Our Family Law practice is focused on quick, effective, and successful resolution of your domestic relations matter.  Too often, we have seen clients represented by so-called family law "experts" be persuaded to engage in lengthy, expensive, and emotionally draining litigation over matters that should have been resolved quickly and without unnecessary motions, discovery, delays, and expense.  While detailed discovery and motion practice are necessary in some cases, they are often not needed in achieving a successful, mutually agreeable divorce, or to resolving a child custody, or child support issue.  Indeed, many clients simply cannot afford a "Cadillac" divorce, nor do they wish to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars, only to arrive at a result that could have been attained much more quickly and cheaply.  Mr. Jones' extensive knowledge of Texas family law, litigation, motion practice, discovery, and business law permits him to move the client (and the other side) to a prompt and appropriate resolution, while in many cases enabling former spouses to maintain a civil relationship.  If a prompt, affordable, and agreeable resolution is what you seek, contact us to discuss how we can assist you. 

Having a will is one of the most basic protections you can provide for yourself and your family.  At our firm, it is surpisingly affordable.  In Texas, provided you have a properly drafted will (not one off the shelf from an office supply store or from a "one-size-fits all" website), probate is simple and inexpensive.  Much has been made of "avoiding probate" by some in Texas who seek to sell unnecessary, inappropriate, and in some cases detrimental "trusts" or other unusual estate planning arrangements.  In many cases, simply having a valid will drafted by a knowledgable attorney is all you need to protect your assets and your loved ones.  If your estate does not exceed the amount exempted from federal estate taxes (for 2013, total estates valued at not more than $5.2 million will not be taxable), then you likely do not require extensive and pricey estate planning.  We can, through an expertly drafted will, provide for the proper disposition of your estate in the manner you direct.  Having a valid, and properly drafted will streamlines the probate process, so that it is both affordable and quick.  As with any area of the law involving taxes and court involvement, consult an expert attorney to avoid mistakes and unpleasant surprises.
