I focus on custody litigation, family law, criminal defense, probate law and civil appeals.
Always believe that you're being recorded by your opponent. Never do, say or write anything you would not want a judge to see, hear or read. Remember that most judges, lawyers and decision makers will soon be female. So your actions as a man will be misinterpreted, misunderstood and judged from the feminine point of view. Dad's definitely require our own playbook to win in family court.
Last, remember these 3 rules for litigation:
1. silence is your greatest power;
2. never engage crazy; and
3. cooperation wins with judges and all authority-- salute, stay in line, march forward and break free only when it's safe to do so.

This week was the end of a long four years divorce and custody battle. I want to show appreciation to the lawyer Scott Boates and his team Jennifer LaPoma Fraker . They went to battle for me with a system that does not favor fathers. I'm happy to say that I'm one of 33% of fathers winning there custody in Texas due to there skill in court. Scott Boates and Jennifer LaPoma Fraker went against a 9 women 3 men jury trial and the final bench trial. I could never have done this without this two. If you're a father out there looking for someone to stick up for your rights. These are the two people to find. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

He did not follow through with my family case. He forgot to inform me that one of my court settings was reset. I wasted my money on him. I could've and should have just filed through the Attorney General.

The Boates Lawfirm was able to finally get me the money I was owed for child support. He was informative at every step of the way. I have never had such a witty and professional, quick minded lawyer. A firm that I would even call a friend.
