Divorce and Child Custody

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.

Letter a rallying cry to oust embattled district judge Posted on November 4, 2013 | By Kiah Collier A letter sent to hundreds of Houston-area lawyers on Monday asks them to support a call to oust an embattled state district court judge by signing a petition, withholding election endorsements and contributions and reporting any criminal wrongdoing to the Harris County District Attorney’s office. Family Court Judge Denise Pratt of the 311th District has come under fire for altering court records to mask tardy rulings, as well as a host of other doings that many lawyers have described in interviews as not criminal but highly unusual, unprofessional or unethical, including rampant absenteeism and communicating with lawyers on one side of a case without the other side knowing. Pratt, a Republican judge first elected in 2010, did ... Read More >

Trey Apffel Elected State Bar President!

Trey Apffel of League City won the run-off to be the State Bar of Texas President-Elect.  It is awesome to see such a good thing happen to one of the planet's truly fine human beings (and a great attorney).  Trey was in the middle of a medical malpractice jury trial in County Court No. 3 when Judge Dupuy was indicted and arrested.  The judge called the lawyers to the bench right after lunch and indicated he had to be gone that afternoon and might not be able to go forward the next day.  Sure enough, the judge had some other business to attend to and a mis-trial was declared. ...
