Lubbock Family Law Lawyer
Overview
Something I Love About Lubbock...
The people, trite as it sounds, the people make living in Lubbock special. Whether we are talking about the other attorneys, the courts, or the clients, this area in Lubbock is the best place to practice law and to raise a family.
What I love about being a Lawyer...
Providing a voice for marginalized clients that might not have had their day in Court. I am ultimately most proud of growing a law firm that employs and empowers other women in the field of law to reach beyond what they thought was possible for themselves and in their careers.
Favorite Quote...
"It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul." From "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley
If I Weren't a Lawyer, I would be...

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
