Practice Area Overview

Dallas County Divorce Lawyer

Child Support • Custody • Criminal Charges

In 30-plus years of practicing law in Texas, I have learned the most effective approach in almost any case, whether defending against criminal charges or advocating for more child support for my clients.

The Law Office of Fred C. McDaniel III is located in DeSoto, Texas, and provides broad knowledge and experience to clients throughout Dallas, Ellis, Tarrant and Denton Counties.

Divorce and Family Law Attorney
We provide effective advocacy for clients in the following areas:

• Adoption (private, stepparent and grandparent adoptions)
• Alimony (if there is a significant income disparity)
• Child Support (negotiating agreements, enforcement actions)
• Custody and Visitation Rights (co-parenting schedules, grandparent rights)
• Divorce (dissolution, legal separation, division of marital assets, support)
• Modifications to previous agreements (parents relocating out of state, increase or decrease in child support, new custody arrangements)
• Paternity (establishing or defending, DNA testing, child support and visitation)
• Termination of parental rights (related to intrafamily adoptions, or independent terminations related to abuse or abandonment)

We start by talking about what the problem is, and then advise clients about their options. We try to file cases quickly and move them along so that all parties can move on with their lives.

Criminal Defense Lawyer
We can represent you effectively against all misdemeanor and felony charges when you are charged with a crime in Dallas, Tarrant, Denton or Ellis County.

The Law Office of Fred C. McDaniel III has defended many clients against DWI charges. We can usually arrange for probation in lieu of jail time for a first offense (depending on circumstances), and we represent you in the driver’s license revocation hearing. It is important to contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.  We are also prepared to bring the case to trial.

We also defend people who are arrested or charged with unlawful possession of drugs (as in marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine), shoplifting theft, assault, burglary, robbery, forgery, weapons charges,sexual offenses and murder

We will vigorously defend your rights and work for the most beneficial outcome of your case. I am a former district attorney, so I can anticipate how the prosecutor may approach the charges against you and advise a course of action.

Wills and Probate Lawyer
I assist clients in drafting wills to designate the heirs of your estate and how your assets would be distributed upon your death. We also prepare living wills and powers of attorney so that family members can make financial and medical decisions for you if you are incapacitated for any reason.

To retain a professional, experienced attorney for your criminal defense, family law or probate needs, contact the Law Office of Fred C. McDaniel III today. Your $50 initial consultation fee will be applied toward our attorney fees if the office represents you in your case.
