I've been practicing family law in Dallas for 33 years. What sets my firm apart is simple: every matter we take—divorce, custody, property division, modifications, enforcement, spousal support—is priced as a flat fee. You know the total cost of your case before we begin. No hourly billing, no retainers drawn down in fifteen-minute increments, no month-end invoices that catch you off guard.
I moved to this pricing model because I've spent three decades watching unpredictable legal fees add stress to families already going through the hardest moments of their lives. Hourly billing punishes clients for picking up the phone, for asking questions, for being thorough. Flat fees remove that barrier and let us focus on the only thing that matters: resolving your case efficiently and correctly.

Great Job
Chris did a great job representing me. I live in Missouri and my case was in Texas. He handled everything and I didn't have to travel to Texas. Could not have done it without him.
