Family Law

• Divorce
  Every case is different. It depends on what is in dispute, the needs of the parties, the needs of the children, the availability of the court, and the availability of witnesses. An average contested divorce or custody case can take 18 months.
• Child Support
  Typically, no. The only cases where you are entitled to a court-appointed attorney (assuming you meet the income requirements for one) are child protective services (CPS) cases, when your parental rights are being terminated, or when there is a possibility of jail time (i.e. for failure to pay child support).
• Child Custody and Visitation
  I am always skeptical when it comes to lawyers, but I’m glad I chose to go to The Carlson Law Firm. Cassandra Gibson made the whole process of modifying my child custody agreement as quick and painless as possible. Could not be happier. I highly recommend her.

• Premarital Agreement
  Family law is a general term used for cases that involve any aspect of divorce, annulment, custody (including emergency orders), protective orders, child support (including attorney general proceedings), child protective services (CPS), adoption, termination of parental rights, prenuptial agreements, post-marital partition and exchange agreements, domestic relations orders (DRO), and more.

Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  The Carlson Law Firm is committed to representing military members facing criminal charges, UCMJ violations, and other administrative penalties. A military criminal defense attorney from our firm can represent clients from all branches of the armed forces throughout Texas and across the nation.
• DUI/DWI
  An Article 15 or Captain’s Mast is a non-judicial punishment(NJP) determined by a commander or other superior officer in an informal proceeding. Article 15 offenses are generally not serious, such as a minor theft or DUI but you may still be at risk of an Administrative Separation or dishonorable discharge. Though you do not have the right to be represented by an attorney in an Article 15 or NJP proceeding, an experienced court-martial lawyer from the firm may be able to help you to determine a strategy to lessen the severity of any penalties that might be imposed, or help you make an informed decision of whether you should accept the punishment or demand trial by court-martial.
• Wrongful Death

If the product does not work as advertised and causes injury or wrongful death, our firm can provide assistance. We have substantial experience with product liability cases, which is the liability of distributors, suppliers, and manufacturers for defective products. When a consumer is unfortunate enough to be the user of a defective product, great danger could result. Liability can be proven with the assistance of one of our personal investigators. There is no other place you need to go to get the representation you deserve. We represent clients nationwide.
