I do not have enough positive things to say about Randy Michel and his office. After my father passed away, I had no idea how to handle an estate or where to even begin. Randy and his staff guided me through the entire process with ease. They were not only kind and compassionate but very helpful and knowledgeable. It was never difficult to schedule a time to meet with Randy or get assistance from one of his paralegals. They were very communicative with me throughout the entire process. I am very glad I went with Randy and hope that many others do as well.
View on GoogleMy wife and I highly recommend Randy and his staff for estate planning and will preparation. He articulates the legalese in simple English being knowledgeable and professional. He listens carefully, makes excellent recommendations and follows through in a timely and cost conscious manner. He quoted a fixed price for this work, provided everything we needed, made all changes requested, never trying to add more fees for additional services. Hopefully we won't need an attorney again, but we would definitely use him if the occasion arose. We will recommend him to others and I'm sure they will be pleased.

View On GoogleDo I Need to Hire a Lawyer?
If you are facing serious matters and are questioning whether you need a lawyer, the answer is most certainly yes. The importance of hiring an attorney who specializes in that area of expertise cannot be understated. A lawyer can help you navigate the complexities involved in resolving a legal conflict: now and in the future. Our attorneys can provide clients with the information and resources necessary to resolve the situation in a professional and thoughtful manner.
Divorce
In Texas, state law allows for a no-fault divorce. This means no evidence of fault needs to be provided for either party to file for divorce.
As community property state, all property acquired during the marriage is equally owned by both spouses. In the event of a divorce, this property is equally divided. That being said, Texas courts provide a division of property with regards to the rights of the spouse and children of the marriage. This means that property in a divorce can be separated if it was acquired before the marriage, was a gift or inheritance of only one spouse, or was a recovery for a personal injury. Hiring a lawyer can help protect your property in a divorce, allowing you to secure what is rightfully yours.
Guardianship
A complex aspect of the law, Texas has two types of guardianship. Guardianship of an estate provides authority to a caregiver to manage an individual's assets. Guardianship of a person gives a caregiver the authority to care for an individual.
These two types of guardianship illustrate the importance of guardianship, especially when it comes to protecting an incapacitated adult or minor children. In the case of children, if one or both parents are deceased, there is an absentee parent, or the child suffers from physical or mental incapacitation, determining guardianship will likely require an attorney. There are several reasons an adult may need a guardian in order to help manage their estate and assets and to assist in taking care of dailiy living tasks and personal care.
