Adoptions
Adoption is the happiest part of Family Law.
Bryan/College Station Lawyers Amy A. Banks and Philip C. Banks can help you add a child to your forever family through adoption in Texas.
Although adoption is a joyous occasion, the laws in Texas are very specific and complex and require a skilled attorney to help guide you through the process. We understand the laws regarding adoption and can help you avoid potential pitfalls and delays. Phil Banks and Amy Banks can guide new parents and families through the requirements and legal guidelines for all areas of adoption including:
- Step-parent adoption
- Adoption by single or unmarried persons
- Adoptions when working with adoption agencies
- Adoptions after a child has been removed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (CPS)
- Termination of parental rights prior to adoption
Child Custody
Child Custody suits are often the most contentious and combative in all litigation. There is nothing that brings out the worst side of people more than a child conservatorship case. There is no other civil litigation where the stakes are so high and the outcome is so important.
No one can ethically guarantee a particular result in any type of litigation. Our guarantee is that your case will be handled in a professional and confidential fashion with the goal of an outcome of what is best for the child or children.

Wills and Probate Litigation
Most people would agree that the government has too much control over our daily existence. If you want to be in charge of the way your estate is handled, you need a will. If you don't have a will, the State of Texas will write one for you. It may not be what you would choose for your property.
Probate litigation besides child custody, inter-family battles over estate questions are the most volatile area of civil litigation. We have been handling estate cases successfully for many years. We have experience with the following issues: will contests, contested guardianships, and executor/administrative issues have all been undertaken. Let us see if we can help you.
