offense. A first DWI offense is a Class B Misdemeanor and you could face a punishment of up to 180 days in the county jail and up to a $2000.00 fine. The minimum term of confinement is 72 hours. A second offense is a Class A Misdemeanor with punishment of up to 1 year in the county jail and a $4000.00 fine. The minimum term of confinement is 30 days. Even a first DWI can be enhanced to a Class A Misdemeanor if your BAC is.15 or greater.
Drug Crimes

Employment Discrimination
This sounds like a case of employment discrimination based upon your age. If you believe that you have been discriminated against, you can file a complaint with the Texas Workforce Commission-Civil Rights Division or the federal EEOC depending on the number of individuals employed by the company. You must file your “intake questionnaire” with the TWC-CDR within 180 days of the adverse employment action or within 300 days with the EEOC. The agency intake investigator will convert you filing into a formal complaint.
Sexual Harassment

Real Estate Transactions
Eminent Domain
Depending upon your circumstances and the location of your mineral rights, you may also need to address issues regarding pipeline easements. Oil and gas companies often can use the eminent domain process to place a pipeline on your property even if you do oppose it. Your attorney, more often than not, can negotiate a greater per foot payment for a pipeline easement than you could on your own. Never sign an oil and gas lease or pipeline easement without first consulting an attorney.
Easement

Personal Injury
Some attorneys represent clients on a flat fee basis depending upon the type and complexity of the particular case. Others charge clients at an hourly rate. However, most attorneys also require that a client pay court costs and other fees, such as service fees, associated with your case. Prior to retaining an attorney to represent you, you should insist that the attorney inform you what costs you will be responsible for in addition to the attorney’s fees. Fees for criminal cases, civil cases, family law cases, and personal injury cases vary from case to case and county to county.

Trusts and Estates

Wills
In addition, you and your wife should have Medical Powers of Attorney, which name someone to make medical decisions for you if you are incapacitated and unable to make your own decisions about your medical care. You and your wife should also consider preparing Advanced Directives, or what some people refer to as Living Wills. These documents direct your physician to provide or withhold certain medical treatment if you have a “terminal condition” or irreversible condition.” You should consult your physician about the types of treatments you may or may not want to be withheld based upon your medical needs, as well as whether you may need an “Out-Of-Hospital” Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order.
Power of Attorney
It is best that wills, powers of attorneys, medical powers of attorney, advanced health care directives, and other legal documents be in place before some catastrophic event happens. By hiring an attorney before something bad happens to a loved one or yourself, you or your surviving family members can avoid years of heartache and potential litigation.
