Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions,
Answered Honestly

Our founder, Stephanie Proffitt, is board-certified in both family law and child welfare law — a dual certification held by very few attorneys in Texas. Combined with more than 20 years of experience and a full-service team, we bring both specialized expertise and genuine personal commitment to every client we represent.
Yes, completely. We offer a complimentary one-hour consultation so you can share your situation, understand your legal options, and decide whether we're the right fit — with no cost and no pressure.
We handle the full spectrum of family law matters: divorce, mediation, post-divorce modifications, adoption, termination of parental rights, child welfare defense, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, powers of attorney, and wills.
In many cases, yes. Life circumstances change, and Texas law allows for modifications to custody, visitation, and support arrangements when there has been a material change. We help clients navigate that process effectively.
Mediation is a structured, out-of-court process where both parties work toward mutually agreeable terms with guidance from a neutral mediator. It can be faster, less costly, and far less adversarial than litigation — we recommend exploring it whenever it is a viable path for your family.
These cases demand immediate, experienced representation. We specialize in child welfare defense and fight hard to protect parental rights and reunite families. Contact us as soon as possible — time matters in these situations.
Yes. We are experienced navigating both the foster care system and private adoption agencies, and we can guide you through every legal step of the process from start to finish.
Our office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. You can reach us by phone at (713) 224-3400, or schedule your free one-hour consultation online at any time.
