also known as Mike Whelan, Jr.
Mike worked for nearly a decade in trucking and logistics before attending the University of Texas School of Law. This may sound like a contradiction, but working in a process-oriented industry helped him find the inefficiencies and inequities of the legal system. His experience helps him guide you through a complicated process.
With 4 children of his own, Mike also understands what matters in family law issues. He worked at the Children's Rights Clinic at the University of Texas, representing children in CPS cases. The experience further developed his kid-focused legal perspective.
He considers himself a teacher first, and is working to develop consumer training for residents of Rockport, Texas and the surrounding areas. Education is a passion of his, and Mike hosts an annual conference for Texas family lawyers to encourage them to be more transparent with clients. He's well known in the Texas family law community.
If you want a "bulldog attorney," Mike is probably not the right option for you. If you want an attorney who will help you take control of your life, please give Mike a call.

We were on our way to Texas from Utah for an adoption when our attorney called and backed out on us. We found Michael and he was able to get the paperwork done quickly. He was able to file our paper work to be able to cross state lines with the baby faster than we thought possible. He was a life save...

A couple of years ago I was faced with one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through; a custody battle. Mike somehow made me feel so much more at ease during such a difficult time. He always took the time to really listened to me, got back to me right away when I called, and got in touch wit...

Two years ago, I had the pleasure of working with Mike Whelan. I knew I was about to go through what could have easily been a messy custody battle. My ex had made threats to me and has a very unstable lifestyle. When I first called Mr. Whelan, I was scared and uncertain of how to navigate through ...
"Mr. Whelan is a conscientious, thoughtful attorney who always seems to be striving to find a way to give his clients better service and help other attorneys do likewise."
"I endorse this lawyer. Michael organized and co-hosted one of the best and innovative continuing legal educations I've ever attended. He is giving and caring person. He is extremely professional with everyone in interacts with. He is a strong advocate for his clients. If you have a legal issue, I highly recommend that you consult with him."
"I endorse attorney Michael Whelan for family law. He is a hard-working attorney and a leader in the Bar. Michael produces continuing legal education (CLE) materials and even co-administers a CLE for attorneys to attend and learn. I endorse Michael."
"I've known Michael Whelan since law school. Even then he showed true passion for family law. He has since grown that passion into his family law practice where he always strives to get the best results for his clients while maintaining as amicable an environment as possible for all those involved."
"I have known Mike for a few years. I had the pleasure of working with him in the same office for a little over a year before we both went out on our own. His approach to divorce, custody, enforcements, and modification issues gives his clients the highest value for their dollar. He throws himself into the client's dilemma and provides real-world advice and solutions. If you want a straight answer for your case and its total costs, then look no further."
"I've known Mike for years and I wholeheartedly endorse him as an attorney. He actively stays up on top of current case law and judicial preferences. He has a great attitude and quick wit that plays well inside the court room and out."
"I've known Michael for about four years. A caring family man, he's passionate about family law. He genuinely empathizes and is concerned about his clients and both their well-being and the well-being of their families."
