Mel W Shelander & Tara Shelander Attorneys At Law
Shelander Law Offices is one of Beaumont's most established law firms with a distinct history of excellence. At Shelander Law Offices, we truly take pride in advocating on behalf of the people, individuals, and families of Beaumont, TX and its surrounding communities. Our clients come to us after facing serious legal matters, many of which are life-changing in nature.

The concerns that come along with these types of issues can cause grief and stress and you should not have to fend for yourself on your own devices. Although the legal system can be intimidating and can seem rather unforgiving, we want to help you understand your rights and options as you move forward with your legal matter.
Services
When you experience a legal hardship, everything can change. Dealing with an issue can be incredibly stressful and cost you time, money, and headaches if you do not have a trained professional on your side. With more than four decades of experience in litigating on our clients' behalf, you can focus on recovering, instead of finding yourself overwhelmed and worried about your court case.
Mel W. Shelander has practiced law at the same location for over 35 years, successfully handling thousands of different kinds of cases for clients throughout Texas. As a lawyer, he is intentionally not board-certified in any one area of practice because he does not want to narrow his practice to one specific area.
Our Beaumont family law lawyers are equipped, prepared, and qualified to assist in all types of family law issues in Texas. We believe in helping our clients take a step back from highly sensitive legal issues to gain a better understanding of the bigger picture ahead. Although we are mindful of your current mindset and emotional state, we also help you consider the journey ahead.
Divorce may be a process that refers to the legal termination of a marriage, but at its core, it can be an opportunity for a family to start new. Although the legal process can seem like a straightforward procedure, the emotional and sensitive nature of these types of cases can result in decisions made in haste, spite, or retaliation.
Following a divorce or separation, feelings of stress and anxiety can make it difficult to think clearly. Figuring out who is going to have primary custody of your children and working out a visitation agreement is one decision that should be discussed with a divorce attorney you trust.

At Shelander Law Offices, our Beaumont child custody attorneys have more than four decades of experience handling cases involving child custody and visitation rights.We understand that there is nothing more valuable to you than your children's happiness and well-being, which is why we are here to provide you with the individualized legal counsel that your case deserves.
