Your Legal Questions Answered

FAQs About Our South Boulevard/Park Row Legal Services

Find answers to common questions across our three practice areas.

Uncontested divorces take a minimum of 60–90 days due to Texas’s mandatory waiting period. Contested divorces involving custody, significant assets, or support disputes typically require 6–18 months depending on court scheduling and case complexity. Our team prioritizes efficiency while protecting your interests every step.
Dallas courts prioritize the child’s best interest, considering factors like parental stability, child’s preferences (depending on age), existing relationships, home environment, schools, and each parent’s ability to provide care. Courts recognize various custody arrangements including sole custody, joint custody, and modified possession orders tailored to family circumstances. Our experienced custody litigators advocate aggressively for arrangements protecting your parental rights.
Texas is a community property state where marital assets are divided fairly (not necessarily equally). Community property includes earnings, assets acquired during marriage, and debts incurred. Separate property (assets owned before marriage or inherited) typically remains separate. Complex divisions involving real estate, business interests, retirement accounts, and high-net-worth assets demand expert analysis. We protect your interests in every divorce matter.
Contact an attorney immediately before speaking to police. Do not discuss your case with anyone except your lawyer. Gather information about the traffic stop, field sobriety tests, and breathalyzer procedures. Document any medical conditions affecting your performance. Time is critical — evidence deteriorates quickly. Call (469) 972-8473 for a free consultation with Bryan Fagan’s DWI defense team.
Felony convictions carry serious consequences including prison time, substantial fines, permanent criminal records, loss of certain rights, and employment difficulties. A conviction also affects housing, professional licenses, and family law matters. Defense is critical. Our firm aggressively challenges evidence, files suppression motions, and negotiates favorable resolutions when possible.
Without proper planning, your assets face probate delays, unnecessary costs, and potential family disputes. Estate planning ensures your wishes are documented, taxes are minimized, and your family receives assets smoothly and efficiently. Whether you own real estate, operate a business, or have minor children, estate planning protects your legacy.
A will documents your wishes regarding asset distribution and guardian appointments but goes through probate (a public court process). A revocable living trust holds your assets, avoids probate, and provides privacy while allowing you to manage assets during your lifetime. Most South Boulevard families benefit from trust-based estate planning combined with backup wills.
