Where do we start?

Initial consultations with your local family law attorney will involve a comprehensive analysis of your unique circumstances and based on what you tell us, we’ll do our best to make personalized recommendations.

If you choose to hire our firm, we’ll walk alongside you through every stage of your matter, including negotiations, mediation, and potential litigation, all with a steadfast commitment to prioritizing your family’s best interests.

Let's Talk

Once you complete our detailed intake, we'll schedule a consult to discuss your concerns and answer questions. The more info you can provide upfront, the better we can utilize the time.

understand your rights

At the consult, we'll discuss your rights, determine your goals, and come up with a game plan. We prioritize honesty. If we believe you don't have a case, we'll let you know instead of just taking your money.

Moving Forward

Once you review and sign our fee agreement, we'll set you up with an online client portal. You can upload and view documents, message your attorney, and stay in the loop every step of your matter.

"Jonathan helped my family out with a child support, visitation and then adoption case. He was always professional, compassionate, and patient. He prepped me for hearings and helped me during hearings as needed. Jonathan and his staff were very helpful and answered all my questions with grace. They were always trying to look out for my/my child's best interests. He and his office staff were the best and I highly recommend them for any child support, visitation, and/or adoption needs. This has been the best lawyer experience I have had. I am extremely thankful for Jonathan and his staff.”

"Jonathan was extremely kind and responsive every question and I am so grateful to have him represent me. My case was very high stakes for me and he got me one of the best outcomes I could have hoped for. He was a responsible steward of my money and I can’t thank him and his team enough for helping me and keeping me informed every step of the way. My only regret is not finding him sooner."

Frequently-Asked Questions

Are your consultations free?

Generally yes. If there is paperwork to review beforehand (i.e. lease, prior final order, etc.) a fee may be charged.

What types of Matters do you Handle?

We primarily focus on family law matters (i.e. divorce, modifications, enforcements, paternity, etc.) but we also assist with some landlord-tenant, small claims, and can assist with basic wills and power of attorney documents.

Which Cities and Counties Do you Serve?

Our firm is based in Harker Heights, Texas, but we represent clients across Texas, including Killeen, Fort Hood, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Kempner, Salado, Troy, Gatesville, Belton, Nolanville, Temple, Georgetown, Lampasas, and Burnet within Bell, Burnet, Williamson, Coryell, and Lampasas counties.

Do you take payment plans?

It depends. The attorney and the billing staff will make that determination after your consult.

Do You Handle Military-Related Matters?

Yes. We regularly handle military divorces, division of military retirement, and child visitation when one parent is deployed, just to name a few.

Do you Offer Zoom or Phone Consults?

Yes, we do! We offer in-person, Zoom, and phone consults.

Can I walk in and schedule a consult?

No. At this time, we do not accept walk-in visits due to our being a small firm. We are often out of the office at the courthouse, meeting with clients, etc.

Do you bill on a flat fee basis?

Not at this time. Clients are required to pay an initial retainer and work is billed against the retainer. If more work needs to be completed and the client’s retainer balance is depleted, the firm will request that the retainer balance is replenished.
