PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not expect me to personally reply to posts!

If you post a reply to this blog -- I cannot reply to you! 



Therefore, do not expect a reply if you post a question to my blogs!



Blogger does not have anyway for me to reply to you!  Additionally, I do not want to answer your personal questions in this open forum. (I'm sure that you do not want me to do this either -- if you think about it. Plus, most of you do not give me enough information for me to even attempt to answer questions!)



Also, if you read my blogs, I am no longer offering free consultations or litigating family law cases.  My practice is now 100% mediation based.



If you want an attorney for litigation or any area of family law -- this includes name changes, please contact PATRICIA BUSHMAN at 713-807-9405 or ROSE CARDENAS.



The voice mail on my office phone clearly states that I am not accepting litigated cases.  I'm trying to return all telephone calls.  However, often people's voice mail messages are not clear and I'm unable to return their telephone calls.  If I'm unable to understand a person's voice mail message then I cannot return a telephone call.  I do attempt to return all telephone calls within 48 hours IF I can understand the message.  Many times all I receive is a "garbled" message -- I'm sure that you think that you leave a perfectly clear message but your "background" noise (kids, music, wind noise) totally blocks your voice out. 



I've asked my web guy to revise my website to reflect the change in my practice.  Unfortuantely, he's not made the changes I've asked.  Hopefully, he will get it done soon. 



If you don't want to use Pat or Rose -- I recommend looking on http://www.lawguru.com/ or http://www.avvo.com/  -- ignore avvo.com's rating system -- it can be manipulated -- many good lawyers don't "claim" their listing or keep their listing updated so their points drop.



If you need a pro bono aka "free" lawyer then call HOUSTON VOLUNTEER LAWYERS at 713-228-0732.  However, you need to be prepared for a long wait since they have overwhelmed by requests for help & they don't have enough volunteer attorneys.
