At Woodburn & Watkins, we understand that facing a high-asset divorce or a state criminal charge can feel completely overwhelming. We pride ourselves on offering clear, straightforward guidance, keeping our clients informed at every stage of the legal process.

Whether in a judge's chambers or before a jury, we fight to ensure your voice is heard and your rights are fully protected.

High-Asset Divorce and Complex Property Division

For individuals with substantial estates, family businesses, oil and gas interests, or significant retirement portfolios, divorce presents unique financial risks. Texas is a community property state, meaning marital assets must be divided in a manner that is just and right. Our high-asset divorce attorneys are skilled in tracing separate property, valuing closely-held businesses, and uncovering hidden assets. We work closely with financial analysts to construct a precise division strategy that protects your hard-earned assets and secures your financial future.

Compassionate Child Custody and Child Support Litigation

A child's relationship with their parents is invaluable. During a divorce or custody battle, establishing a stable, realistic parenting plan is a top priority. Our Amarillo child custody lawyers have extensive experience representing mothers, fathers, and grandparents in conservatorship disputes and visitation planning. We advocate for schedules that support your child's developmental and emotional needs, and we help calculate accurate child support structures. If a parent's living or financial situation changes post-divorce, we also provide representation for child support and custody modifications.

Robust Criminal Defense and DUI Representation

In addition to our family law practice, Woodburn & Watkins, LLP provides aggressive criminal defense for individuals facing charges in Amarillo and surrounding counties. Led by John Michael Watkins, our criminal defense practice defends clients against allegations ranging from misdemeanors and traffic offenses to major felonies, drug crimes, and driving under the influence (DUI/DWI). A conviction can carry life-altering penalties; our team is committed to analyzing every detail of your arrest, identifying weaknesses in the prosecution's case, and fighting for a reduction or dismissal of your charges.
