Firm Overview

O’Neil & Attorneys:  Family Law Firm in Dallas, Texas

Traditional Laws and New Circumstances

The circumstances surrounding families are constantly shifting due to rapid changes in political, economic, and cultural forces.  Families find themselves dealing with new circumstances under traditional laws.  It is impossible to apply stereotypes because every family is different.  Sometimes Texas family law offers little guidance or direction.  Experienced family law attorneys at O’Neil & Attorneys can help navigate these issues in the face of changing circumstances.

Family Law Attorneys at O’Neil & Attorneys Address Diverse Needs

At O’Neil & Attorneys, we understand the need for constant adaptation.  We focus our practice on family law, taking cases involving traditional family issues, as well as cases with special circumstances.

Traditional family law cases become more complex when new needs arise.  For example:

• For individuals with a small business at stake, property and debt division becomes more complex
• As more couples choose not to marry, defining the terms for joint property ownership and caring for children becomes more important
• For cohabiting couples, a non-marital cohabitation agreement can help partners decide together on expectations for the relationship that the Texas Family Code may only address for married couples
• Because Texas does not recognize gay marriage, couples who are legally married in another state face certain roadblocks in a same-sex divorce
• In a high-asset divorce, it is important to strike a balance between fair child support and protecting assets

At O’Neil & Attorneys, we handle these and other important family law cases.  We understand that, for our clients’ success, we need to treat each client and case with compassion, while working relentlessly to pursue their best interest.

Compassion is an important ingredient in the attorney-client relationship because divorce is difficult, children may be involved, money is at stake, and some relationships are not represented adequately under the law.  Relentlessness is also an important ingredient—for the same reasons.

Because we focus our practice on family law, we can work to provide the best possible outcome in your case.  Our experience equips us to handle a number of approaches, including courtroom trials, settlement negotiations, settlement appeals, or any combination of the same.  Visit our Family Law Overview page to find information about your particular situation.
