Was a Jury Verdict in a Million Dollar Child Custody Case Tossed Out Because of Politics?

I am a divorce lawyer now, but once I was a young father battling for custody of my two children.  I still can feel the worry and dread such a court case creates.  It seems to the parents that everything important to them in the universe is at stake.  Parents in such situations feel helpless because so much rides on the lawyers and the judge and jury.  No matter who "wins" or loses in a child custody case, both parents should at least leave the courthouse feeling they were treated fairly and that neither side had some sort of inside connection or political advantage.  Lawyers and judges who allow it to appear that political clout is influencing a case are damaging the integrity and stability of the justice system we all work and believe in.  I have spent many hours on this story and I have tried to be as accurate and fair as possible.  I will publish any responses from those involved if they feel their side of the story needs to be told differently than what I have written.

Judge Julia Maldonado: Words Matter, Not Money

I was prepared to write the headline, "Houston, We Have a Problem" during the second week of newly elected Judge Julia Maldonado's term, but I truly think things have turned around in the 507th.  I am ready and willing to criticize a Democratic judge if the facts warrant, but I am starting to be impressed by what I am seeing. Judge Julia Maldonado cannot raise campaign funds for a while as she is not up for re-election until 2020. Usually, once a lawyer is elected judge, attorneys swarm to contribute money after the fact. However, Maldonado’s post-election fund-raising was surprisingly anemic, despite the fact that a large number of family law attorneys are progressive and really Democrats. Maldonado had to stop raising funds on March 8 and I think that some of the unusual and concerning procedures she initially adopted upon taking office discouraged many lawyers and dampened financial support for her. Currently, the 507th is not, thank goodness, requiring the filing of sworn ... Read More >

It is Not Too Late To Buy Judge Franklin (a wedding gift)

There is still time to buy a wedding gift for Judge Alicia Franklin before her April 4 wedding.  Whether you are motivated out of friendship or more practical purposes, Franklin made it very easy for you to buy her a gift on-line.  Until Tuesday, anyone on the planet was able to see her Honeymoon Pixie site and quickly order her gifts for her honeymoon.  Suddenly, after a very critical article was posted on the Republican blog Big Jolly about this unseemly situation, the links disappeared.  Then, the site required a password then within hours the public could again see the couple's gift wish list and buy them gifts.  Try clicking this link to possibly see it for yourself.  A Google search for "Alicia Franklin Doug York" pulls up this gift registry website and several others.  Here is part of what you were able to see until this week about the Franklin - York wedding: Judge Franklin and Mr. York are also registered on a variety of sites for gifts, including The Knot and ...

The “No Shame, No Consequences” Power Trip

Reprinted from the October 23, 2014 Mongoose newsletter. Attorney Doug York is taking  cases in the court where his fiance, Judge Alicia Franklin, presides.  If you want a case out of the 311th, York is the attorney to hire.  Both York and Franklin should have enough sense and ethics to realize that York should simply not accept cases that are already pending in the 311th, especially those cases where Franklin has already heard something or where there is already a hearing set.  Franklin should not automatically recuse herself in cases where York allows himself to be hired knowing the case is in his wife-to-be's court. In Cause No. 2004-02532, Sheikh v Sheikh, a final divorce decree was entered in the 311th in March 2005.  The ex-wife's attorney, Scott Boyd requested a writ of execution on July 18, 2014 to try to collect on the 2005 divorce judgment.  In September 2014, a Fort Bend Constable seized a house belonging to the ex-husband worth about $152,000. The ex-husband hired a ... Read More >
