Practice Areas Description

Goranson, Bain, Larsen, Greenwald, Maultsby & Murphy, PLLC offers legal services on the following areas of practice:

- Family Law

All too often, the complexities involved in family law matters have less to do with the law than ironing out the conflicts. Our firm offers a compassionate approach tempered with judgment to keep conversations from overheating. Our experience in and outside of the courtroom helps us craft solutions in your best interest with minimal conflict. At GoransonBain, we practice exclusively in family law. Since 1987, our firm's Dallas and Plano area family law attorneys have offered a reasoned approach to help families deal with a variety of high-pressure situation.

- Divorce

Since 1987, GoransonBain has handled high-asset divorces in the Dallas area. Our success stems from our ability to understand our clients' unique needs and concerns. We also seek to foster a constructive environment focused on achieving amicable solutions without adding fuel to the fire.

- Child Custody

Our firm's lawyers have earned a reputation for providing compassionate, skillful representation that focuses on our clients' goals, while minimizing the impact of a divorce on a child. Recently, we were named as the "Best Family Law Firm in the State of Texas" by Best Lawyers in America.

- Collaborative Family Law

Under Texas law, parties entering into divorce are encouraged to reach an agreement through negotiation. Even in complex marital property and child custody cases, collaborative family law is often an effective way to resolve marriage dissolution issues outside of the courtroom and minimize cost. Our firm's Dallas collaborative family law attorneys were among the first lawyers in Texas to take advantage of the collaborative law process.

- Premarital & Post-marital Agreements

Premarital agreements, also commonly known as prenuptial agreements (or prenups) are becoming more common as couples re-marry, or marry later in life. Prenuptial agreements can be structured to alter Texas community property law and provide a predictable result in the event of divorce. We have drafted numerous premarital and post-nuptial agreements.

- Complex Property Division

Dividing marital assets is often the most complicated aspect of the divorce process. Marital property may include pension and retirement funds, closely held businesses, real estate and deferred compensation plans. At GoransonBain, we offer extensive experience handling property division in high-asset divorces. We have the financial acumen and experience to make sure your interests are protected. No estate is too large or complex for our legal professionals.

- Child Support

Even when both parents recognize the importance of child support, determining an appropriate amount often creates disputes. Since 1987, GoransonBain has offered high caliber legal services to clients entitled to child support and those who pay child support. We draw on our firm's extensive background in and out of the courtroom to craft effective solutions based on your children's best interests.

- Spousal Maintenance

At GoransonBain, we understand you have a lot at stake in a divorce. The threat of losing your financial position from a divorce can quickly cause emotions to spiral out of control. Our firm's lawyers seek to alleviate anxieties without adding fuel to the fire.

- Post Judgment Modifications

Child custody agreements and child support settlements are not written in stone. The courts in Texas recognize that circumstances change in people's lives. If you are paying child support and can no longer meet your legal obligations or the amount of support you receive is insufficient, options may be available to modify your original divorce agreement.

- Adoptions

Adopting a child is an emotionally rewarding experience for any family. In Texas, adoption grants the adopted child all of the legal rights and privileges of a child born naturally to a biological parent. We have helped many stepparents, grandparents, couples, and individuals adopt children.
