Description

Practice Law. We’ll Handle the Rest.

You’re a courtroom-ready advocate who wins for families, but solo or small-firm practice has buried you in administrative work. At the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, our intake team signs the clients, our billing team handles the collections, and our systems take care of the overhead. That leaves you free to prepare, advocate and win. This opportunity is with our great team in our Austin office.

About Us The Law Office of Bryan Fagan practices family law, estate planning and probate, and criminal defense across 18 Texas locations . In Houston we have our Corporate and Heights offices, and statewide we serve clients in Abilene, Angleton, Atascocita, Austin, Dallas, Dickinson, El Paso, Fort Worth, Galveston, Humble, Kingwood, Richmond, Rockwall, San Antonio, The Woodlands and Victoria, with more locations on the way.
