Client access to case documents and information

Traditional Client Representation

If you and your spouse cannot come to an agreement at the mediation, you’ll have no other choice but to go before a judge and a jury. But before you decide to go trial, you need to know a few facts.

If your case goes to a trial, it can be heard by a judge or a jury and if your case involves child custody issues, Texas is unique in that it is the only state in the country that allows a jury to decide child custody. So if your case goes to trial, you are putting your case in the hands of someone else whose decisions could leave you feeling like the outcome wasn’t in anyone’s best interest. Trials before a judge and jury can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Taking your case to trial requires a lot of preparation and it is expensive.

For all these reasons, your attorney will work hard to settle your case but if the other side is immovable, sometimes there is no choice. And if it comes to that point, remember that the most important aspect of a successful trial is being very prepared.
