An Attorney That Truly Understands
The Needs of The Client
When you hire a lawyer, you want someone that is highly knowledgeable in the area of law that you need assistance with. Most people only deal with the court system once or twice in their lives, and it can be an overwhelming and confusing process. When you work with our team, you can be confident that you have an experienced Houston lawyer on your side.
Eaton Family Law was founded by Travis Eaton, MBA. Travis was born and raised in Houston and is dedicated to serving this community. As a result, Eaton Family Law has deep roots in the Houston area. We understand the impacts of local laws and know the quirks of local judges. You can count on us to have the deep understanding that you need.
When you hire a lawyer, you need someone that makes you feel comfortable, and can also argue strongly on your behalf in the courtroom. Travis Eaton is that lawyer. He recognizes that you have turned to him in what’s likely one of the most stressful times of your life, and aims to answer all of your questions quickly and clearly so that you can be relaxed and understand the process.
Travis studied at Texas Christian University and attended law school at American University in Washington, D.C. During law school, he also studied at Oxford University and Southern Methodist University.
Travis was fascinated by family law, so after law school, he returned to Houston and opened Eaton Family Law. Families are the building block of our society, and family law is both legally and emotionally complex. When spouses divorce, there are difficult financial and child custody issues to be sorted out, and Travis prides himself on negotiating these issues in a way that serves the best interests of his client while maintaining those precious parent-child relationships. After all, according to the Texas Family Code, the most important part of any family law case is the best interest of the child.
Travis’s background also includes financial issues. Outside of the children, divorces also mean splitting assets and determining which assets and debts each spouse will take on. Many people are overwhelmed by financial questions in the best of times, and divorce brings up many other emotions, making it even more difficult to make wise financial decisions. When you hire Travis, you can be confident that he will help you structure your finances so that you can move forward successfully with your life post-divorce.
Travis is married to a divorcee and has three children, one of whom is his wife’s from her prior marriage. This personal experience gives Travis the understanding of the emotional and logistical complexities of divorce and can help you navigate the entire process with empathy. It’s more than knowing the law – Travis also has the personal experience to help you through your divorce.
