FAQs About Our Montgomery County Legal Services

Find answers to common questions across our three practice areas.

Montgomery County courts prioritize the best interest of the child, considering each parent’s stability, work schedule, and the child’s preferences depending on age. Texas child support guidelines apply. We advocate for arrangements that protect your parental rights and your child’s stability.
Montgomery County courts prioritize the best interests of the child, considering each parent’s stability, work schedule, and the child’s preferences depending on age. Texas child support guidelines apply. We advocate for arrangements that protect your parental rights and your child’s stability.
Texas is a community property state, meaning assets acquired during marriage are typically divided 50/50. Separate property (owned before marriage or inherited) stays with that spouse. We ensure fair division under Montgomery County court standards.
Yes. Orders can be modified if there’s a material change in circumstances—job loss, relocation, income changes, or child’s needs. Montgomery County courts must find modification is in the child’s best interest. We file petitions and represent you throughout the process.
Stay calm, exercise your right to remain silent, and contact an attorney immediately. Do not answer police questions without a lawyer present. We advise you on bail options, charges, and your constitutional rights. Call (281) 810-9760 immediately after arrest.
First DWI offense carries up to 180 days in jail, $2,000 in fines, and license suspension. Penalties increase with prior convictions. We investigate your case thoroughly, challenge evidence like breathalyzer results, and minimize consequences.
Yes. Charges can be dismissed if evidence was obtained illegally, procedures weren’t followed correctly, or if the prosecution lacks sufficient evidence. We file suppression motions and challenge the state’s case aggressively.  
Misdemeanors carry up to 1 year in county jail; felonies carry 2+ years in state prison. Felonies result in permanent criminal record and loss of certain rights. Both require aggressive defense strategies tailored to Montgomery County courts.

Yes. Without an estate plan, Montgomery County probate law distributes your assets according to state intestacy laws—not your wishes . You’ll have no say in who manages your assets, who cares for minor children, or who makes medical decisions if incapacitated.
A will is executed after death and goes through probate (court process). A trust takes effect during your lifetime, avoids probate, provides privacy, and allows seamless asset transfer to heirs. Many people use both for comprehensive protection.
Review and update every 3-5 years or after major life events (marriage, children, significant asset changes, moves, health changes). We help ensure your plan stays current and reflects your wishes.
Probate is the court process validating your will and distributing assets. It’s slow and public. You can avoid it with a revocable living trust, which transfers assets outside probate directly to heirs. We create comprehensive plans tailored to your circumstances.
