"The names have been withheld to protect the innocent."
Posted Dec. 7, 2010: "Today, charges of assault, with allegations of bodily injury and allegations of family violence, were dismissed by the Government with the consent of the Trial Court. We struggled with the State's attorneys for months before justice was served. My client's good name is restored." By coming to see us before a problem arose, we were able to help this client's situation temendously.
Posted August 9, 2010: "Last week, I represented a young woman whose young daughter had been taken into foster care by Child Protective Services (CPS). I only had two days to prepare for the trial over whether to return the toddler to her mother. CPS and their attorneys wanted to keep the little girl in foster care. I was able to show the court that there was no reason for CPS to have taken the little girl into foster care in the first place, and that there was no reason not to return the child to the young mother. CPS and their attorneys were completely unwilling to even consider sending the little girl home, right up until the time that the Judge ordered the return. A 'home study' will still be done at the mother's home, but her little girl's three week ordeal in foster care was ended within three days of my involvement." Posted Feb. 19, 2010: "In the early weeks of January 2010, I appeared with a husband-father whose soon-to-be-ex-wife who, for no good reason, had fled the State of Texas while pregnant with their planned son-to-be. A trial was presented at the County Court at Law of a rural county in Central Texas. The trial court ordered the wife to return the child to the County where the father lived or relinquish the child to the father. There is reason to believe that this complex question to jurisdictional law may be pursued to the highest court in the land. Updates on this case are to be expected."
Posted July 30, 2010: "In the early summer of 2010, I appeared at the Travis County District Court's family law docket call with a father who was being falsely accused of committing family violence. The mother's application for a protective order was denied on the merits after a full day trial before a district judge, and the family violence charges were fully defeated. The opposite result would have cost this man, father of a little girl and a little boy, his parental relationship with his children and probably his career. The accuser in this case was shown to have a motive to lie about the alleged events, and a cloud doubt was cast upon theallegations. We convinced the Court that there had NOT been any family violence at all."
Posted March 25, 2010: "In late 2009, my client was arrested on a three year old warrant for a serious misdemeanor charge. Investigation revealed that the complaint had never been properly processed, and that the client really didn't know anything about the charges until his recent arrest, three years after the alleged events. Two weeks ago, the Travis County Court at Law granted my motion to dismiss the case due to the unreasonable delay, over the objections of the prosecution."
Posted Jan. 15, 2010: "In the closing days of 2009, I was retained by a father whose ex-wife had lost the ability to properly care for their teen-aged daughter. The ex-wife had become addicted to prescription medications and was living in a general state of intoxication, and was leaving the daughter to 'fend for herself.' This is understandably difficult when you live in the suburbs and aren't old enough to drive yet. Within four weeks, we had obtained a court order immediately removing the daughter from the mother's home and placing her with her father, our client. The results have been astounding."
