Our firm handles criminal cases for people who have been charged with criminal offenses ranging from Class C Misdemeanors up to first degree felonies. Whether you have received a traffic citation which you want to attempt to keep off your driving record or whether you have been arrested for a DWI or any other criminal offense, please contact our firm so that we can schedule a consultation for you as soon as possible.
For DWI cases, there are certain deadlines that are important to recognize. For instance, if you refuse a blood test or breath test offered by law enforcement after you have been arrested, your driver’s license will be suspended by the Texas Department of Public Safety on the 40th day following the date of your arrest unless you request a license suspension hearing within 15 days from the date of the arrest. If you consent to a breath test or blood test and are found to be over the legal limit of 0.08 with regard to blood alcohol concentration, then your license may also be suspended. However, you do have the right to request a driver’s license suspension hearing, generally within 15 days of the date of the arrest. Please contact our firm immediately if you find yourself in this situation. We can also assist you in obtaining an Essential Needs License even if your driver’s license has been suspended.
On other criminal matters, misdemeanors or felonies, it is important to meet with an attorney as soon as possible so that important details about the case can be discussed before too much time passes. Please do not hesitate to contact our firm as soon as possible so that these issues can be addressed.
Whether you are contemplating filing for divorce or need an attorney if your spouse has already filed for divorce, please contact The Todaro Law Firm. We can represent you during this difficult time and make sure that property issues are addressed as well as parent-child relationship issues. Also, we can request a temporary hearing to move your case along so that court orders can be put in place before a divorce is finalized. Generally, there is a 60-day waiting period before a divorce can be finalized in the State of Texas, so you might need temporary orders to be entered while your case is pending. Temporary Orders can be ordered by the Court with regard to property, debt and parent-child relationship matters.
Even if you are not married, you may still need legal assistance with regard to parent-child relationship issues, such as child custody and child support. You may also need to modify existing court orders with regard to the parent-child relationship or you may need assistance in defending a modification suit brought by the other parent. Emergency or temporary hearings can be requested depending on the circumstances in which you find yourself.
We also handle adoptions and the termination of the parent-child relationship. Whether you are a stepparent and would like to adopt your spouse’s child or anyone else that may have standing to adopt a child, we might be able to assist you. Before you can move forward on an adoption, you must seek to terminate the parent-child relationship in a legal proceeding before a court. Please contact us to discuss your options.
