Let Us Handle Your Case

Over 20 Years of Protecting the Your Rights

Legal Consultation and Advice

One of the primary responsibilities of a family law and divorce attorney is to provide legal consultation and advice to their clients. They listen to their clients’ concerns, assess their specific situations, and offer guidance on the best course of action based on applicable laws and regulations. The attorney helps clients understand their rights, responsibilities, and potential outcomes related to divorce, child custody, property division, alimony, and other family law matters.

Representation in Divorce Proceedings

Family law and divorce attorneys represent their clients in divorce proceedings, advocating for their interests and protecting their rights. They handle all legal aspects of the divorce, including drafting and filing legal documents, negotiating settlements, and representing clients in court hearings when necessary. The attorney strives to achieve a fair and favorable resolution for their client while working to minimize conflict and emotional distress.

Child Custody and Support Matters

A significant aspect of family law involves child custody and support matters. Family law attorneys help clients navigate child custody arrangements, including legal and physical custody, visitation schedules, and modifications to existing orders. They also assist in determining child support amounts based on the parents’ financial circumstances and the child’s needs, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized.

Representation in Divorce Proceedings

During divorce proceedings, marital assets and debts must be fairly and equitably divided between the spouses. Family law attorneys assist in identifying and valuing marital property, including real estate, financial assets, businesses, and personal belongings. They negotiate property division settlements and, if necessary, present arguments in court to achieve a just distribution.

Spousal Support (Alimony)

In some divorce cases, one spouse may be entitled to receive spousal support (alimony) from the other spouse. Family law attorneys help clients understand their rights and obligations related to spousal support. They analyze factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial contributions, and their earning capacity to determine appropriate alimony amounts.

Mediation & Dispute Resolution

Family law and divorce attorneys often encourage alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to resolve issues outside of court. They facilitate negotiations between the parties to reach mutually acceptable agreements on matters like child custody, support, and property division. By promoting collaboration, mediation can lead to more amicable and cost-effective resolutions.

Pit Bull with a Heart of Gold

By the time I decided I had to divorce my husband due to ongoing infidelity and abuse, I was an absolute wreck. Luckily a friend recommended Michelle. During my initial (free) consultation, she asked a lot of pertinent questions and explained to me my options, but most importantly she LISTENED. She was very kind and caring – but was very careful not to let me derail things into a therapy session, which people are wont to do when going through something as emotional as a divorce. (And many lawyers are happy to let you yak away and bill you for every minute of it). Her prices were very reasonable. My (now) ex-husband is cunning, intelligent, ruthless and intimidating. If it wasn’t for Michelle, I would have been trampled and taken advantage of. She is so lovely and pleasant you’d hardly know the Pit Bull that lurks inside her. But my husband met the Pit Bull part and was taken aback at how hard she fought for me. She also doesn’t take advantage of her clients by padding the bill or running up her billable hours by taking longer to get things done than she needs to. She gave me solid advice, answered my questions in layman’s terms and always responded quickly. She fought for me tooth and nail and while I had to make compromises, she led me through that minefield so I ended up with what was most important to me. I have made it through to the “other side” now and am happy living my “new normal”. I don’t think I would have made it through the most horrific year of my life, without Michelle and I highly recommend her.

Best attorney ever!

My husband and I hired Michelle Blair for a very difficult child custody case and it was the best decision we could have made. I’ve never seen a more dedicated attorney. She genuinely cared about our issues and our children’s welfare. Michelle always made time for us, and when we were stressed out she remained calm and used her knowledge and experience to resolve out concerns. She even had to combat a very dishonest, blowhard opposing counsel and handled him very confidently and respectfully, which really earned our respect and confidence. There was also a situation where we thought she was doing something wrong for our case and it turned out that she was 100% right! She didn’t give up on us WE were wrong, and really proved that she had our best interest. I can’t ever repay her for what she has done for my family. If I ever need a family law attorney in the future I wouldn’t hire anyone else! And if anyone is searching for the best family law attorney, Michelle Blair is it!

She was a stand lawyer, who truly put all that she could forward to help me win my case

Michelle was helpful from day one. She always made sure to keep in contact with me even on the weekends, when my case was transferred to Juvenile court Michelle made sure to help me find a lawyer who was best suited to deal with that form of court. Michelle even kept in contact with me to see how my case was going. I would like to add she did all of this most of the time over the phone cause i had to leave California to keep my job here in Texas. I would recommend her over and over again
