Immigration
Can you help immigration clients outside Texas?
Yes. Immigration law is federal, and the firm represents clients throughout the United States and around the world.
What are the usual steps for an employment-based green card?
The process commonly includes labor certification, a petition and either adjustment of status or consular processing. The appropriate path depends on the petition category and the individual’s circumstances.
What are basic K-1 fiancé visa requirements?
Generally, the petitioner must be a U.S. citizen, both people must be legally free to marry and intend to marry within 90 days of entry, and the couple usually must have met in person within the prior two years unless an exception applies. Eligibility should be reviewed individually.
How long does a K-1 fiancé visa take?
Processing times vary based on the agencies and embassy or consulate involved. A consultation can help identify the current steps, documents and timing considerations for your situation.
Family law
Can an existing custody or child-support order be changed?
When circumstances materially change, a modification may be possible. Income, a child’s needs, schedules and relocation can all be important facts to discuss with an attorney.
What family-law matters do you handle?
We handle divorce, custody and visitation, child support, adoption, paternity, protective orders, post-divorce modification and enforcement, and certain family agreements.
What should I do if I need protection from domestic violence?
If there is immediate danger, call 911. For non-emergency legal help, contact the firm to discuss protective-order options and the other legal issues affecting your family.
Personal injury & criminal defense
What should I do after an accident?
Seek medical care, keep records such as photographs, reports, bills and insurance correspondence, and speak with an attorney before accepting a settlement or making assumptions about fault.
What should I do if I have been arrested or contacted by law enforcement?
Exercise your right to remain silent, ask to speak with an attorney and contact counsel promptly. An attorney can explain the process and discuss the facts of the matter with you.
Does reading this site create an attorney-client relationship?
No. The website provides general information only. An attorney-client relationship is created only through an appropriate agreement with the firm.
