Services
I have more than 25 years of experience with family law matters ranging from adoption, pre-nuptial agreements, divorce, child custody matters, child support, modification of orders involving children, and other important family law matters. I work in the Cypress and Greater Houston Texas areas and over the years I have earned a reputation as a top family lawyer who truly cares about my clients.
At the Deaton Law Firm, our focus is on families. Sometimes marriages end, parents can't agree on important child-related issues or how to divide property, or a loved one passes away. During these times you need a compassionate, caring attorney to help you through the complicated legal implications.
At the Deaton Law Firm, we understand how frustrating the breakup of a marriage can be. Couples do not begin their marriage with a goal of divorce. Despite the dreams of newlyweds, divorce can become an inevitable consequence of a broken relationship. Our team is empathetic to the upheaval that comes with the end of a marriage.
The answers to these questions may require a complicated legal process to settle your loved one's estate. On top of your grief, you may quickly feel overwhelmed. This is when an experienced probate lawyer can help ease your mind. If you are facing the probate process, you are not alone. Our office will shoulder the legal burden so you can focus on getting through this difficult time.
Most people don't like to think about death, let alone plan for it. Although the end of life is difficult to discuss, considering your options and preparing a few documents now can provide security for your family later and peace of mind for you. Attorney Deaton has decades of experience as an Estate Law attorney.

Very Very disrespectful receptionist/paralegal. Of course we understand the Main Attorney will always be busy. But the receptionist Laurie was of no assistance and getting very angry quoting "I can only take a message she may get back to you today, maybe next week" Didnt ask for our case number to look up case or documents that Ms Deaton worked. Ms. Deaton's website clearly states "you are not a case number" Well we wish we were and your staff could look it up, I didnt even feel like a Human being talking to your Receptionist to get information about a case the family PAID you to represent.

Positive: Quality
Ruth and her staff were excellent. She managed a complex and emotional guardianship matter for my brother. Ruth and her staff always kept me informed of every step of the guardianship process and I highly recommend her to handle any family legal matters.
