    Sometimes, life comes at you fast. I had never been in trouble before and felt very scared and lost following my run in with law enforcement. As soon as I got back home, I started looking for lawyers but had no clue what I was doing or who to trust. Upon recommendation from a family friend, I contacted Guest & Gray and within days, we had the process started and had setup a consultation call with Robert. During that call, Robert really showed me how personable, knowledgeable, and experienced he and the rest of his team are. He helped ease my mind over my situation by speaking to me like a normal person and answering any questions I had about the criminal court process and what we could do to ensure the best outcome for the case. We figured out a game plan that same day and I was very convinced that I was in great hands with this law firm. During the 5 months that we had to wait for my court date, both Robert and Elda did an excellent job emailing me back to answer any questions or anxieties I might’ve had regarding my case or how the system in general works. In the weeks leading up to the court date my attorney, Brandon Schwarzentraub, also did a wonderful job helping me feel comfortable, prepared, and confident that everything would turn out well. And it did. Brandon was able to get me a conditional dismissal on my case and half a year of worry and uncertainty is now over. I highly recommend this law firm to anybody that finds themselves in a situation with the law. They will take care of you and guide you through everything. Their payment plan system was also extremely helpful to me, especially in this economy. Thank y’all for doing such a great job and for representing me through this.

    We engaged Guest & Gray for a very complex property rights matter, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Our attorney, Brandon, was extremely knowledgeable and always available—no question felt too small or inconvenient. The paralegal and firm administrator, Gail, was exceptional: she made sure every question was answered, handled the intricate scheduling flawlessly, and kept everything moving smoothly. Their billing was very clear and transparent—no surprises. As someone based in California who frequently travels all over the globe, I was especially impressed by how seamlessly they accommodated my needs while I was in Europe for three weeks. Despite the time zone differences and distance, they remained responsive, proactive, and trustworthy. The entire team at Guest & Gray was phenomenal in professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise. We’re already planning to entrust them with our next legal matter and can’t recommend them highly enough.

    Paternity & Parental Rights

    Being a legal father is what makes visitation, making decisions, and giving money possible. If you are an unmarried parent in Plano, the first thing you need to do to protect your legal parental rights is to prove that you are the child’s father. Our lawyers help fathers make their relationship with their children official through the Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP) or court-ordered DNA testing. On the other hand, we help mothers get the legal recognition they need to give their kids a stable future. We make sure that your voice is heard in court by bridging the gap between biological reality and legal protection.

Our Plano team takes care of the complicated background checks and termination of parental rights that Texas law requires for stepparent adoptions and private placements. We also help families get legal guardianship for adults who can’t take care of themselves or kids who need someone to look out for them.

    Grandparents’ Rights

    In Texas, grandparents have a hard time getting visitation or custody because the law strongly favors parents’ choices. But when a child’s safety is in danger or the family dynamic changes, the bond with a grandparent can be a very important lifeline. Our Plano lawyers are experts at working with the Texas Family Code to help grandparents get “access” or conservatorship. We know how hard these cases are on your heart, and we do everything we can to protect the special and important bond you have with your grandchildren.

    Mediation & Alternative Dispute Resolution

    Not every family fight needs to go to court. Mediation is a private, less confrontational way to settle custody and asset division issues without the stress of a public trial. At Guest & Gray, we help clients in Plano by acting as both mediators and advocates, coming up with creative solutions that a judge might not offer. This way of working together often saves time and money while keeping co-parenting relationships strong. We help you stay in charge of your outcome by using strategic negotiation and other ways to settle disputes.

    Military & Specialized Family Law

We are very good at dealing with the overlap between federal military rules and Texas community property laws.
