Your Legal Questions Answered
FAQs About Our Munger Place Legal Services
Find answers to common questions across our three practice areas.
In Munger Place and Harris County, Texas divorces require a mandatory 60-day waiting period from filing. Most uncontested divorces are finalized in 3-6 months, while contested cases involving custody or property disputes can take 6-12+ months depending on court schedules and complexity. The Law Office of Bryan Fagan will guide you through every step and advocate for the fastest, most favorable resolution.
Harris County courts consider the child’s best interest, including: each parent’s relationship with the child, the child’s needs and preferences (if old enough), stability and safety, health and education, and the ability of each parent to care for the child. We present the strongest case for your situation and advocate for custody arrangements that protect your children’s best interests.
In Harris County, child support is calculated using a percentage-based guideline: 1 child = 20% of net income, 2 children = 25%, 3 children = 30%, 4 children = 35%, and up to 5 children = 40% of the paying parent’s net monthly income. Harris County courts may deviate from these guidelines based on factors such as custody arrangements, special needs, health insurance costs, and daycare expenses. We ensure accurate calculations and fair agreements.
Yes, if there’s been a material and substantial change in circumstances—such as a 10% income change, job loss, custody change, or significant life event. The Law Office of Bryan Fagan helps you file and enforce modifications to ensure your family’s changing needs are addressed.
If arrested, exercise your right to remain silent and do not consent to searches. Immediately request legal representation. Contact the Law Office of Bryan Fagan at (281) 555-0100 for 24/7 emergency criminal defense. We will protect your constitutional rights from arrest through trial, challenge evidence, and fight for the best outcome in Harris County courts.
Yes. DWI charges in Harris County can be reduced or dismissed based on multiple factors: breathalyzer accuracy and calibration, blood test procedures and chain of custody, traffic stop legality and probable cause, field sobriety test validity, and officer training and protocol. We challenge evidence aggressively and have successfully defended thousands of DWI cases across Harris County and Southeast Texas. Many cases result in dismissals or significant reductions.
You have the right to remain silent, the right to counsel, and the right to refuse searches without a warrant. You do not have to answer questions beyond providing your driver’s license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. Say clearly, “I do not consent to a search” and “I want to speak to an attorney.” Anything you say can and will be used against you, so remain silent and wait for legal representation.
Yes. In Texas, an estate plan is essential to protect your family and assets. Without a will or trust, Texas intestacy law controls distribution of your estate, which may not align with your wishes. Your estate will go through probate—a costly, lengthy, public process. The Law Office of Bryan Fagan creates comprehensive estate plans for Munger Place residents, protecting wealth, minimizing taxes, and ensuring your legacy.
A will goes through probate (public, lengthy, costly). A trust avoids probate, remains private, and manages assets more flexibly during your life and after. Trusts are often more efficient for larger estates, blended families, and complex asset structures. We advise which strategy works best for your situation.
Powers of attorney and healthcare directives ensure your wishes are respected if you become unable to make decisions. A financial power of attorney authorizes someone to manage your finances. A healthcare power of attorney allows someone to make medical decisions. These documents are essential for every adult, not just the elderly.
