Law Office of Geri R. Wyatt

The Law Office of Geri R. Wyatt offers affordable, comprehensive legal services that reflect both professional expertise and personal understanding of family dynamics. Led by Geri R. Wyatt, an attorney with 14 years of family law experience and an exceptional personal background, the firm brings a unique perspective to family law practice that combines legal skill with genuine empathy for families navigating life transitions.

Geri received her Juris Doctor from Texas Wesleyan School of Law (now Texas A&M School of Law) in 2010 and has been licensed to practice in Texas since that time. Her educational foundation is remarkably broad: she holds a Master of Science in Family Relations and Human Development from the University of North Texas and a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, also from the University of North Texas. This multifaceted educational background reflects Geri's deep interest in understanding families, relationships, and the challenges families face. Her admission to practice before the United States Supreme Court in 2014 reflects her standing as a lawyer of exceptional capability and character.

What makes Geri particularly effective in family law practice is her personal background. Before becoming an attorney, Geri spent 17 years as a foster parent, caring for more than 75 children and adopting five of them into her family. This experience provides profound insight into the challenges facing families, the importance of protecting children's interests, and the complexities of family relationships. When Geri works with clients on custody, adoption, and family law matters, she brings not just legal knowledge but lived understanding of what families face. Her clients benefit from an attorney who has personally experienced the challenges of building and maintaining family bonds.

The Law Office of Geri R. Wyatt provides comprehensive legal services in family law and estate planning, all offered at affordable rates. Geri understands that family law matters often arise during financial stress, and she structures her practice to make quality legal representation accessible. Rather than offering a premium practice with premium prices, Geri focuses on providing excellent service at reasonable cost.

The firm's family law practice encompasses virtually every aspect of divorce and family law. Geri handles adoption, child custody, child support, fathers' rights, mothers' rights, guardianship and conservatorship, paternity matters, prenuptial and marital agreements, restraining orders, and both same-sex and traditional family law matters. She offers collaborative law for couples seeking to resolve disputes cooperatively, contested divorce for those requiring litigation, military divorce for service members and spouses, and property division counsel. For clients who can reach agreement, she handles uncontested divorces efficiently and affordably.

Geri's estate planning services complement her family law practice, recognizing that planning for one's family extends beyond divorce to include protection of assets, planning for incapacity, and ensuring that one's wishes are clearly documented. She provides wills, trusts, powers of attorney, Lady Bird Deeds, guardianship planning, special needs planning, and Medicaid planning to ensure that clients can protect their families and assets for the long term.

The firm's practice philosophy emphasizes personalized service that meets each client and family's individual needs and goals. Geri offers video consultations and flexible appointment scheduling, recognizing that clients often have busy lives and transportation challenges. This accessibility ensures that clients can access legal services on terms that work for their circumstances.
