4 Practice Disciplines

Criminal Defense & Constitutional Advocacy

Defending Constitutional Rights in Texas Municipal, County & District Courts

Facing criminal charges in Texas places an individual's freedom, reputation, employment, and constitutional liberties under direct threat from the formidable resources of state or federal prosecutors. Under the Texas Penal Code and the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, criminal allegations range from Class C misdemeanors through first-degree and capital felonies that carry severe mandatory prison sentences and life-altering collateral consequences.

Effective criminal defense requires immediate intervention and proactive constitutional scrutiny. Seasoned Texas criminal defense attorneys examine every phase of the state's case: evaluating whether law enforcement had reasonable suspicion for initial traffic stops, probable cause for warrantless searches or arrests, adherence to Miranda warnings, chain of custody for physical evidence, and compliance with statutory blood and breath testing protocols. Early defense representation allows counsel to engage prosecutors before grand jury indictments, negotiate bond reductions at magistrate hearings, file motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence, and present robust defenses before Texas juries.

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.

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

United States Immigration & Nationality Law

Navigating USCIS, Consular Processing & Removal Defense in Texas

Immigration law is an exclusively federal practice that touches the lives of thousands of families and businesses across Texas. Because immigration law is governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and federal administrative regulations, attorneys represent clients before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) immigration courts, and U.S. consulates globally.

In a state with extensive international trade and vibrant immigrant communities, immigration counsel is vital for preserving family unity and securing legal status. Legal representation encompasses family-based immigrant visa petitions, green card adjustments of status, naturalization and citizenship interviews, waivers of inadmissibility, DACA renewals, affirmative and defensive asylum petitions, and bonded removal defense in Texas detention facilities.

Citizenship & Naturalization (Form N-400)

Preparing naturalization packages, addressing continuous residence inquiries, tax compliance, and representation during USCIS examiner interviews.

Employment & Investor Visas (H-1B, L-1, E-2)

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.

Key Legal Matters & Services in Personal Injury

Motor Vehicle & Commercial Trucking Collisions

Comprehensive representation for commercial 18-wheeler collisions, delivery fleet crashes, car wrecks, motorcycle collisions, and rideshare (Uber/Lyft) accidents across Texas interstates (I-35, I-10, I-45).

Catastrophic Brain, Spinal & Burn Injuries

Dedicated advocacy for traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord severing, quadriplegia, paraplegia, and severe burn injuries requiring lifelong medical care and structured life care plans.

Premises Liability & Property Hazards

Pursuing negligent property owners, commercial landlords, retail stores, and hotels for hazardous conditions, inadequate security, slip and falls, structural collapses, and dog attacks under Texas premises liability law.

Wrongful Death & Survival Actions

Representing surviving spouses, children, and parents under the Texas Wrongful Death Act to secure financial stability and accountability following fatal negligence.

Workplace & Industrial Job Site Accidents

Legal representation for non-subscriber workplace accidents, refinery explosions, drilling rig failures, and construction site incidents across Texas industrial sectors.

Insurance Bad Faith & Trial Litigation

Confronting commercial insurance adjusters attempting to undervalue, delay, or deny valid claims, advancing to jury trials when settlement negotiations fail.

Legal counsel in Texas personal injury claims investigates liability, gathers medical proof, negotiates with insurers, and presents evidence to achieve fair compensation for clients.

“I had an amazing experience working with Kavi for my marriage-based green card application. I met her in August 2025, filed in September 2025, and was approved by November 2025. The entire process was incredibly smooth and much faster than I expected.nnEven though she is based in Texas and I am in Pennsylvania, we never met in person and everything still worked perfectly. Her communication was always clear and easy to understand. She was available even on weekends and always responded to my texts and emails quickly, which made the whole process stress-free. She patiently guided me through every step and ensured all my documents were perfect.nnI'm truly grateful for her support and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.”
