Our process
Alignment is Free.Advice is Paid.
The fifteen-minute alignment review is free because it isn't advice. It is a conflicts check, a fit check, and a path forward. Real advice happens at the Strategy Consultation, once conflicts have cleared and a file is open.
Step 02
Strategy Consultation
Step two is paid because that's when you actually get the answer you came for.
- File reviewed in advance
- Real advice, once you've engaged
By the time your consult begins, your attorney has read your file. The time goes to your questions and your options, not to starting from zero.Begin a Free Case Alignment Review
About the firm
Trial-ready when the case requires it.Resolution-ready when it doesn't.
Most of our clients are business owners.
We talk like that.
Halina Radchenko is a New York-trained litigator running a Texas family-law practice. She prepares every matter as if it is going to trial, because the cases that resolve well are the ones that were ready not to. The preparation is the point. Files get read, timelines get built, and the questions get answered before anyone walks into a courtroom or a mediation.
Russian and Ukrainian by background. English, Russian, and Ukrainian in the office. Family law is one of the few practices where the numbers, the kids, and the future all live in the same case file.
I came to family law because the numbers and the kids and the future all live in the same case file. You need someone who can do all three.
We review every billing entry on every case.

Areas served
Where we file.Each one a courthouse we know.
Family law happens in courtrooms before it happens in settlements. Knowing the court is knowing the case. Each of these areas has its own judges, its own docket rhythm, and its own preferences for how a matter is filed, mediated, and tried.
Which judge hears emergencies on a Friday. Which court asks for a status conference before temporary relief. Which mediators a particular bench tends to recommend. Which filing windows tighten around the holidays. The work happens in details a brochure does not list.
Next step
We don't take every case.
Family law is a long relationship.
The wrong fit costs everyone.
Most of our clients start with a fifteen-minute alignment review. If we are not the right fit, we will say so on the call.
