This week has been for the books. Monday was full of calls, consultations, and document prep, Tuesday was court hearings and an annual wellness exam, Wednesday was criminal court with 7 clients and then an all day family law hearing - where we basically prevailed (one rarely gets everything they want!), and today was criminal court again with 5 clients. It’s been a marathon week and we haven’t reached Friday yet!

Update: Today I was notified that the remaining two siblings would be placed with their other four siblings. These children will continue to heal together. Thank goodness for amazing foster and adoptive families who choose to bring children into their homes, even homes that are already “filled with children” but are not “full”!

Today was one of those days of highs and lows. What started out as a day where a client let my Assistant and I both know that they were displeased with the result of a case, I then drove to Brazos County to represent children in a motion hearing that would likely change the course of their future. I do not take my role lightly as an ad litem attorney for children, hearing such as this caused me a lot of personal conflict, as I want to make sure that everyone’s motive is only the best interest of the children. The facts won this case. I was merely the voice for the children and hopefully the voice of common sense and reason. The judge had what is a difficult decision to make, but he ruled in our favor. Due to Privacy reasons I won’t say much more, other than children deserve to be raised with their siblings if at all possible. Children whose parents‘ rights have been terminated, have already lost so much of their familial connections that any time it is possible for them to be adopted with their siblings, that option needs to be thoroughly investigated. When the judge read his ruling today, I ended up in tears. Happy tears.

I love talking to everyone. I would sit and chat with all of my clients on a daily basis if I had the luxury of more time. Unfortunately, my schedule is tight. Therefore our office policy on phone calls is as follows:
Phone calls - My staff is amazing and is ready to help you! Due to court, meetings, consultations, and other commitments, I personally am not available to take phone calls on a daily basis. I, however, generally work 8am until 5:30 pm daily somewhere, and then I take home a stack of files and laptop and work until after midnight on a daily basis, including most weekends. Sometimes I will return calls evenings and weekends or text clients later in the evening. For the most part, my staff handles phone calls and I respond by email. This is what works best for my office. When a client demands a phone call, I will call but often it is not productive as it becomes a conversation that centers around “why am I hard to get on the phone”. This is not productive. If you have a question or concern on your case, please email me at [email protected]. I respond to my current clients as soon as possible. If you are seeking legal advice on a new matter, please expect to hear from my assistant. If your matter is urgent, call my office and speak with my assistant. If you get voicemail, you may leave a message OR just hang up and call back. You may also text us at 254-274-6540 for assistance. If you do not get a timely response, there may be a technical difficulty (Internet, phones, computers, power, other IT issues, database issues, or we may be tied up with a case/client matter such as a will signing). Please give us a little grace but also reach out again. It is possible a message could get missed. We are here to help but we are human.
