Disability Rights Texas (disabilityrightstx.org) – Disability Rights Texas (formerly Advocacy Inc.) is the federal agency for the legal protection and defense of people with disabilities in Texas. Its mission is to help persons with disabilities understand and exercise their rights under the law and ensure their full and equal participation in society. Texas State Bar (texasbar.com) – The Texas State Bar is an administrative agency of the Texas Supreme Court that provides educational programs for the legal profession and the public, administers the minimum legal education program for lawyers, and administers the disciplinary system for lawyers. The America Family Law Center`s trained lawyers and legal advisors work with our clients to resolve their case or situation with the best possible outcome. Many situations can be resolved without a contentious legal case. Most family law cases are resolved through mediation, agreement or default – only a few require a controversial court case to resolve. External counsel are usually available for an additional fee in cases where a controversial hearing is required. The America Family Law Center does not prohibit or discourage its clients from hiring an attorney to represent them in their case, but such an undertaking would be made by and between the client and the attorney and would be completely separate and separate from the client services of the America Family Law Center. If you observe something that you believe is inappropriate solicitation or barratry, please obtain the name and phone number of the person contacting you and report it to your local law enforcement agency or the Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel, Texas State Bar at toll-free 866-224-5999.

The Texas State Bar reminds the public that in many cases in Texas, it is a crime for an attorney or a person representing an attorney to contact a person for legal representation if the person has not first requested the call or personal visit. The contact is not illegal if the lawyer does not require payment or already has professional or family relations with the person contacted.
