Patric P. McCallum
Personal Background & Professional Experience:
Introduction.
Hi, I’m Patric McCallum. Thanks for the opportunity to introduce myself!
My passion is making complex situations simple. I help you understand problems and give you the information to solve them, neutralizing stress and anxiety.
As a lawyer, it is my job to answer your questions, which is one of the reasons you hire a lawyer. It’s critically important to ask questions, otherwise you don’t get the information you need to make decisions. I see problems like yours frequently, but this is likely your first time in this situation. I’ve been helping Texas businesses and families for over twenty five years. There are no stupid questions, so please ask!
What I bring to you and your business.
Having good legal counsel matters, because you can spend hours researching online yourself and get no solid answers. All the while, you’re missing opportunities in your business. You think you’re saving money, but you’re not. Stop! Instead, spend a few minutes on the phone with a professional and come away with solid information and solution options. Getting it right the first time saves time and money. Work with the right professional to keep your focus on your business and off distractions. I can help you!
Family law and divorce is my passion practice.
The divorce process necessarily comes with fear, anger, and anxiety. Left unchecked, these feelings grow and make the process harder and more expensive. Information and knowledge are the antidotes to these feelings. When divorcing, there is no money tree from which to harvest more money and resources. Income that used to fund one household now needs to fund two and lifestyles are changing. This is a time when good business judgment and decision making is critical. You should never visit your anger or fear on your community estate, because anger and fear do not make good business decisions.

H Texas Magazine has repeatedly named me as one of Houston’s Top Lawyers, distinguishing my professional work in family law in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017.
