When a marriage or a family structure changes, the stakes rarely stop at emotions. They often include a business, an investment portfolio, real estate, or a legacy you have spent years building. Hicks Family Lawyers brings 27+ years of corporate law experience to family law matters across Texas, so the strategy behind your case matches the complexity of what you are protecting: strategy, perspective, and results that last. We are not just a divorce battle shop. We are your partner for what’s next.
Our team meets Houston-area families in person at our Midtown office, by video, and by phone, structuring each consultation around the complexity of the case rather than a one-size conversation.
Schedule a no-pressure consultation: call (346) 654-0577 or book a time online. We will start with a conversation about what you are protecting and what comes next.
Whatever brought you here, our team routes your case to the attorney and strategy built for it:
Houston (Downtown, Midtown, The Heights, Montrose, River Oaks, Memorial), West University Place, Bellaire, Katy, Cypress, Spring, Humble, Kingwood, Pasadena
Sugar Land
The Woodlands
Pearland
League City, Texas City, Galveston
If you are not sure whether we serve your area, call and ask. For Texas families outside the Greater Houston metro, we offer virtual consultations and can advise on how out-of-area matters are coordinated with local counsel where needed.
The first conversation isn’t a sales call. We start by listening to what happened, what is at stake, and what you actually need to walk away with. You will leave that conversation with a clearer picture of your options, not a pitch.
We build your case around what you’re actually protecting. Two divorces never look the same, especially once a business, a portfolio, or real estate is part of the picture. Our approach starts with what you have built and works backward to the strategy that protects it.
We’re built for cases that don’t fit a template. 27+ years of corporate law experience gives our team a real advantage when a case involves closely held businesses, executive compensation, or complex financial holdings. Most family law firms are not staffed for that kind of complexity. We are.
Negotiation first, not conflict for its own sake. We are problem solvers and skilled negotiators who look for the resolution that reduces conflict and protects your family’s future. That does not mean we back down when protection requires holding firm.
No outcome guarantees. Only preparation. Nobody can promise you a result. What we can promise is that you will be prepared, informed, and ready for whatever comes next in your case.

Reaching out to a family law firm is a significant step. Here is what happens when you contact us:
It depends on the type of case and Texas’s residency and venue requirements, which generally look to where you or your spouse live. Some counties, like Harris County, have dedicated Family District Courts; others assign family cases across several district courts. See the table above for the courts that commonly hear family law matters in your county, and we will confirm the specific venue for your case during your consultation.
Both. We meet with clients in person at our Midtown Houston office, and we also work by video and phone for clients who prefer it or who live outside the immediate metro area.
Texas requires a minimum 60-day waiting period after a divorce petition is filed before a judge can grant the final decree, subject to limited statutory exceptions such as cases involving family violence. Beyond that floor, timelines depend on the complexity of your case, whether it is contested, and your county’s court docket. We will give you a realistic estimate during your consultation.
Cost depends on the complexity of your case and what it involves. We will talk through fee structure and what to expect financially during your consultation.
Often, yes. Business ownership, equity, and executive compensation change how a case gets valued and negotiated. Our corporate law background is built specifically for this kind of case, and we will walk you through how it applies to yours during a consultation.
That is a completely normal place to start. Call us, describe what is going on, and we will help you figure out the right next step, even if that step is not hiring an attorney yet.
When your family or assets are on the line, Hicks Family Lawyers is your guide for the next chapter. We know Houston’s courts, and our family law attorneys know how to structure a case around a business, a portfolio, or a property. From our office, in person or by video, we will walk you through what comes next before you commit to anything.
Call (346) 654-0577 or schedule a consultation online today. We will match you with the attorney best suited for your specific county and unique case goals.
