Divorce
As you have probably guessed, the costs ultimately depend on the size and nature of disputes that must be resolved to finalize a divorce. In Grayson County, hourly rates for attorneys range from approximately $100.00 to $300.00 an hour. An uncontested divorce with no children and no real estate could be done for as little as $500.00 plus costs. Costs, which include the filing fees and service of the petition on your spouse, are approximately $300.00. A heavily contested case involving complex assets or child custody disputes is expensive and the fees can run into thousands of dollars. Either way, it is important that you receive experienced, effective representation by your attorney.

Either way, it is important that you receive experienced, effective representation by your attorney.
Child Support
Temporary orders control what rules govern between the time the temporary orders are entered and the final decree. Temporary orders may be issued regarding custody, possession and child support of the children, possession of the home, automobiles and other personal property, temporary support and maintenance, payment of debts, use of credit cards and the management of any business or other assets. Temporary orders are also used to restrict the use of assets, accumulation of debts and to prohibit or limit physical contact and/or harassment. The hearing on temporary orders is vital and often influences the final disposition of the case.
Child Custody and Visitation
Divorce & Child Custody Attorney who has won divorce and child custody cases from a jury for both the father and the mother.
Guardianship
Generally, it is a good idea to consider executing mutual powers of attorney at the same time you do your wills. Since you did not, you should consider doing so now. Basically, a power of attorney is a document whereby you authorize someone (your spouse) to sign your name and to act for you to conduct your affairs, business or personal, in any manner they deem appropriate. This power can include the right to access bank accounts, sell real estate or cash your social security check. These powers can be limited to prohibit any specific matters that you choose. The purpose of a power of attorney in this setting is to allow the non-incapacitated spouse to continue operating your business and personal lives as smoothly as possible. Without such a power of attorney, the non-incapacitated spouse may have no choice but to go to court to take out a guardianship on you while you are incapacitated. This process is much more expensive and time consuming than the simple use of a power of attorney. The size or nature of your estate or the nature of your familial relationships may make a power of attorney not your best choice. In some cases, a trust arrangement may need to be established to properly protect your estate and to insure that your wishes are carried out.

Criminal Defense
Member of Texas Trial Lawyers Association, Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Grayson County Defense Lawyers Association, State Bar of Texas, Grayson County Bar Association
DUI/DWI
Sometimes for blood but never for breath. An officer has authority to order a blood sample from an arrested person only if there has been an accident where a death has resulted, a death is likely to occur, or there has been a serious bodily injury. Everyone arrested for DWI who has taken the police breath or blood test has a statutory and/or due process constitutional right to a second independent blood test by their own doctor if the test can be performed within two hours of the arrest. Thus, a lawyer may offer additional benefits to an arrested person because the lawyer has a greater opportunity to arrange for and coordinate such a blood test than does the person in jail for DWI.

Restraining Order
Property division within the context of a divorce is very similar to two partners dividing up a business. It is improper for one partner to hide assets from the other partner.

Additionally, your attorney can utilize certain ‘discovery’ tools such as Requests for Production and Written Interrogatories to track bank accounts and property.

Personal Injury
Personal injury is an area of the law that encompasses all types of injuries including death stemming from a wide variety of causes. Substandard nursing home care, errors by medical doctors, nurses or hospitals, dangerous prescription medications, harmful children’s vaccines, automobile wrecks, unsafe working conditions, unsafe products – such as automobiles that are inclined to rollover, tires that are prone to blowout, or poorly designed machinery – and an infinite number of other unacceptable actions and practices cause serious injury and death to people every day. Every day. The personal injury lawyer’s job is to hold accountable the person(s) and businesses responsible for these unacceptable actions and practices. More specifically, to hold them accountable by making them pay compensation for your damages, by bringing publicity to the wrong doing and thereby forcing corrective actions and practices and preventing reoccurrence.
Auto Accidents

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Although no one wants to really think about it, it is important that you have a will. Without a will, state law will determine what happens with your estate. A will is simply your opportunity to express your wishes about what is going to happen to your property after your death. A little time spent putting together a will and possibly some other estate planning type documents can save a lot of time and money being spent later by your family. A little time planning now will give you peace of mind right now that you have taken what burdens you can off of your family should something happen to you. Preparing your will is really not only an intelligent business decision but an act of kindness and consideration toward your family.
