3 Practice Disciplines

Texas Bankruptcy & Debt Relief Law

Chapter 7, Chapter 13 & Creditor Defense in Texas Federal Bankruptcy Courts

When individuals and businesses face insurmountable debt, wage garnishments, foreclosure notices, or creditor harassment, federal bankruptcy protection offers a structured legal reset. Practicing in the federal Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Texas, bankruptcy attorneys guide debtors through the protections of Title 11 of the United States Code.

Texas is widely recognized for having some of the most debtor-friendly exemption laws in the United States. Under Chapter 41 and 42 of the Texas Property Code, debtors can protect their primary residence with an unlimited dollar homestead exemption (subject to acreage limits), as well as substantial personal property, retirement accounts, and tools of the trade. Filing a bankruptcy petition triggers the immediate "automatic stay" under 11 U.S.C. § 362, legally prohibiting creditors from continuing debt collection lawsuits, foreclosures, or repossessions.

Texas Family Law & Domestic Relations

Protecting Parental Rights, Children & Marital Assets under the Texas Family Code

Family law matters are among the most emotionally challenging and legally intricate disputes an individual can face in the Texas legal system. Governed primarily by the Texas Family Code, family jurisprudence balances statutory rules with the discretionary equitable authority of family district court judges. Key issues center around the dissolution of marriage, complex financial divisions, and safeguarding the physical and psychological well-being of minor children.

Texas is a community property state. Under Texas Family Code § 3.002, all property acquired by either spouse during marriage is presumed to be community property subject to a "just and right division" upon divorce, unless proven by clear and convincing evidence to be separate property. In matters affecting the parent-child relationship (SAPCR), Texas courts prioritize the "best interest of the child" standard under § 153.002. Navigating temporary orders hearings, standard possession orders, expanded possession schedules, child support guidelines, protective orders, and mediation requires strategic, compassionate, and unwavering legal counsel.

Key Legal Matters & Services in Family Law

Representation through original petition filings, temporary restraining orders (TROs), temporary orders hearings, mandatory mediation, and final trial proceedings in Texas family courts.

Possession Orders & Visitation Schedules

High-Asset & Complex Property Division

Child Support & Spousal Maintenance

Decree Modifications & Enforcement Actions

Enforcing child support orders or custody decrees through motions for contempt, and filing petitions to modify custody or support following material changes in circumstances.

Dedicated family law attorneys provide compassionate guidance and strategic trial advocacy to protect your parental bonds, financial future, and family well-being.

Personal Injury Law

Civil Tort Claims, Negligence & Physical Injury Recovery in Texas

In Texas, personal injury law provides a critical legal pathway for individuals who have suffered bodily harm, emotional trauma, or catastrophic losses due to the negligence, carelessness, or intentional misconduct of another party. Under Texas civil tort law and the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, injured victims have the legal right to pursue full compensation for their economic damages—such as emergency medical treatment, surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, and lost past and future wages—as well as non-economic damages including physical pain, mental anguish, physical impairment, and disfigurement.

Texas operates under a modified comparative fault rule (proportionate responsibility under Chapter 33 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code). This means an injured plaintiff can recover damages as long as their share of liability is 50% or less, though their financial recovery is reduced by their allocated percentage of fault. Navigating insurance claims against major carriers requires rigorous case building: securing police crash reports, obtaining black-box telematics, interviewing witnesses, subpoenaing surveillance footage, consulting independent medical and accident reconstruction experts, and preparing compelling trial exhibits for Texas county and district courts.

“I was very overwhelmed with stress over a summons I received from Credit Card lawyer. And Pat put my mind at ease and is helping me with bankruptcy. The price is affordable I wish I would have done it a long time ago. Pat is very nice and I would suggest if you find yourself in this position go see him. The secretary was nice on the phone and in office as well.nThey do have a handicap ramp with rails as well as 4steps so the building access is handicapped friendly but I don't think a wheelchair could make it to the rooms but I'm sure they would accommodate you building is older. The parking is street, the sidewalks are good and level and easily accessible.”

“I hired John Stapleton as representation on a land dispute case, at first he reassured me he would get something done and that we had a strong case. Fast forward to today almost three years later since he was hired nothing has been done at all and he is withdrawing from my case. No phone call, no refund, just a letter in the mail. Very unprofessional in my opinion. Save yourself the headache and take your money elsewhere.”
