    Matt and team were amazing to work with. Their fees were reasonable. I would 10/10 recommend and if I am ever in need again I know who to call.

    - Pamela H.
    "He over-delivered and we couldn't be happier."
    Tyler was Awesome! He kept in contact, answering emails and any questions we had. He let us know the process, and what to expect. He wasn't wrong. He even negotiated with my ex since she was without attorney and dealt with all the crazy with no complaints. His staff was also very professional and friendly, always helpful. I really liked that he had set pricing, not by the hour, so that at each stage we knew what the bill was going to be. That may not work in every case, but for ours it was great.
    - Rodney S.
    "Tyler and Jamie were exceptional in their services, showing professionalism, empathy, and expertise throughout my case."
    Jamie's clear communication, attention to detail, and dedication to achieving the best outcome were evident at every step. They skillfully navigated complex legal challenges, ensuring our well-being and confidence in every decision.
    - Celina L.
    "After my injury, they were the only law firm where a real local person answered the phone."
    This told me I would get the personal service I needed, and they went above and beyond my expectations. They got me the appointments I needed, explained any questions I had, and were always there to help. Some days were not easy for them, considering I was an emotional wreck after my injury, but they handled everything with care and reassured me until I felt better. They are truly an amazing law firm that provides great personal service.
    - Rae L.

It Is Not Too Late to Get the Legal Help You Need

One of the most common concerns we hear from people who started a case on their own is whether it is too late to hire an attorney. The answer is no. Whether you have only filed the initial paperwork or hearings have already taken place and orders are in effect, our team is prepared to step in and take over. There is no stage of a family law or divorce case in Texas at which experienced legal representation stops being helpful.

Challenges That Can Arise in Pro Se Cases

Handling a family law or divorce case without an attorney is a significant undertaking, and complications can and usually do arise along the way. No matter how much effort you put into your own case, the proceedings will be complex, and most require direct knowledge of Texas laws and legal requirements.

When taking over a client’s pro se case, we often see that they have unknowingly made these mistakes among others:

  • Procedural errors or missed deadlines that created complications or hurt their position
  • Temporary orders entered without the benefit of legal strategy or negotiation
  • Discovery that was incomplete, improperly requested, or not requested at all
  • Agreements or stipulations signed without a full understanding of their long-term implications
  • Communication with the opposing party or their attorney that affected the case
  • Court filings that did not fully or accurately represent the client's position

How We Step In & Move Your Case Forward

When our team takes over your case, we begin with a thorough review of everything that has been filed and everything that has taken place so far. We assess the status, identify any issues or gaps that need to be addressed, and develop a strategy tailored to your situation and goals. From that point forward, we can handle everything, including filings, communications, negotiations, hearings, and all other proceedings, so that you can focus on the rest of your life.

Pro Cases We Can Take Over

Our Fort Worth pro se attorneys are prepared to take over cases involving:

We are also prepared to step into pro se personal injury cases. If you began pursuing a personal injury claim on your own and have since realized you need experienced legal representation in your corner, we can help with that as well.

frequently asked questions

  • What’s the first step in hiring a criminal defense lawyer?
    Contact our firm for a free consultation. We’ll discuss your case, explain your rights, and outline the best defense strategy for your situation.
  • Can I be charged with a crime even if the alleged victim doesn’t press charges?
    Yes. In many cases, the prosecution can proceed with charges regardless of the victim’s wishes, particularly in domestic violence cases.
  • How does a criminal record affect my ability to own a firearm in Texas?
    Convicted felons lose their right to possess firearms, and certain misdemeanors may also lead to restrictions. Expungement or legal action may help restore your rights.
