We Fight For Your Family

This lawyer is licensed to practice in Texas and has no record of discipline from the Texas bar association. *

Firm Overview

At Blanchard & Thomas, LLP, we fight to protect your family, your freedom, and your future. That moto reflects our concentration on family law, criminal law, and personal injury.

Our primary mission is to guide each client through what is often the most challenging period of their life. We take great pride in getting to know each and every client, not just the intricacies of their legal issue.

We attempt to bring understanding and confidence to clients who sometimes find themselves overwhelmed and afraid. We cannot guarantee outcomes in the cases we handle, but we can guarantee that our clients will know the law, know their options, and most importantly know their attorney is there fighting with them every step of the way.

"We're highly committed to being available to you locally. That's why we have three other local offices to serve you better."
