Client's Testimonial

Great experience. Friendly and willing to help which is rare these days. I was skeptical because it seems rare that anyone wants to help a man with custody matters but Teresa went above and beyond with my situation. She seemed to know family law and now my child and I are happy. I couldn’t have found a better Lawyer. Thank you

Taye Whizzo

Bryan Fagan is clearly one of the BEST family lawyers in Texas. If you are going through a divorce in Texas involving an ex that is highly manipulative and preventing you from seeing your child … Attorney Bryan Fagan is what you need. ***** He is one of the top family lawyers in the state that protects the “rights of children to see both of their loved parents! Don’t make the mistake of trusting an average lawyer – when you are dealing with a difficult narcissist spouse! You need Bryan Fagan. He is highly qualified in preventing “Parental Alienation”
