Firm Focus
How Are You Different?
At The Law Office of Jonathan Tanaka, PLLC, we pride ourselves on delivering an unparalleled level of personalized and specialized attention to each and every client.
We understand that navigating through family law matters can be emotionally taxing and complex. We approach every case with a tailored strategy, ensuring that you receive the dedicated support you deserve. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, we are here to guide you step-by-step, providing compassionate guidance and unwavering support throughout the entire process.
Your story is unique, and so is our commitment to assisting you in achieving the best possible outcome for you and your loved ones.
Honesty
We prioritize honesty. If we believe you don’t have a case based on what you’re telling us, we’ll let you know right at the consultation. We endeavor to be wise stewards of your time and money.
Access
Clients have access to their attorney through our portal, ensuring clear and direct communication. Due to our smaller size, we can dedicate more resources and time to each client.
Amicability
If you’re looking for an “aggressive” attorney, we’re not that. We fight hard for you but we don’t sacrifice integrity to get a cheap win. Our approach prioritizes long-term solutions and fosters cooperation among all parties.
Our Focus
Our Practice Areas
We believe in quality over quantity, which is why we intentionally limit our caseload.
This approach allows us to dedicate the necessary time and attention to each case, ensuring that your legal matters receive the priority they deserve.
Our primary focus is on achieving the best outcomes for our clients, and our commitment goes beyond financial gains – it’s about securing your family’s future with the utmost care and dedication.

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.). We also handle military divorce.
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.

Why is it important to know where an attorney typically practices? It’s always a good idea to hire a local attorney who is familiar with that Judge and court.
Plus, because they’re closer to the courthouse, you don’t have to pay as much for their transportation costs vs. an attorney who lives several hours away!
