Briar Wilcox Law Firm PLLC

Briar Wilcox Law Firm PLLC represents specialized expertise in family law in the Amarillo and Texas Panhandle region. Founder and sole attorney Briar Lee Wilcox established her practice in 2005 and has since built a reputation as one of the region's premier family law specialists. Located at 7450 Golden Pond Place, Suite 400 in Amarillo, the firm serves families throughout the Texas Panhandle including Potter, Randall, Armstrong, and surrounding counties. Briar's distinction as a Board Certified Family Law specialist sets her apart in the Texas legal market. Board certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization is not automatically granted to all attorneys—it requires meeting stringent requirements, passing rigorous examination, and demonstrating through peer evaluation and client satisfaction that the attorney has achieved advanced competency in family law. This certification signals that Briar has committed to mastering family law and dedicating her practice to excellence in this specialized area. Briar's educational background—a Juris Doctor from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School earned in 2004—prepared her for the specialized family law practice she has maintained since 2005. Over nearly 20 years, she has developed deep expertise in Texas family law and particular knowledge of the Panhandle region. What particularly characterizes Briar's practice is the combination of family law specialization with willingness to handle complex matters. Child Protective Services (CPS) cases are more complex and emotionally charged than typical divorces. These cases often involve state agencies, difficult family circumstances, and profound implications for children's futures. Briar's willingness to take these cases and her expertise in handling them signals broad family law capabilities. High-net-worth divorces require specialized understanding of property division, business valuation, and protection of substantial marital assets. Briar's experience with these matters means she can guide clients through divorces involving significant financial stakes with appropriate sophistication. In divorce matters, Briar brings both Board Certification and practical experience. Contested divorces receive careful preparation and skilled advocacy. She understands that contested divorces require meticulous case development, thorough discovery, and effective courtroom advocacy. Simultaneously, she recognizes that divorces occur in the context of real families and real lives. Uncontested divorces move efficiently while ensuring clients receive fair treatment under Texas law. Many couples can reach agreement on key issues but need legal guidance to ensure proper documentation. Briar helps these clients move forward. Child custody matters receive specialized attention. Briar understands that custody arrangements affect not just current living situations but parents' ongoing relationships with their children and children's wellbeing for years to come. She approaches custody work with both legal precision and genuine concern. Child support calculations benefit from careful analysis of income documentation. Briar ensures that support calculations reflect each family's actual financial circumstances. Property division in divorce can be highly complex in marriages involving substantial assets or retirement accounts. Briar's experience ensures that community property is properly identified and fairly divided. Adoptions and modification cases round out the practice. Adoptions often carry profound personal significance and require both legal precision and sensitivity. Modification cases require careful attention to changed circumstances. Clients appreciate working with Briar because of her Board Certification in Family Law, her genuine commitment to family law excellence, and her comprehensive approach. The Board Certification signals advanced expertise. The willingness to handle complex matters demonstrates confidence and broad capabilities. Briar has established herself as a trusted resource through over 19 years of consistent service and genuine commitment to families' wellbeing. Her leadership role in the Panhandle Family Law Association reflects her engagement with the professional community. The firm's convenient Amarillo location with phone consultation options makes legal services accessible to Panhandle families. Briar's welcoming approach, her Board Certification, and her demonstrated expertise make her an ideal choice for families navigating divorce and family law matters in the Texas Panhandle.
