The Benefits of Four Decades of Experience
In practice for 40 years, our founding attorney, James Patrick Smith, puts his trial experience as an attorney Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and significant legal and financial resources to work for Houston divorce and probate litigation clientele. Focused on meeting the demanding needs of clients with significant assets, properties and investments, James Patrick Smith has built a proven track record of meeting the needs of the most demanding family law and probate cases.
In divorce and probate litigation, there is not always such a thing as a second chance. You will usually get one opportunity to get things rights. That is why it is important to hire an attorney who is capable of helping you focus on the important issues, and not just on the emotion and stress you and your family face.
The needs of all clients are not the same, and some of the issues encountered in a complex divorce or probate litigation vary significantly. Our office addresses the complicated needs of clients who are concerned about:
- Divorce and property division of marital assets in a sizeable estate
- Protection of high asset estates during martial dissolution
- Enforcement or creation of complex prenuptial agreements
- Separate property claims for individual and community property
- Protection of sizable family estates through guardianships
- Significant probate litigation
