Trust, Confidence And Expertise: The Three Qualities Of Successful Family Lawyers.
If you are facing a divorce, child custody dispute or another family-related legal issue, it is important that you hire attorneys who understand Texas family law. They must inspire trust and confidence among clients and demonstrate expertise in legal practice.
The attorneys at Jon Michael Franks, PC, in Grapevine, Texas, possess these qualities. Our law firm represents clients throughout North Texas in family legal matters only. Our intense focus enables us to provide the highest quality legal service to clients, even in the most complex family disputes. We have established a decades-long record of success in representing clients in family legal matters.
Our attorneys, Jon Michael Franks and Frank P. Skipper, are highly respected and deeply experienced family law practitioners. They and our dedicated staff members strive daily to obtain favorable and satisfying resolutions for clients and their families, whether those resolutions are best found through negotiation, collaboration, mediation, arbitration or litigation.
We assist clients in all family legal matters, including divorce, child custody and visitation, child support, alimony or spousal support, and the division of marital debts and assets under the community property laws in Texas. We are particularly effective in complicated, high-asset divorces and contentious child custody situations.
Proven And Experienced Grapevine Family Lawyers
Our seasoned family lawyers provide comprehensive family law representation to their clients. They will do more than represent you in court: they will provide solid advice and complete the important tasks leading up to a trial, negotiation, mediation or arbitration of your legal matter. They will listen to your concerns, explore your options with you, and help you to determine the best strategy to reach your unique and particular goals.
In a divorce, this can mean helping you to determine and document your assets and liabilities, factoring realistic living expenses and setting up budgets, and prioritize the outcomes that you most need to accomplish.
In a child custody and visitation situation, it can mean evaluating the circumstances of both parents compared to the best interests of the child, or negotiating effectively with the other party for a resolution that is both satisfactory and durable. It can also mean preparing exhaustively for court, so that you and your child can receive the best outcome possible from a judge.
