Family, Criminal, Injury & Business Attorney Serving Garland, TX

Garland is an older, working city in a metro area that often forgets it has any. Manufacturing and distribution still employ a great many residents, the neighborhoods are established rather than newly built, and families have frequently been in the same house for decades. The legal problems reflect that.

A meaningful share of the injury work we do for Garland clients involves people hurt on the job — and Texas is unusual in allowing employers to opt out of the workers' compensation system entirely. When a non-subscriber employer's negligence injures someone, that claim runs through the civil courts, and it is a different case from a standard comp claim in ways that matter. We also handle the vehicle collisions that come off I-635, the Bush Turnpike and Garland Road, criminal charges filed in Dallas County, and the family matters that come with long-established households: divorce after a long marriage, custody modifications, and grandparents seeking access.

Estate work is steady here too, often for families who own a home outright and want to make sure it passes cleanly to the next generation without an expensive heirship proceeding. Herrera Bautista PC offers a free consultation in English or Spanish.
